War Loose Grooves: Funkin' Live In England 1980

One of the most popular funk groups of the '70s, War were also one of the most eclectic, freely melding soul, Latin, jazz, blues, reggae, and rock influences into an effortlessly funky whole that's perfectly illustrated in this April 9th, 1980, concert filmed by Jeffrey Kruger. As well as extended improvisations this film also includes the band presenting faithful versions of their big hits "Cisco Kid" and "Low Rider." By this point in the band's career it had effectively been a unit for a decade and their experience shows in the almost effortless and laid back way they hit their groove.

Funk band War brings their summery sound to the stage in this concert from 1980. The group combined the best of soul, reggae, rock, and world music to create a unique style and a great live show. This performance includes hits such as "Low Rider," "Cisco Kid," and "Why Can't We Be Friends."
