About
WAR IN CONCERT:
Chicano funk icons War rolled their way to fame in the early '70s with classic hits like "Low Rider" and "Why Can't We Be Friends?", and they've kept fans dancing ever since with their groovy, socially conscious jams. The group's roster has changed over the years, but founding member Leroy "Lonnie" Jordan has remained a constant, and his familiar voice and jazzy keyboard licks continue to drive the band's fun-loving sets. The multi-ethnic lineup he's assembled stays true to the band's message of harmony and brotherhood, and their 2014 studio debut together – the first new War album in 20 years – proved they've got the musical chemistry to carry on the band's hallowed legacy. In concert they strike up the same funky, feel-good vibe that fueled War's rise to success in the '70s, and their party-starting blend of rubbery basslines, Latin percussion, and scorching saxophone always gets ticket buyers moving their feet.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
War formed in 1969 when famed producer Jerry Goldstein brought together former Animals singer Eric Burdon and a group of Long Beach, CA funk players he discovered at a North Hollywood club. The group started performing throughout Southern California as Eric Burdon and War, and in 1970 they released their debut album Eric Burdon Declares "War." Their first single "Spill the Wine" was a Top 3 hit on Billboard's Hot 100, making them stars overnight and leading to extensive touring. War was quickly hailed as one of the best live bands in the business, but Burdon left the group to pursue other projects a year later. Despite the sudden departure of their frontman, the best was yet to come for War – they dominated the R&B charts in the '70s with a string of No. 1 albums including The World is a Ghetto (1972), Deliver the Word (1973), and Why Can't We Be Friends (1975). The band remained a funk force to be reckoned with throughout the '80s and '90s, and in 2008 Burdon reunited with the group for the first time in 37 years for a one-off show at London's Royal Albert Hall. Since then founding member Lonnie Jordan has kept the music alive with a talented new lineup that made their studio debut on 2014's Evolutionary and continues to burn it up on tour.

So wonderful!!
by Almost Seventy on 9/19/23Morongo Casino Resort and Spa - CabazonRating: 5 out of 5Went to the event with my husband as an end of the summer get away: totally enjoyed the show! Excellent musicians!!! Well worth that horrible drive from Los Angeles. ( We should have left earlier). I really appreciate that they played the songs I know and not a bunch of new stuff that I wouldn’t have recognized. I wish I could have stayed for the Saturday night show.

Concert goer
by sc on 9/4/23Edgewater E Center - LaughlinRating: 5 out of 5I have seen WAR many times for over 40 years. I love their music. They still have their own original soul/rock sound. They still got it!
Fantastic!
by Don & Rita on 8/30/23Rating: 5 out of 5We were sitting front and center in the 5th row, so perfect seats! The band played so many of our old favorites and were in fine form, especially Lonnie Jordan. What enthusiasm he had! The musicianship was top notch. We were humming the tunes long after and were taken back to our carefree 20's back in the 70's when these songs were happening. Loved every minute.
It was a great concert
by Ceroni on 8/30/23Rating: 5 out of 5Love that it was at edgewater great venue! I will be going to more concerts there.
An outstanding event
by Estevie on 8/29/23Rating: 5 out of 5The WAR concert was an outstanding event. The venue was great and extremely comfortable for the southwest desert. WAR was fantastic as always. Their music brought back memories from the good old days of our youth. The folks at the Edgewater went above and beyond in assisting us to acquire our tickets as at our age we are phone and computer challenged. I would drive the four (4) hours once again to attend another concert at the Edgewater venue. Good job everyone.
So much love
by Susie on 8/29/23Rating: 5 out of 5Fabulous concert. They are always in top form. So much love in the venue for the band. Beautiful night. I really was impressed with the way everyone was respectful and didn’t stand , so everyone was able to stay seated and see the show.

by Kat on 8/29/23Rating: 5 out of 5The performance of war was right on it one of the best concerts we’ve ever been to. Great seats And the best time
Good
by Eve on 8/29/23Rating: 3 out of 5Overall a good concert as far as the venue comfortable seats, but they were too close to each other
Good concert but…..,
by Concert Go-er on 8/29/23Rating: 3 out of 5The frontman for the concert has a lot of energy. The band was good. I gave it a 3 because of the venue. Just because there was a few empty seats up front, why do you allow people that pay for the cheap seats to move up to the front to stand up in front of you and make idiots of theirselves. Including sending a joint on stage to the band members. Also bringing two women on stage to dance was odd.
Good
by Eve on 8/29/23Rating: 3 out of 5Overall, a very good experience seats were comfortable, but very hard to get through the rows. They were too close.
