Slave started out without Steve Arrington....I love Steve...he is a complete original ...I took his place on bad enuff album and did every song lead vocals on new plateau...what do you think of those albums Queen?
A great band with one of the funkiest bass players ever seen & heard on earth (R.I.P. Mr. Mark Adams)! Although the director will never win a Bass Player's Filmaker Award with not one close up to the bassist in this video...a lil' bit of sadness comes at the end...
Drac was doing a lot of those solos back in the day that people are giving Prince credit for. Like this solo on slide was done in 1976 prince was doing a lot of that shit in the early 80s so give Drac his props.
One of the ONLY live performances of the incredible Mark Hicks aka....DRAC!@ Also ....other albums recorded post Steve Arrington Slave: "Visions of the Light" Slave "Bad Enuff 1983 and Slave "New Plateau" 1984........I sang all lead vocals on New Plateau and shared with The incredible Danny Webster on Steppen out and In and Out and a duet on "share your love with Mr. Floyd Miller
@@raygu1818 Thank you Eyeballin very much. That was my first album with Slave! I co wrote Steppen out with the Fellas' ....it was recorded at 5'th floor studios in Cincinatti Ohio. That was a LOT of fun singing with Danny Webster. I took Steve Arringtons' place after the Visions of Light album.
Mr. Foote, there's not one single day day that goes by that I don't listen to something by SLAVE...I sincerely mean that! I have EVERYTHING that you guys have made...people tease me (well the youngsters)...but they don't know GREAT MUSIC nor REAL TALENT!!! Thank you for making such a musical impression on my life!!!
Hey Thank you so very much for your gracious comments! This was and remains an incredible adventure recording and touring with my heroes! 2 albums and incredible memories. @@GFXYORROB
Damn just Drac(Marc Hicks)? Wow. No Steve “Fearless leader” Washington Steve Arrington Curt Jones Starlena Young Floyd Miller Tom Lockett Carter Bradley Mark Adams(RIP) Danny Webster Tiny Dozier…if any of these members I mentioned are gone RIP.
The original group did a show in New york at the palladium during their Showtime album. Does anyone have that show on tape. Sorry watching that show and listening to any other so call Slave bands you would shake your head. Like posted below Their will never Be another funk Band like slave. Remember they started as young Teenagers. "You will heard us but will never see us"
Steve Arrington is not just slave Steve had 2 good / ok albums after slave but they were not funky as bad enuff new plateau unchained at last make believe after the hall of fame albums his albums crossed over went commercial and were weak having no funk at all
↑↑↑ ^^^ Y'all are full of shyt. I'm an avocational musician & sound engineer. It's rare that two vocalists sound identical. I don't know who this lead vocalist was, but he gave a VERY RESPECTABLE performance. Back-up vocalists were just "okay." They just needed a bit more rehearsal to work out their vocal parts & harmonies.
This is not Slave. This is a tribute band trying to call themselves Slave. Mark Adams, Mark Hicks and Danny Webster have all passed. Steve Arrington and Floyd Miller are doing their own thing. So I ask who’s in the band.
Us musicians cares, I noticed something about the energy, it was off. I am a bass player who cut his teeth on this music. These are talented musicians, but this isn't slave.@@RobMLyon
@@byronhall2200 I am as well 30 years of it doing tours as well as studio work. I suggest not taking things too. Seriously don’t worry about things that are perfect. That’s music, it’s not perfect. Take care.
@@RobMLyon Not taking things to serious, this just wasn't it. I do have a healthy respect for someone else's opinion, we all got em. I grew up around some incredible musicians, been playing bass since 73. This just wasn't the Slave I remember.
@@byronhall2200 I understand Byron, I would imagine their goal is to bring their a game, but unfortunately it can’t stay on top forever. I am a huge cameo fan and I’ve seen them incredible and I’ve seen them not so much. I have to say the band that was really blown me away, was Morris Day and the Time!! Always outstanding
Steve Arrington is not just slave Steve had 2 good / ok albums after slave but they were not funky as bad enuff new plateau unchained at last make believe after the hall of fame albums his albums crossed over went commercial and were weak having no funk at all

R.I.P.: Drac, Danny Webster, Mark Adams; Slave is an legendary metal Funk band
There will never be another Slave!!. But these guys are holdin' it down!!..
Yes,yes
There's no Slave without STEVE!!
You dont know slave. Slave is just more the Steve Arrington
Slave started out without Steve Arrington....I love Steve...he is a complete original ...I took his place on bad enuff album and did every song lead vocals on new plateau...what do you think of those albums Queen?
Slave was slave before stevie nice and raw. I like ste vie as well.
My best friend in Slave....DRAC aka Mark Hicks.....I miss you bro!@ Thank you for your incredible legacy! THANKS FOR THIS UPLOAD!!@@ YEAHHHH!@
The bass line of the song "Just A Touch Of Love" is the reason why I'm a bass player to this day. Mark Adams was a one-of-a-kind bass player.
Unfortunately, this performance is very polished at
all.
@@mybassistight Well there were two separate Slave camps at that time cause the other had Danny Webster and Mark Adams in it
Ooh and the group with Mark and Danny was also tighter too
Yeah, Drac screwed up the intro ‘Watching You’ . How do you go on stage and not have your gear ready for the first song.?
CAN'T WAIT . COMIN SOON .😅
A great band with one of the funkiest bass players ever seen & heard on earth (R.I.P. Mr. Mark Adams)! Although the director will never win a Bass Player's Filmaker Award with not one close up to the bassist in this video...a lil' bit of sadness comes at the end...
RIP My guitar Funkster MARK ADAMS DANNY WEBSTER MARK HICKS AND OTHERS RIP
"My big brothers' favorite band!❤
They started off with the roots of their inspiration "Cosmic Slop" by Parliament/Funkadelics. Long live "SLAVE"!!!!!
Weak At The Knees was a Steve Arrington hit after he left Slave. The fact that they're singing it is an homage to him.
Drac was doing a lot of those solos back in the day that people are giving Prince credit for. Like this solo on slide was done in 1976 prince was doing a lot of that shit in the early 80s so give Drac his props.
Basically this is really "The Mark Hicks Band"
Exactly
Love slave thank you for posting
outstanding ❤ Never get better!

I have the Bad Enuff album and it is an incredible album. Steppin Out and In And Out still sounds fresh today.

@nathanrogers4018 Yeah, let's just keep it honest and real. I'm old school and still listen to the originals; every time, it still feels the same!

Lock it down Steve Arlington 🎉
