The London date is in a couple of days so it might just go ahead, depending on what they will decide in terms of air traffic regulations. I assume some authority will keep those people posted who have bought a ticket for any possible refunds. It's all worked out ok here in Finland. [Edited 4/22/10 14:26pm] Oh dear. Hope he comes back around your way sometime soon. Still hoping for London, but it's not looking great is it? | |

Also, there is the relatively recent Larry Graham & Graham Central Station Anthology, which is all remastered with extensive liner notes. The first disc in particular, I think, will be of interest to you. You may have heard some of this material live with Prince, but listening in its original context I think, is quite different. Anyway, it's worth going just to hear Larry's bass soloing. Incredible. I have this from them.. 
And I STILL cherish it since the day I bought it  Brilliant set isn't it? Nice remastering and liner notes as well. | |

[Edited 4/22/10 14:26pm] It's all Larry's fault anyway. He caused that volcano to erupt fully with his bass. It was simmering nicely before he arrived in Europe. Funk is its own reward. | |

Tickets for the London gig are still on sale so I think one can assume its still on. At least for now. All of my hang-ups have gone. How I wish you felt the same. | |

Yeah, and little did he realise that not even the funkiest bunch can penetrate an ash cloud as thick and funky such as this one! | |

Typical that Finland got left out. We don't really experience anything connected with big natural disasters up here, but when we do apparently it has to coincide with a GCS concert! 
Ok, so would London be so kind and tell the rest of us how funky good time you were having and what was happening, please?  | |

GCS played an array of songs. I forget them all but they included 'Hair', 'People', 'Feel the Need', 'I can't stand the Rain', 'It's Alright', 'Dance to the Music', 'Family Affair', 'If You Want Me to Stay', 'Thanku4lettinmebmiceself', 'I want to take U higher', 'Earthquake/Imaggettin'.
Brilliant atmosphere. One of my favourite concerts. Here are some clips, but of course, they can't really do it justice: KOKO, London: http://www.youtube.com/wa...uB4K-Jpqr4 http://www.youtube.com/wa...7-aKau_NVQ Funk is its own reward. | |
