[exkeyboardplaya504]

This is MY BABY!  My DREAMGIRL!

[vivik972]

This audience doesnt give anything what is the meaning of going to a concert if there's no sharing just put your cd in your stereo next time and give me your ticket"S"

[gemimagic38]

@vivik972 Thats prob why she said she wont be offened At All like a set of Dummies sitting there...

[caliBornbEauty]

she smiles while she sings...so beautiful

[TheDaddyMack1]

What is the bass player's name again? Dude is #Real!!

[20sanfoe]

@TheDaddyMack1 Adam Blackstone

[TheDaddyMack1]

@20sanfoe Thanks.

[PauliePaul2525]

Jill Scott and Sade <3 all day long

[IzzytheApocalypse]

PER- FUCKING -FECTION

[emanihsan1]

ahhh Jilly..cant wait to see u in london 30th nov

[20sanfoe]

@emanihsan1 That day made my year

[CynthiaNicolePhotos]

lol even she tried to get that dead ass audience to liven up with "If you choose to sing along i wont be offended at all" Man I woulda been standin up for Jill sangin my ass off with her!

[IzzytheApocalypse]

@CynthiaNicolePhotos Hmm I know exactly what you mean why they bullshitin'

[nofretzDW]

bass guitar at 3:21 and 4:12

[nofretzDW]

bass guitar at 3:21

[JordyJ07]

i think jill should just release all her alums as double discs, 1 studio version & 1 live version

[BassHead2k11]

TOO MUCH SEXY!!!

[SmilingFacesDoLie]

The guitarist is fine, but on the record I believe it's a keyboard solo. Jill should have put the keyboardist on tour with her. Run tell that!!!

[SmilingFacesDoLie]

@SmilingFacesDoLie Oh, Oh, Oh, my bad! That's the legendary George Duke on keyboards. No Mr. Duke not going on tour. George is impossible to duplicate. Great song!!!

[eaglesfan1999]

THIS IS WHAT YOU CALL REAL MUSIC!!!!! Not tat Hip-Hop garbage. This is where is at rite here

[bowowciara]

@eaglesfan1999 YOU AINT NEVA LIED LOL LOVE HER

[chj2]

@eaglesfan1999 With all due respect, (and I LOVE Jill, too) it's RAP that's garbage, NOT Hip Hop. Know the definition of both, so that you can know the difference. Peace.

[lavert1970]

The 11 dislikes can eat dicks!!!! Why would you dislike Jill Scott??? Her breasts make it automatic "like" even if you don't like the music! LOL!

[soilsminor11]

bass player is using some kind of pedal.... i see his foot working.. i wonder what it is.. maybe a waa pedel or just volume

[lousehr]

Drums and bass are killing this song....ridiculous!

Big shout out to all the band members on this gig,music is beyond perfect.

[noops76]

nevermind..i don't think that's poogie bell.... they are awesome regardless



[noops76]

is this the poogie bell band backing her up? they are incredible....

[1107jp]

She is coming to StL and I am dying to see her... great voice.. a poet!

[jarrett687]

I was at this recording. I loved ever moment..... and got a chance to take pixx with her at the end. LOVE IT.....

[TheElyssia2anthony]

what 10 idiots don't know real music!

[Oshunlife]

Look at what the angels have brought us <3

[4udoboyz]

jill scott is over 10 ppl's head...they must listen to beyonce'

[IzzytheApocalypse]

Cause she is the truth and she is so real and I love the waaaaay that she makes me feel, and if i am a reflection of herrrr than I must be fly cause her light it shines so bright but little does she know

[TheAnnafisher]

exceptional! 

[mysaana1]

I love Jill she is the truth

[drumforlife723]

Thumbs up if you find it pretty much impossible to not groove to this kind of music!

[truth594]

thumbs up if you like thick women and curly afros ....natural aint it

[kiaunalove12]

Reeaal music

[nemoism]

Just amazing!!! Love this song, love Jill, awesome!!

[Cavalierslbjmj23]

Man with a line up like Adam Blackstone and George Spanky Mccurdy you got some good music going through your ears at all times!!

[stratispherical191]

when was this concert???

[OnlyStephan]

@stratispherical191 it was on VH1 Soul a few years ago ..in '07

[zee339]

Nine dislikers don't know the way.

[IzzytheApocalypse]

@zee339 Why ...NO HOW... can you dislike Jill Scott

[zee339]

@IzzytheApocalypse i like Jill Scott. I'm not one of the nine

[funone2no]

Who is that on the Drums he is Bad I would not expect nothing less from Jill!

[nurikara]

DAMN! Even while speaking/reminiscing she's a joy to listen to. When you have timbre&phrasing like Jill's you can cough and sneeze and still be musical.

[36andfit]

Agree with ALL the people who don't understand the 8 dislikes..... WHAT?? She is incredibly talented, her lyrics come from such a personal place and she sings with her heart. One of the few performers who sound BETTER LIVE (every performance is different). A TRUE ARTIST and so beautiful!!!!!!! BTW I am a white girl from the suburbs and she is my favorite. She gives me chills when she sings God given talent.

[Timario007]

8 dislikes u fag ass punk made assholes dnt kno good music if it shitted out ya kids

[11sheni]

The Lioness speaks.......Thank GOD for polyurethane !!!!!!!

[lovesmusik1]

Bass player?

[sasha111156]

The 8 who pressed the dislike button need to listen to her song "Hate on Me"! Real talk!

[hellooben]

this is the type of music that makes life so much easier after you've listened to it..

[watchitww1]

"Lonely whenever you're around": been there b4. That means the person is either useless, lacking substance or just plain not living up their purpose with you.

Great song btw.

[watchitww1]

How could 8 ppl dislike? Crazy fools. LOL

She's the best in the game.

[paulxmg]

adam blackstone ..and spanky the best mix ..after thaddeus and spanky lol

[vawnalex]

I JUST WANNA RUN UP ON THAT BASS PLAYER AND SLAP THE TASTE OUTA HIS MOUTH AND SCREAM IN HIS FACE, "DO IT AGAIN PLEASE!" lol. Lawd that boy is the reason why somebody came up with the word "shysnits"

[brownsugarsweet90]

@vawnalex LOL!!!!

[vawnalex]

@brownsugarsweet90 ok girl, Isnt he sweet. You know that part where she takes that break before the verse "4.30 cant wait to get home..." ? Yikes! I was like what is he DOING!? It was just so funky. I could listen to him by his self. Although, I love this whole ensemble together. That are really smoking

[getonmylvlson]

[missmochashake]

Extradinary and Magnificent solo artist in this era. Jill Scott reminds me so much of the late Minnie Rippton in poetry songs and they both know how to keep there audience thrilled and excited. Thanks for sharing.

[mrkidblack]

I am tossing between this version, Live in Paris and Dave Chappelle's Block Party. All 3 are different but so fierce within themselves. No matter how you slice it, Jilly from Philly has to be one the meanest vocalist out there right now. So beautiful, inside and out, with that powerful voice.

[israel5959]

The dude that broke her heart back in the day was a damn fool to leave..

[Gbeans10]

@israel5959 the dude who broke mine is a damn fool to

[meNmybass92]

dude on bass is ridiculous..hot band!!!

[SlyHobbit]

Absolutely. Drop dead sexy woman, too.

[skugl23]

What a pretty woman! Gosh.

[ucjamaican]

This woman! Why is she so got damn fly?!?! God bless the day she was discovered, or rather the day she MADE SURE she was discovered, haha. She is an inspiration!

[drbisquit]

This is absolutely THE BEST version of Is It the Way! Damn that band is sick!

[djalternegro]

@drbisquit no it is not

the best version is the one she did live for dave chapelle's block party. that was on fire. sorry. THAT was the best version.

[drbisquit]

Oooooo.....I may actually have to agree with you on that one....yea, that one was pretty good....

[caioton]

SHE´S SOOO SWEET!

[Choclongleggz]

Jill Scott is the most soothing and sensual female vocalist on tthe charts... She has that deep soul stirring rhythms that set your entire everything at ease! Wishing her and her fam only the best and continued blessings! She is so awesome!

[onana16]

@Choclongleggz u r so right she the voice of an angel and the face of one... I love her

[smoton2]

@Choclongleggz  I KNOW IT I LOVE HER!!!

[imhere117]

@Choclongleggz You aint lying about that, she's the most soulful female singer of our time.

[JWoods1980]

Spank and Adam Blackstone on bass classic

[hudsonbry710]

Was spank playing for her before, while, or after he played with tye tribbett?

[pb0o6]

before i think. pretty sure but not positive.

[YBGrind]

That bass riff at the beginning of the second verse of The Way and that keyboard riff at the end of Jill's speech right before the song starts.....WHOOO!!!! Arrangements off the chain!!! First class musicianship! Love it!

[frhodes2]

Jill Scott is soooo soulful!!!!!

[thescooter2009]

you can keep the skinny broads love me some jill scott.

[RA1J1N89]

I wish we went to the same highschool or something... I woulda NEVER let this one get away... goodness :-\

[mscareerwoman]

Jill scott makes you appreciate music all the more! She pulls you into what she is singing about. You can relate, understand, and feel her.

[msboykin222]

Bless You! Jill besides my man u the only one that can relax me frm a hard day of work.
