There are a few extremely talented artist that as soon as they begin singing you know exactly who they are and that voice is ALWAYS more than just music to your ears. Aaron is one of them. Down here in South Louisiana we always had and knew what the rest of the world was missing out on until his big break came.

This brother is as real & talented as it gets & so is his family.

Thanks for another great video, I'm really happy you use captioning!

[@Nowhereoh]

Thanks. Good to see him. I saw the Neville Bros. w/ Dead 2 nights in a row at Oak. Aud. Mardi Gras/ Chinese New Year. Both nights had really huge celebrations put on by Bill Graham. In the old days his crew would hand out really good apples to everybody going in door. Several times it would be Bill handing me the apple. I saw his son Ivan with Little Feat & Marin county resident Bonnie Raitt. His duet with Bonnie was maybe my fave performance ever. Another great show put on by Bill at Oak. Aud. Bob did a good interviews.

I loved those Neville/Dead tapes! Lucky you saw it

[@TheWesternunionman]

How virtuous

[@rosalyndavis5020]

Great interview based on how. Aaron Neville chose to reply to some of the disrespectful questions.

[@reveroneveron7487]

Thanks for y😛😎☝❤

[@janewright4381]

I Love Aaron’s voice, I meant him in the 60’s when he would pick his sister up from Suno Artellgra. She was in some of my classes.

Lucky for Bob Costas he was interviewing Aaron Neville and not Ice-T or Flavor Flave........to his credit Mr Neville breathed through the blatant "pretty rough" slur. ......Thank you to the Messrs Neville, T and Flave....for your music (even if I don't always like it)

[@ClevelandLiveMusic]

How is "pretty tough" a slur?

[@TheWesternunionman]

@@ClevelandLiveMusic Do you really want to go down this rabbit hole? 5:41Bob Costas..."you and some of the other Neville brothers look like pretty rough characters"....5:55 Aaron Neville..."ah well, I don't know how to answer that, about us looking rough, we look like normal people..."

[@ClevelandLiveMusic]

If Bob Costas had asked Jerry Garcia or Mick Jagger or John Lydon the same question would it be racist?

[@TheWesternunionman]

@@ClevelandLiveMusic that kind of question would not even be asked....it is called white privilege. I actually admire John Lydon. Firstly he has remained faithful to his wife of 40(?) years. He tried to tell the truth about that prick Jimmy Saville, the radio presenter steered the interview away from that topic. In my un-humble opinion Jagger hasn't made a really good album since Tattoo You...I saw the Stones in 2006 and I thought they were the best Stones cover band I had seen. I never was a Dead Head...not a bad band though. Now that I have responded to your specious hypothetical question. I shall return to the truth contained in the video.....Costas smeared the Neville family by default....who was the EP upstairs that day...I would wager you London to a brick.....that it was a man who was/is white. And despite such provocation Mr Neville kept his composure simultaneously exposing exactly as you described the exchange......"racist" thank you for such an incisive observation.

[@ClevelandLiveMusic]

@@TheWesternunionman that kind of question is rather standard in interviews of musicians as their fashion along with their art define subcultures of our society including punk. Hippie, African-American, and everything else under the sun that comprises our combined society. Image, fashion and an artists development have usually been rolled into one. How a band "looks" is open topic to any act.

[@platano3000x]

Wow bob costa asked him he and the brothers look rough???? Wow wow minute 5:38

[@bubbagump2010]

Leave off the captioning/watermarks and your "look at me" introductions. The video speaks for itself. We don't need some attention seeking blowhard ruining it.

[@ClevelandLiveMusic]

Sorry but that's what you will be getting here

[@ClevelandLiveMusic]

Bet you love reaction videos

[@ClevelandLiveMusic]

and the watermarks are to keep other KZbinrs from swiping my work

[@jenniferroush6398]

Blowhard? Maybe you would not be so uptight if you knew what that felt like?

[@SirFistacuffs]

i love the genuine intros. its nice to see effort put in rather than slapping up content and calling it a day like some lazy people cough cough

[@kenjohan]

Why can't that man speak properly?

[@jessiem276]

Which man??

[@janegarner6739]

@kenjojan. I'm unsure whether your comment is meant as tongue-in-check humor or if u are actually asking why Neville speaks in what u believe is proper Am. English. (Also, someone has already asked whether u mean Neville or Costas, a terrific reply to your question.) Having lived in N.O. for most of my life as a resident of the inner city since '76, Aaron's accent in this interview is one of a great many native New Orleanean ways of speaking English, but he'd be easily understood by anyone who speaks English. There are a number of accents here which took me years to be able to tell what was being said, since there are not only a number of different accents by Black residents as well as a number of accents by European descent residents. I still have trouble understanding what's being said by some Italian-Am. residents. But Aaron Neville in this interview could be easily understood by anyone fluent in English. I don't know but I suspect he had developed this accent intentionally after he became well known, at least partly so that he could be better understood by audiences across the country. I had to alter my own Cherokee accent, which to most non-Cherokees sounded much like a heavy rural Southern accent, because "white" Southerners had trouble deciphering too many words. Also, I got really sick of having people make fun of my accent & often having them assume I was stupid. Due mainly to TV & the public educational system since not long after WW2, regional & ethnic accents began to disappear.

[@plasmichoneytrip]

I’m not woke but this interviewer is racist. He does this backhanded compliment where he tells him at least twice how “rough” looking he is. Why would you insinuate how bad looking he is and not focus on the talent? This will never fly publicly today fortunately.
