Panic with members of Galactic

Covering The Meters & Funkadelic

One of my favorite Meters songs and a frequently covered tune on the live music circuit is none other than “Ain’t No Use”.

The song is a staple of New Orleans released in 1974 on the Meter’s album, Rejuvenation. Galactic is currently on tour with Widespread Panic for select Summer Tour Dates. The tour kicked off last week in Raleigh at Red Hat Amphitheater in downtown Raleigh, NC.

Check out this scorching rendition of “Ain’t No Use” and Paraliament Funkadelic’s “Red Hot Mama” from the second night of the run on Friday, June 6, 2014. Corey Henry & Ben Ellman of Galactic provide some exceptional brass backing and soloing on this scorching segue of covers.
