[C45ACCTE]

Amazingly talented bunch of dudes! Not many performers look like they enjoy performing, but these guys nailed it.

[indiemikeart]

Keytar Solo murdered it.

[OceanPeace3]

Darren King of Mutemath sent me to this video! EPIC song.

[Cornelius135]

Do you think they ever get tired of performing this song? I listen to them like, every day, so it's got to repetetive eventually...

[Cornelius135]

Whenever I try to dance like that, my friends yell at me... of course that's in the middle of class...

[nibsvkh]

Great performance..How is it that the audience is not dancing?

[MegaHightown]

[letsdreamthatdream]

I love this :D

[TheTeslanova]

großartig, fabelhaft, funky

[fsol13]

That moog keytar tone is the best thing ive heard all week.

[greenepool1122]

Wow!! Amazing!! Back when music meant something.That solo is the SHIT!!!

[MrThejoker9669]

Reminds me of back to the future when Marty is on stage rockin it

[marcarr2010]

Im white and I know all about rhythm and soul brotha. ever been to see any wsp, the grateful dead, jerry joesph and the jack mormons or any other jam bands for that matter? full of white folks getting funky

[MCDirdyBirdy]

I am dancing right now. I got their moves down. I am typing this without looking at the keys, while dancing. Rythmn's in the heart, not the skin. Lesson.

[dirge9]

How can the whitest of people not eventually move to this?

[TheEchovoices]

@dirge9

lol

[idanmiz55]

Like !!!!!!

[roasdirector]

Look/listen at the solo of that keyboard gitarist guy oooh my god orgasm

[marqstheman]

What's up with the crowd? Haha terrible audience, the band is all rocking out and the crowd is just standing there doing absolutely nothing. Hahaha great performance though.

[jocee3]

These guys used to sing, dance and play an instrument at the same time and still sound as good as the original recording. Today's artist can't even dance and sing at the same time...well, not good anyway, and most of them can'tt even play an instrument.

[mhtinla]

The keyboard solo in the mid section is INSANE! And the back-to-back dance is so fun(ny) ;-)

[cicakdisco]

i wish there's this version on mp3

[benbirdy]

crazy energetic thing goin on ova there..

[darulakhyar]

the crowd are so stiff..

[reynalta]

WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MARAVILHOSO!!!!!!!!!!

AMO KOOL AND THE GANG!!!

SÃO OS MELHORES DE TODOS OS TEMPOS

[187bloodgangsta]

[MrWorldWide91]

21 people are racist.

[sharlarmar]

Folks! This is another song by Cool & The Gang, This is when James " J.T " Taylor was with the group, before he went to solo.Get Down On It!!! Infact, this group has treated us with great music back in the days. Get down, but take it easy { Suave }

[aecro]

omg, that solo is so damn awesome!

[timmyD5588]

This song is so sweet!! It makes me wanna get down n dance!!! ..=)

[Tiduses1]

This live version is soooooooooooo awesome

[averqueveohoy]

BRAVO!!!!! BRAVO!!!!!!!!BRAVISIMO!!!!

[Somanous]

This blew my brains out!!!!! Caaan't stop mo-vin'!!!!!!

[Botulizard]

The drummer's all business.

[opie327]

It doesn't get any funkier than that!

[blitzgreg1]

the European crowd may seem dead, but they are usually enthralled by musicianship nand the showmanship. its a different culture, they enjoyed every drop of it i know for sure, they are very cultured and restrained people.

[fohos]

Needs more solitaire.

[Dropshot38]

THAT SOLO CAN AWAKE THE DEAD!!!

[wesosish]

...

[pepeadri]

i feel so... white

[betonauta]

19 people listened to that solo and STILL have their backs up the wall.

[HoppiTeam]

AMAZING SOLO

[glamourgirl1938]

I Love how that Kool and the Gang are so fun and interactive with the audience (tho most of them seem dead!) It was cute when the guy in the top hat pulled that lady in the red jumpsuit from the audience and they just started boogeying down!! Now that's hot!!!!

If a person in the audience tried to come onto the stage and dance with Bieber, or somebody today, they'd have the security and the SWAT team swooping down like nobody's business!!!

[scooternak53]

Now that's entertainment!!!

[romilfra]

ADORO ..ESSA MUSICA..

[forbiddensociety]

I wanna get down.

[argaretbea]

Another Justin Bieber fan has joined. Hope their mum changed their nappy beforehand.

[againstalloddsonaetv]

hahaha the drummer is sweating like hell!!

[rastagirliana]

damn check out those moves!!!!! gotta love it... 

[ceewithsomepeas]

I AM HOOKED ON THIS SONGGG!!!! :O :P!!!

[2hands12]

[TheItalianoMafiosi]

2:39 EPIC!!!

[lorrinbraddick]

[daryllynch]

sha ma la da ba da ba

[Pkumar1923]

Love the song but it sounds like there playing it to fast compared to the iTunes one. And ya the new era of music is crap.

[Scourgeandmephiles93]

Let's thumbs up everyone who thinks the new era of music is shit!

[spokeshole]

Today's music is sh*t. I really miss the GOOD stuff.

[nealdoggy]

Love it. Check out Space Capone, a new band that's heavily influenced by EW&F and K&G, real music by real musicians.

[1970wideboy]

that's music - great show!!!!

[Specht50]

keytar solo EPIC

[obabamaiu]

those suits man.... THOSE SUITS!!!!

[P90X490104]

This was when entertainers really had talent. No computerized gimmicks, just singers, dancers and mainly musicians; Kool, Ohio Players, Earth Wind & Fire....totally awesome entertainment; a shame this does not exist today and as for the crowd; haha, white people do not know how to get down, but check out Jungle Boogie on the Midnight Special, I think you may see some of the caucasian persuasion trying their best to get down there. PEACE!

[cocco2005]

Grandiosi, col ritmo nel sangue!

[P90X490104]

Singers, dancers, musicians.........live........­...now that's talent. I miss those days when you were truly entertained. Nothing today compares with ol' school.

[ZEPPHISHPELIN6]

2:50 but mostly 0:00 :)

[motokingfantasista]

gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooood

[jayzon831]

Wtf, why's the crowd so dead? How can you not move to this?

[rakoonie]

@jayzon831 i know they look like the'ry in a funeral haha

[x1mastershake1x]

@jayzon831

FOR REAL

if i saw this live, best believe i'd be gettin down on it

[Helinaeh]

@jayzon831 They're white. (as am I ;D )

[maximiliancohen]

@jayzon831 It's all that white people, hahaha !!!

[ricbowenjr]

@jayzon831 That´s was evidently a gig they had in Europe in the early 80´s, a TV audience could´nt make movement in those days, weird rules..and stiff European society..but I think they really wanted to!

[dfenn1]

@jayzon831 cuz the crowd is white no offense to whites but they dont know anything about soul or rhythm like that

[MCDirdyBirdy]

@dfenn1 I am white. I would have been dancing. To the beat, I might add.

[edpinner]

dang I saw them at Hammersmith Odean circa 1983 - still tingle

[snowwolf9210]

has only white people in the audience !! :O

[lolgiggetyroflomg]

What in the world is wrong with this crowd? Obviously they did NOT get down on it.

[Amazone1967]

This music ... there will be young again



[707MTP420]

Shooooot.... Bout to get light on my feet!

[CEManor]

This song still slams. 

[kooltoni]

MY FAVOURITE SONG OF KOOL AND THE GANG... I LOVE IT!!!

[kanesgirl623]

This is a def, def song!!

[johnnybigdick69]

Classic! Not many artists can even sing live like that anymore.

[Sharlamayne]

I love Kool and the Gang. I used to dance to their music ALL NIGHT LONG!!!

Just the best!!!

[fredoman]

i love the keytar part.

[peteybuoy]

[crazyfunnyname]

[huntersivins]

Get down with your bad selves and rock on!

[ZataMachi]

[AaronBurwell19]

[koolizm1000]

[Warrize]

*Bows to the Gods of Funk!

[AboyWhisKeyboard]

[steveinusa]

[coolkid541785]

[Diamonds7771]

[kmp3000]

Big Tuuuuune!

[skunkhead2006]

[grallison]

Some of the greatest showmanship in this group ever

[Lorraine2612]

Oh yes, those afro's, the Liberty Club at RAF Lakenheath, and the Galaxy Club at RAF Mildenhall !! :)

[NewDuppyConqueror]

damn, wanna have this kinda keyboard too! :D

[nichtsdamitzutun]

Fantastic performance! Though I'm sure a certain white substance was involved...

[BacheKhala]

daaamnnnn wat a great show! I wish I was there :(

[SaturdayNight90]

Wow i'm gonna see them next month ! i't gonna be great !

[brucebaj1964]

There is nothing better than watching a live band perform their hits live...... Can't beat that

[prospexx]

Wow, I need exatly these overalls for me and my colleagues for theoffice ;-) ! God bless these old stuff! Thanx! I got my back up of the wall!

[tamerelaputejelafuck]

Curtis "Fitz" Williams... the new synthesizer player they recruited by that time...

[tamerelaputejelafuck]

Everyone is 100% in it ! Look at the conga player, the keyboardist, bassist, vocalists ! Everyone !

[rovekid1]

"get your back up off the wall...dance c'mon"....real musicians & singers...synthesisor was the beast back then...

[JamSlick]

We need good disco back. [sigh]

[845chris]

this is a great video. the best of funk that came to the next level. unfortunately, unlike the 70s, great black music suffered relative to airplay in the 80s. great stuff like this was lost but for hip hop. hip hop always got them involved in their rhythm and their hooks. but , black music was left out in the 80s. high quality stuff existed, but was ignored.

[mxnfx]

The difference is todays artist dont even know how too read music, if a computer cant make the beat then there is no song....back in the day these artist wrote all the melodies....Kayne, Jay Z...etc etc etc....all the fakers make millions doing absolutely nothing.....

[MRSAWK]

My Moms shit i Love it xD

[erinwascool]

I've watched all the live videos of this song and this is BY FAR the best. The synth solo is unreal, the dancing is energetic and creative, and the band is unbelievably upbeat despite a horrible crowd. Those fools had no idea the type of powerful FUNK they were witnessing.

I've watched/listened to this at least a hundred times. Now get your back up off the wall!

[845chris]

@erinwascool .. i loved the video , but posted because of you. that crowd was an 80s junk booshit crowd watching the best of the gang. the gang got down on to the commecrial junk of the 80s. but this wasnt it-great post.

[845chris]

@erinwascool , i read most, i typed too fast. this was great funk. then, cool and the gang, great artists, were forced to go white -in the 80s. we are on the same page.

[cooleyballs1]

man,,mezmerising.

[bradclooney]

I didnt realise these guys were fantastic musicians first and foremost,always thought disco was fad. How wrong could i have been

Brilliant

[slister45]

@bradclooney Thank you, from those of us who lived Disco and got chastised and made fun of, and accused of being shallow.

[ALLiLaTioN]

Kool & The Gang - Get Down On It

[pzwumk20]

the synthetiser was on fire!! what a great band! far away from shit like "i laka movit movit" we use to hear on radio nowadays.

[Nyyso1]

It really pisses me off that people listen to justin beaber or rihanna when theres music like this around...

[Music4God83]

2:37 has to be some inspiration for the Macarena...

[kamikazlaz53]

real music

[TiuArTTeK]

TOO FAST... !

[ggguzman]

what i love even more than all of their legendary albums and songs is that they just have soooo much fun on stage every time you see them perform live. ive seen some contemporary rnb pop and rock artists live and they aint got SHIT on kool and the gang when it comes to live performance!

[JamSlick]

Oh please people, nobody mention that Gaga girl on here...Not fair on fans of true music. now lets enjoy this masterpiece and, please, lets not talk about the unfortunate ones. Peace and love. 8)

[eritreangurrl]

seriously maan, most people these days go down to the club to like party to kesha or lady googoo but i just wanna get down on it to some kool and the gang! old school lives forever!

[loftsy69]

That Crowd is Terrible

[Paulguajolotero]

I can't stop watching this video!

[ebfranz]

Bunch a jungle bunnies!

[Dakdizzy]

[CreativeEntertaiment]

[castellanosefrenmd]

Those where great days of music ,when a live band ,with actual instruments performed live. ..........E

GREAT KOOL & THE GANG

[freddypknight]

I know Kool & The Gang well from their beginning but this is the 1st time I've seen this. I'm thrilled to death to see them grooving like this. I grant this total 5 stars upon hearing and seeing it just once.

[TheRealKodizee]
