M*A*C*E*O

Just back from what was probably the best maceo gig i've ever been to...
Close to 3 hours of funk for what was supposed to be a "Jazz" festival!
The gig was sold out...And he ended with Pass the Peas and then Baby Knows... biggrin
Im off to bed now a happy man...

Good question daaahling....he did it in Paris last year. A question I would have is why does HE play it?? He didn't write it as far as I can see....on the album I think it's credited to Prince

Because he likes it maybe? He did 'Georgia On My Mind' too on Thursday in Cheltenham, he didn't write that either!

I think he played Baby Knows last time he was in Dublin too.

Goog gig, maybe a little staccato flow-wise as they were playing a jazz fest and had to tone down the funk a little. And you could knock off an hour of the gig if you subtract all the "Give it up for the band"s biggrin
