At
11:50pm, Bernie Worrell & the WOO Warriors started with a super-hardcore
funk-rock tour-de-force with TM Stevens (guest bassist) ripping up the air with
some stank-ass bass riffs! Bernie Worrell came just in time to thin out the
thick funk with some spicy synthesizer riffs!! "WOO Together" was
mostly a long instrumental with Bernie singing a little of the chorus lines.
Bernie played the oddities "London Bridge" and "My Country Tis O
Thee". John Hickey played some of the funkiest rhythm guitar riffs! Once
again, TM broke it down on the bass, stinking up Rex's with ease, and Gary
Sullivan tore a big hole in Gay Street (outside) with his seismic
drumming......totally LETHAL!! Gregg "Dr. Seuss" Fitz provided some
of the best vocals as he instructed the fans what to do!
"Gamin' on Ya" had a false start but got on the way after Bernie did
a classical tune on synthesizers! The fans were totally feeling this funky
treat. "Super Stupid" was the absolute bomb with John Hickey slaying
the fiery guitar--the only problem was that his mic was not turned up in the
beginning! (TM and I were talking about the WOO doing that song, too!) After a
bit of sound system glitches were resolved, the band warmed up to doing
"Red Hot Momma"......"Red Hot Momma" was a scorching tune
with some cookin' bass, sizzling guitar and marinating keyboards!!
Unfortunately, I had to leave early at 1:00am....but I heard from TM that
"Cosmic Slop" was long and TOO HARDCORE-FUNKY FOR WORDS!!!!
