Bernie Worrell brought his Orchestra through Kentucky recently and basically burned the house down. He added several songs to his normal setlist, including opening the set with Talking Heads‘ Burning Down The House and encoring with a jammed out impromptu version of Bob Marley‘s Stir It Up, before closing with The Beatles‘ Come Together. He was also joined by P-Funk Allstars alumni Rico Lewis on second drum kit for most of the evening. You could tell that Bernie was particularly inspired this night, which isn’t necessarily always the case.

The real highlight, though, is video 3 of 5 below, where Bernie started teasing That’s All by Genesis. But he didn’t stop with a tease, and the whole band joined him for a 10 minute jam. Check it out at the 7 minute mark, Bernie gets possessed! (Apologies that part 3 is lower quality, shot with my iPhone because it was faster to get going than the full video camera rig which was turned off and had the lens cap on. Little did I know that the tease would turn into a full on jam.)
