OMFUG Masters x Living Colour

While CBGB’s is gone forever, we can recall its hey day with the OMFUG Masters series; recordings of exceptional live shows performed at the once-iconic rock venue. This installment features New York’s very own Living Colour, a band that surpassed its novelty with an exceptional funk infused style. Coupled with vocalist Corey Glover’s powerfully delivered, political lyrics, the band’s sound yielded something unforgettable. The performance featured on the CD occurred in 2005 during a less-than-prolific reunion period. The band is expected to release something new next year, but until then, this is a pretty solid set of songs from their finest era.
