[@rossbuchanan1060]

Love the Rhodes piano solo from the composer of this great song. Rest in peace Joe Sample.

[@ryeyanmatthew]

larry carlton just tears that guitar apart. this is some pinnacle playing here. unreal.

[@boogierandy7547]

Funny how he NEVER. EVER. EVER. mentions Boogie amps anymore- and that was the biggest part of his great tone.

[@thesuncollective1475]

Better than Lee Ritenour

[@donitavann108]

First album I ever bought for SPIRAL. I was 14 and took it everywhere! still my fav band...Larry is a Beast!!

[@saj8]

Rest In Beats, Joe Sample, Wilton Fielder, Wayne Henderson, and Robert 'Pops' Popwell.

Larry Carltonはどうした？

[@McNETTRECORDPRODS]

It's call performing young people , Breathe in the smell of artistry - Peace ! ! ! 👏 👤 .

[@hemihead4269]

This for me was the signature jam for Joe and Larry. This jam really put them on the map. I mean they were smoking these notes. Listen to that nasty bass line. Wow!!!!

[@gsmarin1]

Tightest band I ever saw live, absolute mastery musically speaking.

[@BIGRECORDING]

Folks talk of his work with the Dan.. I always redirect them here. Larry is spectacular

[@Basskat100]

The great Larry Carlton and Joe Sample and Bassist Robert Pops Popwell. Sitx Hooper on Drums. The late Wilton fielder Tenor Sax.

[@VG-iq8xq]

Incredible performance! This needs way more views!

[@bigboi1953]

GLAD WE HAVE TAPE THIS WILL NOT BE MADE AGAIN RIP

[@hemihead4269]

The Crusaders were in the zone. Took funky jazz to another level with all geniuses playing down the licks.The original and revised.

[@disabledcompleXXXes]

WHY DO I HAVE TO BE SO DAMN YOUNG? The vibes are on overload here man......and holy fuck the guitar and bass solo was brilliant!!

[@artserg965]

Joe Sample is very reminiscent of his style of playing on his "Rhodes" Minoru Mukaya from the Japanese jazz fusion group Casiopea

[@antonijeantonijevic4858]

Those southern... I've took it from my dad and listen and listen even i was already in heavy metal and from there... Chain reaction than everything. Wilson pickett, the temptations GOD BLESS THE CRUSADERS!!!!!!

[@basilshahid2905]

Beautiful! Nobody could touch the Crusaders at that time! They are GROOVING!!! I saw them when this album hit.. Unforgettable!

[@jorymil]

Pops Popwell was a beast. The only bass player that really stood toe to toe with the rest of the band... unless you count Wilton Felder, who played bass for the Jackson Five.

[@thejazzbass76]

Pops Popwell is payed by notes What a bass player

[@chrisclarke8961]

Larry Carlton, king of the 335

[@bobrennegarbe5547]

Saw them when I was a freshman at Western Kentucky University 1978. Unbelievable

[@winpointmedia]

This isn't the same song without Wayne Henderson. I saw them play it before he left the group. Blew me out of the water.

[@williamjackson4343]

R.I.J (REST IN JAZZ) Wilton Felder.

[@therosebud7098]

very fast version but Pops and Larry made it These are Musicians!!

[@Richard_Jones]

Whoa, did the guys have a flight to catch or something, that's flippin' fast!

[@fweddyfwintsone4491]

"Those Southern Knights" brought me here.. keep on, keep that same ole feeling!😊

[@oliverecords8524]

I keep on comingback to this video and also "Put t where yu want it" as played in Zaire. I never find the right words. It's just my bag.

[@jeanlucettore5931]

phénoménal bassist

[@rossbuchanan1060]

Mind ***blown***!! What a band.

[@ariari-cp3og]

スパイラルのライブは初めて見た！Thank You！

[@df-zd8vm]

The tempo speeds up about 10 BPM at the beginning and end of the song, but that's the beauty of live music. Robert is wonderful. Unfortunately, this kind of thing is rare in Japanese live music, for fear of ruining it. Felder, who is also the bassist, was not happy and tried to return to the verse in the middle of the bass solo, Sample was playing without caring, Hooper was sweating, and Carlton seemed to be enjoying himself. Each is interesting in there own way.

[@alcambrola2834]

I saw The Crusaders twice and Larry Carlton had already left. They were still great. I saw Larry in the early 90's with his band at the Newport Jazz Festival in Newport RI Terry Kath of Chicago is my all-time favorite guitarist. After watching and listening to Larry a lot lately, he's definitely in my top 5. I never realized he did many great licks for Steely Dan session work along with Joe Sample. Wish they were still around to have some kind of reunion. But as they say, "That's Life!"

[@Basskat100]

Great Guitar and Piano solo. From the masters. RIH Joe Sample, Wayne Henderson, and Wilton Fielder.

[@jefferzone61]

its a great performance, and live is 'the ticket', but the recorded guitar solo is one of the best, imo, ever - phrasing, execution, and good ol' stink - The album is Those Southern Knights - but Crusaders 1, Chain Reaction, Southern Comfort, and Free As the Wind - all Great! Changed my listening direction big time..in 1976

[@leonguisburg413]

I agree cause everyone cites "Kid Charlamagne" as his holy grail---but I hold the recorded solo from "Those Southern Knights" up to it

[@Official_David_Milzow_Music]

❤boah, they play great!

I was 15 when I saw The Crusaders on that very same tour, it was a couple of weeks later in "Le Castellet" (France) - much thanks for posting!

[@dogdayaftertaste]

Wonderful!!

[@user-wh9ei5ge5p]

ラリー・カールトンは、ギターやってたのでルーム335で、ファンになり、ジョーサンプルはアントニオの歌のソロで好きになった。ルーツをたどるとｸﾙｾｰﾀﾞｰｽﾞに遡った訳です。フュージョン系にいっていた時代を思い出す貴重な映像だと思う。

[@ariannaandyoshibrosdiffere1821]

incredible talent...funny how Larry can go from 1MPH (Sleepwalker} to 1000MPH here.....Maybe they were late for the return flight home

[@Koko_mimi_mom]

나는 크루세이더 형님들 음원도 좋은데 라이브영상이 더 좋은게 이 분들 진짜 열심히 연주하는게 보임 ㅠㅠ 되게 열과 성을 다해서 한음한음 연주함 ㅠㅠ 저정도 실력이면 좀 대충 칠만한데 저렇게 열심히 연주하신다니 ㅠㅠ아 멋져 ㅠㅠ

[@byrons61]

The guitarist is Larry Carlton who was a member of the Crusaders back then. The song was originally released in 1974 on the album Southern Knights.

[@leonguisburg413]

1975-76 but a still a great album!!!

[@RonSafreed]

The white guitarist reminds me of Peter Frampton&since this song was from 1976, it was the same time of Frampton playing&touring as well! The Crusaders are like the way the Rolling Stones were They have been around forever! I love Joe Sample's songs as well!!!!

Why is most of the bass solo cut out of this?

[@SekiRock]

I think this solo is masterpiece of Mr.335.

[@stretch54]

I played on a few demos with Pops in Atlanta about 74-75 before he got this gig. These guys were at their peak in the mid 70's when Robert Popwell was there along with Larry Carlton. They all look pretty coked up here though. No wonder the song is so fast.

[@branwerks6978]

Stix is the one pushing. Carlton is claimed to never have done drugs, didn't get into the drug thing in the 70's.

[@amanschase]

yeah you right branwerks, Stix is pushing that tempo like crazy !!!

[@youtubbeisshit]

Larry plays a lot of guitar
