Art Neville passed away on July 22nd, 2019 at his home in New Orleans, he was 81 years old... He was a founding member of the Neville Brothers and the Meters. Known as 'Poppa Funk', Neville was a staple of the New Orleans music scene, who helped shape the city’s signature sound... The Meters, formed in 1965, were among the originators of funk, performing their own songs as well as backing artists including Lee Dorsey, Robert Palmer, and Doctor John. They were honored with a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2018... In 1977, Neville founded the Neville Brothers along with his brothers Aaron, Charles, and Cyril. Their notable songs include “Sister Rosa” and “Healing Chant,” which won a Grammy Award in 1989... In 1975 he played the Hammond organ the Labelle's #1 hit, "Lady Marmalade"... In later years, Neville formed the Funky Meters along with some members of the original group... He continued playing with them until his retirement in late 2018... May he R.I.P. Note: "Cissy Strut" peaked at #23 on Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart in 1969...

HAPPY 85TH POPPA FUNK!!!!!

[@MrGUGO4]

Wow This is the original FUNK man. The Godfather of FUNK !!!

[@erichanhauser3190]

I lent this CD to my best friend. A year later he says to me, you ever hear The Meters? I said, this is my CD. He told me it was his CD. Whatever. Smoke summorre Ganga. It's OK. Meters Rule.

[@straderi]

Hope you guys got that worked out 😂

[@biglongcadillac]

Puff puff pass

[@Rahnotrob]

That is ONE funky drummer. I can smell him from here and it's delicious!!!

[@MarcBrewer]

Nice to hear a band that can COUNT!

[@Funkengr00ven]

The Meters are the tightest, funkiest cats around. This stuff really floats my boat...

[@hanjimmy1272]

1974 l have a band we can play Cissy sturt 😮😮😮😮😮time flies and now im old man 😢😢😢😢 missing band the the meters

[@brothermaleuspraetor9505]

The drummer is just on his lunch break man...he ain't even breakin a sweat....s'all gud.......

[@OddsGetEven]

This is a stone cold groove man.

[@Dana21283]

Damnnn straight

[@twomindz79]

You jive Turkey.

[@bluesboyking1987]

SOOOOOOO Tight.....the drum fills amazing...the guitar...sooooo nice.....god i want to meet these guys

[@robbbarker4067]

I was present perhaps accounted for....love the meters and the jazz fest,,,,geo-o-orge porta...love you all

[@PrairieSuns]

I miss the rich sound of an old Hammond being run through a Leslie. This later version, 25 years after the laid back chill of a recording session, still good despite being hopped up (& faster) on stage adrenaline. There is no better satisfaction for me than the Funk.

[@coolguy00442]

The groove and feel here is amazing.

[@JohnnyLYoung]

In high school, played in a band this was one of our biggest dance song.

[@improvmaniac]

so awesome! I could listen to this forever!

[@danielweintraub]

One of the greatest bands of all time!

[@blakkkman]

This live version is a bomb !!!

[@nolapas711]

George Porter... that's the bassist!!! AHHHH FREAKIN' MAZING!!!!!

[@trevorheadrick2185]

I love the stripped down bare sound of this masterpiece. Essence of Funk, raw Nawlins style. Will listen to past the end of Time

[@goodstorylover]

Another Round (movie) sent me here, and am I glad to get to know this band!

[@wadeskinner5226]

You guys are the best nothing else needs to be said.

[@darrylevans4401]

This is soul baby instrumental from The great Meters play this all the time on my internet radio show Classic Soul me the Masterblaster.

[@montebrown3877]

George playing a L-2000 g&l bass. It's thrilling to see P-bassist appreciate Leo Fender's genius.

[@littlequacka]

Few people here saying "too many mistakes", "band not together". I think what you need to realise is, they are obviously a supporting act at this gig. There is a kit and other gear set up in the background. That could mean that they never got a proper soundcheck and also that their on-stage monitoring could be off. Their drummer is spot on. It's not always the musicians fault if there are a few bummers in the timing and the notation.

[@whiketurner6249]

And it's fucking awesome anyway. :)

[@vineflower]

littlequacka These are the great meters... Hope you realize that when you say they are a supporting band...

[@littlequacka]

For sure...great band indeed. Still supporting another act by the look of this video.

[@MrBassSlapp]

coolest intro ever! i just wanna say ... WOW .. "out of words" ... WOW ! :) PURE FUNK !

[@MrKingGator]

2021 I still DJ this

[@Ravenzero-oz7sf]

I can imagine the red hot chilli peppers doing a live jam of this funk of a song!!

[@PoeticJustice05]

I believe that should be Ziggy Modeliste, one of the best, and most underrated, funk drummers

[@WolfeyWolf]

saw these guys two nights ago AMAZING!!!

[@pretorious700]

Yeah, you're right, but this song is really hard to pull off at the studio speed, especially for a festival crowd. Playing live, adrenaline tends to speed up stuff organically. I like this version too. They actually fuck up the head when it comes around the second time.

[@conceptworld]

remember, that's the Funky Meters, and not the REAL Meters (that'd be with Zigaboo)

[@goobersuniteextra4700]

The first time I heard this song was in the movie RED.

[@blsdwnstr]

Sort of hard to blow away the people that wrote the song.

[@kakakhodenn9128]

Memories of school dances in my early teens,,, o yeahhh

[@leeeinfield]

thats beautiful drumming right there with none of that double bass crap. this is too awesome

[@thomaswni]

wow. they're just so talented. My mouth is still open :-O

[@oleold]

One of my favorite groups Banging music real music youngsters watch and learn please bring back live music.

[@gjazz22]

I saw these guys at Jeds up were the st Charles Trolly loops before it takes a straight shot all the way past the garden dist. past loyola in 1975 they had just come off their tour with the rolling stones .... thanks to the southern bellle that danced with me that night,

[@roysterbass7]

If you can't feel the GROOVE on that, you must be dead! Awesome!

[@RandomPerson-ob1hk]

I can't believe this was played with actual drums lmao so fast I thought it was a machine

[@jaymyers5312]

lol this is twenty years old, but it still feels like just ten..

[@jan1080]

Woooooooot awesome! He's wearing a Moldejazz t-shirt, hahah. That's a local jazz festival from around my place :D

[@johnsons1812]

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY THE REAL FUNK!!!!!!

[@twomindz79]

Chili peppers are real funk .

[@Valgroth]

In funk, tightness isn't always necessary, less tightness can add more groove...

[@walterhighwood3209]

The drummer is great of course , but I love this bass player, too. He lets the drummer groove and he himself , doesn't add too many notes. A true bass player !

[@johnleland4212]

DEFINITELY!!!

[@JohnnyNation]

Can everyone agree this band is TIGHT ??!!!###

[@gtrDan1963]

Leo Nocentelli is one funky dude...made even more so by his use of the ultra-rare Fender Starcaster hollow body guitar ! Excellent guitar / drums interplay !

[@dfieldspga]

The funk jams from Phish are amazing!! They many different styles but their melodic funk jams are crazy good.

[@JustusVidyo]

i looove this song :)))

[@soulpaua2097]

Rest In Peace Art - New Zealand.

[@kapildrums]

I think it's Russel Baptiste Jr. The original drummer for the meters was the inimitatable Joseph"zigaboo"Modeliste.

[@thomaswni]

unbeliveable

[@makmahloch3070]

love it! really gets me groovin!

[@Nevernow721]

RIP Russell ❤

[@hermandavis2625]

James Brown loved too!

[@gabecurtis7284]

This is my favorite song by the meters my favority part is the bass.

[@dogshithouse]

off subject... finally someone who can spell ... i get so sick of seeing people in here who comment and can not spell... like people in their 30s and shit.. what the fuck... oh yeah.. meters are way bad ass..

[@charliesanders3537]

And the drummer dropped a few Blushdas too!

[@Leopoldey]

this is so oldschool!

[@albarto]

this the only song of theres i know , fooking love it do , wot the rest of there stuff like , are they funky

[@nikolaosmosxakis3395]

very good................

[@LosLurvos]

most awesome drum sound ever

[@stix9641]

RIP Poppo Funk ❤

[@buddybopper]

How is it possible for 19 people to dislike this?!?

[@synthonaplinth5980]

No sense of groove.

[@ngomanumu]

yes in deed Mr. Russel Batitste . . .one of my fellow purple knights. . .

[@albarto]

thanks for that

[@laketahoeron]

never herd that before and i like it. I would love here someone say that to me after i did my thing

[@gypsymoth54]

The funk in funk

[@_JellyDonut_]

gypsymoth54 You sayin they put it there? If so you ain't lyin!

[@mbruns59]

This is awesome. I love Russell, but I agree that Zigaboo is THE deal. I've loved Meters records and gone to Jazz Fest many times since 1990, but had never heard the original guys ALL together til post Katrina JF. It was totally amazing and Zig was the difference. He and George together have the most amazing and flexible pocket. Zig plays with complete command and a space and gentleness at the same time...incomparable, but if he's not there, Russell's an excellent replacement.

[@wadeskinner5226]

It was great to see you in Australia

[@squizzardrum]

the best damn funk band ever, check them out!

[@sherman9009]

@1blastman can't stop listening to it

[@222Sucram]

the beggining is great.

[@BrianAgustinsoulson25]

[@robertiaccarino4363]

George Porter, Zigaoo,, Poppa Funk and Leo who wrote the riff

[@keithboyd1847]

Yeah Hell yeah The Meters New Orleans or should I say Nawlins

[@liyanya]

[@barefootbilly]

[@MarcBrewer]

Nice! Love to watch a band that can COUNT!

[@panteralaw99]

[@TheGravygun]

[@ceboo121]

[@bluesfunkrocker]

Feling all right listen this!! :-D

[@schindler1313]

This aint The Meters. Its the Funky Meters. that ain't Zig on the skins. Its Russel Batiste. Dude kills it tho.

[@windingcheck]

Funkiest of the funky.

[@xPhuZioNx]

Just listen to that groove!

[@DoowahDiatribe]

I agree mbruns. Though I haven't been to Jazz Fest in many years I did listen to the Meters a lot in the mid70s including small clubs...Zig is indeed the man.

[@roftedele]

great tune

[@sherman9009]

0.23 that's some sick drumming

[@911fever]

Badass

[@ronHpyrotech]

That's what I was talking about, 1/2 behind.

[@finylvinyl66]

Which, in most cases, is better than newschool.

[@WillOwenGage]

Ronald is Zigaboo on steroids! It definitely grooves, HARD!!!

[@PreparingForSHTF]

I was turned on to this by American Public Media's (APM) "Marketplace," 4 May 2017.

[@jakiromanu123]

That is so COOL!

[@colingoodall7719]

Ridiculous 🤘😎

[@THEspindoctor84]
