It sounds like the group as of today trying 2 play the hits from the 1970's. A waste of money.

I gotta admit, as great as they were from '77 to '84, the wheels really came off in the years after that...Arrington left to do his thing, Steve Washington, Curt Jones and Starlena Young left to form Aurra, lead Guitarist Marc "Drac" Hicks and Bassist Mark Adams left, came back, left, etc ....
they've never been the same since...not even close....

Yeah you have to be careful when you buy some of these greatist hits cd's

the songs using a cheap drum track and completely F#$@ up the original songs.

I LOVE SLAVE!

Intro (usually as the first song), or Party Lites (as first song) are regulars anytime I get a chance to spin.

No doubt.....and they even had the nerve 2 leave Stellar Funk off of the set.

Pali, u did it again. I am from Dayton, Ohio and I never heard that version of SnapShot!

And to think a quote from that song is in my signature!!

Pali...

Absolute Slave JUNKIE here....that version of Snap Shot was new on me, too though.....
