This weekend was Walleye Weekend in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, about an hour south of where we live. I’d hoped to go down Saturday night to hear a most unlikely double bill of the Grass Roots followed by War. However, that trip never materialized.

Monday 21 April saw the historic reunion of Eric Burdon and War for a very special night of electrifying R&B, funk, Latin and jazz. This was the first concert Eric Burdon and War had performed in 37 years since they originally disbanded in 1971.

"The diversity of influences on us was not only musical, but was social as well," says singer-keyboardist and founding War member Lonnie Jordan. "As a result we tried to be entertaining while also spreading the word of peace, harmony and brotherhood. Our instruments and voices became our weapons of choice and the songs our ammunition. We spoke out against racism, hunger, gangs, crimes and turf wars,...
