The Motet, the funkadelic Denver supergroup, played for a packed house this past Halloween weekend at the Ogden Theatre. The spooky tradition of covering an artist each Halloween weekend was broken last year when the band decided to play hits only from 1980 and this year they chose 1975. The show, dubbed appropriately “Mixtape 1975,” stayed true to the band’s Afrobeat heritage. As the band took the stage the buzz of the audience turned into raucous applause, eager for what was to come from this groovin’ group.

Two classic bands joined forces to rock the Ogden on Friday night and while this wasn’t a young man’s evening out on the town, by all accounts the crowd got down and danced the night away as Tower of Power and War served up full sets of soulful, funky, hornlaced classics. While Tower of Power has a vast arsenal of hits like “Soul With A Capital ‘S’,” “What Is Hip?” and “You’re Still A Young Man,” War is probably best known for a pair of 1975 classics “Why Can’t We Be Friends?” and of course “Low Rider.”
