WAR — The Grove of Anaheim, 2007

Full live concert of WAR at The Grove of Anaheim, California, on 30 December 2007. This filmed full concert, later released on DVD as Greatest Hits Live, presents the American band led by founder Lonnie Jordan on keyboards and vocals, with Stuart Ziff on guitar, Fernando Harkless on saxophones, Sal Rodriguez on drums, Francisco Tomaselli on bass, Marcos Reyes on percussion and Mitch Kashmar on vocals and harmonica. A major figure of 1970s funk, WAR built a unique sound blending funk, soul, Latin rock, jazz and reggae. On stage the group rolls out its timeless classics: The World Is a Ghetto, The Cisco Kid, Spill the Wine, Why Can’t We Be Friends?, Gypsy Man and the unavoidable Low Rider. The recording conveys the deep groove and party spirit of a band that shaped West Coast Black and Latino music. A reference live concert for lovers of funk, soul and cross-genre music in concert, captured in full from a sold-out California show that became one of the band’s definitive live documents.
