So who used to bring a tape recorder to the gogo wit them to try and record the whole show? LLS keep it real....I bet errybody in the hood wanted a copy too cuz it was crankin lol
those were the days maddness shop the metro triples and that joint down by andrews air force base the best go go's ever wilma's park i could go on and on
every friday the best time wit r.e. is @the big black hole!!!!!!!!!!!hit da madness shop u dig and get dipped and slide up the hole where everybody goes!
@ Woody Wood- I beg to differ..I don't think nobody called out those ole Joints like Maniac Lawerence..It seemed to me back then that Benny kinda was copying Lawerence, cause Lawerence used to HOG that MIC and his Roll Call was off the chain..HE GOT ER"BODY WIT the quickness.. :) @ kingofthegogobeat- Ieee FUKKIN love you for having all this historic Go-GO...OMG
Lil' Benny, Maniac Lawrence, Mike, Godfather, Scotty, Marky, Footz, Jungle Boogie, David, White Boy, Funky Ned, Big Horn, and D Floyd
To me this was the best Old Essence line-up! Mickey is a beast but in those days he was with Reality or Ayre Rayde.
Funk is a legend, but he has always been to soft for me. Lil' Benny's voice had power and the best talking style around to me! Nobody could hit those Old Essence joints better than Benny!
Yeah i got the this on CD. They cranked the whole show. Someone got killed after the show, the same person that killed someone the night before up Triples. Layed out out in the Iverson Mall parking lot. Girls crying. 5-O hadn't taped off the area yet.

I would mos def say the ESSENCE was DC's favorite go-go band. Trouble and E.U. had their moments but ESSENCE is probably the favorite!

To me the best Essence era was when Benny was lead talking and Footz and Jungle Boogie was hold'n it down!
That was the true Rare Essence! When they were still crankin but had true music on it!
