A FUNK ABOVE THE REST RADIO NETWORK PRESENTS- SLAVE in concert for an exclusive one night performance! Featuring original bass man MARK ADAMS & original guitarist DRAC!
Tuesday August 3rd - Jazz@Jacks - The Denver Pavilions - Special Guest SOUL SCHOOL.
I wouldn't want to see them without Steve Arrington. Even though he didn't join with the group until their 1978 "The Concept" album, most of their most memorable hits were with him as lead vocal, and I don't see any mention of him in the lineup.

Steve Arrington will always be Slave even though he's doin gospel now, but you sayin you'd pass up a chance 2 see Drac on lead guitar and Mark Adams and his talking lead bass???

I wouldn't pass up the chance to see Drac and Mark if it were a free concert in the park, but I wouldn't purchase tickets to see Slave in concert without Steve Arrington.
They were at BB Kings in NYC a few years back and I actually went down to the club to purchase tickets, until I asked the guy in box office if Steve Arrington was in the lineup. First he hesitated, but when pressed; he admitted that he wasn't, I said "Thank You", and turned and walked away.

I truly can understan wanting to see Steve Arrington. But many groups these days have new members for a variety of reasons. Slave's new lead singer is on point and the band sounds just as good if not better than their former years. Mark Adams is still funky on the bass... You will miss a slammin show!!!

I'm sure it will be a thoroughly enjoyable show.

And at least the new singer will be in tune, unlike whiney Steve Arrington.
I'd pay the $40.00 just to see BassDog play live alone....If yer in Denver....I recommend turnin out for this one.
Yes BassDog is still spankin'. I did an interview with him a month ago. He told the whole story of how Slave hit the big time with their huge hit from 1977 SLIDE. Just teenagers, recorded the song live in the studio one day - next thing they know - HUGE HIT! Mark has new solo material that will be out soon. I was priviledged to hear some of the tracks! Funk is alive and well!

Cool ! Did you publish that interview somewhere online or in a magazine ? Interesting to hear/read that.
Posted another interview sometime on the Org :
Drac & Mark explain and give some good advise about the entertainment-business

I can understand that his voice is not up your street, but imo that's one of the ingredients which added to the recognisable Slave-sound.
