Last Wednesday history came full circle as The Funky Meters graced the stage once again before a sold-out audience. As George Porter Jr. and the rest of The Funky Meters took the stage, the room erupted with cheers. George greeted the crowd with his soul melting smile and said “Just like 25 years ago, we are gonna start at the beginning” and fired into a mind-numbing rendition of the first song off The Meters 1969 debut album, “Cissy Strut.”

Would Nelly be pumping out slow jams, or did “intimate” simply mean we’d be up close and personal with one of our favorite rappers from the early ‘00s? Luckily it was the latter, and nearly every song that shot Nelly to the top of the charts over ten years ago was performed.
