Sly & The Family Stone...? Playing Here Next Month? YES!
Incredible news, reported on Gapers Block today. Sly & The Family Stone....doing a show May 3rd at the Vic. Dag! But it's been 40 years, though--like an act from the 1930s performing in 1970---I wonder if Sly (now 64) and the people can still get down like this?
BTW: One of best bits of Sly Stone trivia was his pre-Family Stone turn as producer of the San Francisco group, the Beau Brummels. Check them out here, singing "Laugh, Laugh," but first a warning regarding the dancing in this clip: I haven't movement this stiff since the last few seconds of the Lee Harvey Oswald perp walk.
BBTW: The Beau Brummels on The Flinstones, as the Beau Brummelstones.
Comments
I've noticed the ads in the Reader for the last few weeks. Although you would think there would be incredible demand/curiousity, my first suspicion is he be a no-show. Another scenario has the Family Stone playing, with Sly in a cameo appearance/performance.
