You don't know what you're talkin' 'bout.
This IS War...or at least the the Music Band version of the group (circa '79). Lonnie Jordan on keys, Papa Dee Allen on percussion, Harold Brown on drums, Lee Oskar on harmonica, and Howard Scott on guitar. Luther Rabb had just replaced BB Dickerson on bass and Pat Rizzo had just replaced Charles Miller on sax. Ron Hammon came on board as a second drummer.
There's a few gung-ho WAR experts on this thread...and I'm one of 'em.

@surfbeat64 Amateur recording? Probably, BUT...the folks at Avenue Records/Far Out Productions will do anything to make a buck. There's definitely better footage out there, it's just a matter of digging it up. Any SERIOUS War fan, though, knows that these guys are top-notch musicians. Even with the crappy quality seen and heard here, their musicianship CLEARLY stands out.

@Tessyrella The main chords are Dm7 and Ebaj7. Of course, you could spice things up by going with a Dm9 to Ebmaj9. On the chorus, if memory serves me correctly, their going from Dm to Cmaj and then Gm to Fmaj. I don't have an instrument in front of me right now, so I'm totally sure, but that sounds right.

Why are all these uploads in this low shitty 240p quality? The live sound recording in those days already left something to be desired. Now with these low resolution uploads were double screwed. But nice choice of upload nevertheless. But some high Def would be nice, especially when you rip it from a DVD.

@Moreasy Believe me, if it could be any better, it would. Even thought it's from a "professional" DVD, it's definitely a bootleg product. The video quality of the DVD isn't much better than what it is here. There is better footage out there, but this was all about Avenue Records & Jerry Goldstein making a quick buck.
