It seems like that was a prety wild show! Here is a clip of MarloweDK jamming with Larry at what I think was the same show:MarloweDK and Larry Graham @CPH Jazz Festival - YouTube

The sound quality is poor, but is interesting to see MarloweDK on stage with an actual band.

The list of why Larry Graham is not the man would be FAR shorter than the list of why he is the man

Shorter because the list of why he isn't the man simply cannot exist - there would be ZERO items on that list

Larry not being on the list would be a conspiracy by the man, which cannot be possible because Larry is the man and he'd be rebelling against...the man?

I am a mediocre slap player at best. If I attempted to pull of my very best riff with Larry Graham's hand on my shoulder, I'm pretty certain I would just pass out.

Honestly, this is not something I'd show to anyone if I wanted to show them how awesome Larry Graham is.

Who all would have never even learned slap if it wasn't for larry probably

Because, even as a huge funk fan that's not something I could ever see myself enjoying. Sure, it looks like everyone is having a great time but I'd much rather show someone Larry's music than him and 10 bass players slapping their pants off on stage. I'm no slap hater either but that just wasn't what I consider "good."
