So they did the concert and skits with Rosie Grier & em all on the same night?

[@tatlonione]

Dem boys was BAD!!! Not out of step...harmony sounded great....They were absolutely awesome! I"m so glad I was around when Jackson mania started! I seen them boys twice....Never was disappointed! I sure miss them days! I'm glad I can still watch them! I will never, ever forget The Jackson 5ive! Miss you Michael.

[@ThahitmanTyrie]

Charlene Dozier I've asked because people tripped out when usher went through puberty so I wanted to know what others back in his day knows what it was like when his voice changed did they think he was gonna be a bad singer as he got older or what ? So yea stay in your lane and don't come for me

+Debbie Hampton There are so many things we are missing nowadays, real talent is really hard to find and even then it does not compare nor neither does it have any of the qualities and dedication. Although, we are at a point in conjuncture.

[@pbarnes8952]

Jermaine was killing that Bass with that pic @2:57! That's amazing he learned how to play by ear at such a young age with the help of Legendary bass player James Jamerson! He learned from the best. Jermaine, Tito, Johnny, and Ronnie would sit for hours to master a song while Michael, Jackie and Marlon practice the steps. They were and still is big on the band sounded just like the record!

[@artscienceproductions5650]

Real talent.

[@stuartperry8141]

It is amazing how Joe Jackson gets no credit for his sons. They just have natural talent. No formal training. I guess him teaching them songs and routines had nothing to do with anything.

[@u.s.n.retired1995]

They turned it up, then out! Thank you Joe and Katherine.

[@mwljimoaol19]

bass, guitar, drums, keyboard. The J5 band

[@nicholasj2337]

And playing real tight! And don't forget Ronnie Rancifer was on keyboards, and Johnny Jackson (no relation R.I.P.) on drums! They were electrifying performers.

[@mwljimoaol19]

Agreed

[@mwljimoaol19]

Surly these guy's are unsung heroes like the funk brothers were

[@mcclendonreport]

Indeed, no backing extra musicians, singers nor dancers. Just 5 cats and their two homies from northwest Indiana. They were the real deal. I saw them since the beginning. Genuine talent all around.

[@stuartperry8141]

That is what people forget the Jackson 5 were a solid band way before Motown, Jermaine or Tito did not need someone to play for them in studio even if Motown choose to.

[@tedkay3750]

MOTOWN needs to release this on DVD!! they would sell out! OVERNIGHT~

[@lorenzoadamson6893]

damn jermaine is killin the bass..this dude has some serious chops for 16 yrs old and self taught

He was a child prodigy on bass.

[@theloverswineverytime1625]

Yeeeeaah, man. Jermaine was ill with the pill

[@postadsnow]

I like these videos because it proves that the Jackson 5 played their own instruments. People often say that the Jacksons are no good because they don't play their own instruments and only just danced and sang. These guys were truly talented for their age and played their own instruments just like the Beatles did and this is back in the 70s. Even today many boy bands don't play their own instruments and the Jacksons sold $25,000,000, before Michael turned 13. Listen to Jamaine get down on the base guitar. This is a truly a boy band, teenagers.

[@lauanasimmons7202]

i was there to witness this greatness

[@lauanasimmons7202]

+Lauana Simmons zI was in the 4th row

[@pattyz5217]

The Wizard Of Og Playing instruments isn't as hard as lead singing.. I play instruments and its a lot harder to dance and sing and keep time while learning a million words and moves. And entertain the crowd pretending to be happy when you're tired from touring and crowds. Little bitty MJ did all of this and was a pro at it. a true pro

[@sexydancer8559]

Not that it matters, but they didn't play on their recordings, though I'm sure they would've been quite capable based on their live shows.

[@fortybreath]

Patty Z: apparently, you don't play bass like Jermaine Jackson because the level of sophistication in this 16 year old's bass playing is ASTOUNDING. I have been playing bass professionally for 25 years, have toured the world with several huge acts and have played and sung on gold albums, movie soundtracks, television themes.....you name it.... and and I have never seen any kid play with the command that Jermaine had on the bass guitar. Not to mention he often sang lead while SIMULTANEOUSLY covering these incredibly difficult bass lines. Not to take anything anyway from Michael, whom we all knew was a genius, but Michael Jackson could NEVER have played the bass like that while singing lead. I've never seen anyone do it before or since. Jermaine was in a class all his own

[@akechetalahpay5333]

*Man they crushed Walk On...💯* My mom bought this album (Going Back To Indiana) for me when I was a kid. 100+ channels, 24 hour tv stations, and On Demand didn't exist. Plus I was only a few months young when this concert took place (Yes. Record stores existed & sold albums that were years old). So I had to listen to this album & imagine what the *entire* celebration was like (they did skits with athletes & entertainers on a different night. *edit* : I assume they were different nights). *The chance to enjoy things like this is when I am truly grateful for modern technology. Without it this right here would still be a fantasy for me. THANKS FOR SHARING*

[@RayPaganJr]

I remember sitting on the floor with my sister three feet away from the TV when this aired. It was the coolest thing I'd ever seen. Good times.

[@nomibe2911]

To think of the enormous pressure a young kid would have not to mess up in front of a crowd and Michael was on stage and ruled the stage at a young age and had swag like someone twice his age. Industry insiders at the time nicknamed him midget because they couldn't believe he was a kid performing the way he did.

The Jackson 5 were the truth. I saw them during this period. They were real. They didn't have a stage full of extra dancers, or a bunch of grown men musicians playing the actual music, or a track running in the background, or a group of professional background singers doing the real harmony. Naw, these boys brought their own sound and their own choreography, with only two extra side musicians, who were just a few years older than them. The Jackson 5 were the genuine article.

I remember that year of that concert when they came to New York city’s Madison Square Garden. As soon as they hit the stage, the girl went so crazy, and refused to sit the F down. The NYPD had to sit up on the stage, protecting them from getting stampeded blocking everyone’s view sitting up front...Wow, it was wild & crazy

[@96bigboi]

Definitely think the whole show should be released, i found it very strange (at first) that they did more covers than their actual hits but after viewing the full setlist for this venue, it makes sense now....." IWYB/ABC" was definitely right after "I Wanna Take You Higher" but was edited out. "I Found That Girl", "Who's Lovin' You", "Never Can Say Goodbye", "Mama's Pearl"... all missing from this special, the video to the whole set has to be gold i'm quite sure! i surely hope it all comes back to the surface

So much talent for so young ! ALL of them were professional weather playing instruments are singing and dancing abilities ! ALL families have difficulties and struggles Once they grow up . But at the end of each day this family comes together and steps up for one another ! That' is because of it strong father and mother ! You can say whatever you want about joe . But he taught them if you want to be noticed you have to work at it everyday and be a professional ! BACK then parenting was far different than it is today ! Joe had boys and he kept a firm grip on them ! He did what people did back Then . I have to Give credit where credit is due ! It EFFECTED MJ but only because he did not know how to understand his father . But had MJ let his Dad protect him , he'd be Alive today !!!!! Joe Loved him and he'd of fought the devil for him . Joe only fault is he felt like his son's forgot what he did For them . Well , joe it wasn't that They forgot it they' Simply wanted to be they're OWN men . I'm certain by now you have to realize that . MJ loved you he simply didn't know how to let you in to protect him with out oweing you ! You have his children to see MJ parenting skills we're his . Simply realize it And understand it . MJ I'm certain would be smiling if you did ! God bless All the Jackson's for allowing us into your Lives still today !

Although it's irrelevant, Nadine Coyle of the UK Girl Group Girls Aloud was overwhelmed when she returned to Belfast, Ireland to do a Hometown Show. It was quite an achievement since she got kicked out of the Irish Popstars Group Six when she lied about her age. Six didn't make it but Girls Aloud would go on to be the most successful Group to come out of "Reality TV" in The UK. From 2002-2012 they had Four Number Ones, Twenty One Top Tens and Six Platinum Albums.

Those two white people in the audience sure are holding each other tight. Stick out like a sore thumb.

[@fostermac7170]

I think I get the humor, but the reality is that black folks don't bother or try to intimidate others in a setting where somebody other than us is the minority. Indeed, in my lifetime (I'm 58) we have tended to go out of our way to make others feel comfortable. Now I cant say the same when someone is in a comedic scene, I mean I've seen the shows on BET etc. But in my experience by and large we get along with folks.

[@fostermac7170]

I looked again. They did seem to be uncomfortable. I think that's one of those 'self-imposed' fears. Nobody in that audience was going to attack them or anything (save for maybe one of them young babes, if that white chick went after one of the Jackson 5!).

[@CapstoneTider]

Agree. They loved the band and were scared of the turbulent times. Would not be that way today.

[@mcclendonreport]

***** They had no reason to worry. Not even then. The Jackson's were ambassadors of a love vibe. And they were the first young Black people I ever saw on TV.

[@CapstoneTider]

Brilliantbeing Yeah Michael is my agree. But I have to disagree and say that they looked scared, but there is not was for either of us to prove it either way. The Jackson's were a popular band, not a love cult or church organization. Who knows? Them.
