It's a pity that the sound is distorted but well worth looking at. BTW: That girl with L.G. is amazing and a real woman as well. She can sing so straight and do those songs justice. Who is she ? Is she now a permanant fixture in Graham Central Station ?

@lance007lance they call her Biscuit (i'm guessing that's not what her mama named her). ;-) and yes, she's been a regular member of the band for at least this recent tour.

@extplay , thanks for letting me know. She is visually great and sounds great. Even though this clip is distorted somewhat it's great . Thanks for the upload.

@lance007lance yeah, i'm bummed about the distortion, too. since that gig, i've gotten to know the camera better and adjust the audio properly. wish i had it together for Larry's show, but que sera. as Brother Graham once said, "you got to go through it to get to it." if you turn down the volume on the clip, it almost makes it bearable. thanks for coming by to check out the video.

Larry.. always a bad ass, but class act saw him in the 70's at the Taft in Cincinnati opening for Weather Report or Herbie Hancock(the mind drifts????) and they kicked total ass. Even did a few Shrove Tuesday style walks through the isles. LG can lay it down. I liked his songs better than the SFS stuff.

The guy on the left looks Larry Graham's son, woww! Hey I still enjoyed this even with the audio difficulty...I'm so familiar with the music I just lowered the volume and enjoyed it still.

Thx 4 sharing this....My jam at 1:30 always love Sly Stone, Larry Graham one of the baddest bassist in the game.

It's a cool video and all, but WTF is the point when the sound is so fucked up? It's just frustrating.

PEACE

@testaferro You ain't lyin'. LOL

[testaferro]

@Mistuhbig It's distorted because a simple camera cannot handle the awesomeness that is Larry's sound!

[Mistuhbig]

Damn. I wish this wasn't distorted.
