James Brown - It's A Man's Man's Man's World - Live - 11 July 1981 • World of Jazz

"It's a Man's Man's Man's World" is a song by James Brown and Betty Jean Newsome. Brown recorded it on February 16, 1966 in a New York City studio and released it as a single later that year. It reached No. 1 on the Billboard R&B chart and No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100. Its title is a word play on the 1963 comedy film It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World.
This is the exiting live version of this song as performed by James Brown and the JBs at the second performance at the North Sea Jazz Festival on 11 July 1981, held in the Congress center in The Hague.
This second concert is extraordinary and sees a James Brown that really gives everything to get the audience to their feet. The first concert that we published on 5 October 2017 which was recorded by AVRO Television earlier that 11th July 1981 saw a lame audience that did not know how to react. In this fantastic video we see what James Brown could do with any audience. Also this concert has a different tracklisting including a sensational 'It's A Man's World' in which he pays tribute to great artists who died such as Otis Redding, Sam Cooke, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix and especially to John Lennon, who died some 6 months earlier.
The concert's encore is a raving rendition of 'Sex Machine'.
Enjoy!
The repertoire featured is:
00:03:30 "Hot Pants Road' by Charles Bobbit, James Brown, St. Clair Pinckney ;
00:09:02 "We are the funky men" - James Brown;

He brought his GoGo dancers - and what a GREAT concert. But at intermission the Dean of Women ( never married, age 60:or so ) went back stage to ask Brown to not have the GoGo dancers in part 2. He said NO. This was great ! Love you Brother. Us old folks are still working at making things right. ❤️( I grew up poor - Dad worked in a steel mill.)

[@hristinatrajkovskatrajkovs74]

This is unbelievable. His body, face, his voice are synchronized and cannot be separate from each other. Everything is one, his feelings, emotions, physical presence, are one frequency. And that is amazing, not many people have ability to do that. James brown is one and only.

James Brown is the greatest entertainer of all time. Only man who can go on stage with just himself and a mic and it will be the greatest performance you've ever seen. He is the GOAT.

[@timothylawson3262]

That spin and drop with the band stop, was on point, only James could pull that off.

James had the band whipped in shape and under thumb. The stories are pretty amusing online but apparently James brown would cut you on the spot

[@strawberrycherrybaby]

@@clibreros94 James had a vision. When you have this level of talent, I understand wanting perfection from the people you hire (assuming he hired them if he could cut them, as opposed to having people leave the band). It’s nothing personal, the man is trying to make art.
