Here's the first video from the sold-out Sullivan Hall Perfromance by the New Mastersounds. The guys were absolutely on fire. The funk elite.

Erik Lawrence (Starfish, hipmotism, Levon Helm) jamming the classic Windjammer with the New Mastersounds. I'm so glad I stopped dancing enough to catch some of these vids. They were welcome breaks in the midst of dancing like I was 20 again.

Pure is one of my favorite songs and eddie was completely on fire for it. Shredding solo and spacey breakdown.

CHeme on tamborine for this eddie solo that went on for what seemed to be hours of ripping! He is a virtuoso in every sense of the word.
