Man!!!! This brings back a lot of memories for me , I remember going to a lot of Go Go’ s in the ’80s through the ’90s, the Maverick, Panarama, Black hole, East skate, Cherry’s, before then it was outside in Southeast DC at Highland, Peterburg, near the Potomac Gardens Rip LiL Benny, Footz & Laurence
Mannn this joint mean, crystal clear and Crankn! I absolutely love these early 80 RE joints essence was crisp and always in the pocket! Best Party in Town back in them days and boy do I miss them!!
I was just a youngin' during this area, but loved RE. When I lived UPT, my neighbors always gave me the latest tapes. Great times! When DC was still DC.
Wooooooooooow!!!!!!!! You can truly see that this band was one, the presence and input of Lil' Benny made and makes the difference!!!!! Baddest Go-Go Band alive during Lil' Benny's area. Sing it Michael "Mike Music" Muse, play on Footz, Funky Ned, Whiteboy, Marky, God father & Scotty!!!!
I grew up around Clay Terrace NE DC from 1968 to 1987, I graduated from HD Woodson, and every Warriors homecoming it seemed like RE played and that shit was the highlight of the year. (DCOG)
This is when Essence was just a beast!!! Early to mid 80's they were just the best. Go-Go bands were springing up all over the place...but nobody could touch RE then....NOBODY!!!
Most talented and professionally managed Go Go band. I followed them on a Friday night. Sometimes two gigs before ending at the Howard Theater. Probably spent 20.00 the whole night.
