OTOH, I'm not sure I'd make it through an hour of partying with George Clinton - and that's a problem, because a P-Funk party never stops.

I quite agree - he was the only disappointment (to me) on the entire DVD - thank goodness he only stayed for a couple of tracks. Jamal Thomas on drums was awesome but I think I prefer Dennis Chambers on "Pass the Peas"...good call on your part on that one!


Billy Cobham "Stratus" is now playing in the office.

Hey what did you think of the ultimate drum kit in Traps magazine. I liked the cymbal kit worth 2K.

Billy Cobham "The Pleasant Pheasant" next.
I just ordered David Garfield's 2003 album "Giving Back" after listening to this fantastic groove a whole bunch of times.

I defy anyone to listen to this track and keep still!!!!!
This ain't live but I picked it up on CD recently...seems to be have taken off of the vinyl but this is dynamite infectious stuff!

Cold Blood
Came across this old thread (again!) and coincidentally, I'm listening to Donny Hathaway's "Live" playing 'Everything is Everything'. Willie Weeks (the great) is playin' the famous bass solo and the crowd's goin' ape! You should enjoy the David Garfield disc although it's more of a west coast studio/fusion disc, not a 'Live infectious funk jam' at all (but most of what's listed on this thread doesn't fall under that category either). Garfield also recorded the excellent "Tribute To Jeff' Porcaro (legendary late drummer for Steely Dan & Toto) AND IF you enjoy 'live infectious' Fusion, Garfield recorded a live record with the Karizma band called 'Document' that's absolutely killa!
