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:

Herbie Hancock & The Headhunters – Palm Grease
November 1974 – Bremen, Germany @ Musikladen


Herbie Hancock & The Headhunters – Sly
November 1974 – Bremen, Germany @ Musikladen

I think these videos speak for themselves. This is from a recent rebroadcast on Japanese TV and appears to be virtually uncirculated (until I got my hands on it!). IMO, the best back up for a rare recording is wide circulation and copies everywhere. As such, the entire 66 minute DVD is available for download: http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=341866

I mean, just look at drummer Mike Clark’s shirt. That’s funky!
