Baby Love Mother's Finest Live

[DarthRidiculous1]

one of the best live bands ever

[MsFreddy03]

Super!!!!! Love the MUSIC, the singer and the BOOTS!!!!

[luqmanms]

a pure band.

[nugeforprez32264]

i cant find this dvd anywhere

[DirkjeA]

oh wow after all these years this song still gives me shivers on my spine......

[conradsdad]

Love ya, Joyce. These guys fueled many a college party in Athens in 78-80.

[ToniAlberte]

Love when I'm introduced to artist I haven't heard before!

[takoma5]

fantastic version, i love it!!

[jammer853]

yall put on a great show at the pig jig

[huaso97]

FUNK YEAH!!!!



[Starhonk]

Probably the best perfomance I ever seen and my expectations were skyhigh after their legendary live album.I saw them in Stockholm in the 90s - rain was pouring but nobody cared about that because the consert was so outstanding.

[Niwanadrummer]

Hey I'm a white female drummer that learned how to play from black drummers. Funk knows no color! Wish I'd seen them at Clemson. S.C. is my home state.

[davideibeck]

@Niwanadrummer music knows no color!

[kpix99]

@Niwanadrummer

Color has little to do with talent. If you learned from drumming heros you did well. Check the pistol from the Motown band The Funk Brothers. No one was better.

[wileycoyoteengineer]

I saw them in the late 70's at Clemson they were on before ZZ Top I went out and bought their album. What is funny to me is a white boy is the drummer.

[DirkjeA]

@wileycoyoteengineer Beside the fact that MF has always been a mixed band, (the main guitarplayer is Caucasian just like the drummer) music knows no colour, only hearts and souls are important, and thank god our hearts and souls are all the same colour.

[laserdoc85]

they are playing in Atlanta(home town) this Sat night 9-17. Lost track of them for 20 years! Used to work at Master sound recording studio back in the mid 80's and partied with them all. Many a late night with the gang!!! May just have to drop by Sat night and say HI !!!!. Can't wait to see them again!!!! They were regulars at Alex Cooleys Electric Ballroom in the late 70"s

[jolieleo]

The TRUTH! Do you guys hear how great that woman's voice was (is)?

[matsmom13]

I saw them in Concert with Aerosmith, In 1978 0r 1979, They blew Aerosmith out of park!!!

[poncho12335]

@matsmom13 saw the same show they were the chit

[Pearlygirl0]

I found this album in a thift store, I LOVE it. :)

[ConnexTV]

9 people don't like their babies!!!

[CheleAquarius]

I LOVE THIS SONG & MOTHER'S FINEST! I GREW UP ON FUNK!

[cejr7]

First saw these guys at ECU circa 1983. Wonderful then, wonderful now. Would have given anything NOT to have missed them this year (2011) yes, including "left nut". None-the-less, I did so. However, these VDs bridge the gap a lot so, I'm not feeling "totally" left out. Vibrancy is _still there_ after all these years!!! Go MF!!! :)

[myklmusic]

Yeah, Baby... Music 101 !

[mciverSC]

myrtle beach, crap, i live 100 miles away, why couldnt i learn this earlier

[supergamingmusicteam]

They will be at 2001 NightClub Myrtle Beach July 28th!

[7Mansions]

This is one of my fav's by them. I heard this and I was like where has their music been my whole life. Joyce Kennedy got that Chaka flavor. This song is funk rock baby yeah!! I always said I would cover this song, but vocally it's a hard song to sing.

Check out my page. I'm a chica bring that funk rock flavor. Ya'll not ready...

[CalArtGrl]

What ever happened to drummer BB Queen???

[shadyspot66]

@CalArtGrl BB play s for The Marshall Tucker Band

[llehcin]

I'm so jealous.

[jbelle2008]

The 5 people who disliked this video are obviously dead inside.

[DirkjeA]

@jbelle2008 Sorry for this late reaction, but why bother about these 10 dislikes while there are so many people (and I am one of them) that clearly love MF? I got so many great memories of their music that MF could easily fill up my schoolgirl diary of those days.

And now that I am thinking of myself as a grown up woman I can't get enough of MF and I am considering myself a very lucky Dutch lady to know, and to grew up with this great music.

[torg52]

@jbelle2008 absolutely! this is state of the art golden memories from the past:)

[davideibeck]

@jbelle2008  racists

[grandpasun]

[Valerie4u1]

[sunshinelight94]

´booombe ^^

[ZackAttacka63]

They played all over the south when I was growing up... always awesome. Tight and pure and, like someone mentioned below, blew a lot of bigger names off the stage.

[daffilief]

Mm.. wondering what the x factor had to say about this!!! so much emotions streight in to my hard!!

those where the days!!

[BSCOTTB1013]

Baby Jean you are the best. I grew up watching these guys all over Atlanta and West Ga. They put on a great show everytime. Check out the Thank You For The Love videos on you tube also

[nessam72]

LOVEEEEEEEE IT!!! Thanks for the Excellent Post!

[zulisen]

Best Live Band

[RemiXXKid]

One of the best bands ever.. Seen them blow alot of great bands off the stage opening.. headliner didnt compare..

[SLOWHAND20011]

HOTLANTA & MOTHERS FINEST !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mikeTa1964]

the "commercial" birth of MF 

[naccben]

macon, ga. ROCKS!!!!!!!

[LaVida5]

A great band, the fire, rock and soul. Love it!!

[1a2a3a4and]

This gig was broadcasted in Germany´s "Rockpalast" Since then I have seen them live 3 times and think this is one of the best band ever.

[lambohaha]

Seen the bassist, the Wiz, in Valdosta, Ga. Love Mother`s Finest!!

[mcgaheefamily]

I saw them along time ago they opened for Ike and tina turner.they were Great.It was at 6 flags in atlanta

[elc1960]

Sad to say, this band is not as well remembered as their other Southern Rock brethren. VERY underrated band. I remember Baby Jean's duet with Jimmy Farrar on the Molly Hatchet cut "Respect Me In The Morning" from the "Take No Prisoners" album.

[flamecolumn]

I saw MF a bunch of times when I lived in the south.

Great band that combined greasy funk and hard rock.

the last time I saw them the male lead singer was absolutely hammered. He kept forgetting to sing and he fell down more than once.

[akatheempress]

Tony Terry covered this song. I like both versions, although MF's version is more rockin'

[MusicFanAndFreak]

i find ds liad echt geil!

[trezlorenz]

Can anyone verify that Baby Jean and Chaka Khan are half sisters?

[epoxycock]

I saw em in the early 80's when I was about 16- They rocked out and I really

like the funk element- They got me in to stuff like The Meters and Rare Earth...

I looked them up and they are still around- out of Woodstock, GA.- my hometown!

[TheBluesJester]

I did see them LIFE....back in 1983...Before a crowd of 35.000 people... and trust me... atthat time it was a HUGE crowd..

And Im glad they still ROCK...!!!

[OLIVIALFX]

i was there..i was very lucky 2 c them live just there in front..

[MrJacMac1986]

This song crossed over onto Classic Rock stations like Z93 and 96 Rock.The group was more of a soul genre.But then again Rock was once the Black man's blues.Elvis and Jerry Lee Lewis(even though he should have been arrested on a 1950's version of Dateline)made it popular to be perfomed by whites about 1954.

[OffTheCharts365]

Listen for great music like this on a new radio station called "OffTheCharts" - featuring 70's (and some 80's) lost hits and chart wonders!

Go to Live365.com, type OFFTHECHARTS in the Search box and click on the station logo. The audio stream should begin. Become a VIP member and listen commercial free!

This song will be fearured on our first show beginning November 8.

Thanks for posting this song!

[timeeagle77]

Weltklasse !!

"Baby Jean" Kennedy und Ihre Band hab ich Ende 70er Anfang 80er auf dem

Open-Air in Bruchhausen-Vilsen gesehen.....MannMann,haben DIE da

ein Musik und Lightshowfeuerwerk abgerissen...WAHNSINN!!

Man muß sie 1 Mal live gesehen haben...Vergißt du nie!!

UND Baby Love ist und bleibt das Hammerstück!!

Very THX fürs einstellen!!

[ralphomat]

Volles Rohr, voller Einsatz, geile Stimme!

[Slicksticker4U]

I'VE SEEN A SHITLOADS OF COVERS OF THIS SONG.. NOBODY DOES IT LIKE BABY JEAN... OMG..!!

[commonsense2008]

OMG this is so damn exiting

[meatfinest1]

remember when they started in ten oaks apt jam every friday night back in the day

[TuNee23]

One of the baddest groups ever!!!  period!

[1973G1000]

how can the women in music today claim their so damn good when they can't hold a candle to this piss on ga ga kesha or the rest they need to go back to school AMEN

[lps2]

So, I'm 20, Generation Y if you will, who grew up with parents that played Mother's Finest constantly.... and I tolerated it I guess, I grew up more of a Black Metal / Death-core fan... that is until I found Funk... then I liked Mother's Finest.... then tonight (10/9/2010-10/10/2010) I saw Mother's Finest at Wild Bill's in Gwinnett w/ my parents and a friend... and now I have to say that it was one of the best experiences of my life... and I was sober (w/ parents)... no L, shrooms, or green

[TuNee23]

@lps2 hi-larious!!

[commonsense2008]

awesome. I attended once a concert of Supertramp in Holland, I believe it was 1984.

Mother's finest in the preview (first hour) How much I love Supertramp, Mother's finest stole the show!

[stage7]

I Must say THIS!

EVERY band and act out there PERIOD, KNOWS, Respects and FEARS "Mother's Finest", as well! The POWER is undeNIable...... period! And they don't need nor use any .... ANY of the 'antics' of 'spectacularism' that the others 'resort' to! THIS band 'IS' "IT"!!!!! Never equalled, Never duplicated. If I may.....'SUPREME'! :-p

[wingtsun64]

♣♣♣ ...so good old stuff ...♣♣♣

[Cowboyraygun]

Love the Baby Love.

[sonicmann101]

@Cowboyraygun

There are no groups like this anymore!

[Mc1970able]

always loved this song. makes me feel like i want to just go out and party my ass off!

[muzikkraz]

She has the voice of an angel. One of Mother's finest!

Thanx for sharing

[cirkustom]

Los buenos que he visto en el parque de la ciudad de Hamburgo y me ha formado siempre. La mujer es en realidad el martillo !!!!!!!!

Die Guten habe ich einmal im Hamburger Stadtpark gesehen und hat mich für immer geprägt. Die Frau ist echt der Hammer!!!!!!!!

I have seen the good once in the Hamburg town park and have stamped myself for good. The woman is really the hammer!!!!!!!!

OK isss lang her :-))))

[muzikkraz]

I like this even better than the original. Just goes to show the talent of one of the most under-rated bands, ever.

MOTHER"S FINEST!

Thanx 4 sharing!

[LindiweZ]

it gives me gooooose bumps!



[maceomaceo11]

The biggest reason MF never reached the superstar status they deserved is because their albums didn't come close to capturing the true essence of the bands.

Average White Band on the other hand was able to perfectly capture their sound on record. I like AWB but live they were no match for MF. AWB was better able to market themselves for radio. Just a plausible explanation as to why MF never got their due.

[yode69]

Will someone please tell me why this band never made it to the BIGTIME? I guess too many white record executives wanted their CRAP played on 1970-1980's radio. This is comin' from a whitebread cracker so no hatin', please!

[stage7]

@yode69 _ aw, it's all good my friend! I understand PERIOD! But even tho' MF never achieved 'acclaim' deserved, they somehow were STILL BIGGER than many of the others, if not Most! I don't 'C' ANY of the other bands STILL "ROCKIN" hard or even 'giggin' like THIS Band Has continued, and in HUGE venues TOO! They BROKE it even tho' they didn't get 'harolded'! Somehow, People KNOW and FLOCK! The seats're never 'empty! And THAT, I call success!!!! Feel me?

1 Love!!! C.J.

[calicoast58]

Mothers finest thankyou

[terrryc]

Imagine them with the Tower of power horn section......

[trewolla1960]

Thank God for for Mothers Finest My wife and I have been fans since we were in high school back in the 70's in Georgia anyone remember seeing them at the Dog Day Rockfest in Atlanta?? Damn!! those were the days man!!

[charlesstewartrandal]

Freakin ridiculous good! Been a fan but haven't seen this video. Why MF has been locked in obscurity I'll never know. Some of the best musicians on the planet in that style of music. Silly! I LOVE them.

[HighMaintenance2099]

STILL out there kickin it !

[gdrbs427]

Mother's Finest IS the world's best kept secret, bar none.

[nettman42]

@gdrbs427

Yes, there must be a Secret Service to prevent them from being superstars! ;)

For me they are!

[pauldavidcrisp]

I saw them at the Starwood in Hollywood in 197something. I was working for SIR studios. This band blew me away. I wish they were still around.

[sarajevoxxyy]

great,.,.

[stilettoghettoband]

Greatest band ever. One of our biggest inspirations.

Stiletto Ghetto

[immer333]

One of the freakin best concerts I´ve ever attended here in DK ever!!!

[dellareese48]

They will be here in sheby nc august 5 live after 5 downtown shelby

[gdrbs427]

Love the breakdown, and Joyce just freestylin' like it flows through her veins. She MAKES you feel it!! Incomparable!!!

[horstb29]

Awesome song!

[hss1949]

OMG if that was released today it would go platinum. These guys put on one of the best shows ever at the Agora in Atlanta back in the day.

[aliasx666]

Saw them 25 years ago, way back in the 80's. It was awesome loud and funky. This thursday I'll see them again in dortmund! :)

[wyzard214]

THE ORIGINAL LINE UP WAS JUST SO CRAZY FUNKY ! Each musician held it's own. The live show was off the chain. LOUD , BAD AND FUNKY ! TURN IT UP AND LISTEN TO THE MOST UNDER RATED BAND IN ROCK HISTORY !

[wyzard214]

The most under rated band in Rock history ! They can funk , they can rock , Joyce can take it to the stage with tina tuner any day of the week and hold her own , and her husband's lead vocals are not the best but they compliment her voice with conviction. The Wyzard on bass can hold his own with the best of Bass players. He shows the rage of Flea and can show the sweetness of Marcuss miller mixed with the raw fury of Larry Graham ! Turn it up and listen to one bad ass band !

[PhunkyPhil72]

yo funk it sista!

[MrBassSlapp]

HELL YEAH !!! :)

[tubimusic]

Mothers Finest hat ein Baby, es heißt :  Gossip

[Serafinos]

Mothers Finest -- June Jam 1979 -- Atlanta, GA

[mrnipmip]

i saw them at dekalb college when i was in school there , i stood right in front of the speakers the whole show fuckked uppp and loving it. oh yeah the producers opened the show my ears rang for a week.

[bcadle123]

I was at that show at Dekalb College. It was in '80, '81, or maybe '82 ? And yes, the Producers opened for them. That was back in the day!

[GroovnonLKN]

@bcadle123

Can't remember the year to save my life but might have been the fall of 1981. A really good friend of mine was the sound engineer for The Producers. I was there from set up to take down. What a show!!!

[bnasty244]

One bad azz mfing band!!!!!

[elvelymate]

for

[benediktstehle]

YESSSSS YESSSSS YESSSSS!!!!!thanks for posting!!!

[MazterGuitarz]

@benediktstehle

Great,

Saw them in '79, in a small town in Sweden,Karlstad..

Got the same feeling when I watch this video, it was very alike this concert!

And kind of 10 years After...!

I saw her in Gothenburgh, as a solo performance..

And Joyce "Baby Jean" Kennedy still that great..

Pure joy!!!

Cheers...

[472THUNDER]

GREAT /THIS IS REAL MUSIC AND THE BULLSHIT THATS AROUND TODAY

[RGBosticII]

Baby Jean, is a Goddess!

[zonblack]

MF put the worse ass kicking on my band at the NEC in san antonio, texas we ever had. They took all the Gigs. They slammed our ass so bad that we did not want to play. We were wondering why are we last? They should have had us play before them. Hahahahaha. I will never ever forget that. They were bad as hell and still bad. And we thought we were the shit then hahahaha what a Joke!

[acaterpiller]

Now THAT is a voice and a brilliant song!

[OrgenaII]

@acaterpiller agree, her vioce is on another level, the whole band is smokin.

[shballard]

We played in Gainesville in the early 70's and they played at the same club. They were absolutley awesome, and good people too.

[sammydoutt1]

BB queen on the drum kit ..

[sammydoutt1]

beyonce aint gotshit on baby jane..

[briandlil19]

[crowelett01]

HELL YEAH !! ROCK ON MOTHER's FINEST. YOU ARE STILL ONE OF THE BEST BAND's OF THE 80's AND NOT TO MENTION YOU ARE GEORGIA GROWN !!

[Inbedade]

Thanks Walter , "It's !!!! amazing!!!"
