I AM PUTTING TOGETHER A PETITION TO INDUCT MANDRILL IN THE ROCK IN ROLL HALL OF FAME. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO PARTICIPATE PLEASE WRITE A SORT LETTER STATING WHY YOU THINK MANDRILL SHOULD BE INDUCTED. SEND YOUR LETTER TO ME @ neftalisantiago@me.com
Bought the dvd years ago...still one of my favourite live music dvd:s and it came with a hand written thank you note from Ric WIlson, which was really cool! Big fan from Finland.
i was at Ft Dupont Park on Aug 13th and Mandrill KILLED IT. the entire show was classic.everyone was grooving and on their feet dancing (including your's truly). what was incredible was how well they played after all these years and how closely they sounded like the original recording. What a show.What a concert.What a band. Mandrill; quintessential funk.
Can't wait until August 13, 2011. Gonna check them out at Fort Dupont in DC. I have always been a Mandrill Fan...... Been checking them out since they put out Hang Loose.
I grew up in the 70s, and this was the jam. Mandrill was ahead of their time. They are coming to DC this summer at Fort Dupont. I will be there in the Front Row. Can't wait.
I used to visit Queens , New York every summer from Wilmington, Delaware,,,thats where I learned how to do the Fencewalk,,,,bought it back to Delaware, and we partied.
I am from this time and this performance is as fierce and original as the album , god bless you brothers this is the path that artist and musicians has payed that can be but not always associated with the present. Good fuckin job of showing how it was and is done.
BETTER I REMEMBER DANCIN TO THIS ONE AND WINNING ALL THE DANCE CONTESTS AND I DO MEAN ALL OF THEM!!! I FENCEWALK ALL OVER THEY HEADS LOL BUT FOREAL WHAT HAPPEN TO PIANO MAN WITH THE LONG HAIR? WITH HIS FINE SELF
What can one say, that hasn't been said already....the band is just hoooot! I'm from Waterbury, CT and back in the day 1970's we were on it...plugged in and tuned into Mandrill. Thank you Neftali Santiago, and all of members of the band for sharing your talents, gifts and music! The funk was so thick, you needed a chain saw to cut through it...and that's good! Cause that's the way we love it! Again, that you...thank you....thank you!
MANDRILL's flow - a ridiculously awesome fusion of Funk/Latin/Jazz - was 2nd 2 NONE! Neftali & Crew's tite-@ss rhythms, IN-YR-D@MN-FACE brass perfs, hard-edge lead & rhythm git-work over a bed of "hot-sauced" flavored, Hammond B-3-w.-Leslie (& some Clav ) throw-down produced 1, SICK-@ss CLASSIC!!!
The " 'Drill " 4-Eva' baby! They don't ( or just can't) MAKE 'em like this n-e mo'! 1 of the MAIN reasons I became a musician (bassist).
bad song, bad video. the song has always been bad. the video brought it out even more. fencewalk was the first song i learned on bass - everything from start to finish is the reason it's my favorite song of all time. keep up the funk!
OMG! This song is just as funky as when I first heard it years ago. Where is all of the real music? This is what I need to be listening to on my morning drive to work. Coffee??? Please it can't kick higher than what you guys have in your soulful cups. Keep playing AMAZING funk. Love you guys 4ever! Peace!
Mandril is still kicking azz - i had no idea, thnks for posting this 4real u know - and they sound really good still like yesterday - one thing about Mandril - they're vocals are impeccable too..remember 'gone gone house of wood' and even her fencewalk their singing is awesome - we know they play good music - they look good too-go head Mandril - i'm in love again with these guys
One of the first bass lines I ever learned. My cousin brought a Mandrill album home from college and hip me to it. I was a Fudgie Kae fan from the first bar. He is the "Reason I Sing"..... Peace!

Alot of bands from th 70's, when you see them now, they kinda lack the funk!
But these guys are just as good now as they were 40 years ago! ;)
