dc Talk - Jesus Is Just Alright (Live on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno) - 1993

dc Talk performing "Jesus Is Just Alright" live on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno show on November 12, 1993.

[@mustang8206]

I had no idea DC Talk made it onto a late night show

[@Bob66]

could never happen today!

[@WBKimmons]

Me either

[@baldpipesmoker1]

I didn't know either lol. One of my favorite bands of all time! Was blessed to see them in concert twice back in the 90's.

[@ThirdCoastGems]

They actually made it TWICE on to The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. I'm sure a few others as well.

[@VagnerVerniz]

People who lived 1990's are blessed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jamescrossett923]

You won't see this in tv in 2018, such a shame

[@cmqguy]

James Crossett You’re so right as it would be too controversial for these times but it’s truly something the world needs to hear and that’s about Jesus’s love for us.

[@SeaJay_Oceans]

What's a TV ? 2020

[@H.E.M.]

Especially in 2024 😬 The world is only getting more corrupted

[@PlanetRockJesus]

Man those guys tore up the stage! The Doobies (love 'em) said "Jesus is JUST all right with me," but DC Talk says, "Jesus is STILL all right with me." Amen, my bros!

[@mustang8206]

Well Doobies were never Christian

[@PlanetRockJesus]

@@mustang8206 And I love The Doobie Brothers as well!

[@richardthelionheart01]

Doobies never wrote it. The original writers were a Gospel act and that was their lyrics. So DC Talk didn't do anything more spiritual or 'better' than the original by saying "still" - The Art Reynolds Singers - look it up.

[@woofelator]

The doobie brothers didn’t write it, but it is supposed to be slang, it doesn’t really mean “ONLY all right”.

Kevin max outstanding voice!

[@sweaty_walter4035]

Sadly he changed his thoughts about God 😥

[@Donscottgaming]

@@sweaty_walter4035 No surprise....the CCM scene was always full of lies and deception. Michael Tait was always the real talent of dc Talk.

[@A2Z83]

according to wikipedia he still is christian but is more progressive and has basically denounced the evangelical church.

[@H.E.M.]

Micheal doesn’t get enough love, he’s an amazing singer.

[@paulleonardo4042]

It just doesn't get any better than this....the talent on that stage is amazing....Toby Mac, Michael Tait and Kevin Smith.... The one and only DC Talk.... Ty Lord....

[@jabjamsdrums]

Agreed

[@rubenlanda9887]

no to mention Brent Barcus (Google him) on guitar on the left, Otto Price on Bass, Chris Rodriguez (Google him) on guitar on the right. The amount of talent here is OFF THE CHARTS

[@bcsherod4366]

Oh my goodness! I can’t believe this video exists. This is a trip to see, because I remember this time. (Life goes bye so fast.). Blessed.

[@K3mbusm]

And now 3 more years have gone by since your post! How are you BC? I hope your life has still been blessed, my friend!

[@Bweezy903]

Man, the memories...This song is what opened my eyes to Contemporary Christian...I always assumed it was just hymns and organs...boy was I wrong. Hearing this for the first time was the seed that grew into me becoming a Christian. I owe alot to Toby, Michael, and Kevin. Hope to one day get to thank them for literally changing my life.

[@mattshaft8733]

Jesus Christ is still all right in 2021

[@buttaflygirl05]

Toby Was the best...he rapped all his verses with No hype man...talent!!

Toby was so gorgeous!!

[@K3mbusm]

Toby may be an old man now, but he's still the best in my book! Social media can be such an evil thing, but I'm grateful to have something like KZbin, where I can quickly type in and watch an old video like this! I hope you're well, Nik G! God bless!

[@oldwest517]

No way this would get on any late night show today.

[@Bob66]

I'm surprised it did back then...

[@JeffBourke]

If god wants it on the late night show. It will happen.

[@itsjustian8484]

Sad, but true!

This song is illegal in several countries...

I love this hip-hop version of "Jesus Is Just Alright", and this in-your-face, live performance! Kevin and Michael's vocals are awesome and Toby Mac's raps are killer!

[@PapaVanTwee5]

The backing band at the time for dc Talk would later become Zilch, and release an album titled Platinum in 1997. They didn't take themselves seriously. The band name came from the Monkees song, "Zilch" (having the famous line, "Mister Dobalena, Mister Bob Dobalena") one of the songs on the album is a remake of the schoolhouse rock song, "My Hero, Zero", and they named the album Platinum because they thought it was the only way they were going to get a platinum album. The lineup for the band was: lead singer and guitarist Mark Lee Townsend keyboardist Jason Halbert bassist Otto "Sugar Bear" Price drummer Rick May Mark Lee Townsend stepped away from the band during their first tour and Jeff Deyo took his place. The band would end their performance with a praise and worship song, and were encouraged by their label to release a full album with those songs while they were in the middle of recording songs for their second album, "Millennium". They did, changing their name to "Sonicflood".

[@dacianyautja]

William Eby I actually had no idea they were Sonicflood. Ya learn something new every day!

[@buckwheatg]

I LOVED that Zilch record.

[@cmqguy]

William Eby Nice I didn’t know that. The 3 of them are so young in this video. My how things have changed since this video.

[@fonzo6315]

Do you know if Rick May did drums for the Jesus Freak and Supernatural albums?

[@buttaflygirl05]

Wwwoooowwww...i had no idea!! That is amazing!

[@maryloukriscuinas3338]

wow reminds me of when iwwas teen inthe 90s great times

[@DJFLDJFL]

Jeez. I just randomly came across this. This may be the best live performance I've seen from DC Talk...not that I've seen a bunch. I realize there were some backing tracks, but pretty much everything was tighter and better than I've seen from the band...and Kevin's a better singer than I gave him credit for. Great vid.
