Kool and the Gang - Get Down On It (Live New Orleans 1983)

[@JPK452]

My favourite song in the world. Amazing. ❤❤

[@NorthFiftySix]

I think it was truly a blessing to witness this amazing performance. Curtis William's Keytar solo is probably the best I've ever seen. The synchronized dancing is badass, it is impossible to hear this and not want to move. Truly a great era for music!

[@Lboogs7]

Absolutely!!

[@michaelwyckoff7593]

Yessir I agree with you. 😊

[@junogoldeye]

A true blessing, I totally agree with you!

[@JessePinkman-t5o]

Kool and the Gang are one of the greatest live bands in history. I also got to see Earth Wind and Fire who were equally as fantastic live. Fantastic musicians, all of them!

[@alejandrolondono1850]

RIP Ronald Bell. Your music changed the world!

[@leonwitherow2400]

That keytar solo left me speechless. What an incredible performance.

[@christineb7304]

Who IS he???!?

[@christineb7304]

Nevermind...Curtis Williams...I just had to keep watching, but I couldn't for rewinding to the best parts.

[@JeromeProductions]

INDEED

[@TimothyMarti]

Goosebumps THROUGHOUT that!

[@nelson1954]

Seriously out of this world. Wish he kept jamming on that incredible riff a few more times instead of teasing us with it.

[@MISIUYT]

This performance is incredible

[@lyrsweetwater8684]

The music back then was incredible. YES🎉

[@michaelwyckoff7593]

This performance was so special because they were in New Orleans the mecca of great music. 😊 I have never heard any live performance sound this damn good. The vocals and all the instruments were on point. Horns drums bass guitar lead guitar keyboards and percussion were immaculate. Sound system was the best in the business and the stage setup was top shelf. 😊

[@lorrainecalzetta6546]

Loved them very underrated

[@Riceordie]

Legends say Curtis Williams is still funking that solo.

[@cruzmakaveli9891]

Curtis Williams doing the Keytar Solo to end ALL Keytar Solos...........mic drop !

[@mooseknuckle9657]

Off the charts!!! Sure,the keyboard solo blew the doors off......but so did the groove,dancing and J.T. Taylor's vocals.

[@trelaalegre]

Amazing keyboard solo that I want to listen to forever!!! めちゃくちゃカッコいい‼︎

[@copgirl5443]

I actually met Curtis Williams and have spent time with him. One thing he told me was he started piano lessons when he was 3. I never asked him his IQ, but it has to be in the 170's-180's. He is literally a musical genius but so kind, personable and down-to-earth .. Annnd one of the most handsome and sexy men I have ever met. Love you Curtis ❤

[@cmaurice9133]

Being a 60s baby i got to enjoy music at its finest hour. ❤

[@willgill3904]

That is the keyboard solo to end all keyboard solos! Curtis Williams is a legend it gets better and better each time, K&G are legends. No point arguing between Earth Wind & Fire, Gap Band & K&G. They're all funktastic. Just don't make them like that anymore, it's all about the money today...

[@MrJess-el8ku]

Totally agree, i just love Kool and the Gang and Earth Wind and Fire both the same. Can't choose between them.. lmao

[@1980Triumph]

***** You said, the solo is brilliant, never heard one better than this.

[@mncppc54]

Will Gill Jesus that was amazing

[@antoniogimeno207]

Truth!!!! I saw K&TG live back in '87 and was absolutely worth the price of the ticket!!!! They played this song and the keyboard solo put the place absolutely upside down, the people went absolutely nuts!!!!! what a time!!!!

[@thewisepowerchair2369]

It was about the money back then but they were better musicians. If you ask me, music has gone out of the window these days.

[@yvonneday6784]

I've been searching for this live performance just to see Curtis Williams solo!!! Amazing

[@robsanderson3061]

Seen Kool and the Gang in Seattle in 83. We tore it up 🎊🎊🎊🎊

[@iansnyder274]

OMG..that keytar solo is unreal....holy shit..i started sweatin'..WOW!

[@patrickwinslow]

Yeah! Band members who sing, dance and play instruments. That's talent!

[@madukaihalagama1244]

keyboard solo was on another level! holy shit

[@Prettymapleleaf]

Thanks mom for owning this vinyl. Total flashbacks to being little dancing my ass off to this in my living room. Yay memories

[@zs374]

Keyboard solo on level with Jimi Hendricks guitar solos with the Isley Brothers. Off the charts.

[@susankern5449]

These were good times 👍❤️💃💃

[@alessandradonati483]

2024, this music is still🤟🤟🤟

[@ryancusack1]

How did that Moog not burst into flames? Because that shit was 🔥🔥🔥

[@thecantankerouscollector]

One of the best performances ever. A great song made greater, awesome dancing and choreo and Curtis Williams on Keytar

[@1980Triumph]

No doubt from 1982 to 1988 they were simply the best band of that era. Always great in any era they performed but they were at their zenith during that period and no artist or group could match them.

[@hype876]

Compared to earth wind and fire ?

[@1980Triumph]

hype876 Earth Wind and Fire's last tour was in 1981, they came back and toured in 1987/88. During 87/88 Kool and the Gang were still the best band out there.

[@1980Triumph]

***** The Commodores were good but as a live band they couldn't compete with Kool and the Gang, especially during the years I mentioned.

[@1980Triumph]

Muzik Michael....and again, how where they from 82-87???

[@1980Triumph]

Muzik Michael Well then what are you talking about. My comment said from 82-88 they were the best band, so why are you all talking about the Commodores from the 70's????

[@luis_bet0]

Best performance that I've ever seen... OMG

[@jaylalaing1967]

That keyboardist is smokin' on fire Curtis!! This song will make your great great great granny move!!!

[@OnlyOneNagaBABA]

they could sing, dance, play some badass tunes...and all this when performing LIVE !

[@randyveluzki3340]

Holy smokes that solo is insane awesome talent right there

[@christineb7304]

2:58 on ain't nothing but the best keyboard solo....EVER!!!

[@robeast9009]

Curtis Williams killing it on the keys!

[@afterstars]

I started trying to learn this keyboard solo in 1985. It’s 2021 and I’m 15 seconds into it.

[@NorthFiftySix]

That's insane

[@CD-ph5nb]

any progress I got to learn this too

[@klaus150365]

That Solo from Curtis Williams is amazing. Still gives me goose bumps. Zhat´s when Music was made by Musicians and not a Computer like that crap today.

[@malinwj1167]

Actually they have electronic keys and electronic drums in this performance.

[@berneathermckenzie8763]

Just amazing! I wish we could go back in time. phenomena talent

[@chris202x_]

Epic keytar solo 🤘🏾

[@claytonvernon8793]

one of the greatest videos on YT, almost criminally underviewed

[@3kingkool]

I love this performance.

[@mikebell3460]

It's April 2024 I am a 43 year old white male and I am busting a Grove to this incredible song and band. This song should have been number 1 in 1981.!!! Great music is great music no matter anything else. Everybody enjoy life family friends and great misic because it will pass u by in a heartbeat.

[@telegrandbenoit5578]

Thank you for the message i loved Kool & the gang 👍🤚

[@joemasters2270]

That sick guitar solo - WOW :)

[@jaytw7287]

"how ya gonna do if you really don't wanna dance by standin on the wall" These were the days!

[@mariansanchez6877]

[@DjTIMEJD]

JT Taylor, friend.

[@jandel9516]

So wish I could have been there to see this live!

[@RosaC9999]

That is what I call DANCE!! AMAZING ARTISTS!!!

[@btac3072]

wow that solo blew my mind

[@michaelwyckoff7593]

JT elevated KOOL and the GANG to a whole new level. Bottom line he is a talent that can't be duplicated. Have you heard how many times he can change his voice according to what song he is singing. I don't have a idol but if I did I would choose him and wish I had all the talent he has.

[@DjTIMEJD]

One of my Top 5 Male Singers. Tonight is a pure display of singing, friend.

[@michaelwyckoff7593]

​@@DjTIMEJDthe one and only JT James JT Taylor. 😊

[@kevinbollers2]

[@KC1989ify]

[@djalexia]

Kyle Crotty That's right is the same the Angela Wimbush used so much Also her ex Rene' Moore. :)

[@lonewolf4949]

The Keytar solo of ALL Keytar Solo Live !

[@Jérôme-v6j5n]

"Get Down On It" was from '81 ... Here, they perform it with an "updated" sound, plus a crew of young break dancers doing their thing in the front ... Hey : 1983, you know ! (Yeah : I know break dance is old-fashioned by now, but back then it THE sh*t !!!)

[@Supakool85]

No one makes good music like this no more😏

[@meridionalimobiliaria3498]

[@Vernostonus]

So what's the difference between this amazing group and today's crap artists? Just two words - REAL TALENT!! Keep your Bieber's and Gaga's away from the mics you greedy producers and deaf record company owners - we don't want our ears contaminated with such shit, we want real singers and musicians like Kool & The Gang!

[@cliffordholliday679]

Vernostonus listen to lady gaga's album with Tony bennet and reevaluate your assumption

[@asrsn8324]

those days they worked for people and creating something good to enjoy, but now days,they use their faces and bodies to gather money in every way possible, shame

[@sharonandrews1435]

J.T..was exciten with the band! but when he went on his own! he had me to..feel his needs! then he prove my needs!.and had me dreamin! YES! them was some of his songs!
