The Meters - Live 1974 - Look-Ka Py Py / Jungle Man

[ladivina79]

Surprised that no one before me has noticed that the percussionist is Cyril Neville, Art's youngest brother. And he KILLS on those congas.

And holy shit, I love it when George Porter, Jr. growls.

That is all.

The Meters are the shit!

[cyberjackable]

It does'nt get much Funkier on a monday night !!

[mikeizzle4shizzle]

@invisiblekid14

contradicting or complementing?

congas are the beat of the jungle

they play them because they're black

[Diabloivxx]

@invisiblekid14 they are congas, not bongos. also, they sound great to me! should be about "double time" from the drummer. top notch meters, as expected.

[tbone5665]

Look at the audience...it's as if a Sarah Palin Tea Party convention just broke out and everyone grabbed a seat during a Meters concert. They obviously don't get it. Long live the Meters.

[playon51]

@tbone5665

These are white people in Chicago... this show was made to introduce New Orleans music to people who hadn't heard before... they are just checking it out.

AWESOME JUNGLE MAN GROOVE MINTED

[LordMumia]

[rathimself]

Quality, but this tune is much groovier without the wigged out fella on the congas.

[ikbenberberenjijniet]

@rathimself

but CONGAS are the best!!!

[familytreemusic]

you have real soul artists even today (d'angelo, erykah, the roots, alicia...) but definetly the 70's were the best tyears for soul, r&b and funk.

[SmedleySmorganoff]

i feel dumb to ask but who is alica?

[familytreemusic]

alicia keys

[lidesnowi]

She is boring cunt!

[SmedleySmorganoff]

@lidesnowi

ahhh ... thats why i don't know her ^^

[vinegaroon1]

Dont wanna seem out of it, but is there a modern version of the Meters still performing today? I was living in NOLA in the Sixties and Seventies and saw this original band many time and still love their sound. Anything like them around today? I'm headed back to NOLA for a visit soon and plan to head to Tipitina's for some grooovin'.

[djlbp]

@vinegaroon1 There is a band called the Funky Meters that is Art Neville on keys, Brian Stoltz on guitar, George Porter, Jr. on bass and Russell Batiste on drums, so two original members and they are badass. Also check out Ivan Neville's Dumpstaphunk, they are definitely keeping NOLA funk alive.

[openswimmer]

Yeeeeeeeha! Truely hits the spot. Now get down everyone...

[donnyab]

but I would like to be hipped out to anyone else who can put out the same vibe! ..please explain this to me ;-)

[krmysmth]

The Men of Kappa Alpha Psi stepped to this song, "The Jungle Man", we called it "I'm Yo Kappa Man"! Brothers in the south eastern part of the US knew of this. YO YO!

[grindfap79]

totally funktastic, i was born in the wrong times, definitely. just hate nowadays black music, so artificial. that's the real deal, endpoint. black music died in the 70's.

[chocolatefunk85]

Oh man you are totally right.... Pretty much everything is so watered down nowadays. The digital and HD revolution has gotten rid of the colors and soul that bands like The Meters 30 or 40 years ago produced with their music and recordings. The only guys that that touch what they had nowadays are Lettuce and Soulive or maybe The Brand New Heavies as well. that is to my knowledge but I would like to be hipped out to anyone else who can put out the same vibe!

[CaptainCavemaan]

@grindfap79

the blues lives on...

[ragingstorm33]

fucking awesome

[gusredmond]

how the F can you NOT dance to taht shit!

[zoepmpzoepmp]

This is the thing about funk or jazz audiences. Before, people used to move a bit more, and now it feels like it's BAD to do that. But it's not. I think people feel ashamed to move their **** What do you think ?

[utubeissad]

ABSOLUTELY!!! I agree 100%!!

[zoepmpzoepmp]

I wanna live this NOW AGAIN

[mrbiteymouth]

Always get a kick outta white people criticizing other white people for being white. i believe the word is "pocho."

[TokeMugaba]

i found this band few days ago.. and they are my favorite.. I LOVE THEM

[pastense]

OMG...that is some NAAAASTY azz funk!

[Mischtchratzer]

Just great, but how can people sit around as if they were already dead and listen to this kind of music.... it's a shame.... I would dance and jump as hard as I could.... Funk-Forever.....

[willedsmithmo]

Yeah man totally! Emotions surpressed by contemporary attitudes/stiff whiteness.....square as fuck you and me'd be up there on that stage hittin the floor!xx

[Mischtchratzer]

yo man, you're absolutely right, but groove has nothing to do with color... either you have it in your legs or not.... :-) this audience is just a) too drunk to dance b) too stupid to understand it c) or even simpler: these were/are all ididots... FUNK-FOREVER

[willedsmithmo]

True man true...may have helped if you knew I was white! Peace Brutha xxxx

[MrGrooveshaker]

@Mischtchratzer +10000000

[egodband]

[mammballs]

How the hell did Zig let the damm bongo player. Exceleent minus the bongos. Makes sound to muddy / busy!!!! Go Ziggy

[daboozer100]

[funkberto]

Is something Dogmatic say it, but the FUNK is the most next to a 'Perfect music':

- U can ROCK IT, TRIP, SWING IT, Analize the Jam and DANCE TO THE MADNESS wit this.

Everything is on the One!

[Bizarronumber4]

This is such classic funk!

[Neoconhater]
