@Rudarskrutt Hi, I've checked my original files and notes but sorry can't find where it was recorded. Opening and concluding notes on the video don't reveal the place. I also googled it but can't find help there either. Glad if someone can help here.
Everybody knows who The King of Soul James Brown is; but everybody forgets about Joe Tex. Joe could do it all, sing & he could dance almost as good as The Godfather himself. . Joe was really good at singing ballads.
Joe Tex rules! It's glaringly obvious that James Brown completely ripped him off and ran with it. It's sad that Joe Tex never got the credit he deserved, but thanks to Youtube we can all see the truth and appreciate the talent some 40 years later
Joe Tex was one of the most creative Soul artists ever. He effortlessly blended funk, soul, country, and southern rock. It's even said that he is one of the INVENTORS of Funk and that James Brown stole his sound and his girl. Whatever the truth, you can hear it in the music.
For me it goes way deeper, he hit a big nerve with the rock audiences of his day. That changed the direction of pop music forever. He had that party humor and the ability to cross Soul Music over to Rock and vice versa.
@gezaxx - While Joe Tex was a great performer, James Brown did NOT steal his sound! James Brown is now credited with creating funk, 'beginning with 'Papa's Got A Brand New Bag' in 1965. It was on the '1 and 3', not '2 and 4' beat. Joe Tex's songs after this started to copy James Brown's funk.
wow I met this gentleman early 7Os in Chgo, I had just begun my career and he was killing everybody that was on a show with him! What an awesome talent.
What a stellar performance from Joe and his band! He always had a great time onstage, a true natural showman. He brought a bit of comedy to his music. You are sorely missed, Mr. Tex!
Anyone that knows which venue? Någon som vet var i Sthlm det är filmat?

Joe Tex recorded albums in Memphis and Nashville. Noone on Beale is covering him. What a talent.

I don't think so, not that I know of anyhow.
It's from a VHS-recording I made of the show when swedish TV broadcasted it after they've discovered it in their vaults some years ago.

It's sad the animosity that existed between him and JB. That would have been a great show, if they would have had a show together.
