I don't disagree, but the Tower of Power horns belong in the conversation, as well.

T. O. P can certainly be in the conversation of force and power but when it comes to style, feeling and groove, no contest. The JB's had set the standard. Soul power, baby!

We need a Maceo/TOP love twin bill!

I love 💕 Tower of Power, the Memphis Horns, Earth, Wind & Fire horns, Chicago, Cameo and Brass Construction too, but no horns section in the history of the world even comes close to the Mighty JBs. That's because, with the leadership and direction of the Legendary James Brown, the JBs literally INVENTED Funk. Though Fred Wrsley, Maceo and Pee Wee were trained horn players, James Brown taught them how to forget about the horn parts of a song and instead, make the horns an intricate part of the groove. The JBs were not the accompaniment of the groove.... THEY WERE THE GROOVE ITSELF!

I don't know about that. Tower of Power is pretty amazing man.

What year was the concert?

@@connorkimbler7284 The Shows featured on the album and the video were April 12,13, and 14, 1994 I believe.

Omg... i envy u...

me too. 3 hours dancing.

When I hear those horns God made them so wonderful and the rest of the band sound so good

HE’S A BAD MAN !

One Bad Fother Mucker

Brother, you are RIGHT ON THE MONEY with this comment. Fred Wesley came out of the Army expecting to go to New York and become a Jazz trombonist, but he was broke and needed work so a friend (Pee Wee Ellis) told him that James Brown was hiring. Fred auditioned for The Godfather and basically thought the man was insane. He said James Brown didn't understand the structure of music and Fred really wasn't happy about the idea of playing the kinda groove melodies that JB created, but he needed the work so he stayed. Well, the rest is history. James Brown proved to be a GENIUS and created a whole new formula for music (The One), where the band hit its hardest notes on the ONE count of the groove and now we have a new world order. But you already knew this. I know you knew this because your comment reflects the love and loyalty you have for James Brown and his Funky Discliples. There's only one thing I disagree with in your comment and I hope you will edit it for me: Since Pee Wee Ellis is the one of the most legendary sax players to ever live and was the man that introduced Fred Wesley to James Brown and Maceo, I think you will agree that we must honor his name by Capitalizing the "P" and the "W". Right? Brother, you are a real one. Stay Funky.

What was it called back then?

fact!

YES!

And amazing bass player!

Check out George Benson’s live performance of On Broadway at the Cafe Wha! Great bass

Sho is, nothing but pocket!!

Perfect groove. Never overplayed. Amazing on the bridge. The way he plays relative to the snare is a revelation to me.

Jerry Preston

Yes Lawd !

S et zdddzzez s s#teeter f*Reed à Azarenka ddass did & & awesome

OMG, you are sooo right. People have no real understanding of just how incredible and how original these musicians were. They pack auditoriums and stadiums for copycat acts like Beyonce' and Bruno Mars, Taylor Swift and Cardi B., yet overlook the very foundation of music when they fail to attend these amazing concerts. They have no idea that these were the musicians that honed their craft under the tuteledge of the Mighty James Brown and created the very essence of Funk. It's sad that today's music fans have no clue what"music" really is.

Reason why the majority of his concerts are overseas. Americans don't appreciate his brilliance.

I've seen him a bunch of times and it's always a great show. It's a shame we live in a world where everybody knows who Britney Spears is but nobody knows who Maceo Parker is.

You were very lucky, I’d of dropped everything and flown to Vegas for that.

Pros

Wonder if it's as awesome as the original, from their album LIFE ON PLANET GROOVE

so far, 3 mins, it IS

I was not disappointed. Awesome.

Πολύ καλος

Funky Jazz

The 3 horn players were in James Brown's band back in the day!

Bernard Edwards played some awesome stuff with BC Rich Eagles for a while as well. High-quality stuff, not just for metalheads...

Let's remember Beethoven was indeed a BLACK man as well

This is the type of music we would love to hear more of here in New Zealand

✔💯👍👍👍

I'm lucky enough to have seen him live twice. But it's worth mentioning that he's one of the hardest working keep-on-touring cats in the entire biz. So I BETTER have seen him at least once, being a sax player myself! Good God!

It’s not what they’re drinking…..but what they’re not drinking that has them doing well!

No taste.
