      @@sonofapollo5892 1970 was a post-Woodstock mess in a lot of ways, but at least we had music like Sly's to keep a lot of us together. But we still had to put up with Nixon, Vietnam, Watergate, the persecution of the Huey Newton, Bobby Seale, Eldridge Cleaver and even Sly was targeted for drug use by the Feds.
      No matter who's in power, it's a mess.

      gladbeast I saw the band five times, three times at Madison Square Garden, once at Radio City Music Hall, and once at what is now the venue for the US Open. Even saw the infamous yet funny Dick Cavett performance live on television. SLY was HIGH but I was so young I didn't know. Imagine 20,000 people dancing with the band performing. The calls for an encore were staggeringly LOUD when the band finished a set. The first two Madison Square Garden shows were vintage. The third Madison Square Garden show I saw, the wedding show to future Bride of Finkelstein Kathy or Dawn Silva, was okay. The latter two shows mentioned were by comparison sparsely attended and Larry Graham was gone. He was significant to the live shows. Makes sense. He played bass and the bass drove the groove. Gregg Errico played drums. He was gone, too, and their replacements no doubt were among the best musicians available, but Larry and Gregg, original band members and present in this video, were H of F material. The groove was so great a buried corpse would tap its foot against the side of the casket.

    I'll be 59 this year. I've seen and heard many things in my life and I can tell you that the 1960's into the 1970's was a magical time. Sly and The Family Stone is the bridge that connected the best of the Black people with the White people and all people. You see, Sly really believed it man. Yes, growing up in Philly created a lot of challenges between the Races but here's the thing; we of the White persuasion where getting turned on and tuned in to FUNK.
    Man there was plenty of input. James Brown, Motown, Earth Wind & Fire. And then there is Sly and The Family Stone. Good God, what an amazing group of musicians. My fav was Larry Graham. That dude gave us all Slap and Pop Bass. It was a different time. Not necessarily better but many of us were trying to find our way. We had freedom in our Souls. We had compassion for others. We could throw a ball at telephone wires and invent a game.
    We had boundless imagination. We were wide open in our minds, our hearts and our Souls. This music is the playlist of our generation. Oh man if only young people today could've lived back then. Society can make you or break you. Those voices from the past, listen to them. Take it all in. No matter how bad things are and no matter how fucked up the media makes things appear, we only have each other. If you come across a broken soul. White, Black, Latino...it does not matter. You offer your compassion. Pay it forward. The only way to defeat the evils in society is to bear your Soul! You have one. Feed it. Peace.

    It was a great time and Sly and the Family were the best! I was at primo disco age and what fun it was. Wow! Racism wasn't even a thought. Black and white on the stage and on the dance floor and in life. Sly was the best, his band was the best and his perspective was the best. Not to mention how totally cute and sexy he was! LOL!
