[thomasbridges]

Yes there missed wow 2023 yup i am still into them sorry most of them are no longer with us and this was a great show

[charlesbrazell]

For some reason I like this version of StellarFungk better than the original(from the lp, The Concept[1978])-Mark Adams(bassist)was playing some nice runs, here and there, throughout that tune-him and Louis Johnson were my favorite bassists back then; they both had their own unique sound(it was the standard back then-expected of you-not like today).

Also-WTF happened to our music? "They" killed the funk(don't you know who I mean by "They" people?), and as good as Danny Webster(playing lead guitar solo on this video)is(and was), I believe that it was Mark "Drac" Hicks who played the original part/guitar solo; he was my favorite guitarist back then also(anybody remember "Volcano Rupture"?)-even over Mike(Kidd Funkadelic)Hampton-and Mike Hampton was a bad 'you-know-what' on guitar back then himself.

P.S.: Truth be told, I never knew if it was just Drac who played the whole time on "Volcano Rupture", or did Danny also take a solo turn on that tune; perhaps somebody "in the know" will enlighten me-and other fans of this great group from back in the day, regarding this matter. 1-28-22.

1 great song jam on play the instruments wow

[Basskat]

Yes indeed, these Kats through the fuck down on this piece. Well done, super funky. Danny sounds similar to P- Funk Guitarist Black Byrd McKnight. Danny love your effects on that Solo my brother. Everybody was glued. Who is the Bass Player now ? Really good Band.

man i wish they come to the Howard Theater D.C.

BLACK ROCK

A list of those artists who pioneered and/or continued to evolve the genre, starting in the 1950s, and continued this trend into the 1990s-and even beyond, I suppose(this is a 'by the way' commentary that I thought would be apropos to this section of replies and thoughts that are stated w/respect to the subject matter of the group Slave performing their classic tune, "StellarFungk").

IKE AND TINA TURNER(for I am told they made the first "rock and roll" record back in the 1950s, and have continued, along with their white counterparts, to evolve the genre in their own way, throughout the 1960s and 70s, though like all of their Black peers in the music industry, they never were accepted in the "mainstream", through being given airplay, on white rock stations. Also-they[Mr. and Mrs. Turner]were never given, at that same time, airplay on mainstream Black stations either, but their involvement with Rock music, throughout the 1960s and 70s, is well documented on both video and audio recordings).

EARTH, WIND AND FIRE(Yes, the biggest Black group of the 70's experimented once or twice with rock-and was successful in one case, if I remember right-and thus, they qualify to be among those who contributed to rock music made by Blacks).


This, for the most part, is a list of the great body of Black artists(there are others for sure, who are to be included in the above list, but due to my present lack of recall, or simply not even being aware of certain artists, I cannot remember-or state them all), most of whom were or are, known for being MAINSTREAM R&B ARTISTS who, at the same time, from the time of the late 1960s onward, along with their white counterparts, began to make inroads into, though NONE of the above, save for JIMI HENDRIX, and maybe the group known as LIVING COLOUR, were ever included into, the mainstream of the genre known as "progressive rock" or "rock music", the way most American and European white artists were, starting from the time of the mid to late 1960s, until this very day.

Again, as with my other articles titled, "THE FUNK', and "AND NOW A BRIEF HISTORY OF HOW THE FUNK CAME TO BE DESTROYED", which also, was posted on this "comment" section, I hope someone will be enlightened as to the often overlooked accomplishments of Black Americans on so many levels, and in so many fields; the genre of rock music being no exception...

P.S.: The powers that be at Youtube prevented me from posting this at first-and also would not allow me to center the title of this article, which is titled, Black Rock, but apparently have at the last, decided that I would be allowed to do so(which is post this article), and so, just thought you who see this would be interested in knowing this...

P.S. #2: Although it has been stated as being so, I'm not so sure that the group SLY AND THE FAMILY STONE would really qualify as a "Rock" group, although they played at Woodstock(the classic rock concert of 1969); their music, I was a fan of, like so many others, but in the final analysis, I believe SLY AND THE FAMILY STONE were an excellent and trend-setting R&B group, but did not contribute substantially to the genre known as Rock music. For those of you who differ, that is your opinion; by the same token I have merely stated mine. 2-(9, 10, 12 and 16)-22; amended 3-19-25.
