I remember buying this album in 1972, when I was still living in the south of England. I came over to the States in 1981 and made sure it came over with me. I waited forever to a see re-run of this concert on TV and I mean FOREVER! It never happened, I finally was able to watch it on youtube after I had at last did away with my dial up Internert Service. That same year we lost Michael. Go figure!!
@sex6cult9revolution No doubt about it! It's at :27 ... the baseline + the insane crowd scream was sampled in 'By the Time I get to Arizona" by PE. I think the original was done by Isaac Hayes, but this version is way heavier. Legendary.
I remember being sure I didn't miss this special! I'm not embarrassed to say after seeing the Jackson 5 on TV, I was inspired to bass guitar. And I've been playing over 30 years.
@drsonwhy43 I remember it like it was yesterday. Me and my older sister watched it along with the neighbors kids who were our friends. it was real cool back then. one thing I remember is that the streets were very quiet because everyone was at home watching the show!!!
Man the very beginning is tight. Everyone take your eyes off Mike for a minute, rewind it a few takes and see what I mean - each brother got down. They gave you a show and that's what I remember. Amphitheatre anyone?
I remember going to this concert back in the 70's! I was on top of the world. I STILL remember the feeling. =) I remember this routine very well and I went home and wore out that Going Back To Indiana album OUT. haha Life was sweet back then!! Music was GREAT! The Jackson's will forever be loved by me. Thank so much for posting this. Great memories.
Joseph was smart. If the older boys had danced like Mike and Marlon pumping their hips they would have been called vulgar at that time and thrown off TV, but he let the little boys dance and how could anyone sensor or call a little boy vulgar? We had never seen dancing like that, and it was exciting! It made the Jacksons a household name black and white.
much as i love mj and i like this performance but i just think michael just started out to young doing all this stuff it just seem like to much pressure in work even though he was good at it he was just a little boy still growing up.having even lived life yet!!!if i was that young in talented i would rather wait intill im older to get in show bussiness.but mike was too good its like he was meant to start out at that age.
These young brothers are DESTROYING that stage!!! Listen to the misic that Tito and Jermaine are laying down...the dance steps...the vocals!!!! I remember when this special came on TV we were GLUED to the tv!!! MEMORIES!!!! Chicago up in here!!!
from 0:00 to 1:40 ws the BEST dance moves I have EVER seen from the Jacksons!!!! They were so precise!!! I had to watch that beginning over, cause I couldn't believe Mike and marlon's "humping"!!! ha ha ha Hilarious!!!
that camel walk is like a moonwalk going forward. Mike is an afro american institution. Greatest of all time.
The most influential figure of all our lives in any industry. Prince, Madonna, McCartney noone can comand the attention of the Thriller. He was the best from the day Ms. Katherine delivered him.
LOVE IT!!!!! Yeah MJ you rocked it at eleven years of age, and kept us on the edge right to the very end....Miss your beautiful, electric spirit so much, from boy to man, brother to father, lover to husband and forever performer you were the BEST! Sleep peacefully beautiful soul.
on my momma! DID U SEE HOW THEY WAS POPPIN(mike and marlon lol they like ww & 12 killin the adults) when that shit first came on? this is fuckinn unspeakable lol the beatles aint fuckin with the jacksons
Michael did that humping on the beat on the first thing on this video back on their first TV appearance at a Beauty show in 69, Marlon just did it better in this video, go to jackson 5 Its your thing rare on YouTube!
psa sounds NUTHIN like this. none of these elements are found in the sound at all. even the tempo is dif. if anything there MAY have been an interpolation of a piece of the song, but for the most part not there.
in fact THE REMIX is def sampled up, but u didnt comment on the remix! te comment came from the original PSA, and again this aint that ! furthermore jay didnt flow on the remix. but its wuteva.
Em uma emissora de tv bem no início da década de 70 este especial do Jackson Five estreava, eu menino fiquei fascinado com a agilidade dessa performance do irmãos, agora aos 47 anos posso ver estas imagens de novo, parabéns para quem enviou, obrigado, por que procurei minha vida toda por estas imagens, pois na minha época não tínhamos aparelhos domésticos para gravarmos. obrigado
One of the things that stood out to me is that Berry Gordy could have actually let them create their own stuff. They were all talented enough to at least play their own instruments in the studio
I recorded this on a tape recorder from the airing of the Goin' Back To Indiana special in '71, and my band (Hot Trash) played for the grade 7&8s in February. The tape was a treasure since I was young and couldn't afford records. I haven't seen the show since! Thanks for posting this!!!
Damn it That's A HIT RECORD DONE BY A HIT ACT! THE J5 A DRUMMER & KEYBOARD PLAYER....THAT'S OL SKOOL! NO 20 DANCERS JUST THEM! FRONTED BY THE KING OF POP !R.I.P.
They ARE the BEST, Thank you Jacksons, There will NEVER be another like MJ, we will always be the greatest entertainer in history, God blessed the world with his gifts of song that touch so many world wide and brought smiles to old and young. God bless the Jacksons
This is 'bitten from Issac Hayes, who did a remake of Dion Warwick's walk on by... they made it thier own! I used to scream my head off when they used to do this! WALK ON!
Thanks Babe but I'm almost 50 & I REMEMBER all that info you just delivered. I saw the J5 back in '71 when this routine was a highlight of their show. Plus I had a shirt like Mike is wearing but my collar wasn't so extreme.
