Another track that was pulled straight from the live performance. I mean, watch this. You'll see why.

Loading... You don't have to do no soloing, brother, just keep what you got... Don't turn it loose, 'cause it's a mother. - James Brown to Clyde Stubblefield
Some drummers are all pyrotechnics. Some are all power. Others are rock-solid consistent. Not many could play one little twenty second break immersed in a ten-minute impromptu vamp and make an irresistible, booty-shakin' force that changes the landscape of music forever. There are probably more people in the world today who have – whether they realize it or not – heard a Clyde Stubblefield break or vamp than people who haven't. The Funky Drummer laid the rhythmic foundation of five decades and counting of the most popular music the world has ever known.
Bonus: Clyde and Jabo solo, together.

Here's an AMAZING cut of this track that is still available for some reason. Seriously funky stuff here with an spectacular performance from everyone involved. I would die (figuratively) to have been able to see this tour.

(Liiiitle bit NSFW due to, err... "suggestive" dancing and some pretty skimpy costumes)
