    This sounds better recorded than many of the Fela CD's I've picked up over the years. Yeah, there are some resemblences between the Nevilles and Fela's band. I like ITT and some of the  others from this era--Fela was a magnetic performer before the raid on his compound.

    Nice choice.  We used to cover this tune a lot.  I totally credit this song with re-inventing my strength and focus on the guitar.  You try playing that riff nonstop for 15 minutes and get back to me...
