      Hello have you the live version of "Strange groove" from World Party? It is about 10 minutes long and not to find in a good vid here on youtube and elsewhere too!! ? Would be nice to see it here.

      My best friends and I saw them, and of course him, in Nashville somewhere between the mid and late 1990s. A nice bar with a great stage for bands like World Party to perform. Performance was just like this video, which astounded us. We were all lovers of Karl and World Party. This is my favorite all-time song of World Party!

    Was remodeling my 1st house when this song was big. Loved it. I wasn't even sure who the band was haha. I just loved the song. Then my wife and I went to a John Cougar concert in Cincinnati, and I went down to buy a couple beers and I hear this song. I look left, I look right.. I'm like what the heck! LOL got my beers and ran up to the concourse. World Party was the warmup. That was great.

      Very likely not. I'd guess mimed to a non-album mix. First UK dates weren't until May 93. I doubt the band sounded like that by the end of March. By August / September after UK, European and US tours - a very different story.
