At
11:30pm, the Nappyhead Funk Army started the "funk-down" with some
"P-Funk (Wants to Get Funked Up)", featuring the heavy funk keyboards
of The Pearl! Prez, the other keyboardist, was on fire on "Funk Infection
Y2K+2"! "Fly on the Wall" was followed by "Gonna Get
Up", which featured some tight ass funk bass by The General!! The bass
funk continued into the next new song (which I don't know the title of), where
The Pearl gave it up on funk keyboards and Andre Lassalle provided the
heavy-duty, pyrotechnic lead giutar solo!! "Come Together" was
good--as was the guitar fire provided by Groovalicious on "Red Hot
Momma"! The Technician threw down on drums on "Tear the Roof Off The
Sucka"! "It's What I Do, It's What I Am" and "Jungle
Boogie" were as good as Red Hot's vocal spotlight, "Sexy MF/Nasty
Girl"! The leader/vocalist #9 tried to be slick by adding a different
nursery rhyme to the song "Let's Take It to The Stage".....it was
"Mary Had a Little Lamb"!!
Groovalicious smoked Calico Jack's with raw lead guitar power on the Eric-Jay
rap portion of "Bottoms Up".....the percussion work by Red Hot was
really good! Andre
soared like an eagle on lead guitar for the psychedelic rock epic, "Maggot
Brain"!!!
