Without argument, one of the baddest-coolest songs of all time.

1975 the year I graduated & too many dear friends are long gone now i shared all this great music with in our youth & I'm still listening & playing it for all of them & sharing this great music with the World!

Big Afros, handlebar mustaches, but most of all? No bullshit, just real raw killer funky perfection!

B.B. Dickerson, longtime bassist for War died April 2021 R.I.P.

One of the best, and most underrated, bands of the 20th century.

What an iconic song! Opening song for Cheech And Chong’s “Up In Smoke”.

Yea I lived those days. Survived

Charles Miller blowing on this one. Loved the fact that more than one got to lead th singing on their hits. Might feature some War on the weekly rap up tomorrow night!

In 1975 when this song Low Rider came out I was only 12 years old. It was my favorite song as a kid and still is to this day . Now I’m 59 . In my late 20’s I bought a 69 Chevy impala and lowered it and put in a 5000 watt stereo system and went cruising in it , I was 30 . I bet you can’t guess what song I played while cruising , that’s right , Low rider of course . The group War is the only war I like. Thanks War for a grate child hood , love your music.

Such an amazingly talented band. This takes me back to a less complicated time and a happier place.

"Cisco came in blastin' drinkin' port..." Balls out. May we all live to the limit.

In 1975 I was 12 years old best ever Alex

I remember hanging with my buddy Richard ……..My Mexican Pisano ……..We loved this song and would sing it together………

ROCK N ROLL HALL OF FAME

Doesn't get much better than This song! Man... the memories!

Amazing drumwork intro of Cisco Kid.

amazing, revolutionary artists; still sounds NOW, 50 years later

Saw them in 1972 at Reeds Arena in Youngstown, Ohio. ❤❤

Aww, I remember this track! Used to dance to this back in the day! Also loved Me n Baby Brother!!!

thank you dad for your War music collection on Napster while i grew up

I still play their album regularly. It never gets old!

My parents are huge fans of WAR. I grew up hearing their music all the time ever since I was baby. Their music was engrained in my soul. I have so much respect for them. Seeing them live with my parents at the L.A. County Fair is a memory I’ll always remember.

That white afro guy on Harmonica is packing heat lol This band was so smooth.

I love the way they know they’re bad asses and also how they enjoy PLAYING their funky anthems, great post

Love this band! Three originals are still playing together as 'The Lowrider Band'

Love that voice.

Love it! In the 70's was working a factory in jersey. My friend Jose lived in NY in the Bronx. We was listening to this song on break. He told me, steel in the following sentence means motor cycle, and the Fort is where the Outlaws had a clubhouse. Jose knew the ''Street view" of the music of the times, tough SOAB! here is the sentence means motor cycle probably a Harley. "They rode the sunset, horse was made of steel".

My first concert I won the tickets from the newspaper station. I wasn’t old enough to drive out to Pine Knob ; thanks dad my guy always. Three acts local funk group Parliment, WAR, EWF. They killed it I bought every album they put out WAR LIVE…Slipping into Darkness. I was 15 and my younger brother was 14. We still reminisce about that night. 313 4Life OGEE 58

Immediately in my head, I see the opening scene to Up in Smoke!

That's a wild funk timing progression on Cisco Kid 😎

here to appreciate the fantastic drum work..wow

Still love it October 2023!

Saw them live in Aug 1974. Did both these tunes. Low Rider had not yet been released.

I love these 2 songs and listening to them together is awesome. Great band, great talented and real musicians.

I absolutely LOVE Low Rider!!

Una locura vacilando esta musica en los 70

Incredible music talented musicians on their own right, I have always thought to see a jam together for these 3 bands on there heydays like WAR, THE COMMODORES and EARTH WIND AND FIRE .I must be dreaming .....

A legit and hot selling pop, r&b, funk band, with a clarinet blowin' on the live set of Cisco Kid. Love it!

Low Rider is my Ring Tone!!!!!!! I'm 70 still Rock n Roll!!!!!!!!! Cali4nia!!!!!!!

The coolest song ever written.

One of my favorite songs they did was spill the wine with Eric Burdon

I saw them in concert in the 70's at Hammersmith Odeon, London, England. Great concert.

Such a cool sound! Wish I had the chance to see them in the day but still grovin to the sound in 2022!

Saw War a few years back, Grand Funk opened w/o Farner. I wore knee length black leather flat heeled boots, danced~stomped all night feet were so sore the next day. What a fantastic night~memory! Love this funk band!! 😅

Congrats War , your music has withstood the test of time ! Still just as great as when it was first released !

One of my favorites Bands of all time!! Definitely underrated but that's OK because it leaves them for US! I still cry when I listen to " SO"

Oh man, I loved this song so much. Still do.

Master legendary HOWARD SCOT vocal band WAR

"Cisco Kid" --------------------- The Cisco Kid was a friend of mine The Cisco Kid was a friend of mine He drink whiskey, Poncho drink the wine He drink whiskey, Poncho drink the wine We met down on the fort of Rio Grande We met down on the fort of Rio Grande Eat the salted peanuts out of can Eat the salted peanuts out the can The outlaws had us pinned down at the fort The outlaws had us pinned down at the fort Cisco came in blastin', drinkin' port Cisco came in blastin', drinkin' port They rode the sunset, horse was made of steel They rode the sunset, horse was made of steel Chased a gringo last night through a field Chased a gringo last night through a field The Cisco Kid was a friend of mine The Cisco Kid he was a friend of mine The Cisco Kid was a friend of mine The Cisco Kid was a friend of mine

I was a senior in high school when this album came out. A lot of memories. Along with All Day Music

War came to my ears as a child through K-Tel compilation records, and has echoed through my life eve since. Why can’t we be friends?

Love it! What a bass groove.

Effin fantastic bassline! He is driving this funky bus!

The World is a Ghetto was a great album. Classic.

Saw them live at a county fair. The bass lines were pre-recorded, but a good performance. I see the keyboard player throwing in some jazz cords.

Blasting this at full volume while eating salted peanuts out the can

I still have there cds in my car & play daily.

Waking up and hearing this at 2am😭

The Cisco Kid was a friend of mine.

Phenomenal live band. I saw them at the Varsity theater in Baton Rouge in the 90s. Most of the original lineup. Great musicianship

Thee enthusiasm is without question.

Great group that made great music.

They were something special.

The first time I heard this was on the Electric Company in the early 70s. I’ve been a war lover since then

Thanks for years of your time and effort. Greatly appreciated guys.

Loved their sound, the true Wall of Sound.

Great songs! I remember them clearly as if it was just yesterday… I enjoyed them then and still enjoy them now. Here I am over 60. Thank you!

Great, fantastic,out of this world

I really LOVE playing my instruments knowing you taught me how. Wishing and wondering and my dreams came true thanks for every note!

One of the first things I would do when my boyfriend picked me up for a date was popping in an 8track of WAR. GOOD TIMES. 😎😊

I love that kind of music!!!

Up in Smoke !!

I was hoping for a good copy of a live "Lowrider" performance by the original group. Good job, Reelin'!

Saw them at the Newport Jazz Festival at Shea Stadium - '78 or '79 - best guess...

Thanks for the upload ...and flash backs to "Up In Smoke" ;)

Behold the OG KZEW logo behind the stage!

When I need some funk, I always wind up listening to this amazing band. I love me some funk. It lifts me up. Peace to the band members, present and past.

Lee Oscar, was my favorite

saw them thirty years ago, they were amazing

Also if ya dig this song on youtube by War 😊 you may enjoy Where Roses Grow Live by Rez Band. I remember hearing the song by Led Zepp " In My Time of Dyin " during my drug years and made me think about death and Jesus. Then a hippy friend that dug Jesus told me more of Jesus love and forgiveness and how I could also know Jesus love. So in 1981 I cried out to Jesus and wow man He came into my life and I had and have so much joy and peace and now know that through Jesus when I die I will be with Him in Heaven. Hey Jesus loves each of you also and yall can know Him if you are at all open. Just cry out to Him and also read the Gospel of John in the Bible or check out the movie on KZfaq. 😀

On the radio,chech and Chong, gone in 60 seconds. Hell today on fox and friends. Full circle. Love it

Wow Wow!

Tremendo sonido,excelent and nice.

BEAUTIFUL!!!

Luv it!!!

The best ever

My best friend was name Cisco thanks for the video I seen war several times

This is one of the best Live performances I have ever seen! I would have loved to have been there.

Excelente banda ❤

Essa música toca no GTA San Andreas que eu jogo no PlayStation, muito top!!

Hey man, this was the year I was born !! Might be the reason why I love this jam so much and feel no pains or worries.. ✌️😂🤣

Smooth groove.

I saw WAR on Oct 22, 1977 at Dallas Convention Center. Since the KZEW logo is displayed on the stage backdrop, I wonder if that is the concert I attended !?!?! (KZEW was a local Dallas radio station back then).

Nice 🙂🎵🎧🎤🎶

Phenomenal musicians.

awesome
