Bootsy Collins - Stretchin' Out

This is performance by funk bass player Bootsy Collins from the television show "Night Music", a late night show that showcased performers and featured live performances.
The song Stretchin' Out was released in 1976 by Bootsy's band "Bootsy's Rubber Band", a funk band that was formed after Bootsy stopped touring and recording with James Brown. The song's full title is "Stretchin' Out (In a Rubber Band)".
It's a great performance, and it seems a little unrehearsed in the good way. It's a jam, and every performer gets a slot to strut their stuff, the sax, the guitar and the bass of course. A great performance from a time where live music actually had a decent slot in television.
(I know it's not exactly rock or blues, but funk is somewhat a descendent from the blues genre. I mean all those funky chords on the guitar were first played in blues and jazz songs, funk just sped it up, added a whole lot more wah and made it more funky). And besides, you should be able to enjoy this, or you've got no good music taste what so ever!

Enjoy ; )

Eric Clapton & Robert Cray - Befor You Accuse Me

This is a performance from the American TV-show "Nightmusic", a TV-show that had live music and exposed both new and unknown talent. It had a wide variety of acts, from blues and rock acts like Stevie Ray Vaughan, Eric Clapton, Robert Cray to classic music in the form of the Kronos Quartet.
This is a performance by Clapton also featuring Robert Cray, they both do a solo. The song was originally done by rock legend Bo Diddley, but has been covered in two different versions by Clapton. He had an acoustic version of the song on his 1992 unplugged album. He has also done electric versions both live and in the studio. It's a great performance, and both Clapton and Cray play really good on the song.

Enjoy ; )
