Feb 2012, Macky, Kalapana I MISS you! Friday night just chillin live in the Washington DC area now, 3000+ miles away from home... Missing home, Missing the best time of my life...
You can tell in this clip that Mackey had been smoking batu for a little bit. So sad, Batu is the plague of these islands. God bless Kalapana and their musical gift to Hawaii.
bruddah Mackey...stoned or not he was awesome and still is. he believed in the Lord Jesus Christ and the mercy of God is SOOO good to those who believe in Him. Kalapana was "awesome" !!! good post, mahalo
Poor Mackey, he was all cracked out in this clip. Bradduh could still hit those notes and bring out great emotions in the song. RIP to one of Hawaii greatest ever.
This is music. It is timeless, soo much soul, thank god for music like this. MF you will be forever be missed. Seems all the good ones gone to soon, sigh.
i grew up listening to these guys, i actually knew mackey personally-so so sad that he squandered such talent on fricken meth....what a WASTE. hopefully hes at peace now.still run into dj ( the guitarist ) all the time,hey dj you guys were / are AWESOME!
I will remember him and best buddy James hanging out by kaiser high cafeteria--Mackey always with his humble and sweet smile! He would be here with us if we intervened--I pray he is finally is at peace ! Love ya macks!
Another smooth sound from Kalapana. I've been listening to all the post here on Youtube of Kalapana. There sound is eternal. Great blend of voices and instruments.
Hey Kiloilio, I love the Las Vegas Turnaround Song too Hall & Oates Version apperars to be only one I can find on the net. Also checked the recordings I could find by Kalapana and its not on any thing I could find. Sad to say this might just be a live performance only song lost in time now...
I have been away from the islands for 15 years and just saw that Mackey had passed away as I was surfing the web. Oh, my gosh, I have been watching his performances on line for the past few hours. What ashame. Kalapana, was such a big part of my growing up. He was a great performer and just a beautiful person - I was only 10-ish in the 70's, but my older cousins knew him. I grew up on Kalapana and C&K and this is so sad to hear of his death and the way it happened.
Kalapana at the Top Of Da Shoppe...Their Waikiki Shell concerts were awesome, too..."Moon and Stars" was an absolutely 'nahenahe' song...Somebody please post "All I Want" and "Las Vegas Turnaround"!
Mackey you are truly missed... I love your songs I wish you knew how your fans wants to hear more of you "live". Your music touched so many people's heart.
Look at some of the earlier Kalapna videos on YouTube and you can see what crack/ice did to Mackey Feary. What a waste, what a beautiful voice. RIP Mackey.
I have been a kalapana fan since the 70'6, and it is such a tragedy that mackey past on. such talent. a voice that will never be forgoten. kalapana's music is heard even in the deep colorado mountains. when i think of hawaii, i think of Kalapana. Thanks for the memories.
One of the greatest groups to ever come out of Hawaii! Damn, Mackey looked like he was all cracked out. Poor bradduh. Kalapana was never the same since. Damn I miss Mackey Feary.
Wow! Just new to Kalapana and Mackey Feary, but I'm an instant fan! I'm sadden at hearing about Mackey's death, but his voice will be heard for generations to come. LOVE THIS MUSIC and his voice! 10+ stars!
So Good to hear Mackey, he had such a good voice - seen Kalapana 8-10 times ! Always had fun and enjoyable times! I was a groupie! SO Sad he's gone ...
Wow was a trip seeing Mackey and hearing their music grew up with this music in Hawaii. Now in cali and hopes to one day return, so nice to hear music that really moves you. Mahalo to all the past and presnt Hawaiian musicians that continue to make the sound of music....
This is what great music was all about. Used to see Mackey in the Point After (ha), about the same age. I miss his amazing voice. Still brings a swell to my eyes. What a talent!
mackey feary was an amazing composer/song writer.this song is truly my favorite. the song was written for mackeys friend this guy known as moon who worked @ a resturaunt in oahu as a cook who was in love with this server there named star,but moon was 2 shy to ask her out, and like a gr8t friend mackey wrote this song for them.true story! moon was a friend of mine,he resently passed away 2 cancer.but he intro. me 2 mackey before mackey died
to what moon told me was that she was very sweet and they got to hangout some but nothing more than that she liked him more as a friend ,all he said was atleast he made a friend for life rather a fling for a moment.moon was a man with a big heart.
that is truly a beautiful story. you were lucky to have met Mackey in his liftime. Do you remember when Mackey wrote this song for your friends? It's just such a sweet story!
I can't even begin to describe how this takes me back in time. This was written so many years ago, yet here Mackey is, just like yesterday. Wish it was yesterday and he was still making music, with his own band, by himself or with Kalapana. Rest in peace Mackey and, by the way, since tomorrow is your birthday, Happy Birthday Mackey, wherever you are. Celebrate, sing, dance in the clouds and know how much you were and still are loved by so many people. Your life and music are gifts. Miss you!
The memories come flooding back... my tour of duty Iwakuni, Japan, 1975 ... my girl back home in the States... Mackey and the boys uplifted my spirit time and again. Rest in peace, man.
It makes me sad to know Mackey died a heartbroken man. His songs, especially this one, is so full of love and hope. It'll live on forever in my heart.
I shaped surfboards for almost 25 years on the North Shore and had a magical life there that I miss so much and pray to return to. I owe it ALL to Gods grace and a concert by KALAPANA at San Diego State back in 1975.
Kalapana has always been one of my favorite groups from Hawaii, along with Cecilio & Kapono. Was just talking to my Honolulu honey while surfing YouTube and discovered this goldmine of videos. Nevah knew any Kalapana videos posted until now. Trip out, dis one posted exactly one year ago today! Mucho mahalo, urasai7!
Feb 2012, Macky, Kalapana I MISS you! Friday night just chillin live in the Washington DC area now, 3000+ miles away from home... Missing home, Missing the best time of my life...
