Bernie Worrell
& the WOO Warriors



Review 03/26/98
From: PFUNK53

Bernie Worrell and the Woo Warriors played at Da Funky Fish in Bayshore   
Long Island last night, Thursday 3/26/98. I got there around 10pm. The    
warm up band was pretty good. They played what I would describe as        
ska/funk. Due to the small stage BW & crew didn't hit the stage until     
12pm. The venue was a long narrow bar with the stage in the back. $15 at  
the door was the admission and the barmaids were quite saftig.            

The Woo Warriors started the show with the standard Sly Stone cut Thank   
You for lettin'me be mice elf again, which leads into Red Hot Mama. Y Spy 
was next followed by the old Funkadelic classic If You Don't Like the     
Effects..... Straight Ahead followed. The new song 'Fingers' featured a   
nice guitar solo by Mike Ruben. Supegroovalistic was exceptional as       
always, and was followed by Comin' Round The Mountain. Mike was also      
amazing on the intro to Baby, I Owe You Something Good. He played the     
mandolin part on his guitar to perfection. Can You Get To That was the    
next song up. The Woo Warriors then went into the instrumental "Mask" from
the Pieces of Woo cd. This song featured some awesome drumming by Van     
Romain and some great keyboard/guitar dueling between BW & Mike. I haven't
seen that dueling since the Tramps show with Fujinski on guitar.          

The next song was the treat of the night. 'Smokey' with Greg Fitz on lead 
vocals backed up by BJ Nelson blew me away. I was even more surprised when
I saw some other people in the audience singing along. I guess Long Island
does have the funk. The encore was Thumpasaurus with alot of thumping &   
bumping from Donna Mc Pherson's bass. The show ended around 2am. It was   
also nice to see the Woo Warriors stretch out some of the songs for a     
change with some solos. Bernie also played to an enthusiastic crowd who   
didn't care how late it was getting. Lots of audience participation.      

I can't say it enough, but if the Woo comes within 150 miles of your town 
run to see them you will be glad that you did.
