the first Randy Rhoads memorial concert at the Hollywood Palace was a total lip gloss hair farmer camel toe sausage festival.
i couldn’t pretend to remember the first several bands that played but think really crappy Warrant/Crue wannabees in front of a sea of completely unimpressed LA arm folders. my highlight was shoulder checking the fringy blue suede suited/black sombrero’ed don dokken as he tried to star swagger by me at the bar
about to write off the gig as a wash when up steps this guy and tears the friggin roof off. the whole joint is going off and the evening is saved.
lesson learned.

Thanks a lot for posting this incredible performance ! OMG, what a deep groove !! I hadn't realized Ray Parker Jr was such a genius guitarist... I thought he was just the Ghostbuster one hit wonder... I didn't even know he played guitar... After listening to the video, I looked around and discovered he played and composed with Stevie Wonder (Talking Book), Herbie Hancock (Doin' It), Marvin Gaye (I Want You) etc. All records I know like the back of my hand... Somehow I entirely missed him when looking at the credits... Discovery of the year for me ! Many thanks ! Gonna look into it much further !

I love funk! I was gonna post a few more Rufus w/ Chaka Khan clips featuring Tony Maiden on guitar, then I got to thinking.
It's no secret what a huge Robin Trower fan I am/ was. I lost count how many times I saw the band live.
In 1976-78 Trower added funk bassist Rustee Allen on bass. Rustee had previously played with Bill Lordan (Trower's drummer) in Sly and the Family Stone.
I had seen Trower sell-out MSG, NY in 3/76. A few months later, at Shea Stadium.
In late '76 we saw the first show with new bassist Rustee. He proceeded to turn every Trower tune into a funk-fest. He absolutely transformed all those tunes. You can hear him on the Long Misty Days and In City Dreams albums, as well as a LIVE King Bisquit album.
Check out his bass playing in this, as well as his solo.

Phaser pedals.
Weird seeing all this guitar talk in a funk thread. I'm a bassist. Funk is in my wheelhouse. Yall are just noise. I move the booty.

I immediately get nauseous when I hear the words “worship team”. So cheesy.
