At
11:00pm, Rev. Right Time and his funky bunch, The 1st Cuzins of Funk, started
their stankified set with a funky intro, followed by Stevie Wonder's
"Superstition".......it featured a hellified lead guitar solo, some
tight horns and a pulsating, funky bass solo (which was provided by former
Enemy Squad bassist, Kerry "KC" Clark)!!! The lead guitarist even
threw in some of Jimi Hendrix's "Voodoo Chile (Slight Return)"!! The
next song, I think it's called "Superfly", was FONKAY (with a capital
"FUNK").....the wah-wah guitarisms were as slammin' as the lead
vocals of K.C. and Rev. Right Time!! (K.C. had some great high-pitched backing
vocals!) Next was War's "Low Rider"......it featured a thumpin' bass
intro, but I could have done without all of the DJ scratching! The next song
featured a good keyboard solo and a vocal sample from James Brown's "Funky
Drummer". The JB classic "Sex Machine" benefited from some funky
scratch guitarisms while "Papa was a Rolling Stone" featured s'mo funky
wah-wah guitarisms and funky falsetto vocalizing by K.C.!! (K.C., do your funky
thang, Mr. Funky Bass Player!!!) On the minus side, "Pick Up the
Pieces" suffered from some weak horns.......c'mon, blow fellas! Following
that was a funk-rock-de-force song that featured some super heavy bass licking
by K.C.!! The funk party didn't end until 12:15am.
