A live Soul Train performance



http://www.youtube.com/wa...g8n76liv4Y

I love those early 70s Soul Train performances I remember watching this stuff back then!

Great pic. I can't stress how much I love The Isley's. Especially from this period. Ernie was waving his Hendrix's Freak Flag high! I fucking adore the Isley's. The cut Live It Up, I think is underrated. It's never gotten that much love from Isley fans. I think it's one of their best cuts. Lyrically and musically. It was a very important statement when it first came out.

That's more like it!!!

Thanks for that. The Isleys were some cool mothafuckas!

The whole album is a masterpiece. Blues rock gems "Lover's Eve" and "Ain't I Been Good to Ya" the funky funky "Midnight Sky",



Acoustic folk-funk "Brown Eyed Girl" and a cover of Todd Rundgren's "Hello, It's Me". Man I loved this album

"Live It Up" is one of my favorites from them. That one and "Livin' In The Life".

blackguitaristz said:

You think so? "Live It Up" is essential Isleys material according to this fan.

PFunkjazz said:

Man PLEASE don't get me started on "Aint I been Good To Ya". I wrote a thread on this song on this site a long ass time ago. I've loved this album since I was 9, 10 years old. I think I've championed Eddie Hazel and Ernie on here more than anybody. And Ernie's palying is simply KILLIN' on this album.

Speak the truth Black!!!

Don't be startin' nothin you can't finish, bruh

PFunkjazz said:

Oh, I can FINISH it, player. Trust me. Paligap himself will tell ya, I'm the disciple on guitar under Hazel and Isley. He said I was them blended together. Besides that, my love for these two run hella deep. And on a cosmic note, these two cats have the same first names of my dad's group "Eddie and Ernie". My dad being Eddie Campbell. Pali had picked that up as well. Also check out Ernie on the crazy underrated "Under The Influence" on their "The Real Deal" album.

Ah man....there it is. Right on, player. Thanx for that.

blackguitaristz said:

Oh and my dad in the first shot is the one who's standing up. On the middle shot my dad's on the right and in the last shot, he's on the left with the Afro.

Yeah that soul train performance is the shit man.
I also love midnight sky from the live it up album too.

Wow!

As always.....

Oh, yeah, and keep rippin it, BGZ!!


Much as I like their performances on that episode I hate the fact that they kept Ernie's guitar turned down for the entire show!

I wondered whether the show's producers were scared of guitars,

Cooool! You've mentioned them before, and I'd seen the album cover but no candids. Nice. Came across some tunes on youtube, too! Good ones.

Thanx...just type in "Eddie and Ernie" and all kinds of sites will pop up with different tracks. Type in "Lost Friends", that's a compiliation and ther u can hear some of the tracks. My dad has one that somebody from England put up on youtube called "Bullets Don't Have Eyes". That's my dad when he was a solo artist, after Eddie and Ernie. If u type in Eddie Campbell on youtube, that song will come up.

blackguitaristz said:

Actually, Bullets Don't Have Eyes was the first one I came across.

I REALLY like this song, in fact I've become quite addicted to it!

^^^^ that one
