the trombonist is superlative

When I'm depressed I turn to Kid Creole. I love this.

My favourite Coconut song 😊👍❤️🇦🇺

That trombone was fire

Un concert de Kid Créole est toujours assuré d un ambiance de folie !

Kid Creole....incredible band leader, arranger, composer......musicianship, showmanship.....DAMN!!!!!

This is getting me through 2020. I watch it every day.

This hypnotising rhythm, trombone solos, epic stage moves of Kid and Mundi are making me watch this video every day. True show, wish I was there.

The trombone player is amazing as is this whole performance!

i say to my self : lets listen just 1 minute to remember the nice beat. but i end allways watching and enjoying every single second of it!

Un grand concert, joyeux, beaucoup de talent pour tous les musiciens , gaieté, bonheur et danse, le pied total !!!!

Augst Darnell...the man...the band, they were ahead of their time. So Friggin' Cool.

This should be mandatory viewing for all music fans. One of the greatest live performances ever right here.

At the top of their game! Spectacular!

Great entrance bopping out during that great trombone solo, I was fortunate enough to see them a few times opening for Fishbone, English Beat and the Toasters.

This is arguably one of the greatest things i've ever seen on youtube. To this... i say yes.

Anyone that disputes the fact that this is one of the best performing acts of all time then they must go check their ears :D epic performance all round with Lee Robertson out of this world .

there's rhythm, melody, harmony, good vocals, groove, timing, improvisation...ahhh Music!!!!

The bass player is so cool and the trombonist is so hot. Kid Creole does not hog the stage and that's why he is so great.

Love to see everyone up and dancing, such a rarity with today's shows! Bring back the old days!

I have now been totally and completely entertained! Outstanding!

Kid muss man im Leben gesehen und gespürt haben einfach eine tolle geniale Band von Kleidung und der Bühnen Dekoration und der Musik war und bin ich immer noch begeistert.....tolle Zeit

Listening in Oct 2020. Great showman, great band, great music.

What a show. The days when music was real and live. Amazing mix of James Brown and Sphongle, with colorful jazz & rhythm. Wish I had seen it in those days, but had other musical tastes back then. Great to see it on youtube now. Thanks!

I had forgotten how cool Kid Creole is. This video reminded me in no uncertain terms. I am having a KZfaq Kid Creole binge. It's truly brilliant, best 'tube time ever!!!!

That trombone player HOLY SHIT. THIS WHOLE THING, HOLY SHIT!

SUPERRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!HI.....I suddenly had a flash.....from older nice times...dancing in clubs...!THANK YOU

8 minutes de bonheur tout simplement

Amazing! The people at this concert got their money's worth.

how have i missed this for almost twenty years?

Love his classic face features... loving his Cab Calloway style, very classy man 👏👏👏👏

Blessed be DBOSB and all incarnations hereafter. Love foreverer., Sonny Browder, August Darnell (Kid Creole) Coati Mundi (Andy Hernandez), Tommy Sevilla, and, of course, diva songstrees, Cory Daye My love for you overflows ...eternally.

that trombone player is having a fieldday :D this is so awesome :D

Bloody awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanx for posting!

This is how a party is meant to be :)

Now that's how you do a performance. Live and in your face. Do it BIG . He reminds me of Cab Calloway

Started in 1980, and is still performing. Impressiv is a mild word for it.

The "Kid" sure knows how to wear those clothes, cool as they come!

Fiestaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!! Enorme Kid Creole, genial Coati Mundi, maravillosas coconuts, cuántos recuerdos de un inmenso concierto al aire libre en La Baule, 82 ó 83?

Many bands absolutely do not sound this good live today!!

flipping brilliant- early 80's (and 70's) was in a REALLY abusive relationship-the coconuts were so free and gorgeous- made me question my life- saw this on tele- this is my funeral song- aint nothin but a party time xx

Trombone rocks!

Outstanding trombone player.

Kid is fantastic, to be sure, but let me say to the folks who are commenting that they've never seen such superb stagecraft and production, that actually, years ago, such a grand approach was more common: setting a spell with a long deadly groove, really getting down with it, and building on it until it's just too much, then doing it to you all the more. To do with in such style like Kid Creole does takes a lot of care in planning and staging, and as touring got rockier and rockier financially, more and more got cut from the bands that had a similar approach -- horn sections went, percussion sections went, staging, back-up singers, and so on all got cut,. but back when band leaders could play out big ideas and had good ideas worth playing out, it was a more common approach. If you want to go 'WAY back, you can see the venerable Cab Calloway, who Kid probably considered a god (just a guess on my part, but it's a guess I'd bet on), show a little bit about how 'grand' was done with the Nicholas Bros back in the days when grand was the calling card to have, buckle in and check out kzfaq.info/get/bejne/lZ6peqqlu7HWdGw.html . And check out the live peformance of Kid singing Stool Pigeons -- the lovely Coconuts are in it. I don't know why they're not in this song.

NYC Music 1980's the best

Masterpiece Lee R blowing !!!

Excellent clip. The Kid was so cool and it still shows here.

BRILLIANT!!!!

Funk at its best, I had forgotten how dam good Kid Creole is , and well his coconuts ! Yummy

Dr B uzzard and the Savannah Band has morphed into something much cooler!

It's the horns....who does shows like this anymore? Outstanding!

Kid Creole was ahead of his time. As a matter of fact the rest of us still haven't caught up.

Kid Creole and The Big Band...Light & Love...

That bass player has some serious groove.

Best video on youtube.

Goes out immaculately and completely attired in black, comes back on immaculately and completely attired in white! Superb showmanship and an excellent band. I miss that approach.

Shame on me for forgetting the greatness of Kid Creole.

saw this tour live in malmö/sweden back in 1985 (or 1986?) as a 'little boy'. it blew me away, as you all can imagine. i'm very thankful for the vhs vid of the london show i got later for christmas. i remember buying my first kid creole vinyl in late 1986 and how disappointing it was to realize how short this track is as the album version.

This is like the best performance I've ever seen. Like maybe number 1 if I was making a top 5. Thank you so much for posting this.

Every time I see this band I think Prince, Blockheads, Osibisa, and Fun, Fun, Fun....and of course COCONUTS!

Only one chord, but this song is ingenious!!! And the Kid Creole and his band are genius!!!!

Brilliant showmanship all around!! August and Coati are geniuses!!

I saw them several times live. Great band.

Greatest song ever invented thank you Kid Creole I salute

Considering the crap that was around at the time - this music is pure genius!

Kid Creole is the only person I've ever wanted to be.....

Incredible! Under rated talent.

Love this group and there music. Play more , I can't get enough.

I will tell you what makes the so wonderful. Aside from the awesome performance, The director did not cut away every millisecond so you really get the true sense of the performance. Tom M.

The year is 2019 and this is still head shoulders above all else.

The man (Kid Creole is a genius!

great jam the trombone player nails it non stop wat a performer

Regrettably, the music of Kid Creole wasn‘t very successful in the U.S. In Europe it was different; their Rockpalast concert in Germany 1979 was amazing for the audience.

Ironically, it appears they HAVE taken his coconuts !!

Ya no hay grupos asi !!!! TEMAZO!!! A mover el esqueleto!!!

I have really enjoyed this !

simplemente EXTRAORDINARIO ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

A Kid Creole concert is always a good time!!!

love this song and the band!

What a performance! Lee Robertson absolutely nailed it. Love the Kid and the show he puts on

Que pedazo de TROMBONISTA. BUENISIMO

See, I kept singing this song to my friends and I got the same answer from all of them during different occasions. They asked me what island I was from. Guess they just didn't believe that this song actually existed.

Saw this live when it was being broadcasted...was just a toddler back then.... can't get over how awesome this was and will continue to be. Kid and his gang! Wooooh! Outstanding music, outstanding performance. Viva the 80s!

i love this- dunno why it is not no 1 forever

Esto si era musica!!!! No como la porqueria de ahora!!!!

Who forgot how good this is. So tight it’s loose.

Now if this does not put you in a party and dance mood, better check your pulse since you are probably dead

saw them life `82 at an open air in Augsburg/GER with black uhuru, Roger ChAPMAN;; Trio Ideal and others. I was there as a security, but I let some people jump the fence to get in.

Das war eines meiner besten Konzerte, die ich je gesehen habe, top !

simply amazing! love the show!

just one of the best versions

The band is superb.

They have to put this video in the wikipedia entry for the word "Show"

What a great bass player!!

Sheer brilliance all round and without doubt the best song ever about a divorce.

i was there it was the hammersmith odeon early 80's..still have my ticket somewhere...was a great show..xx

I saw his 1982 Tour at Portsmouth Guildhall, UK . It was only the 2nd live gig I’d ever seen. Stool Pidgeon was in the charts at the time. blew my 15 year old mind in terms of the theatricality of the performance. and so many people on stage! Quite exotic in the days of four hairy blokes with guitars! Or four equally hairy blokes but with awful makeup and a synthesizer!

I seen Kid Creole at the Glasgow Apollo twice in 1983 and 84, they nearly took the roof off the whole place

Accidently happened upon this video. SO MUCH FUN! had forgotten this group even existed. Thanx muchdeepspacer for posting!

growing up in Argentina my dad had this on vinyl and that latin-injected roots reggae beat captivated us...i'd dance all over the living room. oh childhood memories! ^^;
