At
11:10pm, P.M. and the New Breed started the funk with some....."Here Comes
the Funk", a long song with some outstanding rhythm guitaring by P.M., a slice
of baritone sax heaven by Elliott Levin, and a smolderin', red-hot bass solo by
Koot (it shook the foundation of the Grape Street Pub)!!! The drumming
(provided by the drummer for a Philly band called Deep Pocket.......not the
DEEP POCKET featuring Clayton Harding from the NYC area!) were okay, but not as
funky because Andre Adams did not arrive yet......he showed up for the second
song, "Groovalicious".
"Groovalicious"
was groovin' in the funk pocket with Andre making a more aggressive attack on
the drums! Percussionist Dora Eaton provided the sexy vocals for the delicious
funk!!
"Waitin' on You" was where the bass pluckin' phool Koot cut loose
with megaton bass riffs for dat ass!! Lead guitar rock madness was provided by
P.M.!! "All You Really Need" featured the sexy horniness of
trumpeteer Eric Bigelow and saxophonist Elliott! "You Are My
Sunshine" featured a chorus that was more hardcore rock, thanks to the
nastiness of P.M. and Koot!!! "We Will Rock You" was a funky cover to
the Queen classic, featuring Maceo Parker's chant "Shake Everything You
Got" and the guitar psychedelia of Jimi Hendrix's "Third Stone From
the Sun"!! The show was over at 11:50pm.
