the best bass ever

[Odawg96]

Good lord! When that groove started, I broke out with the funky face spontaneously. You know...that face you make that looks like you smelled some stankin.

This is FUNKY!! How FUNKY?!?!

Funkier than a hundred unwashed asses in a wild onion patch!!!

[xgorebreath]

Funky as fuck

[silkscreen07]

OMG!! That's FUN-KAY!! I wish I had the opportunity to jam with you guys!!

[lflanery]

You can't beat this jam, not with Eddie on lead and that killer bass, Richard.

[1Delta]

priceless bit of history, and yes, that is some kind of bass playing.

makes me think of the infinite variations of that R&B Funk groove that fueled Right Off, on Miles Davis Epic Jack Johnson.

whooooooooo!

[jody808]

i knew a couple of heads from Plainfield who told the same type stories, lot of funk history there

[blacflower1]

MAN, THAT BEAT IS SOOO COLD!!! YOU NEED TO PUT THAT JAM ON CD ASO I CAN BUY A COPY. THATS SOME COLD BASS PLAYING.

[e37a]

What's up, Richard! Hey man, its Byron. Good toosee that smiling face. Glad to see you still make it do what it do!!!!!!

[doctorc380]

Man, you killin' that bass. Too damn funky. If you listen to the first 50 seconds, you'll notice the groove was the same groove used on Eddie's version of California Dreaming. Funny thing is I listen to Funkadelic's earlier stuff more than the Warner Bros. period. Much more soulful, not to take away from the latter, it's all funky.

[1stcoasthitter]

yeah, man....and this was done before california dreamin..thanks for the positive comment...much luv!

[dogshit71]

the early funk from eddie was the best! even as he got better, i'll always remember the 1st time i heard him play back in 1968. nice baseline...what is it with plainfield? something in the water?

please don't connect eddie with p-funk too much. eddie WAS funkadelic and wil always be FUNKADELIC. he really didn't get into the p-funk operettas. and this isn't a putdown to p-funk, they had some amazing guitarists too!

[1stcoasthitter]

true indeed...maggotbrain!

[nosyfieldstone]

I like the way this captures the urban flavor from the early 1970's.

[1stcoasthitter]

thank you very much:)

[michelle2837]

man bad jam eddie could play it all funk, rock, blues, you name it funkadelic toys rock you wanna hwear eddie blast off you gotta cop that cd.

[akatolbert]

thats what im talking about nice bass line!!!!!!!!!!!

[ovneb]

i was never fortunate enough to meet eddie, but he seems like a very down-to-earth gentle human being. on top of that, his guitar skill are tight and unique. i can only imagine how lucky you felt to be one of his friends. it's too bad eddie got taken advantage of by people in the music business. i can only hope one day, i'll get to meet him and play a little bit with him.

[yangcuzo]

Yeah Yeah. That's that shit right there.

[pshark]

Thanks for that. Where was that outdoor concert footage shot and will it be released on dvd?
