Superb studio footage - rehearsing part of the soundtrack - and [i]that[/i] song.

I'm a massive IH fan, so just had to share it - what a band to be a part of.

Good stuff, and a great tune and arrangement.
Funny, it sounds really odd without the superb Orchestrations on top.

Wow nice!

I know Willie Hall is on drums and Charles Pitts does the famous wah-wah guitar - but do you know who the rest of the band are?
The E.P. player in particular is very familiar.

EDIT: That would be 'cos it's Booker T - D'oh!

Thanks for this - I am a huge IH fan too. I had seen this clip before and have been looking for for ages on you tube.

I think the bass player might be James Alexander - the only member of the Bar-Kays who survived as he didn't get on the plane with Otis Redding....

EDIT: Just read the wiki - apparently the wasn't the only survivor - the trumpet player actually on the plane survived the crash.

The bass player IS James Alexander - although, laughably, Carole Kaye has claimed she played bass on it....

The sun must have been very bright that day in the rehearsal room...good thing they brought their sunglasses along.

Fantastic.
Although CK is a great and well respected player, look's like she has tried to shaft someone else.
