Whats great about Fela, is you could go on playing it for hours, as they did, until they fainted ! You know, Fela was a notorious hash smoker, so that kinda helped too. P.s. Alka, youre really beating the !@#$ outta the orher guys! Right on!

I saw Femi Kuti at the Montreal Spectrum, as part of the Jazz Festival, it was a hot sultry night. Maybe not the same, but still very intense on the dance floor.
