Live 70s soul, funk, r &b albums.....

Phasecorrect- Not to be a nitpicker, but are you limited to vinyl, or are CDs alright? Your preference affects the list that will be forthcoming.

Crusaders "Scratch" album. Nice live album recorded in the mid 70's. It is a little more on the jazz side, but you have to hear it. This is with Larry Carlton in his younger days with Joe Sample, Stix Hooper, Wayne Henderson, Max Bennett and the sax man himself, Wilton Felder. Check it out at Barnes and Noble for a good sample of it.

"Donny Hathaway Live" don't miss this one.

Definitely! Parliamentfunkadelic What you say, haven't been hit by the One in a while, well this funk is definetly stored in your memory banks. Try Parlimanet "Live Earth Tour". The only Casablanca Live release they did. There is also a good bootleg from Denver '76. It's called Rocky Mountain Shakedown. Make my funk the P-Funk!
