Eric Burdon split from War in 1971, but the rest of the group would have many more hits without him, including "The World is a Ghetto", "The Cisco Kid", "Gypsy Man", "Slippin' Into Darkness" and "Why Can't We Be Friends?"

"The World is a Ghetto"

“The Cisco Kid" (In Detroit)

"Gypsy Man"

Full20+ minute Version… 

 

"Slippin' Into Darkness"…

 

And what would seem to be an unlikely cover, but made a whole lot of sense...

"Why Can't We Be Friends?"
