@zdrumdude, Yes, this is post Eric Burdon & The Animals. Eric Burdon and WAR recorded 3 albums together, before WAR and Eric Burdon went their separate ways. Their biggest hit together was 'Spill The Wine'. This song is WAR only. Peace.
Not a single word about: "the man's keepin' me down", "I gotta make this drug deal", or "I gotta slap my bitch around".... I had them on EIGHT TRACK!!! :o)
I'm on my feet again. Listening to this music reminds me of the days in the projects with my crazy Irish friends that listened to allllllll the soul music back then
On guitar-Howard Scott, drums-Harold Brown, bass-BB Dickerson, harmonica-Lee Oskar. Still KILLING IT to this day, with this and THEIR other great WAR songs but now known as the LOWRIDER BAND. RIP Charles Miller-sax and Papa Dee- conga. Hoping some day, baby brother on keyboards-Lonnie Jordan, will make it right and reunite with his brothers.
@paulmack9999, I feel ya on that. Although, I can respect someone sampling as long as they give the originators their propers and do it up right, none of the bad language and disrespect. It gives the younger generation a chance to check out the older stuff that they may not have heard otherwise. Peace.
The last time saw this funky,fantastic guys,was 2010 at the Hatch Shell in Boston(thanx to Oldies 103.3) and they are still phenomenal!! Lee Oskar is still a spaz! These guys jammed for 2 hours straight never missing a beat or note! They are my all-time favorite from the 70s Lee introduced each & every member where they were from,and how they hooked up,Man,they sound as great as they did back in the day!! Gotta see them all again soon!!
@chazbigpotato, Isn't it though?! If you like this, WAR has so much more killer tunes, and yet are so woefully unrecognized as being one of the best bands of all time. Drop by my channel, I've made it easy for people to find everything by these ACE musicians. Peace.
@freein2339 There is an excellent music magazine out of Brooklyn called "WaxPoetics." This month WAR is on the cover and is the feature story. It's worth searching for!
This song and video has so many of the things I love in music - chanted vocals, lots of people on stage, band members coming on one by one, a drummer absolutely focused on nailing that beat .. oh, and a great groove!
Totally based on Sly Stone's 'Thank You fa lettingme ..." but if you're going to copy - copy a classic!
@craigblast You are so freakin RIGHT! Sooooo glad I grew up in the era of this absolutley finely tuned music! War has been preforming for 40 years,I've seen them a dozen times,last one being this past summer (2010) and man..they are STILL AWESOME!!! Lee Oskar is a manic....STILL...Betcha no (rapper) will ever last more than 8 years...Rock & Roll will never,ever die!!!!!!
@RedSoxFan4eva1000 WOW! I would love to see them play ! I've dug War since the '70s. Do you happen to know the name of the harp player in this line-up by any chance?
@elvispreseli, Hi, I know you addressed someone else but I will answer your question. The harp player is none other than the great Lee Oskar. He currently tours with 3 other original band members from WAR, Howard Scott, Harold Brown and BB Dickerson but they have to use the name THE LOWRIDER BAND because THEIR WAR name was stolen years ago by a lowdown ex-producer of theirs and they have been trying for years to get THEIR WAR name back. It's great to see other WAR fans on YT. Peace, WARQUEEN.
Come back baby brother, Lonnie Jordan to your OG brothers of WAR. Time to see the light and give us true WAR fans this magic back. Even if you have to leave Jerry Goldigger's WAR name to do so. I thought it was all about the music, Lonnie, not the money. Don't be misled people by the current lineup of WAR today. The 'Heartbeat' and SOUL of WAR is with the LOWRIDER BAND. They just can't use their own WAR name because of legal bull**** that their conniving ex-producer pulled on them. Peace.
when Lonnie Jordan released "Different moods of me" he sang " I dream of the day when i'll be a star" .... so he abandonded idea of sideman long time ago.... idiot...
The only one in the "new War" is keyboardist Lonnie Jordan. Saxophonist Charles Miller and percussionist Papa Dee Allen have made their transitions to the next plane. The other four guys are the Low Rider Band. Yeah, there's only ONE original member in War today.
if i had to leave on the moon bymyself, i'll definitly take all my war's records with me!!!!!! i had the great chance to see them on stage, and OMFG just incredible i'm in love with them ;)
