You know what you’re talking about. When Benny (R.I.P. the GOAT) was on “hiatus”👀 for good, it took its toll on RE. Maniac held it down for a while but then I thought they started slumming RSVP 86-87 days. Late 88-89 the Hole/Eastside/Triples/Metro they was back on top. 💯
R.E. was waaaaaaaay before they time! Remember this like yesterday. All the older dude wit da boxes bumping all PAs in the rec., mad we couldn't go cuz we was too young! Wickedest band alive, and shout out to da realest...lil Benny R.I.P. mistro!
To settle a G.O.A.T conversation....At this time in Go-Go Benny didn't copy nobody...and Jungle Boogie didn't copy nobody...Two classic examples of original styles!!! So when folks want to talk GOAT then understand that GOAT goes beyond popularity. What STAMP (impact) have you put on the game with yur own originality? That's G.O.A.T!!
no debate from me. RE was filled with members who pushed each other to excellence. they paid attention to other styles & cultures and helped gogo for future generations.
WHAT UP CUZ!!! IS THIS THE WHOLE SHOW? 1982, THAT YEAR R.E. WAS GOING SUPER HARD!!!! IF YOU GOT THE 1982 " WONDER WHEEL" SHOW PUT THAT UP HERE THAT SHOW ROCKED THE WHOLE D.M.V.!!!
Good Gawd almighty the way they played “the roll call” on this one !!! Marky was making that Moog whistle !!! It wld be nice to hear them play it like this a few times aside from whtevr it is they be playing these days. Damn I miss the real Essence 😢
This Is Indoors Highland , I Was At 6 Shows In Highland, The No Power Show In Highland Show Was The Best Rare Essence Show Is The Best Go Go Show Ever * And The Howard Theater 82 Show Was 2nd , Love Me Some Essence From 1980-1985 😀❤️

Jungle Boogie is the GOAT no question.
