[bonesworld2]

Great! I have a live Brothers Johnson concert from 1977 on tape and Louis went for blood. He hit everything flawlessly. Thanks for this one!

[memyself2k]

You're welcome. My mother had the album, "Look Out For No.#1" when I was a kid and the song as well as Louis Johnson's bass playing brought back memories.

[1980Triumph]

cassette tape or video tape?

[bonesworld2]

Got it on cassette tape. Our R&B station in Philly broadcast it via satellite and I stayed late that night up to record it. 32 years ago. Whew!! Gonna run it through my Mac to make a digital copy.

[678080]

this just does'nt make any sense. Larry started it. Louis finished it !

[csuflasher]

[DESMYTTER]

Louis (brothers) Johnson is my favorite bassplayer. Many Thanks for the add. Alain

[memyself2k]

You're welcome. My mother bought this album featuring this song back in the late 70s when I was just a kid. The other song on that album was the original version of Quincy Jone's "Tomorrow" which was all instrumental. A young Tevin Campbell did the vocals on Quincy's version.

[memyself2k]

I was about 7 when these brothers were out-and I'm glad you appreciate good music youngster. You're quite welcomed.

[bshahiyd]

Louis and George were ON THE ONE back in the day. I was fortunate to have met them after a performance in Atlanta Ga a few years ago. BEAUTY & FUNK PERSONIFIED!!

[memyself2k]

You were very fortunate.

[bshahiyd]

I CONCUR THANX!!!

[ynotebut]

I was at this concert!! Most amzing concert I have ever been 2.  With the festival style seating place was jam packed & the air was so thick you got a buzz whether you wanted 2 or not! On the floor & I remember people were so f'd up they'd just pass out, crowd would stand back, they'd get carried out & you moved up in their spot. It was the battle of the thumbs. That night both LG & LJ looked there thumbs were a foot long and a blur. I think Ray Parker, Jr, & Raydio opened . Memories!!

[memyself2k]

I was but a little boy in the 70s. I wish I was old enough to go. My mother had their albums and I played them to death.

[Edalrela]

I love the end of the song.. That's cool

[memyself2k]

Funky!

[drgroove]

bootsy+larry graham=louis johnson

[virtue737]

[ITucker29]

I can't stop watching this!!! Damm!!

[memyself2k]

The joint is funky!!!

[onebasshit]

i was truly blessed to have seen louis in his prime...words can't describe it

[Boseda]

speechless

[ddesign63]

All I can say is, "THANK YOU"!  WOW!

PEACE

[memyself2k]

You are quite welcome.

[geosh78]

the first time I saw them was the same night I saw Larry Graham & GCS @ the Capital Centre in Landover, Maryland, on June 17, 1977 my first "big" concert. Lotta bass that night. On one song Graham broke the G, then D string and never missed a beat. It was incredible. It would have funked you up.

[memyself2k]

Now that is something I would have loved to experienced.

[geosh78]

It would blown you away because it was festival style (no seats on the arena floor) so more people could pack into the place. Lightening hit the bldg prior to the show and the power was out for 2 hrs +, not one person left. Larry's 15 minute bass screaming solo was incredible at the end of "Earthquake" blew everybody's mind. Obviously, I'm a big GCS fan. LOL.

[memyself2k]

That makes me wish I was a little older to experience that.

[mafguitars]

the only thing i ever have seen of them, before youtube, was the "stomp" video, and even that for only 2 times....I'm a real great admirer of Louis, and i cannot tell how glad i am whit all this......

Thanks very much for charing !

[memyself2k]

You're quite welcome. I was a fan of these brothers from the times of my youth. Preteen that is.

[ITucker29]

I can never get enough of this performance!!

[memyself2k]

Neither can I.

[ITucker29]

This is just funk at its best!! God bless you for posting this video!!! Louis Johnson is one funky brother!! Thunder Thumbs!!

[memyself2k]

Thunder thumbs he is!

[MissFunkentelect]

Louis Johnson's a baaaad boy! Funky!

[Crustybrown]

Thanks for putting this back up, took it a bit for granted last time!

[memyself2k]

No problem. I am glad I also had this performance. We don't appreciate things until they are gone.
