  • anyone have an mp3 of this? AMAZING.

  • great live version of this song..a little different but still great..all due to michaels majestical voice

  • BEAUTIFUL! Beautiful dancing, vioce, Beautiful Michael!! Just looking at the way he moves makes you wanna get up and dance to! hes amazing.

  • Michael Jackson is the 999,999,999% best ones in the U.S.A. today!!!!!.

  • The J5 were definitely the first, and best, of their kind. All amazing singers and dancers but WOW MICHAEL! I really hate to see their songs being covered when they were already as perfect as a song can get when Michael sang them. Each and every J5 song/performance is special to me and i really REALLY don't like seeing these songs being performed by all these other artists and amateurs. Thumbs up if you agree!

  • aint nobody sing anything better than MJ! His voice goes straight into your soul in just one note <3 such a beautiful song and a beautiful man from the inside out. Miss him so much. :(

    BTW everyone, i bought a version of this song on iTunes by the j5 of course called "Got to Be There: Live at the Forum" and it's REALLY REALLY GOOD! my favorite version of this song, but it's not on youtube and idk how to upload it or insert pics or anything. Please help! Thanks! MJ=Best ever

  • GO RANDY GO RANDY stay in the shine of the light for about 30 Secs get happy... cus when MJ steps back up the the microphone. Its all back to him

  • those riffs he's hitting...

    DAMN.

  • its amazing how this song is i think is about being a father being sang by a kid lol

  • Fuck 51 people who dont like MJ.

    Go listening Justin Bieber!

  • Gile ya, masih anak2, tapi suara kayak rekaman studio, padahal live, perfect, note nya gak ada yang fals...

  • Now I understand why Mike was so "different" as adult. Can you imagine being 8 years old and girls were clawing, screaming, crying, and fainting every time they saw you? Dude was one of a kind.

  • Dang poor lil Randy trying to keep up, following big bro Mike was too huge of a task. I wouldn't wanna follow him either, Mike was a pure genius!

  • OMG :( To be soo cute and talent as MJ is not normal. F**ck the press Michael your the best ! ! ! !

  • The Braxtons aint got Shit on the Jacksos

  • waouuhh this what we called a performance..this family was just overgifted, overtalented !!!

  • pure genious michel was....

  • this makes me tear up.. what an angel :( so sad that he's gone. seeing a face like that and hearing his beautiful voice- and a lot of people didn't know how many troubles he was having in his life.. *sigh* sad. I hope he's in a happier place, he'll finally be left alone and in peace.

  • you know what else i just realized? people thought it was so weird that he was like a child when he was older.... well it was probably because he was forced to be an adult when he was young! he looks like a grown man in this video..the way he moves and sings. fuck.

  • @111whitepony111, damn right. That poor boy was bigger and worked harder than any man or woman at Motown. Everybody made soooo much money off him. His responsibilities were heavier than any average grown man had to deal with.

  • @5point0 you're right, and remember if they messed up they were beaten. At this point just Marlon and Mike I see Tito has on a wedding ring and Jermaine was also married here. He was a hard working kid, and grew up to be the greatest entertainer of all time.

  • @111whitepony111 he was not forced he just missed it he loved this kind of thing its the not the stage its off the stage where he missed out.

  • i think 'this is it' said it best. only MJ could do what he did. only he had the talent, patients and incredibly dance skills to pull off what he did to music. he changed it forever.. and no one else had the strength or talent to do that. when i watch these old videos of him even, i don't think it's weird to hear a child singing about love, because i believe him - he makes it believable and understood the music.

  • This live version of BRAND NEW THING is amazing. Anyone know where to find the studio recording???

  • Got to be there is a great MJ song

  • I heard Michael sing this (Got To Be There) when I was about 11 years old and I don't remember if it was on Bandstand or Soultrain or what, but I'm pretty sure it was a warm sunny summer sunday day just like today. I was determined to become a singer someday from that moment on.

  • *Tears* the man was a gift on this earth!

  • gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo randy :)))))))))))) and gooooooooooooooooooooooooooo michael our angel :))))))))))))

  • Amazing!

  • such an amazing singer. the greatest child star that ever lived.

  • Michael never failed to sound great live. His voice sounds so clear. He's incredible!!!!

  • Cant believe i have never seen this clip. Mike sounds incredible...and LOL @Randy. The choreography (whomever rehearsed them) in on point and so are they. Perfect performance. Joe didnt have a single reason to beat that ass that night.

  • my favorite jackson 5 song ever it amazes me how micheal was a phenomenal singer as a child and grew up to be even more phenomenal micheal is an icon there will never be a person better then micheal jackson

  • the only live version? but fantastic....

  • one of the best vocalist on the planet#1 from (7 to 20 years old)his ages#2 Luther Vandross

  • I can watch this thing forever

    Such talented brothers

  • WOW! he's voice :o :O *o*

  • I KNOW THE JACKSONS ARE BAD BUT DAMN THUMBS UP FOR THE CHOREOGRAPHERS!!

  • @palmares77 They Were The Choreographers Retard.

  • @Michael87Jackson SORRY A-HOLE......With them being at Motown, they couldn't have made up their own moves. Berry Gordy was the ultimate micromanager. They were taught how to move like that.

  • @palmares77 No, I Have A Book, And It Says That Michael Made Up Most Of The Moves.

  • @Michael87Jackson If that is the case, just another example of his genius then.

  • @Michael87Jackson not really, they had a choreographer. When he was free-styling YES, but not a dance routine.

  • Michael is an angel! What a beautiful voice...Jesus.

  • 0:47 to 0:54 pure gold he had the most perfect voice ever. i pray i could even even have an ounce of his greatness. And no im not the biggest fanatic out there but i just cant get over how great he is

  • @datdougy2 that high voice at :54 hurt my ear a bit.

    it was too high. maybe it's just the quality of the video...

  • What a talent...

  • Everyone watching this video will be BLOWN AWAY when Randy comes dancing onstage & the Jackson brothers all go into their next dance moves. Watch towards the end!!!!!! WORTH IT!!!!

  • i am amaze at his voice.....this make other artistes that sing looks bad...because this is live, and it sound like the record.. you other artistes SUCK BALLS mj is the best

  • This is my number one favourite song, ever. I have never forgotten the first time I heard it 5 years ago, or how I felt and still get the same amazing feeling when I hear it today! I love this version as well, I like what he does at the end of each verse- slightly different to the original recording. I'm so happy to be able to listen to a live version of Got To Be There as well. Beautiful, Michael, and thank you so much Maanpiraatje for providing this.

  • who is the kid playing djambe at 3:02 ?

  • When MJ was alive I admit I was not a fan of his music. But his reputation demanded respect from all corners of society & all walks of life. After MJ passed away, I became obsessed with learning about MJ & the Jackson 5. I can honestly say that I know more about MJ & the Jackson 5 today than the average person. Michael & his brothers & Joe Jackson were a tightly run ship who weathered many harsh storms to rise to legend. MJ & the J5 are an American treasure & human phenomenon. . .

  • I love so much that song

  • NOTICE TO ALL NEW PERFORMERS- PLEASE WATCH THIS VIDEO TO KNOW WHAT RESPECTING THE ART FORM OF ENTERTAINMENT AND MUSICANSHIP IS.

  • That moment at 2:00, where he pulls back and spins... pure genius. you can't teach that

  • *sigh*

    Michael... </3

  • no adult can sing how he sang when he was young. no one can dance how he danced as a child. nobody can ever even get close to the kind of art he gave to the world.

  • Brings back memories when I was a teenager. 39 yrs later and I've yet to see a singer/dancer/performer as young as he was there, that had his talent at a young age. All these dance and singing reality shows that have flooded the airwaves now aka Amercan Idol ect....ect.......and still no one can top MJ. Its too bad The Jacksons weren't just getting started in this era. Justin Beeber and all these wanna-bes would watch in "awe" and learn a few things from the best.

  • he had such vocal strength its incredible. people give him alot of credit for dancing, but his VOICE was incredible. nobody can sing a michael jackson song the way he did.

  • i'm mad he's away from us but at least he wont be around these hateful people in our world today rip mj we love you no matter what

  • This reminds me of how the Jacksons rocked and the Osmonds sucked. Even the J5 cartoon was better than the Osmonds.

  • @lewisner Dude, believe it or not, It IS possible to like the Jacksons without hatin on the Osmonds.

  • @lewisner I didn't hate the Osmonds. They said nothing to me. Saying they sucked isn't the same thing as hating them.

  • escucharon??!

    eso es música!! T_T

  • yeaahh randy can dance

  • ¡¡¡MI ADORABLE NIÑO !!!¡¡¡¡MI QUERIDÍSIMO MUCHACHITO!!!! .....YYY MI HOMBRE CON ALMA DE NIÑO TAN PERO TAN QUERIBLEEEEE I LOVE MIKY FOREVERRRR¡¡¡¡TE AMOOOOOOO Y ASÍ SERÁ SIEMPRE¡¡¡¡MI DULCE MIKY SÉ QUE ESTÁS CON DIOS....AUNQUE ME DUELE TU AUSENCIA Y TE EXTRAÑO,EN MI FAMILIA ESPERÁBAMOS CON ANSIAS ESE "13 DE jULIO " ....que no pudo ser

  • Someone has to digitally clean up the video. Would like to see and hear this on blueray...Peace

  • This was such a great performance! You just don't see this kind of talent and showmanship anymore! They were ALL fantastic!

  • Little did we realise back then how this magical journey would end. You deserved so much better Michael, but I know you can feel the love. You have earned your place in history.

  • Does this ever bring back the memories. I was about12 when this came out. Why wasn't someone protecting this child, this national treasure--so the adult years could have been as sublime as this lovely song? Hope you find your peace, young Michael.

  • Great Song,love u Mikey!

  • This is almost criminal that this is a live performance.

  • Vocal riff @ 1:12- ANYBODY ELSE would have screwed that up. Not Mike. He NAILED IT!!!!

  • i LOVE THIS SONG ONE OF THE BEST SONGZ THAT I WOULD GIVE HI 5'S TO..

  • I loooove this!!  so Amazing!

  • this is the michael i remember

  • You are my inspiration Michael, I love your song Ben and earth so much you will never be forgotten RIP MJ

  • still crying almost 2 years later.

  • when u actually re-search mj's background anyone must know that he's not crazy.

  • AND he's not lipsyncing!!!! My love, my baby I love him so much

  • randy wtf are u doing

  • Comment removed

  • this is amazing, this voice is unique and this is real music, not the pimps whores of today that even cant read straight.

  • Go Randy!!!

  • The difference between Michael and his brothers is that while they KNOW music, he IS music, while the CAN dance, he IS dance...

  • @mamalusk brilliant comment SO TRUE xxx RIP MJ xxx

  • @mamalusk EXACTLY.

  • @mamalusk obama how bad do you want me on your team? 

  • he is genuis

  • Michael.... what can I say, he was something else. What ever you want to say about him, we all have to agree, musically, he was something special!

  • justin beiber top this ahhhahahahaah

  • @jackson12324 there is no comparison, michael was a natural

  • cute !

  • I miss Micheal so much , I thank God for the time we had with him his music will be here forever.

  • He is genuis!!!! He is and he will!!! I crazy miss him

  • Agreed, and he says he likes Michael, well screw Bieber

  • Justin nieber will NEVER be like michael.. he shouldnt even try..michael is legendary.. no one can compare

  • 1972 This is my birthday's date!!! Congratulations from Brazil!!!

  • i fell in love with Michael then...i was 10...i loved his singing but fell in love with him as a perrson and just wanted 2b his friend cos even at that young age i could see he was special...and he proved that time and time again..not just as an artst but as a man..i am nearly 50 now and lovehim more than ever..millions of people my age and older feel the same..that's just how special he was

    R.I.P Precious 1

    xxx

  • ...THERE'S NO MORE TALENT OUT THERE...THESE DAYS...TODAY'S NON-TALENT IS COMPUTER ENHANCED........YOUR BIEBER CAN'T SING FOR SHIT...THEY JUST MAKE UP DUMB SONGS JUST TO SEE WHAT SELLS...

  • Todays generation is not accustomed to hearing live quality singing and music such as these extremely high quality songs by the Jacksons, Michael had the tremedous ability to sing crystal clear high notes since he was young and adapt his voice and songs to the changing times. He was truly a versatile talented performer.

  • @tmmjfan99

    well said!

  • @tmmjfan99- extremely good point!!!

  • Dang michael was the most talented kid ever!! And randy is just tooo cute in this video :)

  • the best boy band and ever

  • get it mike!!!! voice of an angel

  • The stage was Michael's sanctuary

  • Comment removed

  • OMG! when this played on the radio it made me MELT!

  • feel like crying.... what an angel

  • 48 people have got to be there in the hell.

  • The difrent in MJ and Justin bieber is that JB is 16 year old and MJ is like 9 years old or something ther!

  • @jordanbestur Michael at age 12 he was a genius and knew provide top quality show with such a young age, and Justin Bieber to 16 years is just a singer.

  • @angelito6296 I correct you: ... justin bieber to 16 is just a horrible artist

  • @jackson19772005 Best answer! xD

  • @jordanbestur Live at Hellzapoppin in 1972 so must be 13 going 14

  • THIS IS AWESOME!! LUVIN' LIL RANDY ON THEM DRUMS LOL

  • its funny it took this long for people to truly respect the j5 again, there so talanted makes me jealous lol

  • Got to be there he was before his time at all times...... How can a young child sing a song with so much passion and beauty.... One love Michael

  • Little MJ - such an angel

  • jackson 5, legend, MJ`s voice is galactical, only once time in music history, so soulful and funky, its incredible!!! it`so sad, that he gone (RIP) he`s a part of Hip Hop Culture not only Pop! My big respect to MJ and the Jacksons

  • @JustinBieber .. You Cant Do This.

  • it go to be great

  • @JustinbBieber.... You're already much more talented than michael jackson has ever thought about being... You Win.

    @MichaelJackson... RIP but youre no bieber

  • Comment removed

  • I agree that without Joe the Jackson 5 and especially Michael would be nothing. Look at Tiger Woods, Venus and Serena Wiilliams, Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, all of them had very strong black men as fathers.A lot of people knew that Michael had serious self esteem problems if Joe had not been there or his religion michael would have harmed himself years ago.

  • @brothaman101 I had a very good laugh after I read you insane comment! are you serious or what???Michael wouldn't be nothing without Joe ha, ha, ha, I think it's another way around If it wasn't for Michael Joe Jackson would be still working in the factory doing two jobs! come on man please think before you want to make any silly comment you don't really believe in this??just remember thanks to ONLY MICHAEL the whole family had became framous and rich without Michael the band was finish

  • Why does Everyone compare Michael jackson to justin bieber?!

    Everyone knows that justin can't ever do this.

    Michael is ever so talented infact, he's more than talented!!

    Michael, We will never forget u until we die.

    Jusin, i don't even know what to say, seriously!! all I could say is do us a favor, just drop dead, u SUCK!!!!!!!!

  • @jamel098 Amen I agree with you! Bieber is just a copy cat, he won't be long , you will see!!!

  • Even if he did it in a "re-live my life through them" way........If my kid is as talented as MJ was when he turns 5....why would I not push him to be the best.....Joe did what he did (weither you like it or not)and look at the end result.....his child hated him, but his child will go down as the greatest entertainer ever......not bad for an "asshole father".....lol

  • @jameldion But remember if Michael hadn't have this wonderful talent his father wouldn't have done nothing , see what happened when Michael left his brothers , their music career went down and nobody is interesting in them! to me they are MORONS WHO DON'T WANT TO WORK AND MICHAEL HAD TO HELP THEM THROUGH HIS LIFE! They just make kids like Jermine, how many wifes has he had so far and how many kids he has???

  • @SuperRenata23 mike is not the reason his father found out they could sing. if tito hadn't broke them guitar strings we would have never known who michael joseph jackson was. please they needed each other and the rest got overshadowed by michael. and jackie and marlon and tito are doing just fine w/o their brother!! lol you sure know what your talking about

  • No Joe = no mike.....and I don't mean the got Kathryn preggo part....I'm talking about the push to be a superstar. Hell I don't agree with the way he went about some of it, but if none of that "bad" shit happened...the touring at a young age, the beatings, the strict attitude, the everything...would we be talking about MJ like we do.....food for thought.

  • @jameldion even without joe michael still would've been talented because michael was taught how to sing and dance on his own and looking up to people he admired. i don't give a damn about joe because michael worked hard after he left his dad and became greater than people least expected of him. he didn't even show some sympathy when michael died.

  • @jameldion okey you can push your kids to became stars but you don't have beat them up!! right! See what had happened to Michael, he was a very big international star in the world but the hate he had for his father was so strong that in his adult life he didn't want to have anything to do with him . Maybe he forgave him(Joe) but they weren't never close to each other and Michael never felt comfortable around him .(no mention of Joe in his will why?)I have never seen Joe hugging his kids.

  • his dancing from 2:28 is great!! it so fit with te music!!!

  • Michael Jackson, cantor, dançarino, intérprete. Simplesmente completo e inegualável. Abraço a todos !!

  • i love you michael!

  • i wonder if he knew that 30 years later ,he'd become the world's best musician

  • Rest in peace my friend.

  • Wow! No matter how many times I here this.....still gives me chills....mj the best to ever do it...

  • kill it mike

  • If bieber had a perm and 4 brothers he could do this. Lmao.. RIP king of pop.

  • @prettyboy0909 no he c
