I miss you James Brown,your music will always live with me. I was a fan when I was 10 years in 1964 and still am. I saw you 10 times and you were always a great act,I miss you.You will always live.
The young black woman standing in the crowd, from 09:09, short hair, with a fur collar, hypnotized by the performance, is incredibly charming. Very beautiful woman watching music history in the making.
Thanks, this footage is hard to see. I wonder what became of those dancers? I saw this so long ago, we were able to rent it on 16mm and the TNT show at Club 57 in NYC. Brown was amazing in NYC in Feb '82 when I saw him. 4 hours of mania. Uprated and shared.
@PaulDA2000 lolz. that's totally a wig. most black artists wore wigs in this time i.e. Diana Ross, both Ike and Tina Turner, and lo and behold james brown. james' hair never looked like that in his life. that hair is too caucasian looking to be black hair. compare the look of his background singers. they have ironed hair, and then look at brown's. it's not natural black hair. look at his vid for 'there was a time'. his hair there is ironed, but this shit is obviously a wig ...
@SullenMorbius Listen idiot: I am telling you it is NOT a wig. He had his hair done every day after and before the show. Before his style for 'There Was a Time', he wore his hair like that. Stop talking about things you are completely ignorant of.
@PaulDA2000 Lol. The fact that you resort to name-calling shows you're on shaky ground. The only way you can get hair like that is if you blow dry it to feather it. Show me one black man that can make that happen on his hair? Compare his hair w his back-up singers. Also, tell me one vid other than this one that has the bounce and feathered look in his hair ...
@SullenMorbius - Listen J-E-R-K. the reason I'm calling you names is because you are an imbecile. James Brown never wore wigs. He had his hair styled from the beginning. If you don't want to believe that from me, who knows more about him than almost anyone else, then that proves you are a bigger idiot than i first suspected.
@PaulDA2000 Wrong. You call me names because you're insecure and frustrated. People get frustrated because they are dissatisfied (overall). I challenged you to name one other time where Brown's hair looked liked this, and, of course, you possess no answer. Glossing over questions also happens when people have no answer (which you don't). Therefore, you have no credibility. Simple logic, really ...
@SullenMorbius Thats not a wig, it seems like you have no understanding of black peoples hair by the way you say Show me one black man that can make that happen on his hair, just like back and white people have different kind of hair, almost every black person have different hair. and my hair can do that, also you would have to perm your hair to get it like that
@issacisrael What's so difficult to admit that he's wearing a wig? It's not taking anything away from the guy. Many black artists of that time were packaged to look more white (mainstream). I suppose you think Little Richard's hair was natural, too? Sorry. It wasn't. What Brown wears here is what the clean-cut white boys fashioned at the time. This look is feathered blow-drying. Look how it even bounces. Doesn't work like that on blacks. Show me one time where Brown's hair looks similar.
@issacisrael Also, look at the vid for "Night Train" live 1965. His hair would have to start somewhere around mid-forehead to be real--lol, another hilarious example of poor wig decisions ...
@SullenMorbius once again you show your ignorance. what do you really know about how black peoples hair work? you can do that with a perm, flat iron, or a hot comb, its really not hard.
@SullenMorbius just because his hair was covering most his forehead doesnt mean it started mid forehead, it only means it was long enough for it to cover his forehead in the style he had it, right now i have braids in my head, if i take all those braids out my hair would stand up on my head
@issacisrael The vid you're talking about is so painfully a wig that you'd have to have an agenda to claim it's not. A flat iron does not make afro hair stand up and feather back like that. You're in denial. Every other time you see Brown w straightened hair, it's w a flat iron, and it falls flat or waves inward. His hair, his whole life, never resembled the caucasian hair he had in '65. NEVER. Still waiting for an example from you of when Brown's hair reacted to treatment in the same way ...
@SullenMorbius im not saying he flat ironed it, what you dont seem to understand is when you use any kind of hair treatment chemicals you can make it as ''caucasian'' as you want it. the longer i keep the chemicals in my hair the straighter it would get
@issacisrael I give you examples, but you give me words. You can't make black hair 'as caucasian as you want'. That's a pipe dream. You can iron it, do whatever it is you want w it, but you're not going to make it like caucasian hair. I challenge you again. Tell me once where Brown's hair resembles anything of what his hair was in '65. Another challenge: Look at Brown's hair in Shindig '65 "Night Train" performance and say w a straight face that that isn't a wig. That's my challenge to you ...
@issacisrael Lol. Why would I be "hatin" on the guy's hair?! I merely made the observation about how he could keep his wig on w all his dancing. You just have some sort of agenda regarding black hair. If you look at Little Richard's hair, it's the exact same styled-wig that Brown wears here and for his Shindig performance. It was the style. Also, you gave me no examples of James' hair ever resembling his wigs of mid 60s to which I got no reply from you thus indicating your lack of understanding.
@SullenMorbius i obviously didnt care much about the grammar, your just a waste of time, i really should just delete all my comments so no one can waste their time watching me waste my time trying to explain something so simple to you.
@issacisrael Nah, if you erase your shit, it should be on the grounds that you can't spell (you did it again, by the way), and your assertions are laughable ...
@SullenMorbius James is NOT wearing a wig. It's called a pompadour. James wore that style for years. Check out Living in America. It's the same, only the hairline has receded a little. He never wore a wig in his life. Unlike the posers we have to cringe at today, he was the original badass. And badasses don't wear wigs.
Man please. This was 1964 and it was a show! There were many performers but James had that heat back then. He was like the Prince of the '60's. This is near the end of the set The Stones came out and Mick did his thing, but how do you feel putting those provisions in the rider and looking at the crowd and this cat performing thinking, "Damn...."
I don't think The Rolling Stones mad a good decision on letting this GREAT MAN open for them... That's like Letting Michael Jackson open for Soujla Boy (Even though that would've NEVER happend)..... Long story short, this was perfection.
i'm not even going to waste time with disparaging comments on Bieber, Gaga or any of the other so called entertainers of today. Just one thing can be said here. This is talent, pure and simple. No one did it better. RIP Godfather, you're sorely missed.
BRUNO MARS okay, this guy Bruno has been performing/impersonating the greats Michael J, , Elvis, Prince, and James B,. since he was a baby. So does anyone think he is the next best thing or reincarnate? I am a little skeptical, but damn, he is writing hits, singing, dancing, and playing intsruments. And plus he's about to blow up on this song with Beyonce, JayZ and Kanye coming out. So what yall think????
i don't think the stones demanded to close the show, it was planned that they would headline and everyone would come on the stage at the end and they went along with it.. keith richards later said it was the biggest mistake they ever made.
Love love love this performance. It is the most riveting, high energy performance that can come out of any artist, then and now. James Brown is truly an Icon of the Ages..
@jazzmanchgo - I also read that he said he's danced faster than that many times lol. Mr. Brown was the greatest entertainer in history but he kind of said what he wanted to when he wanted to. I tend to believe he's danced faster than that many times. He was 33 when this was filmed and there really is no known footage of him from 1956-1962 when he was still in his twenties. (Born 1933).
The Rolling Stones demanded to close the show, and they had to follow this. Bad move on their part. As dynamic as Mick and crew were, they were outmatched, and Brown dragged out it as long as he could, absolutely exhausting the audience. Still makes me laugh.
@ffranzos The same thing happened at Knebworth in England. In their home country, they demanded to close, and Lynyrd Skynyrd blew them out of the water.
@ffranzos Wrong. Filmmaker Steve Binder had to talk Jagger and the Stones into following James Brown... "In interviews, Keith Richards of The Rolling Stones has claimed that choosing to follow Brown & The Famous Flames was the biggest mistake of their careers, because no matter how well they performed, they could not top him. In a web-published interview, Binder takes credit for persuading the Stones to follow James Brown, and serve as the centerpiece for the grand finale..."
@ffranzos the exact opposite is actually how it went. If you read the liner notes with the DVD you would find the show's producer told the Stones they were going to close. They asked to be put anywhere but after James Brown. The producer had them close anyway. James was so impressed with their performance he greeted Mick onstage after the performance and shook his hand. A week later the Stones joined James onstage at the Apollo. Just wanted to clear that up.
@ffranzos Rolling Stone's History of Rock & Roll, I think it is, wrote that Mick Jagger actually was fascinated by James Brown, once just sat in JB's dressing room staring at him preparing for a show and wanted to be him. The next line went "And he sure as hell wanted to be him the night they had to follow James Brown on The TAMI Show."
@ffranzos I stand corrected. And I thank all of you for letting me know. I would rather be corrected and have the right info than continue to be wrong! 8)
@ffranzos did u even listen to the rolling stones performance??The crowd? james was definetly a huge act to close for, almost too huge as u saw from this outstanding performance! so in a sense he had the crowd drinking from his fruit punch bowl of soul , funk and rock n roll. but the Stones had so little making so much! James brown had a full fuckin jazz band with him! Horns and all!
@ffranzos the stones had a simple jazz set up on the drums, 2 guitars, bass and Mick. but i partially agree with u, , rown was the vet at this thing, he should uv closed but he didnt!! stones had balls to do that, especially to the king of soul! they tokk that whole fuckin punch bowl
WOOOOOW THEY ARE EXCELLENT ! JAMES BROWN FOOT WORK IS AMAZING,ITS INCREDIBLE HOW HE MOVES HIS FEETS...I C Y MICHAEL JACKSON ADMIRED HIM...GREAT PERFORMANCE !! R.I.P JB & MJ
JB hit the floor so much he got dust on his pants, (he probably wasn't aware of it, he was such a perfectionist). In later performances, he would dust off his pants and smile.
amazing dancers, amazing musicians and amazing singer- killer combination :D

@ffranzos the stones had a simple jazz set up on the drums, 2 guitars, bass and Mick. but i partially agree with u, , rown was the vet at this thing, he should uv closed but he didnt!! stones had balls to do that, especially to the king of soul! they tokk that whole fuckin punch bowl

JB hit the floor so much he got dust on his pants, (he probably wasn't aware of it, he was such a perfectionist). In later performances, he would dust off his pants and smile.
