  • too good for any words .....if i was a contestent on american idol id sing any maze song to the fullest !! why are the best artists always underground? jean carne,marlena shaw ,teena marie ,i dont get it ...confused .com.

  • If you're over 35 and have never seen Maze LIVE, your life really ain't sh*t!!!

  • man its ironic seeing ur family members in this video from back in the day...looks like the Zulu Ball last year. They rocked that bitch!

  • SAVERNE CARTER WAS THERE BABBEEEEEEEE

  • I miss "June Bug"...R.I.P my brother; yeah we're gonna do that Maze tribute!!!

  • I love Frankie & Maze. This is a beautiful song. I just love to see them perform. They are so underrated!!! BTW [McKinley "June Bug" Williams RIP 9/03/2011]. Thanks for informing us genobibb.

  • Asain keyboardist??  YEYUH!!!

  • 1:59 It's Cedric the Entertainer!

  • this is good music

  • the video is great!

  • Brilliant!

  • not quite george benson but close

  • @mareikura20 Frankie's much more better and more successful while putting in the same amount of time as George has. The only thing George has that he doesn't is a grammy. But you are entitled to your opinion

  • When artist where "REAL ARTIST" Frankie Bev is soooo Sexy to me, he could come to bed with that hat on it wouldn't even be a problem...lmao!

  • yo damn thats crazy, rip junebug. solid contributor to great music that is Maze. all soul flags at half mast for junebug

  • SOUL, PURO SOUL

  • I seen them in Chattanooga,TN Sept 2 2011 what a show im a Sir Charles fan but i love Maze. RIP JUNEBUGG may the LORD bless your spirit can't wait 2 meet you. Frankie didn't play the guitar here only keyboard on 1 song. The show ended and started back up 4 2hrs 45mins we got our monies WORTH. Plus Jay Lamont is a funny character.

  • Tghis is rare footage of Frankie playing guitar. Does he play in concert at all anymore?  Just wondering.

  • Rest in peace McKinley "June Bug" Williams, Frankie Beverly's best friend of 40+ years. He died yesterday (September 3, 2011). He is the one to Frankie's right with the black shirt on. He is also the one saying at the beginning of this video. "Look here New Orleans, let's Feel the feeling way up there y'all c'mon"

  • @genobibb Frankie must feel a great loss without his right hand man. I did when my friend died oof 40 + years also.

  • @genobibb Actually, June-Bug is on left side (black shirt, white pants and eyeglasses) - playing cowbell and percussion. The one on the right is Roame Lowry on congas. Couple of my friends recently went to June-Bug's funeral

  • @solesirching73 you need to re-read my comment, I said the "June Bug" is to Frankie's right, which is our left looking at it from the computer. Brother Roame is to Frankie's left and our right. Those two originals have been in their same position throughout the history of the band

  • I was blessed to see Frankie & Maze back in the 70's in Oakland. They were awesome. I'm so happy that they stil perform for the younger generation can see quality music last forever.

  • Durham NC was off the hook last night at DPAC Perfomance Arts Center,Maze left the funk all over the stage...Frankie ends the show with "I want to thank you-Jesus"If you were not there you missed a spiritual treat.That was the first time I saw him praise God in the spirit and cry.The whole crowd was lifted!

    one love,

    Kitty

  • THE GREATEST.

    

  • I just saw Frankie and Maze this past Saturday January 15th in Los Angeles, it was my 28th time seeing this group in concert. Frankie and Maze still know how to rock the stage and crowds to this day. If you have never seen Maze in concert, I believe it is a must to be put on your bucket list. If Maze is within a 500 miles radius of where you live, it is worth every mile and every penny to see this wonderful wonderful group

  • @genobibb OOoo, I'm so jealous. LOL LOL

  • @fajfred There is no reason whatsoever to be jealous, If it is what you like or love do the damn thing LOL

  • @genobibb Sho u rite when you know you rite! LOL LOL

  • @genobibb Maze putson the best concert you will ever see in your life. You stand from the time they come on stage till the time he leaves. No one is sitting down, thats how tough he is. Maze is #1 in the world. He has a message in all songs. Simply amazing to see live.

  • 1st saw them in '84 in London , still remeber it like it was yesterday........best band of all time FACT

  • True feel good music!

  • I'm in love with this song!! I wish i was there. Hope to see him perform before he retires..

  • @ 1:55 This is a young Cedric The Entertainer. I'd almost bet it!

  • our black greatful dead and always on point and this is one of the greatest live sets ever imo. love the music always

  • Maze and Frankie Beverly in New Orleans is one of the best live albums of all time,but it's been almost 20 years since they last put out something new.Fellas please go into the studio and record a new album,much love.

  • This man is so damn sexy !!!

  • I was at this concert....OMG it was off the hook!!!!!

  • HOT SHIT!!!

  • Real Recording Artist - Singers, Musicians & Songwriters = Maze

  • Comment removed

  • Whouuuuuuuuuuh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Super

  • The only group who can sell outa show without having had an album out in over 10 years

  • fierce46ful Frankie Beverly is so sexy I just love him especialy  when he does the cinti. jazz festival, and we all fucked up and groooven.

  • The Best!!!

    

  • i love frankie beverly live in new orleans ,norman brown , sly stone

  • This is what I want to know: How is it that a man and a band whose hits date back to the '80's still sound relevant and timely in this millenium? This group is phenomenal.

  • @helenmichellecraft They date back to the 70s actually, and the reason is the product...it's timeless!

  • @helenmichellecraft because our parents started us off on this good music.... My wife has given me four beautiful kids, but last christmas she give me tickets to see them at the FOX.... and I will forever be thankful

  • BEST LIVE BAND EVER!!!!!!!

    (..i have been 2 LOTS LOTS of FANTASTIC conserts) but i never felt sooo much looove from stage MAZE FAM.sent us ...n all this looove were sent right back on stage from usl!!!!! -i wanna thank you, thank you,thank u ;-D

  • aWWW SOOKIE SOOKIE!  They still put it down...

  • I think that when musical historians look back in a couple of hundred years they may decide that MAZE were the best 'live' band of the twentieth century

  • @owenlawman excellent statement, i agree 100%! 

  • Comment removed

  • By far one of the best, if not the best, live performers in the world. If you've never seen Maze live, you probably have no idea what live music should sound like. No CD or other studio recording can compare.

  • Frankie has good taste in guitars. It's a Rick Turner Model One. : ]

  • Maze est le best groupe que j'ai et que je connait en jazz .

    Leur feelling à traverser beaucoups de génération , comme c'est du jazz

    rock donc du jazz à la base...comme certains morceaux de Gorge Benson dans

    "absolut" ne sont pas apprécier du sinistre grand publique .

  • i love these guys from the 1st time i heard them that back in the 70 my dads favor song the last thing i would love to do is meet them one day

  • Pam Grier @3:04

  • @KnockoutJenkins76 That is comedian Ms. Dupree. She use to be on The Tom Joyner Morning Show.

  • It never failed put Maze on the turntable, cassette player, cd whatever pack my bags,hit the highway and drive all the way home to Nawlins!!! They never failed to get me through safely and feelin good!

  • @frenchmary MAN I HEAR YOU! I deejayed at a club where the drive to get there was exactly the length of this cassette...and I ALWAYS pulled into the parking lot with a smile on my face and ready to party!

  • frankie is beyond beyond... frankie is a stud on my bell bottoms...and the rake in my fro...he's the temper from my shaker of funk...and the love from my soul

  • i`ve been to tonns of AMAZIN`conserts, NOONE does it like Frankie B.&Maze - WE FEEL YOU TOO !!!! :-D THANK U THANK U THANK U

  • My wife and I went to our local flea market last Sat. And I'll be damned if some guy had this concert on LASER DISC for sale.Took my last $5.00, with my DUMB ASS. And I haven't had a laser disc player in 25 years, but it was worth it. I've been combing Ebay like crazy searching for one. My wife still calls me crazy. Yeah crazy like a fox !!!!!!

  • @nekidbob, sorry bro I have to agree with the wifey on that one. The concert is on DVD, I am sure you have a DVD plaver and you might can find it on amazon for $5.00. good luck

  • @genobibb - LOL @ gen .... good point about the DVD

    @ nekidbob - but I feel your love for Frankie - he a bad boy!

  • @nekidbob

    Yep, for sale on Amazon :)

  • @nekidbob your not crazy, its Maze..... anything wth Maze will be valued!!!!

  • @nekidbob dude I didn't even know what the hell a laser disc/laser disc player even was. Now that I googled the ugly thing, I feel better. Good grief. I guess I was 5 when they came out LOL. I remember lp's and 8-tracks though. Why would you buy a disc without having a disc player? LOL I guess I can't blame you since I woulda been tempted with this maze cd/disc thingy too...lol

  • @nekidbob i remember laser discs. the picture was great way ahead of it's time.

  • i gotta agree...tho its not my favorite band of all times, it is probably the best live band ive ever seen!

  • 1:56 ol' boy was getting i don't blame i grew up on frankie beverly and this techno radio shit

  • One of my favorite live songs by Maze feat. Frankie Beverly

  • this is the only band that stayed together for 40yrs plus. This is an example of "REAL MEN'. No egos. I love u Frankie Beverly & Maze!!!!!!

  • Saw them in '87, 88 ,89 at the Hammersmith Odeon tthe best live band in the world at the time. Saw them at the O2 in april 2010, Frankies voice aint what it used to be but they still produce great live music. Long may they proceed to do so

  • Just a Classic, before R&B turned to SH**. This is truly R & B!!!!

  • THEY WILL be in Dallas on my b-day ...oh yes I will be there

  • @eekny0003 when?

  • @ladyraven30 August 14

  • Wasn't this on a album? I remember hearing this on the radio when they would actually play something like this on the radio. Love Frankie Beverly and Maze. Saw them in concert in Pittsburgh many years ago. Always had a crush on Frankie.

  • best music

  • dis my jam ! the best live band ive heard s0 far 0n y0utube ! s0 s0ulful mannn !

  • Everybody is into this, Mannn I love It, Much respect to Frankie and Maze......

  • what wonderful......exciting.......­. good.......awesome..........so­ul music to my ears. i'll never get tired of this song

  • des Instants comme ça une rytmique sa joues le top en plus bien black quoi les rois et merci à vous le rytme dans la peau et sa fais vibré.........................­.

  • icons, just straight icons!! and BET need to get on there job because they have not honored them yet!!!outrage!

  • In response to 15foots post, you are so right if you want tickets to their show you almost have to camp outside the ticket office the night before. My wife and I went to see them in 2005 at the Hampton JazzFest. I went to the ticket office the next day after they announced the line up and the only seats left were in the upper mezz on the far right. Worst seats in the house, but they still bought the house down as usual. Let's hope they build a better venue down there.

  • You can compare the Commadores/Kool and the Gang/Cameo/EWF to one another but what other band sounds like Maze.They're in a league of their own

  • This song sweetens my soul

  • it just makes you happy takes you to another place...

  • excellent........20/20........­j'adore

  • I just my blackberry storm and was mad as hell....turned on frankie beverly and maze and all that stuff melted away. He changes lives... his music is outstanding greatest band ever. It goes Frank, earth wind and fire, and then the gap band. Does anyone know when they are coming to atlanta?

  • Maze tickets are still a hot item. They just went on sale at 10am and by 3:00 this afternoon they only had seats upstairs in the mezz section for the Hampton Jazz Fest in June and that is almost 3 months away!! Maze will never get old just Keep it Coming I LOVE IT&ALWAYS WILL!!

  • whoeeeeeeeeee Paradiso here we come!!

  • 6 of april 2010 @ paradiso amsterdam

  • I JUST SAW MAZE!!!! THEY ROCK MAN!!!!

  • them sistas and the whole crowd was feeling Maze & Frankie Beverly

  • The crowd was moving just like that when we saw them in Durham,NC last month.

  • Stepper7023 you hit dead on the head. For those true Maze fans, WEy are fanatical. WE love them unconditionally!

  • i have always said that Maze was the Black man's Grateful Dead. Why. We know the concert songs in order. Every word. Every ad-lib from Frankie. Every story about them getting their big break from Marvin Gaye. It does not matter. We LOVE the product. The product sells. Not the glam and stage shows of today. Maze sells out all the time and they do not have new record out at all.

  • @stepper7023 I couldnt have said it better myself!

  • @stepper7023 amen to that....

  • @stepper7023 Black man's Grateful Dead, spot on analogy.

  • @stepper7023 You are right on!!!! And I am a Mazehead, for sure. Best description I've ever heard about how we feel about them!!!!

  • Went to see other acts,at the forum in L.A. in 1985.Didnt really want to stay and hear them.I almost made the worst mistake of my life.I have no doubt been their biggest fans since???

  • i cant even say enough....best band period, class of their own, Love love love Maze and Frankie, look at him jam to his own ish!! he is really feelin it! that is what i love, they love it tooooo!!! goooo!!!!!

  • Not wanting to be one of those train spotting DJs ,,,,I used to include this VERY LIVE Track in my late night club program a lot, along with George Benson On Broadway and many other good tunes, Funny thing is people still ask me what it is , obviously because they have heard it many times in their lives. Shame thats its just on a list now as Needed essential track to be played to audience XYZ.

  • YES SIR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Frankie B. & Maze had the whole venue rocking. I have the DVD and cannot stop looking at it. The band is in the zone!!!

  • Hey Petecus88 I went to a Parliment concert in DC several years ago and there were more whites than blacks I was shocked but we all funked together that just goes to show you that it dosen't matter what color you are the art of music is that it is universal there is no color attached to choice of music and the listening ear that is the catalyst to the movement of your soul. Music is what brings the world together.

  • i saw them twice in holland, where i'm from, at least 20 years or more ago. both times it was like they where not from this planet, just UNBELIEVABLE... MAZE is the BOMB...

  • well this was more than 20 years ago.know that beacause they arrived here in hamburg(germany) 2 hours late, coming from holland.i still remember. over here i had them "open air" in the park. still the best concert of my live.greetings to holland!

  • hello.. maze with frankie is coming to holland amsterdam on thuesday 6 april in paradiso... 1 love...

  • Aww Bless ya heart y'all. Agree w/ nekibob. Saw them at a Kool Jazz Festival in Orlando 1980 (on Air Force leave.) And just saw them 11/13/09 in Columbia, SC...talk about good luck on Friday the 13th. My God the man is 63 yrs young. The Koger Center was packed. It was a musical pilgrimage. One of the most underrated yet largely appreciated "bands" (you know cats that play instruments...none of that fabricated computer sh_t.) Thank you Maze f. Frankie Beverly for the years of pleasure

  • Best live album ( along with " P-Funk Earth Tour - "77") of all time.

  • Saw them at the Hampton JazzFest 2005 in Hampton, Va. And Oakland, Ca while on leave in the Army 1983. they never change Thank God!!!!!!! Greatest band to ever take the stage !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • HAVE MERCY

  • yes

  • I saw Maze in Savannah around 5 yrs back & it was funny cause i was the only white person at the auditorium literally. There were all these old school cats up in the place and heres this funny looking white guy. It was funny, I stood out like a sore thumb. Maze was the bomb though!!

  • Oh shit y'all. The greatest live band in the world.

  • @asbur40 NO doubt adout it!

  • @asbur40 ...LMAO...That's when u know it's good! (Awww...shit y'all..it right !!!)

  • I just love this man and his music!

  • I love Frankie Beverly and Maze..been a fan since I was 10.."I KEEP FEELING YOU..IM FEELING YOU 2"..LOL

  • i took my wife to see them when we were dating...they rocked the house!!!!!!!!!!

  • this song is soo fly....i'm checking out my honey while i float on this!!!..oh i'm feeling that cogac ,cream and navy...thats somthing i wound do!

  • the best group ever!!!

  • I loved maze/frankie beverly ever since i was a little girl (im 24 now). My dad was always blastin their music on stereo on his off days. I love that down home clean feelin that their music give off. I think ima find the maze dvd and give it to my pops for xmas!!

  • 30 years ago I discovered them: never changed: and now I'm 49.

    In that time ( '78) was hard to find good music in this f... place. (......Italy....)

    They has been, are and will be number one for me for ever

  • I grew up listening to this.. im 19...

    My father used to play these songs in the house and the car along with many others like EWF(earth, wind and fire)

    Im soooo glad i was exposed to this kind of music!!! There is a reason they call it soul, because thats exactly where it goes!!!

    This is true feel good music, there will never be another time like the 80s.... just wish i could have experienced it first hand.... how happy do these people look??

  • Yeah, Frankie sings pretty good.

  • This was back in the days when you had neighborhood record stores. Back then the bands like Maze, Parliament, the Gap Band... And others would show up in your hood to sign autographs and meet the fans before the concerts. Man, Im glad i grew up thru the 70's and 80's!

  • It takes you THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!

  • Hey does anyone have this on dvd or something??

  • YES I HAVE IT

  • This was in my city! Wish I was alive back then...

  • make me want to open a bottle of hennessy when i hear this song.crank it up frankie b and maze.

  • Maze is aMAZing! My favorite group of all-time. The Maze "Live in London" is a fool too.

  • Oh man I love this video...seeing the audience ecstatically dancing. Their music is so good that even the white audience member are dancing too.......It's great seeing music like this bringing people together. This was America in a kinder and gentler time...before Reagan, Bush, crack and sleazy politicians ruined this nation.

  • I agree Brother, with times in My Country.. may GOD grant us those times again..
