David, Mel&ThenSome, Carl,
Talk about magic, I still can't find the words to express the sheer pleasure of just being there (not to mention having a digital camera and camcorder to document the occassion). The night of the performance there were all these celebrities there and they were INTO IT!!! I was really surprised to see Mr Siver there. I could not have imagined he was a fan of the Funks! Sinbad was there too and many more. The guest artist for the night were Rick James & Tina Marie, Mary Wilson, and Ollie Woodson of the Temptations.
Thanks for posting them David.

EVERYONE DOES APPRECIATE YOUR GARGANTUAN EFFORTS !!! GREAT PICS BASSLAND. WOW..I HAVEN'T SEEN JOE MESSINA IN YEARS AND YEARS. ONCE I FOCUS ON HIM...YEA...IT'S JOE MESSINA.

Yes thanks again Bob for the pix.
For those who don't know LA well...
The top pic is of Hollywood Blvd. looking East. SITSOM was screened at The Egyptian Theatre on the right, an old Hllwd theatre built in '22 and recently renovated: http://www.egyptiantheatre.com/egyptian/egypt.htm
Across the street and out of the camera's view is The Knitting Factory where the Funks played that night.
I crashed the invitation only party, bee-lined backstage, had the funks sign my P-Bass and met Bob Lee for the 2nd time. Great guy.
The Funks were all very nice backstage, specially Joe Messina and Eddie Willis. They didn't show their hectic schedule, they all seemed tickled to be there. The hit the stage and during their 1st or 2nd song a guy I was standing next stage right was yelling to Joe Hunter "Joe! Hey Joe!!".
Joe turned to look, caught the guys eye and beautiful genuine smiles were shared. Joe went back to playing. I turned and said to this guy "you know these dudes ehh?"
This very distinguished gentleman looked at me and said "yeah, I found these guys".
I asked "are you Berry Gordy?"
He said "nah man, Micky Stevenson".
We talked a bit, he was very cool with me.
Later did I discover just WHO Micky was.
It was a great night for Bob, myself and all who were there. Unforgettable night.

Wow ! Great photo's !! I heard about the performance in Hollywood 2 days after the fact & immediately felt like there was a hole in my gut.....I wanted to be there SOOOOOO bad ! I didn't know it was invitation only ( it figures)...but I would have turned into record exec.,roadie, or one of the Funk Brothers sons just to get in the door and partake of the groove. Larry...I don't care if it's a sweep, trap, or a draw....u run interference & I'm right behind ya Next Time !! (LOL)
Bassland...love the pics man...please contact me off-line.
