The legendary band behind such monster hits as {"&Low Rider"} and "The World is a Ghetto" performs for a sold-out audience at the Grove in Anaheim, California, proving once and for all why they continue to be considered one of the most influential acts in contemporary music. Formed in 1969, War combined elements of funk, R&B, jazz, rock, and Latin in a way that earned them fans from all walks of life. In later years, their music would be sampled by such popular and diverse musical acts as The Beastie Boys, George Clinton, and ZZ Top. In 1975, the band even made history when its song "Why Can't We Be Friends" was broadcast by NASA to Soviet Cosmonauts and American Astronauts as they floated through space. Featuring an infectious mix of classic tracks and radio staples, this 2007 performance is a must-have for longtime fans, and an ideal introduction for the uninitiated. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
