The movie titled "Standing In The Shadow of Motown", showcases this group and needs to been seen by all. Out of the original 13 members, there are only 2 still alive to this day. I was fortunate to see and tape them a few times. Along with obtaining a series of live recordings that have been sitting around waiting for the day that I get motivated and make them ready for more people can hear. This is going to be the start of a run of Funk Brothers recordings that I'm pretty excited to finally get put into circulation. I figured I'd start in chronological order. This date is the earliest one I have (i think...) and a typical long set. There are others that I prefer instead of this one, but I'll talk more about that later. If you have any knowledge of who this group represents and how influential they have been to the music business, then my later releases are going to be even more exciting. At the time of these concerts there were 5 original members in the band. You'll notice that one of my favorite guest singers was asked to join in during this tour, Joan Osborne. This is a really good audio feed, so it's well worth a listen. I think I have all the stage members correctly named for this show, though it does change up a little as the tour progresses. On a side note, there has been a chopped up version of this with commentary added in. What I have here is the complete unedited version.
