Curtis Mayfield live: We Got to Have Peace

[@paulwalters5349]

When live performances sound better than the recordings you know its something special. These musicians are on another level

[@laparoi]

Exact !

[@BAYAREA-kd1ig]

Perfectly said. A good example of what you said is Stevie Wonder doing Superstition on Sesame Street from the early 70s. The band for lack of a better term was cooking !

[@radand51]

I played this a million times and that recording takes me way back. Thanks to Curtis.. if only we could bring back one!

[@davenicholl3539]

We need this today more than ever.

[@malcolmlilley]

Quite possibly the best song ever written. played live,to perfection, quietly! Thank you Mr. Mayfield and wonderful band.

[@WilfridAgboton]

The lyrics of this song are even more relevant than ever today!

[@anthonyvaughan6470]

AMEN TO THAT !!!

[@michaelochido3244]

who is listening in 2020...may curtis soul RIP!

[@frankmorris5224]

That bass player is killing it!

[@tollyt7465]

Joseph 'Lucky' Scott.. Curtis had a phenomenal band: drummer Tyrone McCullen, guitarist Craig McMullen, bassist Joseph Lucky Scott. And on this performance the Conga player was Master Henry Gibson..

[@flashtheoriginal]

Awwwww just timeless. Total class. Musicianship of the highest quality
