Was watching Woodstock over the weekend - have you seen the Sly performance? I.N.C.R.E.D.I.B.L.E
ReplyDeleteIt's only one song 'Higher', but stick with it until the mid-song monologue, and then watch as the second half explodes (at 7:20)with some of the funkiest horn riffing and stage frugging you've ever heard and seen..
The Santana clip Soul Sacrifice which leads into 'Higher' is well worth a peep too
we love sly. love him love him love him.
