Started to comment about 30 secs into video then decided to wait it out. Great job on "covering" this song. My band is not a cover band, originals only, except when we get a crowd dancing like crazy then they wanna throw out song titles for us to play, Slide is one of the few that we do. James Brown is the only other cat we cover on occassion. Guess I will subscribe. Check us out and I promise more videos soon. The Funkanauts.
SD...just listening to this performance alone...brings me back to Madison Square Garden in the summer of 1977 when Slave opened for the Isley Brothers and they absolutely KICKED ASS!!!
Fast forward to 2009...you and the band THREW down. Have mercy!!! Hell, Imma be honest. I've seen/heard some of the performances from the SLAVE spin-off groups....two words: absolutely horrible.....
If I hasn't read the heading closely enough, I would have thought that these fine performers were Slave itself. SUPERB COVER - wish I could have been there to see it firsthand (Mind you, you guys are superb in your own right, to be sure)!
fantastic job,i remember hearing this song when i was in the marines in the late seventys,the brothers had it blasting on there 8track players,thats correct kids i said 8tracks players,you guys sound like slave good job all around.
Well Vocals definately on point. Band is good BUT I hate when bands think speeding up tempo is a way of makinga funky song more funky. It should have been same tempo OR better yet SLOWER and THAT would have been hot...in my opinion
Like the other comment said... u sound just like them

It's not fair...I want to be a Old School Funk band. You guys are playing all the songs I want to do. Keep up the good work and post other shows.
