This show was outdoors in a park in Falls Church, VA, not indoors at the Lincoln Theatre, on a very pleasant Saturday late afternoon. There was a good crowd, but it was well spread out so that even standing at the front of the stage I never felt crowded. The music was as good as ever, and I've seen George many times at festivals and clubs. He brought out some new tunes from a forthcoming instrumental album, and they demonstrated that he and the band are more than funk players. The Running Pardners are all very good musicians, and they can get jazzy and wail away on top of interesting changes. They also brought back old numbers dating back to his Meters days, and they still sound fresh with some new twists.

George Porter Jr. Biography
George Porter, Jr. is best known as the bassist of The Meters, along with Art Neville, Leo Nocentelli and Joseph Zigaboo Modeliste. The group was formed in the mid 60's and came to be recognized as one of the progenitors of funk then called R&B. The Meters disbanded in 1977, but reformed in 1989. Today the original group still plays the occasional reunions but the Funky Meters, of which Porter and Neville are still members, most prominently keeps the spirit alive.
