I DONT CARE WHAT ANYONE SAYS JB INVENTED DANCE MUSIC.... PERIOD.

[clipboardcrotch]

His walk is more entertaining than most stage performances. Never will there be another like him.

[1fishkungfu]

James Brown is to Funk, what Odin is to Thor.

[GABYNERYPS]

[Kentto3]

Love the random screams~!

[ModGyver]

[Sinsemilla4u]

I LOVE James Brown, but is it just me...I can't watch any James Brown video and not think of Apollo Creed. It's just ingrained in my brain!

[robertricardo0]

The funkiest human being to ever set foot on planet earth!

[Crisfromcal]

The original B-Boy!!! The one who started the breaking culture!!!!

[The2BallisticBrother]

[302zman]

[superbambino24]

the original bboy

[germyw]

I'm not reading all the other comments so if this is the 300th time, sorry. But, I didn't know MJ had straight up taken all JBs moves. Even that little fruity skip walk (so NOT fruity on J. B.)

[theoriginalZ30]

@germyw they were friends for Mike's entire life

[Sinsemilla4u]

@germyw That and the high pitched squeal.

[roms059]

[maliksenna]

[hmgkx]

He was on the best foot of history.

[Agnorbit]

title of the concert? please

[7HUGEY]

@Agnorbit

Mexico 1978 :)

[TruthFromTheHeart]

This very song can define the difference between back then and today's music? Ill let you figure it out for yourself

Can any musician today sing or shout like James Brown?

Can any musician who is past there 40's move and dance like that?

Does any band have as much correlation between the singer and the instruments?

Can any guitarists play like they did in this band?

Does any body play saxophone or trumpet that good? let alone even play it?

R.I.P Good Music

[SeerTrulth]

@TruthFromTheHeart

Brother, so well told.

And as well, can anybody play that frantic bass like Bootzilla?

[TruthFromTheHeart]

@SeerTrulth No, no one can play those instruments as good as the bands did it back them, can you please go like my video on today's music? It's been getting a lot of hate lately

[charles6835]

Man, he was and still is the best.

[pomposo11]

Dat nigga sho cood dance! Huh!

[mrlavabeast]

Does any current music star or group have this kind of energy and presence on stage, let alone pull off a performance like this? No.............ABSOLUTELY NOBODY.

Todays so called 'stars' pale to this.

[TruthFromTheHeart]

They just simply don't do it like they used to....=C

[andrewdemil1]

Ciao! He says "shoot" I think.

[096giovadale]

@andrewdemil1 Ok xD are you italian or english?

[blonde7000]

In minus terms how old was Justin Beiber when this was released :)

[096giovadale]

What does he says at 1:35 "shoe", or "shoot", or what? Im not english, im italian, and i don't understand what does he says in that point. Can you please tell me? xD.

[BLUECHET]

[MrJd354]

that move he  was doin when he had his hand behind his back was so smoooth!! Now we know where Michael jackson copied that foot work from...and the version his band was playing was fast compared to his original version.....priceless....

[unrealxplicit]

[oneluv72]

[Spokonzaga]

You had to watch out for JB's "bad" foot while watching his good foot.

[SeerTrulth]

Earned it every night. 100% of his paycheck. Made me want to go log more hours at work when I saw this. Shit.

[Dayberry]

@VelvetViolator Ok and ill make sure to rip music off from black people and make it safe and lame for white people on the way to the tub as well.

[VelvetViolator]

@Dayberry That you're still talking of "the black" and "the white" people shows us all in which

period of the 20th century you are rotting.

[2eelShmeal]

@johnlucas1 hahahaa!! Hey!

[YungMrMagic]

[TheStephanieQueen]

Ah, what a great day when with just the command of a few computer keys can land you back in time with James Brown. I only wish my husband would have lived long enough for youtube.

[VelvetViolator]

@TheStephanieQueen May he rest in peace !

[wwisely]

Superhuman James Brown vid!

[hippiekatet]

OMG, The front row audience look like they're either stoned or should be a Barry Manilow concert. Not even moving, clapping? I would have rushed the stage and dropped to my knees in the presence of the awesome Mr. Brown!

[dacoole]

THEY MUST HAVE HAD A LOT OF THAT FUNKY STUFF

[fatboy10001]

James Brown was the coolest man in the world hes so funky and groovy the is the bomb and the shit and blitz

[sprayone432]

[dkapone]

James displayed some real serious swagger back in what I call "The Moustache years". Like Warren Zevon said in "Werewolves of London", "his hair was perfect!". Truly the mold was broken.

[itisitsits]

[lee195457]

Man, this is nice and tight,I remember as a 16 years old drummer driving those jaming beats. Oh yeah!

[hinamauka]

Oh yeah! The driving beat just never quits. So tight!!

[rhspercussionistguy]

James was definitely a one-of-a-kind guy.

[motelcalifornia]

Wooooe! What happened to James' hair???

LOL

[meoget]

You know what? James Brown always seemed silly to me and I never really gave it a chance.

What a mistake. This is AMAZING!! This guy knew how to put on a show but the music is top quality as well.

[bolder2009]

@meoget Without James Brown there is no Funk, no Disco, no Afro-beat and other sub genres that where spawned from funk where the emphasis is on rhythm, such as early hip hop which was predominantly dance music, built from the grooves of funk and disco records. He is one of the most important figure in 20th century music. An innovator and pioneer of groove. When you consider who were the giants of 20th century music; Duke Ellington, George Gershwin, Miles Davis, etc, James Brown belongs there.

[bolder2009]

@meoget But you also have to consider the social-political significance of James Brown, and the stylistic influence he had over a generation which marched side by side with other revolutionaries of the era that saw America and its youth at odds with each other. At Motown, Berry Gordy sought to harmonise America and the rest of the world through the all embracing, colorless and soul stirring pop music derived from the roots of Gospel and Blues. But James was raw and said say it loud!

[bolder2009]

@meoget Bob Dylan once sang "The times they are a changing". And like Dylan and The Beatles, he helped to usher in those changing times by providing the soundtrack of a generation. By the time the world discovered him, he was already 'the hardest working man in show biz'. By 1968 he had arguably the tightest band, or perhaps more specifically, tightest rhythm section in the history of 20th century popular music. I say ARGUABLY cause some would point to Count Basie's big band of the swing era.

[TheSatanas666]

@bolder2009 the beatles? bob dylan? those take advantage of white stupid kids playin black music for them... do u even know muddy waters sonny boy etc dats the real thing

[bolder2009]

@TheSatanas666 Yes I know Muddy Waters and Sonny Boy, and that blues is the foundation of rock and much of American music. But its common knowledege that Dylan and The Beatles shaped aspects of popular culture in the 60's that still resonate today, just as its inarguable that James Brown was one of the forces of change that defined the times, alongside Motown, Sly & The Family Stone, Hendrix, etc.

[TheSatanas666]

@bolder2009 they dont change nothing for us, they just pre-fabricated pop music the beatles even use playback in their live gigs,they may introduce you as a white boy to some things, but we blacks know those stuff all the time and by the way hendrix and sly took their sound from johnny guitar watson ;)

[bolder2009]

@TheSatanas666 Firstly, I'm not a "White boy", so don't make assumptions about somebody on the internet who you don't know. That's just some advice for the future. Take it or leave it. Secondly, your going off the topic. I was making a point to another youtuber about the historical and cultural relevance of James Brown, whose impact in popular music is as significant as artists who are usually more acknowledged in the media and 'Rock' press, such as The Beatles and Bob Dylan.

[handal1973]

grill hamburger dancing ........

[thesxex]

It's not rare any more!

[ranchersam69]

how's it rare if it's on youtube?

[NinjaPantsWhatWhat]

I had to listen to this with the sound muted and I caught my head bobbing and my foot tapping cuz I could feel the music simply through his and the bands visual performance..... now that my friends is how all live music should be

[dannyknapp]

and they say Elvis was the king, bah !

[BigBallinStalin]

@dannyknapp Yes indeed, that moment at 1:54 gave me massive goosebumps.

[Kwilsonkx450]

@dannyknapp LOL no doubt.Elvis wanted the Jb's to play for him they were like nah we're good

[RockJay2NayMe]

@dannyknapp Elvis actually stole ((Hound Dog)), from woman name.. big mama thornton, when i found that out I WAS LIKE WTF!!!

[SwampDaddy7]

@dannyknapp Elvis ain't got anything on Bad Man Brown!

[UrlsGrrl54]

@dannyknapp Elvis had to steal the little bit of funk he had and it wasn't much. James' funk came from the SOUL, baby..... :)

[kukol]

@dannyknapp Elvis was KING...... but JB is GOD!
