D'Angelo - Lady (Essence Festival Rehearsal 1998)

Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego....

[@chucktreece8732]

Honored to be a part of this recording..Playing guitar alongside Spanky,Pino,D,Quest,Bilal,Anthony,James and the rest of the crew in this band…Essesnce Fest was a fun show ……..

[@2ndprezbeats]

Pino doing the Sly Stone "Thank you for talkin to me Africa" bass groove too crazy!!!

[@olistiktok]

I don't know how this recording happened to exist but whoever thought about pluging a recorder into the stage console to keep such a rehearsal session had to be wanting the best for human kind.

[@VoicedbyBrianna]

I agree 100% a true hero

There is a whole album of this warm up session… it is incredible but the quality isn’t fantastic… sound is quiet…

[@temav.mitchell4898]

@@jbizzi8308 OH REALLY, an ENTIRE ALBUM? ... question is.... Who's Got A copy for SALE🤔.. HOLLA AT ME💯

[@williamdyoung4438]

D’Angelo is one of the undisputed great artists of all time! What a gift!

[@LiviesLovelies]

Sits right next to Prince in terms of creativity, instrument fluidity, vocal ability, production, composition, appreciation for the various genres and respect from his fellow musicians and artists.

[@brandonrice2833]

Livie's Lovelies facts. His discography is tough to match up to. Still feels fresh, what 20 years later?

[@mariapowell8450]

In Spanish we translate O Good Lawd to Ay Dios Mio dang DAngelo put it on me......sit on it .....or something

[@robertmotion]

Horn section? Must be a saxophone and/or trombone in there?

Crazy he like another prince when it comes to playing every instruments

[@reainealgraham2179]

Oh my God Pino killing that bass.

[@danindeed]

Once a bass goes Pino, it never goes back. Good lawd.

[@Backpackfiles]

Bass line resembles "Thank You For Talking Me Back To Africa" by Sly. I'm sure it is by brilliant design!

[@brianl.halcromb2082]

[@robertostrihon4529]

It aint Pino. Its Raphael Saadiq

[@humanr.e8529]

That Minnie Riperton in the beginning set it off but when the guitar and bass come in it takes me all the way into a vibe unlike anything we've had in years 22 years later still killin

[@ckbrewN92]

Pino digging in that bass groove like Larry Graham on Thank you for letting me be myself

[@HansumTrini]

Wow wow wow...this is the reason I appreciate recordings of rehearsals and "live" recordings! That bass gnawing at ur soul, D'Angelo jabbing at u w/ his adlibs, and that ORGAN AT THE END!!! GOOD LAWD AH MIGHT!!! Mannnnn LISTEN

[@aryaphoenix954]

Iron Mike he’s honestly the last truly great one left. Him and Sade.

[@LiviesLovelies]

The artistic expression is so free...

[@XShollaj]

Whenever I hear or listen to Pino playing with D'Angelo it reminds me of myself when I was in US. Coming from eastern europe, the only people who I really bonded to were only the soul brothers, playing stuff like parliament, or prince and just enjoying the best music that just appeals to human soul.

[@bassmania84]

lol listens to pino, thinks of himself. hilarious

[@victorhokey]

Pre Voodoo, Soultronics were formed in 98 to perform D'Angelo's songs live

[@carlnordejr.5946]

Bilal also on bg vocals with Anthony Hamilton. Fun fact 4 all u true Funk Heads. ✊🏾👑🎶💜🔥

[@Kevinschart]

that's a sick duo to have singing your back up

[@johnnyskaraokejourney]

Wowwwww 😮🔥🔥🔥

[@humanr.e8529]

The intro needs it's own video. D'Angelo has always fucked with the best musicians and him being one himself just take it to genius levels

[@kayrobbie5840]

I am glad that I found this. DeAngelo and Prince are both musical genuises.

[@chandlerw.dukesii.8097]

I hear a little bit of “Thank You For Talking to Me, Africa” from Sly Stone in Pino’s bass licks. 😊🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@catboyzee]

D'Angelo and the 'Quarians dug deep to cook up this rendition of 'Lady'...damn. Sounds like Al Green, Sly Stone, and the Mighty Clouds of Joy got into Funk Fight on stage. #respect.

[@imvni]

Imagine you at a D’angelo concert not knowing you were going to also be going to church.

[@bigharp0949]

I keep coming back to this year after year. It’s a classic

[@mella9128]

It's a shame, and there is no footage of the Voodoo tour, too. why?
