I know, I know, everybody's entitled to their opinion. People are always telling me that. And I'm entitled to mine too. I grew up "back in the day." Beatles, Motown, Sinatra, Eagles, WAR, Zeppelin, MJ, Prince, Police......are what I cut my teeth on, came of age listenin' to, learned to appreciate music from (these among others). But the music from the 60s, 70s, 80s aren't the only thing worth listening to. Can you say, Adele? And lots of HOF inductees were "untimely", but, oh well.

@ocarrington, Isn't that sick!! And they still GOT IT! I know firsthand. I just heard them play this in concert a few days ago. They now have to call themselves THE LOWRIDER BAND, but they ARE STILL WAR. Peace.
@danpfd Not a racist, not at all but by your "FUNNY" comment, I view it as a put down. And it is a "Black Thang...and you wouldnt understand." And that was made very obvious by your comment. So you "grow up!!!" But its cool to see you enjoy good ol' soul music. Pull up a sit and sit a while maybe we will feed you some collard greens, fried chicken and corn bread. LOL!!!!

Please go the rock and roll hall of fame - rockhall.com/get-involved/interact/poll/ - to vote for WAR to be inducted - you will be voting for the ORIGINAL group - this is something that can't be taken away from them.
Love this video and the dancing - that's what real music makes you do!
@TotalDesignZ, Thanks for trying but the voting is over and WAR/LOWRIDERBAND did not get inducted to the R&RHOF for 2012. They got passed over so they could let the Beastie Boys (who sample WAR) get inducted instead. Can you believe that BS?!!
@TotalDesignZ If you've never listened to the Beastie Boys, I recommend you do so, rather than just condemning their music without any foundation. They have a few lesser known funk albums from earlier in their career that should provide a suitable answer to your "Is that even music?" question. That said, War should be in the HoF, no doubt.
@grizzly44 Brother grizzly, it was a question, not really a statement as like I said, to my knowledge, I have never heard a song from them that I KNEW was them anyway.
In any case, I can admit when I'm wrong. PM me with a few links to some good stuff and I'll post a reply here...
@luvureally, They should have picked someone else off that list to induct for 2012. Or at least induct WAR at the same time as the Beastie Boys so the BB's could've given WAR their propers on the same stage, for their sampling of WAR's song Lowrider.
LOWRIDERBANDFAN.... WOW I DIDNT KNOW ALL THAT , PLAINLY NEITHER DID THE GENT. THAT TRY TO EXPLAIN TO ME...... THANKS FOR THE CLEAR INSIGHT.. THATS WHY THEY CALL YOU " THE LOWRIDER BAND FAN.''. ENJOY YOUR DAY..
Hell ya!! Just opened for these guys last night and they melted the friggin place!!! Stamford CT yall! and the nicest guys I ever met - they even helped load OUR gear after the show!
ITS A TRIP TO THINK THAT THE WHITE GUY IN THE BAND........GOT WAR TOGETHER...I THINK WE SHOULD BE THANKFULL. .... GLASIAS HOMEBOY.. CUZ I STILL LOVE CRUISING TO THERE JAMS...
@LDC909VQ, The white guy in this vid didn't get WAR together. WAR was already a band before they were even called WAR, with the exception of Lee Oskar on harmonica who arrived with Burdon to the States. Eric Burdon who is not in this vid, was already famous with The Animals and was looking for a new band to perform with, heard the Night Shift, as WAR was called before, and the rest is history. I do give propers to Eric Burdon for recognizing pure talent, and showcasing it with his talent. Peace.
This song was featured on an episode of Everybody Hates Chris and Poor Righteous Teachers sampled it for their song Rock this funky Joint. I figured I'd research the original on here
@scottishpride222, RESPECT!! Yes! I am proud of, and love the great Lee Oskar as well, and I'm not even Danish. : ) Lee Oskar still performs with 3 of the ORIGINAL men in this video, but they are now known as THE LOWRIDER BAND, because a greedy former producer of theirs STOLE THEIR WAR NAME. If you want to see the REAL WAR band in action you're NOT going to find it with the WAR COVER band that tours today. Never forget the REAL OG's of WAR, THE LOWRIDER BAND. Peace.
@lowriderbandfan thank you for the info i will spread the word:-) i have loved War's songs for many years and only found out a year ago that the white guy playing the mean harmonica was Danish this blew my mind i grew up in Denmark with a Scottish father hence the username and i never knew this surpricingly few people here in Denmark know about him witch is a crying shame im gonna do all i can to remedy that
before our innocence just eroded with the day to day - we still thought it would all be good. what i wouldn't give to go back and maybe make a bigger difference, oh hell, we can still make a difference, just have to want to
@Desperadounico Yea..I hear you - so very true. Maybe it's often unrecognized that the dance moves are so good because just listen to the MUSIC they got to dance TO! (The music was so good, the dance going down on it was equally good - the body moved to the music itself, mirrored it). Some of them danced to the bass line, some to the drum work, some worked the body to the melody line....it was whatever the person's ear was tuned to.
No offense neisha, I would say that "Vibrant" sounds like War. Obviously the 70's soul train performance predates anything q-tip ever dropped (nuff respect to tip and tribe, but war is like more next level) . As you listen to more and more WAR songs you will find that rap music has borrowed a lot from them. With the exception of James Brown WAR is like the father of hip-hop instrumental basics:)
@4thelordlove, Now THAT'S the way to show RESPECT! to the OG's of WAR by 'delivering the word'! The ORIGINAL artists of WAR are so overlooked by the music industry and even by some of their so called fans, it's a shame. They deserve way better for all the beautiful, funky, jazzy, bluesy, iconic WAR sounds that they have given us. As OG WAR says, 3 fingers and a smile : ) my friend, and thanks for RECOGNIZING the ULTIMATE BAND in my opinion, which now goes by The LOWRIDER BAND. Peace, WARQUEEN.
These guys were SOOOOO damn ahead of their time. it's ridiculous. There ain't even the REMOTE possibility of anyone today coming close to this sound today. It can't even be duplicated.
@pb4ueat1390, Hi, thank you for 'delivering the word' about WAR on their vids and thanks for the great comments on my channel. Had to post here since you are on private mode. Sorry about that, but you deserved a thanks! Peace to you, WARQUEEN.
Born in 1983 n ive known dis song since i was a young lil girl till da day im gown... im 27 now. Thanx mom n dad for at least leavin me wit some knowledge of some good music!
@LP101A , Yeah they are. Make sure you don't go and get fooled by the karaoke lineup of WAR that currently tours. The REAL OG's of WAR are now called the LOWRIDER BAND because of an evil former producer stealing THEIR WAR name. I have seen both groups in concert and my WAR fan devotion stays with the LOWRIDER BAND, the "HEARTBEAT" of original WAR. Peace, WARQUEEN.
One of the greatest drummers who ever walked the earth. One of the greatest bass players who ever touched a bass guitar (he rewrote the book). The organ player could SING and did THINGS with that keyboard; Awesome! The lead guitar/lead vocalist could SING - Unreal vocal sound! Lee Oskar was one-of-a-kind. The music they played was bewildering. Fundamentally mind-boggling music! WHAT A BAND!!!
@TheWardrumma He is Harold Ray Brown. He is one of the founders of the band, with the lead Guitarist. At 0:01 He just throws both sticks down to set it all up for his hook. Then check out how he kicks it off with his hook at 0:02-0:04. Brrrrraaatttt!.....Thunk!,...Tut-TAT!!!! As soon as he finishes the Tut-TAT!!!, they come in with the vocal line (right on the button) - "SLIPPIN INTO DARKNEEEESS!" At 0:50; he "pushes" right TROUGH the high hat with his WHOLE ARM. Unreal!!
the music industry began slippin into darkness when "the sugarhill gang" came out with that stupid rap song which i cant even think of the name of at this moment. now it is almost engulfed in darkness with very few original creative artists like war. it is all about money, image, etc. these great musicians cant even use their own group name nowdays. new musicians have gone from being influenced by bands like war to just plain out ripping them off. ..sad state of music today.
Imagine a live band playing! At 2010 we can't put a band together anymore at any level.Just low quality guitar punk bands, and criminals rapping over a Casio Beat!
Lee Oscar has got to be one of the best harp players ever, but he sure doesn't look like he's got a whole lotta rythym when he's dancing on stage. Reminds me of Steve Martin as Naven Johnson in "The Jerk"
@florange00, lol, those are Lee's signature moves. Wouldn't be the same if I didn't get to see him doing what he does in concert. Love the great Lee Oskar, as well as the rest of the original gentlemen of WAR . Peace.
An era when music knew no limits or prejudice. Watched this when it was first broadcast. I loved WAR and always kept an eye out when they would appear on television. I still have an audio cassette of their set from Don Kirshner's "Rock Concert".
Alot of good music has come and gone through the years, But I think that many would agree with me when I say that the 70s produced the BEST MUSIC of any decade. Bands like WAR, SANTANA, THE ISLEY BROS.,THE MOTOWN SOUND, AND ALL THE OLD SCHOOL FUNK, topped the charts. They just dont make good music like that anymore.
Wow.. This song takes me back to being a kid. My mom would put on some music and clean the house. When she was done she was sip on Champale and dance with us kids. My mom was the best. I miss those days.
This was the song! LOL----Beads hanging from the doorway, and my dad playing the bongos with a roach clip attached to the side of his fro' piece. Ha! That was my house and this song illustrated it...
@Linkbucks101, Yes! Lonnie Jordan needs to leave that puppetmaster Jerry Golddigger and get back with his OG bros, now the LOWRIDER BAND. We true WAR fans want this MAGIC back! Peace.
can you dig it!? well then brotha slide me some smooth skin soul brother... ... im 16 but i love war's music even tho i wasnt born back then i love old music compared to newer artist cause most shit now in days is just "fuck that bitch in tha ass yea yea yea yea gotta get that money o keep blowin doe" nah i dont like tht i like this this is music you can just sit back and relax to
@PhuckHue2 , I'm not seeing what you're seeing. Looks like their lips are in sync with the music to me. As for the dancing, people dance on beat, off beat, all over the place. Not sure how you can tell it's not in sync by that. Peace.
Thanks for posting HONANSOUL, I love this vid and anything by the OG's of WAR.
@angelface3121 THE ORIGINAL WAR MEMBERS HOWARD SCOTT,HAROLD BROWN BB DICKERSON AND THE LEGENDARY LEE OSKAR WILL BE PERFORMING THE CONCERTS IN THE PARK SERIES IN EL MONTE CALIFORNIA JULY 7TH.THEY ARE NOW THE LOWRIDER BAND GOOGLE THEM
now thats a band!!! A live performance.... no lip syncing..... I remember seeing this on Soul Train...Yes, Im a 70's baby... What happened to bands now?

One of the greatest drummers who ever walked the earth. One of the greatest bass players who ever touched a bass guitar (he rewrote the book). The organ player could SING and did THINGS with that keyboard; Awesome! The lead guitar/lead vocalist could SING - Unreal vocal sound! Lee Oskar was one-of-a-kind. The music they played was bewildering. Fundamentally mind-boggling music! WHAT A BAND!!!

@TheWardrumma He is Harold Ray Brown. He is one of the founders of the band, with the lead Guitarist. At 0:01 He just throws both sticks down to set it all up for his hook. Then check out how he kicks it off with his hook at 0:02-0:04. Brrrrraaatttt!.....Thunk!,...Tut-TAT!!!! As soon as he finishes the Tut-TAT!!!, they come in with the vocal line (right on the button) - "SLIPPIN INTO DARKNEEEESS!" At 0:50; he "pushes" right TROUGH the high hat with his WHOLE ARM. Unreal!!

the music industry began slippin into darkness when "the sugarhill gang" came out with that stupid rap song which i cant even think of the name of at this moment. now it is almost engulfed in darkness with very few original creative artists like war. it is all about money, image, etc. these great musicians cant even use their own group name nowdays. new musicians have gone from being influenced by bands like war to just plain out ripping them off. ..sad state of music today.

Lee Oscar has got to be one of the best harp players ever, but he sure doesn't look like he's got a whole lotta rythym when he's dancing on stage. Reminds me of Steve Martin as Naven Johnson in "The Jerk"

@florange00, lol, those are Lee's signature moves. Wouldn't be the same if I didn't get to see him doing what he does in concert. Love the great Lee Oskar, as well as the rest of the original gentlemen of WAR . Peace.

An era when music knew no limits or prejudice. Watched this when it was first broadcast. I loved WAR and always kept an eye out when they would appear on television. I still have an audio cassette of their set from Don Kirshner's "Rock Concert".

Alot of good music has come and gone through the years, But I think that many would agree with me when I say that the 70s produced the BEST MUSIC of any decade. Bands like WAR, SANTANA, THE ISLEY BROS.,THE MOTOWN SOUND, AND ALL THE OLD SCHOOL FUNK, topped the charts. They just dont make good music like that anymore.

@PhuckHue2 , I'm not seeing what you're seeing. Looks like their lips are in sync with the music to me. As for the dancing, people dance on beat, off beat, all over the place. Not sure how you can tell it's not in sync by that. Peace.
