Say Brother Videos (Stark Reality related)
I don't know if other people have turned these up, but I figured a least a few of you havn't seen them. I have a ton of video I am going thru now, but here is a clip of Stark Reality. Its from the Say Brother television show, of which they were the house band. The end with the promo for the 45? 
Link to the video:

Like I said, if this is old news, I apologize. But, I definately hadn't seen this footage.

oh really? I don't have that.....I have the raw Say Brother shows. What else is on the dvd? Do they have the other performances of the bands? The Parliments doing "Testify" is amaaaaaaaazing. And so far, the Chambers Brothers blew my mind too.

Re: Say Brother Videos (Stark Reality related)
(tracked down the dvd tracklisting)
They must have just put the one performance of Stark Reality. I have several of the Say Brother videos. There might be other Stark Reality footage that isn't on the dvd, i am not sure as I havn't seen the Stones Throw thing. HOWEVER, the promo for the 45 at the end of the clip i posted is crazy.
Plus, I'll post up the Parliments "Testify" performance that is facemelting. (converting it now).

Re: Say Brother Videos (Stark Reality related)
(edit: posted this at the same time as above)
So, you have access to the Say Brother archives??
This is through your girlfriend who you said works
at WG*H?
Crazy.
I used to watch "Say Brother" sometimes when I was a little kid
in the mid-70's.
If you can hook up the entire 1st anniversary Parliament show
at some point that would be the shit!

It hasn't been on Youtube for a minute. I'd really like to see it again, and if you posted the whole show, my head might just explode. I'd like to see the Chambers Brothers footage too.

Re: Say Brother Videos (Stark Reality related)
Here is the Testify footage.
http://www.galacticfractures.com/testify.wmv
If I post the whole Spring Special showits gonna be huuuuuuuge. I'll see what I can do with sendspace or something. But I am going to the baseball game tomorrow night, so dunno when I can spend time to encode it all.
Also, I have the Gwen Michaels performances with Stark Reality backing her up. And the James Brown Politics episode. The spring special is the only one that has all music.

Re: Say Brother Videos (Stark Reality related)
WGBH is sitting on 35 years of Say Brother footage. As far as I know, they refuse to release it for purchase in any form. I have no idea why, in today's climate where every TV show ever broadcast is on its way to reissue (I'm praying for The Equalizer), a public television station in need of constant revenue refuses to pull the trigger on this. Fans of Funkadelic are not getting any younger - just ask an average teenager if they have ever heard a single song from their Westbound albums (also, ask them if they give a shit about the prospect).

Re: Say Brother Videos (Stark Reality related)
Aw, this is great. The Stark Reality clip on the 101 DVD has more of the beginning, but doesn't have the 45 promo clip ending. Who are the horn players, btw?
And thanks a bundle for "Testify"! I've been longing to see that. If there ever was a gratuitous graemlin-inducing clip, that would definetely be it. I won't do that, though. The footage speaks for itself. That whole ending with the band + folks dancing in silhouette is fucking amazing. I love this stuff!
Please take me to your dealer, George. Or maybe not.

Re: Say Brother Videos (Stark Reality related)
there's a guy at all the Detroit/Ann Arbor record shows that sells a DVD of Say Brother performances, I still need to cop that from him one of these days. I got an DVD he put together of Upbeat performances, that was fantastic (Funkadelic, Curtis Mayfield, Archie Bell & The Drells, Edwin Starr, Marvin & Tammi etc.). Most are lip synched which sucks but still great footage.

Stanton Davis, trumpet (flugelhorn solos on the whole "Acting, Thinking, Feeling" piece, which this clip is basically the middle "Thinking" piece)
don't remember the 2nd trumpeter's name, nor the names of the trombone, alto, and tenor sax players
Carl Atkins is playing baritone sax
and, of course, Phil Morrison, bass, and Vinnie Johnson, drums.
$2.00 donation for a "Say Brother" 45 - thousands of them, want them or not

I have that Upbeat DVD too - the lip-synching doesn't bother me, since I was weaned on shows like Soul Train and American Bandstand where nine times out of ten that's just the way these things were done. For me, it's just the novelty of seeing these great artists doing their thing, leventy-seven years ago.

Ah, yes....the other video I have is of the whole piece (from episode 7, i think). Is the entire piece on the Stones Throw dvd? What was the situation with Stark Reality backing up other singers? I noticed Gwen Micheals...but I havn't watched the rest so I don't know if anyone else did as well.

btw: if anyone (Stones Throw/Monty) wants me to remove those, just shoot me a pm. not looking to step on anyones toes.

That's the one with "Funky Fried Tofu", right? I remember hearing that at Upskiboo's house – nice. Didn't he do an earlier private/small-press album in a more milesy style?
That Say Brother program listing is madness. Someone ought to unleash all this goodness.

Re: Say Brother Videos (Stark Reality related)
so i found a video tape of the first Hoagy Carmichael's Music Shop show, tried to edit it down under 10 minutes, and put it on YouTube. i know, some of you have been wondering how that show worked with Hoagy and the Stark Reality. don't laugh, remember the producer, Hoagy B., went on to produce Mister Rogers. btw, the little boy in the blue shirt is my 7 year old son, Lee.
also uploaded a complete version of Acting, Thinking, Feeling from the Say Brother show.

Thanks Monty. Was having a stressed out day at work, stuck on Acting Thinking Feeling and now all life's troubles are passing me by.
Funny how well the music works in Hoagy's show. Reminded me that I miss presenters like that who dealt with kids without patronising the shit out of them. Hoagy was firm but fair.
