Old news, sis
I saw them live last July... they kinda sucked, or well, don't get me wrong, the band is aight, but Sly was off his game. It was like watching a better than competent tribute band perform. The worst part is, I saw a clip on Youtube from a performance he did in Paris just a couple of days after the one I saw here in Finland and Sly was in 1000x better shape confused
It is not known why FuNkeNsteiN capitalizes his name as he does, though some speculate sunlight deficiency caused by the most pimpified white guy afro in Nordic history.

That video was very cool, thanks for posting. Sly & the band sounded really great considering his poor health.

I'm not really up on what is going on exactly with Sly's health or anything but just from what I know of him....I know he's had problems with drugs in the past for many years and he obviously has problems with his back/spine of some sort because he's really hunched over. And I've seen a few other clips of him performing in recent years and he just doesn't look healthy at all, physically and at times mentally. But I really don't know, those are just my observations.

Man, I love Sly. But he's turned into a walking Just Say No campaign, if I've ever seen one...

Bless his heart.

disbelief

But, dang, he still sings wonderfully.

I saw Sly back in July.It was an odd performance.The band came out without him,performed several songs then midway thru,Sly came out and played for less than 15 minutes!! neutral He made a joke about having to leave early "because the cops are after me" nuts

I will say this though: the band kicked ass!! They sounded really energized.
