check out the new concert listings HERE.įor their March 9th show at De Roma in Antwerp, Belgium, Larry Graham & GCS will be joined on stage by special guest N8N, a hip young “new school” artist with a funky “old school” vibe. Some of the concerts in Gemany next moth have chaged venues. Initial Tour dates posted for US and EuropeĨ-26-2013 Larry and Prince play NYC all night last night. Y'all need to get out and enjoy the funk LIVE by Larry & his band today!!!! There is simply no need to deprive yourself of this original icon of funk & bass.Ĭheck out the auction on Ebay for Larry's Harley. Also in the audience next to me was world famous drummer Dennis Chambers (currently w/Carlos Santana 10yrs). I saw fans walk in, but they certainly limped out with acute whiplash after rubber necking the entire show. I was certain that during "Release Yourself" Larry would break a string on his bass, as I witness in 1977!!! He started funk bass and GAVE LESSON AFTER LESSON THIS VERY NIGHT- LIVE AND IN LIVING COLOR. If you think there's a chance Larry has slowed down over the years, think AGAIN, he's not only stepping, he's picked up a few steps. Graham and his band "Central Station" are in top condition and performing at its best, what a beast on stage !!!ĪLL ABOARD FOR Graham Central Station-I'm convinced now that Larry Graham has discovered funkroids (some form of musical steriods) because it is simply against anyone's DNA to consisently play the brand of funk he performed in the otherwise quiet and quaint town of Annapolis, Md. Larry Graham Central Station live in Renesse!
I witnessed with my very eyes the history of funk-jazz-rock bass, and reflect better on Marcus' words when he introduced Larry: "here's my Godfather" - Éric Thanks DK!Īfter the concert with Marcus Miller a fan said. Then you add Greg on the keys, there's even more magic. I would be remiss if I didn't mention Dave played a very fine arrangement of Somewhere Over The Rainbow, arranged by Rob Mounsey, one of the best arrangements I've heard of this classic.
LARRY GRAHAM ONE IN A MILLION YOU ALBUM FULL
The whole audience was singing along in full voice and harmony with heart to the end. To top it off Larry honored his close friend PRINCE by performing a moving version of PURPLE RAIN. Well, Dave did have an extraordinary band (& a funky vocalist named Lisa, sorry I didn't get her last name!) including the genius keyboardist, Greg Phillinganes who was formerly Michael Jackson's musical director for a decade, need I say more? Love this gifted man. Koz's whole band was screaming "WE TIGHT!!!".and this was only the first night of their summer tour! Get ready America, this show is going to blow you away! it was Ridiculous!!ĭave was the host extraordinaire killin the different saxes that were handed to him on stages.
When Bill, (also known as Rubberhand Man:) and Larry Graham did dueling basses. My long time friend and my musical director for decades, Bill Sharpe who played bass for Dave before being joined onstage by Larry (his idol:) Larry's stage entrance from a side door and walking through the audience playing and looking incredible in his all white outfit. still mind boggling to remember what an outstanding writer Sly was.
I had such a warm & loving night, throw in a great concert here in Austin with my dear friend Dave Koz, and the legendary Larry Graham, who rocked as hard as ever!! When you hear that baritone voice you loved so much in all those iconic hits he recorded with Sly and the Family Stone, Whacha gon' do? You gon'get up and shake your Bootty!! They did a slamming medley of Sly Stone hits. Brenda Russell said about Larry Graham and Dave Koz concert in Austin last night.
