The Funky Meters – 4th of July in Louisville, Kentucky (VIDEO)

The Funky Meters were the featured performers at Louisville’s free annual Waterfront Independence Festival. Although they started over an hour late due to “technical difficulties,” it gave them the chance to play right through the fireworks display. It was quite an experience to see the fireworks display over the Ohio river while The Funky Meters ripped through Jimi Hendrix’s version of the Star Spangled Banner!

This featured video is a 26 minute edit of the set’s highlights, including the opening Cissy Strut, Chug-A-Lug, Africa, Doodle Oop (one of my favorite Meter’s tunes), The Star Spangled Banner, Fire On The Bayou, Just Kissed My Baby, and a blistering impromptu version of Jim Hendrix’s Purple Haze! Oh, and there are some fireworks on the video too…

I have to thank CMescia for sharing his audio recording (made with neumann mics) for this project. And i’d like to assure everyone that I will eventually get the full show posted as a DVD at thetradersden.org. For now, the full audio is available to download here: http://bt.etree.org/details.php?id=546918.

Finally, a shout-out to Rex-A-Vision who couldn’t make it out this night. I guess he just had too much fun at the Electric Forest festival the day before…

RandyB’s Organized Noize Compilation Version 2.0 (Outkast, Goodie Mob, Dungeon Family, Sleepy Brown, Cee-Lo, etc.)

I’m about to go see Big Boi rock Waterfront Park in my hometown of Louisville, KY I’m celebrating because Outkast will be playing in my hometown of Louisville, KY this summer, OUTKAST TONIGHT AT FORECASTLE, LOUISVILLE, KY! So I thought I would drop this compilation on the people. This was originally an 80 minute CDR compilation that I made for close friends back in like 2006. Then in 2010 I updated and expanded it. Now it’s mp3’d, tagged, and fully iPod/iPhone ready.

Herbie Hancock & The Headhunters 1998 Reunion – Tip Toe

Herbie Hancock & The Headhunters 10/2/98 Tip Toe (Through The Ghetto)

While I’m on the Headhunters kick, check out this tune. Y’all know Paul Jackson, The Black Octopus, right? This is from the 1998 Herbie Hancock & The Headhunters reunion tour. A soundboard recording from a festival in Gainesville, FL, remastered by TheTooleMan. (full recording available to download here: http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=364160.

P.S. If you missed the 1974 Headhunters DVD & youtube clips I posted a few months ago: http://funkit.virose.net/?p=43.

P.S.S. Did you know that Mike Clark & Paul Jackson made an instructional VHS tape called “Rhythm Combination” in 1992? I think it was a Japanese only release. Parts of it are on youtube:
