War: Deliver the Word (United Artists)
Wayne Robins, Creem, December 1973
WAR IS A people's band, the black urban counterpart of Grand Funk's white midwest. Like Funk, or the Grateful Dead, they have their fingers on the rhythmic pulse of their audience, enabling them to bring stadiums full of tens of thousands of people to their feet upon hitting their first note, and swirling that audience into a dancing frenzy.
