Great!

This is the DVD called: The Lost Tapes. I bought it in Santa Clara County CA about ten years ago. Haven't seen it anywhere else since.

[thesleevelesstease]

oh, I'm in love!

[Buckeyecat2002]

I lost this tape in my garage. This was when JB's career was bobbing and weaving during the wane of the disco era.

[Phunkville]

Found this back in the day in a used bin for a few dollars. Incredible snap shot of James at the end of his prime. 'Sex Machine' starts @ 16:00, the next 20 minutes are indeed one of the finest performances I've ever witnessed live or recorded. I've shown this performance to many people.

[Servant2All]

@Phunkville I FEEL you. The good stuff MUST be shared...

[MagicBoy241]

I can't stop watchin' this! 

[MagicBoy241]

WOw! loved every minute of this performance. What's the title of the song they played at 44:47. Loved it.

[Servant2All]

@MagicBoy241 I am sorry, but I don't even KNOW the name of the song at 44:47. But James was the type of entertainer who would make a song out of a GROOVE that he liked during a life performance and just GO with it. And you wouldn't know it 'cause you could seldom understand his lyrics - replete with guttural sounds as they were - without them written down to follow... 

[Phunkville]

@Servant2All The song is called 'Eyesight' taken from the album 'Jam 1980's' which was actually released in 1978 or 1979. (James always to be ahead of the times!) The studio version is slick funk at its' finest, this live version is a little rougher.

[Servant2All]

@Phunkville Thanks.

[MagicBoy241]

@Phunkville Thanks a lot Phunkville. I prefer this live version for some reason. I don't know, at the moment for me it just feel it just feels right. Its become a part of me now.

Anybody know the band line-up for this gig~? Or the drummers at least?

Amazing show. Dallas '68 is brilliant too, but I've only ever found audio of it.

Thanks Servant2All, keep it Funky!!

[Servant2All]

@thflam I GOTS to keep it funky...

[Phunkville]

@thflam drummers are Tony Cook and Arthur Dickson. From this point forward they stayed with James up until the end.

[thflam]

@Phunkville Cheers, keep it Funky!

[superdude874]

@Odiculeoj I'm afraid I don't. But. if the information makes it's way to me, I will definitely update you.

[IkeDyson71]

@Servant2All

How do you post an hour-long video on here?

[Servant2All]

@IkeDyson71 YouTube recently upped the upload limits for "select" users who had "followed the rules of the community". I seem to have been one of these people. AND - since I don't want to relinquish this privilege - I am now making sure to post Amazon links to purchase products such as these so as to not antagonize those who might mount a copyright challenge.

@Servant2All yessir
