Topic: Rock Candy Funk Party at the Baked Potato

Just a short note. 3 AM and just back from the gig. The Spud was cooking tonight as Joe and friends just had a relaxed and good time jamming away. Mike Merritt on Bass, Tal Bergman on Drums, Ron deJesus on Guitar and Arlan Oscar on many keyboards and Moog.
1st set,
Mr. Clean
Fly Like an Eagle
Yes We Can Can
Steppin' Out
The Thrill is Gone
Ain't No Sunshine
Torn Down
Stratus.
Joe said it was a chance to break out his vintage guitars and have some fun.
His '53 blonde 225
His  '53 roadworn Telecaster
His  #52 JBLP
Our group of local fans with an added 4 from Massachusetts out for the gig were squeezed in like sardines with 40 others in the sold out tiny bar and treated to a dazzling display of musical prowess from this group of master musicians, the likes of which is rarely heard, as they stood on the low stage inches from us.
They played it all. Funk, Jazz, Blues, Rock and extended freeform jams with each swapping off for extended solos.
A short break and they were up for set 2 which was more jams with a 20+ minute Pusher Man, several others I should have remembered but don't, and finishing up with an extended orgy of Blues Deluxe.
Many vids and pictures to follow.

Re: Rock Candy Funk Party at the Baked Potato

Sounds like you had a fantastic night Rick.  Bet there's loads of us who were wishing we could've been there to see this first hand, so the next best thing is awaiting the vids and photos. 

Thanks for posting!

wow my head just exploded with other questions. will wait and see what gets revealed

Must be Jane. I was corrected elsewhere that it is Tore Down, but I have his handwritten set list in my hand and that is how he wrote it.

That might (?) be the Sonny Thompson song covered most famously by Freddie King...

was Ain't no Sunshine instrumental or did Joe sing that one? Thanks

As I recall, it was left out. Most were instrumentals that night. Joe sang on 3 songs. 6 or 7 total with vocals.
I posted this on the other thread but here is the last one from me. Starts with a shot of Joe's car and the queue of fansite folk, then a pan of the club, then on to the bit of Stratus. Check Ron's look when Joe switches in the Leslie and starts to shred at the end.  lol  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ya2GwkPd2Ps

Sorry this one gets cut off when Joe is jamming but couldn't help it as my battery died.  Still 9 minutes of funk!

Thank you very much for posting this topic and videos.  I really enjoyed watching Joe in a Club/Jam situation.  He was great as usual.
