Going Back to Miami, Live

[51501138]

I thought the punk rockers hair style from the 80s were original, but I can see who started the look. this guy is super bad. 

[Manbi]

OK, who bleached James Brown?

[dustfae]

@Manbi LMAO!!!

[Manbi]

The white James Brown?

[TheGordonwilliams38]

Great to see these old video's of Wayne and the CC Riders. We used to go to the Barn a few times a month at least. He used to break out the ceiling tiles (soft stuff though) and we all danced our brains out. He used to finish the show with Please, Please, Please from the master of soul, James Brown. We missed the best show ever done there. Wayne and James Brown on stage in the barn on 79th St. causeway. GREAT TIMES WE HAD.

I don't know him, honestly, but doesn't he look like the Wizard of Oz? Who was that, Walter Huston?

[gfswann]

I played music & lived in Naples, Fl. in the early 70's. I was off on Sunday nights & I would drive to Miami to the 7 Seas Lounge to see him. Always a Great Show!!!

[jpettijo]

I saw Wayne in "his" night club on the 79th st causeway in Miami in 1965. He was billed as the "father of blue eyed soul" what great music!

[Carmania6267]

holy crap, is he serious with this?

[miamigroove]

1:24 Wayne doing the moonwalk WAY before Michael Jackson

[smallpauldecker]

I did 2 weeks with ya'll in Birmingham AL in '73 I think it was. Chuck Jacobs had just taken Jaco's place (I knew Chuck from his Michigan band CHOPPER. We gigged together a couple times on the same bill). We did the dance sets at The BOOM BOOM Room in Birmingham, Wayne did the shows. He would DESTROY a club!!!

[dlagrua]

Man, that's a raw sound, The sound of savages.

[Pinosen]

that hair is...amazing..=o

[grebel82]

that guy's like a white James Brown....

[Ashmatic]

is it bill murray or john belushi in saturday night live  ? :)))))))

[vinkleman]

This is what the Blues Brothers wished they sounded like.

[wallybygolly]

WTF the deal with the audience, they all in wheelchairs? Only white people would try to dance sitting down.. duh..

[andreasswarfeld]

@wallybygolly Ha HA we are very well trained to behave !!! 

[miamigroove]

@wallybygolly

The producer prob told them to stay seated as to not block the TV cameras :)

[saxtek]

Jaco Pastorius and I were room-mates on the road with this band for about a year. There is no way I can describe it. as Jaco said years later, it was the greatest rock and roll horn band ever - period.

In the video you will see glimpses of Don (T-Don) Capron, who was with Wayne forever, and some other musicians who would go on to be the greatest session players in rock and roll history.

How did the world miss this great band? Most people saw us in rough roadhouses in the midwest.

[saxmanchuck]

@saxtek Did you know trumpet payer kenny Faulk or Trombonist Peter Graves? Both from Miami area and both are still involved in jaco's big band.

[mrjonrickly]

@saxtek

man, you must feel great for playin' with that band!!

i was in a horn band playin' in coventry ky. around "75",,

waynes band was staying there at the hotel and came into the club late...

every one but wayne and his drummer sat in..

me being the drummer was so glad to have that experience.

later, all of us hung out in one you waynes band players rooms and had a good ol' time.

maybe you were there..

[seriously111]

@saxtek wow.

[henrypeckstv]

BOW DOWN TO THE WAYNE!!!!!

[vinkleman]

The greatest example of sitting down dancing on the face of the planet.

[ensconse]

Can't thank U enough.

[REDCLOUDX]

COUSIN!

[Klumpabilly]

This is what you get if you cross James Brown with Brian Setzer!

[tomheller4]

Great Entertainer

[phillydog17]

In Philadelphia, where they got the phillydog.

[Archiebell68]

Awesome1

[myleshift]

the world ,miami ,the collections  and the 7 of us shifty

[thornsqb11]

Blue-eyed soul at it's finest. Wore out the 45 in 66-67. Still have it though. Our band would always include it at our gigs. This guy was huge at my school in Metro Detroit.

[joewyche]

I remember meeting Wayne Cochran in the late 60's . He performed at a club called the "Barn" it was near the 79th St Causeway.. He has such a unique voice, and he could clearly move with the best of them...I wish he would have really hit the big time and recieved more credit for his exceptional talent...

[revolverfish]

1:32  nice move...

[bretadounitedfc]

white chocolate baby

[sawdust116]

i remember him at the rhodes brothers lounge in the merchandise mart in miami. ladies nite 72, 73, on wen. nites

[fernleyguy48]

I remember watching try to tear out the ceiling at the Inferno one nigt with a mike stand. The guy and his band were so outrageous. Wednesday night with Wilmer and Wayne on the weekend.

what a great joint that was !!!!1

[bogan53]

Holy Shit it's Dust Rhodes LOL

[richhans1]

'64-'69 I drove from Wisconsin to FL every spring break. I saw several of his shows at the Barn in Miami and they were wild!!! He was dripping wet with sweat, would tear out the acoustic ceiling and bend a trumpet by smashing it over a table. It's impossible to describe the atmosphere. Great to see this video.

[thesleazyrider]

I remember seeing him in Miami around '67 or '68. After his adult show at The Barn he would come over to a teen nightclub called The World(?). Back in the psychedelic days with black lights, etc. He was awesome! Such energy!! Thanks for the memories!!

[aftermathfool]

pretty cool story jon. wish i was there, woulda been a sight to see lol.

nice post, never heard this song before.

[jonrickly]

part two...

i always went to the sugar shack in columbus ohio...and wayne played there a couple times a year.. he was like from another planet..

we looked on dumb struck...

but he rocked the place!

tore out the ceiling...broke out some lights....walked on tables and poured whiskey in every ones beer..

he was wild and funky...outa this world.

so glad to have seen him!!

[saxtek]

@jonrickly

I played the Sugar shack in Columbus with Wayne, and watched him destroy the ceiling.

[motorcityquig]

@jonrickly I hear you. I was dragged kicking and screaming by a friend to see Wayne at a club outside Detroit back in the early 70's. I considered myself too good for "hilljack music" and went only on my friend's insistance. I tell you, he rocked the house as soon as he hit the stage. High energy from beginning to end. At the end of the show, he could have had any woman in the house, including the wives there with their husbands. A very underrated performer.

[jonrickly]

this is what i remember!!!

i was hooked!!

thank you so much for posting this gem!!
