[AzulValium]

[monkeyy992]

seems like maceo is the only one having fun lol

[xxxxx383]

看到沒!?人家玩音樂怎麼玩!

[stymie86]

Saw him in Trenton in "97 and thought the place was going to explode!!! One of the best shows I ever saw. If you get the chance,do youself a favor and don't miss it.

[TheSaxophonGuy]

Awesome contrast between his skin and his sax!! EPIC

[IssueNumber1]

I've never seen Maceo play anything other than a Brilhart Ebolin mouthpiece untill I saw this video. It looks like he is playing a Brilhart Personaline.

[ecomeuh]

This man is god.

[ecomeuh]

This man is god.

[JonnyLikesPie]

Jamal JT Thomas is an absolute machine on the drums

I was amazed at his stamina on this gig 15 yrs ago and he is still hammering it

[nolalou2]

Can't wait to see him at the New Orleans Jazz Fest on 4.4.2011

[Lysistrata8u]

I'm 28 years old, and I wanna be like Maceo when I grow up!

[joannahewson]

niiiiiiiiice

[paal2106]

Who's the drummer?

[askvepuojuugnim]

@paal2106 he's Jamal Thomas

[knightd12]

[MrRkbass]

Maceo're the best

[MrArtcampiglia]

[funkyflautist]

that is tight rhythm omg....

[100kns]

if you ain't moving to this, you are DEAD~~~! The phunk, the whole phunk and nuttin' but the PHUNK!

[doctafonk101]

IF THE BABIES LIKE THA FONK-UR DOIN' SUMTHIN' RIGHT!!

[DancingSpiderman]

His dry cleaner prolly just says "ick !!"

[morten4u]

I simply LOVE that sign he gives with his hand at 3.48-49 to tell the rest of the band to take a break while he and the drummer have some fun.

I'd give a lot to play in that band that knew each other so well that this kind of signs and tricks can be used.

Funk royalty!

[99Jaygreen]

WOOOOoooo!!!!

[marcojakko]

The kind of song that make you move even if u want to :)

[katmai539]

As we see on exactly 0:54 , Maceo's having a hard time keepin' the funk contained.

[rikfly]

Just funk! my soul is smiling

[rikfly]

Just funk! my soul is Smiling

[BrucknerMotet]

talk about up-tempo.  Relentless. Makes me breathless.

[iwannaberock]

my definition of funk begins with maceo. Who is on the drum ? sounds like john blackwell, but i'm not sure...

[Jqau]

They don't get any funkier than Maceo. And that's all there is to it.

[RXmusic4YOU]

DAMN!!!!!!!...MARCEO....KICKED IT ON THIS TUNE...MY MOUTH DROPPED OPEN....

[jjmsmusic]

That sax solo is INCREDIBLE.

[guigui944]

[lisa68811]

[Jonmsym]

[1thedrummerman]

The tightest version i ever heard. My band plays this. We're tryin to get like this!

[nettuno891]

E' straordinariamente bravo!!! O-mio-Dio! Ma quanto esalta poi dal punto 5.55 in cui rientra il basso!!!

[wordreet]

Woohoo!

Got my ticket to see Maceo this Friday at the Exeter Phoenix in Devon UK. It's not the biggest venue, so I aint gonna miss a note! B¬)

[TheTrumpetboy91]

I saw Maceo Parker friday night. Best concert of my life. So funky

[ostrichspeed]

lol when he goes offstage i bet there's a flood as soon as he takes off his jacket

anyhow monster performances here

[eddymasao]

You know what.

I met Maceo and Candy at the same time in Tokyo. Sax clinic in a horn maker store. He is greaaaaaaat Musician. He played piano for Candy calling D then, F or something and give me a time to take a photo with me. UMMMM, so Happy and Funky. I went down his live in Blue Note Tokyo wonderful night.

[funkiphusband]

What website has current touring dates for Maceo & his band? Thx! :)

[wordreet]

@funkiphusband Sorry I can't advise you on that. But I can tell you that I have my ticket to see him on July 9th at the Exeter Phoenix in Devon UK, and they still have some left!

B¬)

[raboofje]

@funkiphusband on his own site :)

[shishyupal]

That hell of a frenetic bass, such a tsunami groove

[Gluecks]

ich versteh nich was mir der neger sagen will.

[planetxpress]

@Gluecks :

Dann muß das Weißbrot eben Englisch lernen :-)

Und vielleicht auch noch Deutsch...

[PDTchannel]

What is the name of the keyboard player? He is amazing, I saw the band this week in Innsbruck.

[KarlLeroyMD]

This must be one of the tightest clips on the whole of Youtube..it doesn't get much cooler than that...

[zothia]

i think i woulda passed out if i played his solo

[h41brown11]

This Band is Tight as H**L

[mogglie]

James Brown might be the godfather of funk. But Maceo, man!, he is the emperor of funk.

[wordreet]

God damn! Cool takes a back seat right here!! It'a a heatwave!!

Wooooooooooooooooo!!

B¬)

[macksun]

of course Maceos band was tight. James Brown used to fine them if anyone was outta step or tune

[KwameNewton]

Yeah, haha, I was watching a documentary about that when I was in the 4th grade and I was like "I never want to be a musician!" but I guess I can't say that anymore! Is that sweat or spit dripping?

[meaksam]

Damn that drummers tight!!

[owlcu]

What's amazing is how disciplined the band is, especially the drummer. No wasted motion.

[WuTangSword36]

@owlcu Yes it is, look at his former drummer (Jamal Thomas) play. They both have the openhanded style and barely move.

[funkyinsomniac]

maceo please come to austria,

please

[wickedy081]

Monday 12th April

Treibhaus, Innsbruck

AUSTRIA

[DemetrioMarcus]

The best (of those who are still alive, you know what i mean) funk master!

Come to Russia, Maceo!!!

[tariksba]

Maceo king of funk....!!!

10*....

[blackbear2136]

tobid3 the reason Jamal plays open style is that he's a natural Lefty,he's left handed playing drums set up for a right handed drummer.

[purplepopel]

David Garibaldi is the drummer of Tower of Power.

Im sure, hes busy enough with that, and cannot play at another band with that niveau.

And, man. David is white.

That drummer here is black :D

[frantiskan]

david garibaldi ??? :D i guess its not him :D

[lokiop345]

anyone know who the drummer is in his band?

[Francislikesdrums]

jamal thomas in this video

[fayespringuel]

His name is Jamal Thomas, great drummer.

[d4nowar]

This man is a genius.

[MartaBtrp]

Cool!

[FunkyFootballFan]

seen him many times live, but this is one of the best pieces ever heard of him . Tightest Band ever!

[persini]

freaking groovy

[lucaskarq]

..sublime!

[thegubbie]

I saw him play last year in Sydney, and he came out on stage wearing a piano key neck tie.... Seriously the only person on the planet that is so funky that he make a piano key neck tie look cool.

[LetsJamFunk]

hey was in sydney? omg ...

[micky11d]

maceo is raping the shit out of the sax, fucking briliant

[Wizeguy0]

is the drummer David Garbaldi?

[onotarh]

no way... david garibaldi is white... but i believe the drummer is omar hakim.

[drumkit95]

No, this drummer isn't David Garibaldi or Omar Hakim. His name is Jamal Thomas ;-)))

[winnerbaby44]

drumkit95 is right

jamal thomas has been the drummer for maceo parker for a while now ;)

[marciagroh]

Here you can listen all the geniality of the black music in US. Just amazing I can't stop getting goosebumps all over my body....wowowowowowo

[danlooo23]

this mans are crazieahhhhhh very good

i liked master

[pretorious700]

Maceo is no JB, but who is?

He does a damn good job here, though.

[thegubbie]

Does anyone know where I can buy any Maceo DVD's that are compatible to play in Australia? Thanks.

[wickedy081]

There's a greeat DVD called "My first name is Maceo" that you can find on alot of online retailers. not sure about the format thing tho...

[thegubbie]

This is the hippest thing on youtube by a mile. I cant help but keep coming back to watch it.... Awesome.

[saxtdc]

Awesome !

[salmosch]

what is the title of this song,please?

[karuzawa]

There Was A Time" of James Brown

[geepikee]

[tiny2love]

simply beutifulllllll

[Reckoning888]

I have never seen Maceo's band before, i picked Maceo up when he guested a Dave Matthews Band concert. Very talented and he sure brings the groove into this aswell.

[petitdieu]

maceo is talented? yeah...like angelina jolie is "kinda pretty".

Maceo is funk of the highest quality

[jaykay2003]

@petitdieu

Maceo isn't just talented, he's the man. Jolie is just an average actress.....

[ihasmario]

@petitdieu Jolie isn't half as pretty as Maceo is funky.

[faunbudweis]

@petitdieu - just saw them in Cork, Maceo is one of the greatest

[TheDoudidou]

@petitdieu

Don't compare him to Angelina jolie please! ^^'

T'es français nan?

[Duarfunk]

8:01 ...that is amazing.

[LetsJamFunk]

Lol you mean how it falls out of sync?

[Duarfunk]

No, although that is kinda funny, but i just love how they kick straigh back in...it sounds so tight.

[chiccomontisano]

n° 1

[Duarfunk]

I'm seeing them live in may!

[denisax]

The Best / Brasil

[denisax]

Muito bom / Florianópolis - SC/Brasil

[quienesxu]

Unbelievable, breathtaking. Maceo forever!

[ReginaGarber]

He is FREAKING AMAZING!!!! What energy! Truly amazing. I also loved seeing him with Prince a few years ago. I looooove his live SOul Power performance. God bless this man.

[vaskekv]

AVE root funk..maceo yeah

[kxPopsDude]

i love you for posing this

POPPER for LIFE

GOD bless and keep it coming

[Erlanga]

I'm normal listening at Rock, or something like that, but this wasn't that bad? It was almost awesome ;D

[ddoggycanada]

i heard that he uses a selmer mark vi gold plated

[saxgomez]

who doesn't?

[Nosies199]

That drum/sax break was AMAZING

[bobfunk11]

Just ..... the best!!

[peterete]

Hello,

Do you know what is the trademark and model of his Alto Sax? YAS-21, Selmer France.... thnks

[saxgomez]

check his website, his setup is in the FAQ's

[yiyumandy]

muy bueno very good ...excelente

[vaskekv]

yeahhh

[broknsaint]

Woooo awesome! Hey any1 knows which mouthpiece is he using? =O

[clubagogo1234]

The mouthpiece is MEYER, one of the worlwide best from ever. It is excellent for all kind of music. In the early 70`s LARSEN steel were right for the rock and soul, but so much difficult for keep de tunes an notes.Today are not in use. By. Willy. Saxo from Argentina.

[ihasmario]

it says it on his site, cbf going there since im capped.

[squif7]

my god... O_O

[SendOout]

GODNESS!

[dahtoy2003]

One word AWESOME!

[soduno]

Drummer is Will Kennedy? Cool Music, JB God

[jaretlafoudre]

Drummer is Jamal Thomas ;)

[duskyliability]

One of Maceo's best solos in the beginning

[souliluna]

Lo vi en Granada,España y fue una de las cosas que siempre recordare en mi vida, al igual que Pee Wee Ellis.. Puuro funky , puro ritmo. Por desgracia iba a ver a James Brown en Almeria y suspendio el concierto.. lo siento ya nunca lo podre ver. Pero me queda su musica

[dojufitz]

Nice....

[wilmerrob]

OMFG!!!! Never heard anything like this...

[EseCresta098]

blow macio!blow ya horn!!!

[wakarimasen71]

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm just what I needed , danced with Mr Maceo at 15 , still the highlight xxx

[ihasmario]

fuck this is tight.

[kasavubu]

Amazing bass groove

[philburrell]

Maceo Parker and Fred Wesley, the backbone of the JB's

[duskyliability]

Thats not Fred Wesley...

[SoulTooSoul]

Maceo Parker continues in the James Brown tradition, to play that funky, gritty soul. This band is tight and full of fire. Whatever he lacks in vocals, is more than compensated for in their instrumentals.

[KarlheinzSchelker]

Even though Maceo isn't James Brown, he still has a presence and charisma of his own!

[bjoerngraa]

Anyone who knows what the drummer's name is?

[sangoor22]

Jamal Thomas

[bjoerngraa]

Thanks :)

[Honikena]

Prague 17. august...i am looking forward to his show!

[hapzap13]

It's getting funky in here!!! The funk master and king of soul.

[Funkenhm]

[Rottaler]

Brillard Eboline with Vandoren Java reeds.

[ml8sj]

oui bec brillard 5 etoiles,anche vandoren 3,5. sax alto selmer mark6 mk le super top!

[sterzisback]

Even his finger pointing (1:55) got funk. Shucks!

[24402989123456]

[alias3t]

[alias3t]

[jor99912]

Surprisingly good vocalization by Maceo.

Reminiscent of Little Jr Walker and the All Stars.

[Bolewsky]

GROOVIE!!!!!

[SLIMandtheTANK]

JAMS!!!!!!!

[Nordyzz]

Oh yeah, one day i'll be able to play like Maceo Parker.

[Nordyzz]

[likeadrumstick]

[sarahkheart]

[FunkyBala]

Maceo plays a Selmer Mark VI, (which he has had goldplated) and a Brillard Eboline mouthpiece. He uses Vandoren Java 3 and a half reeds.

[tgd10]

Damn, that was hot! I think I soiled myself! HaHa

[EdgarDeSola]

Simplemente arrechisiiimo!!

[saksofonista]

Maceo plays here probably a Selmer ref 54.

[Selmer2006]

no goldplated mark 6

[slammyjammy38]

Hell Yaaaaaaaaah!
