Heard this on an intro of "Everybody Hates Chris" and fell in love with the band all over again he he....FREE Ron Isley ASAP

One of their baddest jams.

Ron's been released lol

A great song from their best album 'Go For Your Guns'.

I can't decide if "Go All The Way" or "Grand Slam" is my favorite album of their's.

Damn I'm glad 2 hear it 'cause I didn't know that. Do u know when he got out and if his health is better?

A classic through and through

Yeah the cut him "some" slack and released in Oct. though he wasn't suppose to be released until April '10. I haven't heard anything about how is doing health wise.

This is the jam... I blow out some speakers playing this album back in the day.

I think 'Go All The Way' is my second favorite album by them.

A definite crowd pleaser.

I'm pissed because 'Go For Your Guns' is one of the few Isley Brothers albums that hasn't been remastered yet ('Winner Takes All' is the other one) All of their other classic albums from the 70s and early 80s have been remastered.

What's up with that??

hell yeah I wanna read some detailed liner notes or watch some live footage from that era. Anyone know from which show did the album cover and inner sleeve photos come from?

I can remember seeing video back then.....so I KNOW it exists. Those shows were legendarily incendiary affairs....the kind of funk throwdowns we'd KILL to see today. Anyone with info on said video.....help us out....

JamFanHot said:

Cool,thanks for the info.

JamFanHot said:

You saw video of the Isleys'back in the day,you mean live footage?Iread somewhere Ronald Isley said that none of their concerts of the seventies weren't filmed.I feel it in my bones that some of their shows were videotaped.Maybe the record company or anybody that taped their concerts have them in the vaults that maybe one day will be released.Peace!

Yep. It was a FRUSTRATINGLY brief clip. You prolly know the feeling.....there was smoke & dancing & Earnie was closest to the camera wailin on it....but only got to see like 10 seconds of it (it was being used for a news story), then it was gone.....I was like "NOOOOO ....that was AWESOME...I want MORRRRRE!"...Never seen anything from them in that era since.

Not exactly the venue we would prolly all prefer....but THIS is VERY close to what they were like live @ that time.
