[IkeDyson71]

@Kell1295

If you click the link in the description box, you can hear his concert album "Revolution Of The Mind", that contains the stuff he did in this video!

That site will make you watch a 30 second advert first, though! But I posted the whole album there!

[mimimusic570]

This should have been played on BLAST at the Occupy Wall St. Protest :D

[BIGPHILL]

thanks for responding, I need to find the original clip...(or one without all the watermarks)...I saw this clip on another james brown special ...I think they showed a piece of this on the "night james saved boston" dvd.

[BIGPHILL]

what show was this recorded on?......was it a tv special?

[IkeDyson71]

@BIGPHILL

My understanding is that this was filmed in Canada. But I have no details on that. Sorry.

[Phrixphrox]

Oh. My. Word. Fabulous. Just fabulous...

[TheFunkSpider]

Those horns that come in at 0:57 ..whoooaaaahh

[tonyjrify]

@TheFunkSpider one horn was off on that riff. check it out. you willl catch my brother. good ear.

[keleization]

IL GROOVE IN PERSONA.

[nastyblock]

Hype man on deck lol...

[cidedwards31a]

my favorite JB band, frm '71-'72,i assume this is the band on'' revolution of the mind", his best album IMO..i love it when they break it down and go''we dont' need etc"..also the tune 'escapism' with the "where you from?" chat with the band was classic on that album.

[JOHNROBERTCRUZ]

AS LONG AS PEOPLE ARE DANCING TO MUSIC ON THE PLANET EARTH. THERE WILL ALWAYS BE PEOPLE DANCING TO THE SOUND OF JAMES BROWN !

AND ALSO TO SOUL BROTHA NUMBER 2 BOBBY BRYD !

[DjDedan]

1:33 one of the greatest breaks of all time...

[darkiuby1]

OoOOH maaaaaan !! T-T

I wanna dance right now !!!!!

[ponderation]

pure, unadulterated funk!!

[dlp3rdlegend]

hey iam just wondering could you make a 10 min loop of get involed with out the other two songs in this video cuz the hons of the G I is just too powerfull to resist from dancing cuz when i got done dancing from jb's g i i went to wash up and when i graped the soap jumped out my hand and start dancing and the soap said iam too funky from james brown

[8bobthebuilder]

one of my fav all time JB performances...check out those horns!! :) Imagine listening to this live.

[TheChanning62]

@8bobthebuilder after that performance in 71, they can't say that he wasn't the greatest entertainer of all times!!! who has done it better? NO ONE !!!!

[Dmaccabees]

C L A  S S I C!!!

[sollykim]

Is there a recorded version of this song with the new horns?

[jimy0803]

@sollykim yep, there is a recorded version of this. it's on JB's "Revolution of the Mind" cd which was live as well.

[IkeDyson71]

@jimy0803

And you will find I have posted those tracks in my videos - with my enhanced audio mix.

[sollykim]

wow, so amazing.

[1220amsoulradio]

the 1970s, the Fresno West Coast Relays, and KLIP 1220 AM Soul Radio....where people got involved...and JB was blaring away on the radio.

[45triode]

one of their best live performances, even in this slightly ridiculous circus arena...

[HOM300RapClass]

THEY ARE FUNKING SOOOOO HARRRRD!!!!!!!!! Thanks for posting...RIP Mr. Brown, still Soul Brother Number One!!!

[lunny74]

This is amazing. Whos the other singer with JB ?

[IkeDyson71]

@lunny74

That is Mr. Bobby Byrd, who unfortunately passed away in the autumn of 2007. Will send you one of his tunes...

[Lar112]

I wore that Revolution of the mind album out with this version of Get involved. I remember growing up in NY and he would come to the Apollo and just tear the place down.

[PaulDA2000]

I do like 'Never Get Enough', it was odd and funny to hear James Brown as the background singer.

[PaulDA2000]

The new music he added to 'Get Involved' from 0:56 to 1:34 is better than the actual song to me!

[IkeDyson71]

@PaulDA2000

Yes, and that is exactly why I say "Revolution Of The Mind" is his greatest ever album!

[IkeDyson71]

@PaulDA2000

How do you like Byrd's tune "Never Get Enough"?

[cavaleer]

@PaulDA2000 Yes it definitely was a brilliant addition. Takes this song to an entirely different level. I don't know if James did it or a member of the band but that section opened so many doors of possibilities with this On The One Funk format, I was floored, simply laid out. I don't think anyone picked up where he left off though. You can't do these things with electronics. You have to have horns, live, real horns. And I agree the rest of the song is a letdown after that.

[8bobthebuilder]

@PaulDA2000 When those horns come in at 0:56 and I heard it for the first time I couldn't believe it! I stil listen to this over and over and I never get sick of it.

[comedylaff]

@8bobthebuilder It's like they can breathe under water for three minutes solid, or somethin'!

[funknowledgy]

At about 2:15, check out how JB took that coat off without droppin' the mike stand.

[ImCockToasten]

Funky as a mutha fucka!

[gasselino]

james brown beste !!!

[mj99a]

exactly what i was looking for soul power live with bobby byrd!!! nice. thanks!

[8bobthebuilder]

Good to know that the vid's back - one of the best JB videos on youtube --i can feel it the music in my veins.

[IkeDyson71]

@goldsut

Yes, I deleted my earlier posting of this and posted this one once I got new software to process my vids for "widescreen"! Looks better without the black borders at the sides!

[ricnros]

@IkeDyson71 Is this available on DVD?

[IkeDyson71]

@ricnros

Well, you wouldn't find it on an OFFICIAL dvd release, but you may find that some of the collectors have it on their lists, and might put it on a DVD for you, but this is not available on dvd in any store...
