Same here.I love the 80s Kool and The Gang.People always insist that they "sold out" during this period (whatever that means),but I enjoy songs like "Get Down On It","Misled","Joanna","Tonight" and most of their other 80s singles.James "JT" Taylor was their best lead singer. People probaly said that because of their croosover in pop. Joanna , Misled sould more like a pop song than r&b. But the style of music especially r&b changed in the 80s. Funk music was almost dead in the 80s. | |

i loved the second disc
just hearing them do sea of tranquility was worth the price alone like i said b4 there's some insight 2 the jt years and their strategy after watching it, these dudes were very very smart some might call them sell-outs heck i even did (yep i'm a summer madness kinda guy) plus,i grew up in cleveland...i hate celebration with a PASSION (clevelander's will know what i am talking about) minor keys and drugs don't make a rollerskate jam | |

That being said, I still prefer their pre-JT era. 
The Cafe Wha thing has me really interested in getting this DVD now. Thanks for the info.

I'm one of those snobs that prefers their pre-JT albums. Get Down on It is a good tune, and probably the best of their 80s work. I can like most of their big hits. The only one I can't stomach is Celebration. That shit is unlistenable.
