OK, I am totally cheating on this one... but it really blew my mind (I was a big fan of Eric Burdon and the band WAR) They played at our local fair (free show... we mostly didn't get big name bands but once in a while we got lucky) Was not all the original band but they kicked ass... especially Eric (at the end he said I'm 53 years old and still doing this... I'm now 61 so really relate to that) I have never seen this before... had to post it. Enjoy:

Just wanted to mention... that video was in black and white (both the film and the musicians) I have never seen this before (maybe I am just old but this really got to me) In light of recent issues (racial BS) This is beautiful... "do you believe... what I'm sayin... let it roll..." Anyway, carry on... (but this really got to me deep...)

First photo of the stones... I guess I was two years old. Good photo (have never seen that before)
Correction: Eric Burden said he was 56 years old at the fair performance.
At the end, everyone wanted more (he was so tired) he kicked ass the entire time,,, poured his heart and soul into the performance. BTW... "spill the wine, take that girl" was very special song to my wife and I (I did both one night... special memory) Our close friends Rosie and Enrique were also there and big fans of the band. In case you don't know, Eric Burden was originally in the band The Animals. He started a new band and the title was Eric Burden declares War (eventually became the bands name) White, black and asian... no hispanic even though the style of their music was. Sorry for hogging the thread.

Yes Yes Yes. I love that song One of my friends in my younger days (the 1970's) turned me on to that.
many years later all I could remember was "one of these days boys"... good memories.

True story, many years ago when I lived in Reno, I went skiing at Mt Rose. I had the Ten Years After Live tape playing in my truck while I was putting on my ski boots. A guy came by and asked who this was because it was so good. I created another TYA fan that day! I still can't believe they aren't in the Rock Hall of Fame. RIP Alvin Lee.

How true TYA is a fantastic band that never did get nearly as much love as they should of.
