Damn son, couldn’t run this at a little lower flow. The paddle swirl, why? Kinda asked to lose his paddle only holding it with 1 hand and twirling it like a baton

Just magical

Big water 💦

So cool

Thanks to endeavors of bravery such as these, we have beautiful, untamed whitewater and healthy fisheries to be enjoyed and cherished. Pioneers to much more than just the sport of paddling. ❤ 🤙🏼 The n.f. was almost put in tubes! Can you imagine?? 😢

No phones, no chatting during the performance just sheer joy and respect for one of the greats

Such joy

Thank you for posting this Donna. It is so great to see the origins of the sport I love most in this world. I am 21 years old and paddling in a time when the technology and perception of whitewater kayaking is so vastly different, yet, the culture and values remain the same. I have so much respect and admiration for the athletes of that time. Nothing will ever be better than whitewater kayaking and it fills me with joy to know that folks have felt this way for decades.

I remember watching this with some high school friends, probably around 1985 or 1986. They were kayakers and, as Idahoans, felt a strong affinity to Dr. Blackadar, Rob Lesser, and John Wasson. This brings back great memories!

The more I see clips of Bobby THE MORE I WANT TO SEE HIM, Thank You 🎶❤️

Semi controlled non drowning event.

that education

i dont know if you still read these comments donna, but in my opinion this is one of the people that have been able to tap into the human soul in its essence with music alone, we dont even remotely agree with eachother on the political spectrum which should speak to the universalism of music as it is. god bless everyone that views this video

as someone who was a child when this was uploaded to youtube, much less when this was aired on televsion, probably my parents were, this still was super sweet and after a few seconds i barely even noticed the visual glitches because i was so entranced by ear <3

Wow....I've unfortunately only discovered Bobby recently but it appears hes always been a wonderful genius 👏

this is musical therapy at its best! each person must have left that hall on a cloud...😇❤💫

J'en ai eu la chair de poule ❤

Fantastic

What a vocal range...😮

No way

“i can see clearly now” where jacob collier took the inspiration😬

Can't believe i watched this for free 😮

All of the excitement and hype over Jacob Collier... nothing he's done with an audience even comes CLOSE to what Bobby McFerrin did in the 90's.

Its amazing to think these people were part of one a greatest parts of music history

Este video es increíble, es material didáctico para quienes quieren usar y perfeccionar su instrumento vocal, son verdaderos ejercicios para las cuerdas vocales. Aunque llegar a niveles del talento natural del maestro Bobby es difícil, es todo es un placer escucharlo👂👌🎤🎶🎧

I can't get enough of these videos.

Amazing

Дирижер от бога. Управляет целым залом зрителей, которых вовлекает в сам процесс. Браво!

I'm not American, so I lack this piece of socialization. But that display of unity was quite impressing.

2021 actually

1:13 is this the first dab in history?

Anyone else here learn to paddle in a Lettman Mark IV kayak like Walt Blackadar was using? Got my Lettman in 78 the same year Walt got pinned in his.

YES! I LOVE THIS. OLD SCHOOL SPORTS .WHEN MEN WERE REAL MEN. AWESOME. THANKS

It's almost spooky to see someone get thrashed in a hole so bad that it carries their name forever afterwards. I had the privilege of knowing Tom and Irene Murphy, who did some of the pioneering runs down the North Fork Payette with John Wasson, Rob Lesser, Dr. Blackadar and Doug Ammons.

Years ago Bobby appeared at the Tampa Theater alone on a bare stage. He blew our minds! At one point, he said he needed a chorus on-stage, and invited basses to come up. I told our then teenaged son that he'd never have a chance like this, and he was among the first on stage. Then tenors, altos, and sopranos. Bobby said "I need a few more basses," so I got on the back row to let my son have the thrill of front row status. Bobby scatted with the three other sections one at a time, then came over to the basses. He shared the mic with our son, who kept singing the riff Bobby had given us while he scatted. What a memory! Bobby is a genius musical magician.
