I saw this show . . . @ THE LATIN QUARTER on DETROIT, MICHIGAN 1980 & again in 1981 !!! This is where & when his Finale was ' JAM' !' PEOPLE WOULD NOT LEAVE . He did THREE ENCORES ! 'PURE DYNAMITE ' LOCOMOTIVE SOUL I AM TELLING YOU ARE LEFT ALL OF THE HAIRS STANDING and GOOSEBUMPS! YOU CANT BELIEVE WHAT YOU ARE SEEING,HEARING, FEELING . . . YOU ARE QUICKLY SENT INTO ANOTHER DIMENSION of THE SENSES !!!

[@davidadaway6836]

Noticed how when he first came on stage he looked and made sure everybody shit was togeather, pure GENIUS!

[@rain73ful]

You see where Michael Jackson and Prince learned their moves from! Mr. Brown was a true legend!

[@wallacerussell8710]

I agree to the last two comments, Brown will always be not only my favorite , its true for most of my family and friends

[@davidburns3480]

the hardest working guy in show business

[@waltermangiavillano5010]

The greatest showman ever seen!

[@JoseyWales93]

Looks like the same band as in Monterey 1979. They were killing it. They did the best rendition of _Jam_.

[@nyterpfan]

You nailed it!! This version of "Jam" is absolutely SCORCHING---(KILLER band--JB ALWAYS had the very best musicians backing him!!)

[@davidadaway6836]

The most overlooked think about James is how dominant his talent was and for how long he performed @ such a high level. If u watched his career he just kept getting better & better before his age slowed him down! Truly the Hardest Working Man in Show business and it’s not even close 💥💥💥💥💥

[@user-qt7tz7zt9y]

Only. Seen. Him live one his the number one best ever soul. Brother with the greatest. Band hand down i love all his music

[@danielrogers8809]

James Brown was the greatest.

[@catirerubio]

8 years later and you are still 100 percent right!

[@andrewgillis8572]

Mr david Weston plays Goodfoot double tempo, no sweat, cold or otherwise, just hooks it and never misses, bar after bar no matter how long Mr Brown needs it go

Hands down james. Was. The. Best. Artis ever

[@jesabel62]

Thank`s for this ! Never seen ! Every JB concert is valuable .He should have been much more honored during his lifetime like Elvis . JB invented his own rhythm FUNK. He influenced and still influences the music of today . Elvis never wrote a song and invented nothing , but he had a great voice ...

[@cedricthornton2428]

because eñvis was white n james was black thats why

[@vivianwitherspoon7418]

The best performer of all, Mr. Godfather of Soul.

[@ThePressGang1]

Fuck YEAH. Bring on the James Brown FUNK period...love it. That Mexico concert in '78 footage is pure gold as well..same with the Funk drop down in Zaire....Sweet ass shit man.

[@thingsss]

1980 and still a vintage performance, I saw him for the 1st time about 2 years later, still with this set. Last time was about 2005 and still reduced me to tears with "Georgia" He will never be fully understood, he was a force of nature.

[@andrewgillis8572]

yup - I am getting old and my fascination with this cat from age 11 is changing but not lessening - in this show he lays down a Man's World version that is careful, as though he knows the planet would be sharing his board tapes some day, sharing every video & TV spot, which in the day there was no hope of. Here the day has come & Mr Brown has left an archive, with a performance bar set about as high as Duke Ellington's

[@gordonpercival7421]

b I'm the same you against them.

James Brown? Was the most Dynamic Entertainer in the 20th Century!!! Period!!!

This Video! Of a live performance by James Brown? Is the most enjoyable time that I have had since I 1st saw him in person in the early 1960's! Just after he released his live @ the Apollo album!! Thank You!!!

[@web45]

The "Hardest working man in show business", he was pure dynamite when I saw him in person in 1965 and did not lose a step in the 80's. Mr. Dynamite, Mr. Please please please", the hardest working man in show business. Not many people can claim they started a genre of music… James was pure FUNK!

[@roberm52r]

totally badass--incredible band-JAMES BROWN--he was a taskmaster but look & listen to the payoff!!!

@@xsenergyable studio 54, nyc. March 1980

Yeah, you should be able to find the CD on amazon. It'll say either 'Live In NY' or 'Live at Studio 54'. I highly recommend it especially for 'Get Up Offa That Thing'.

hello paulda2000 . was this concert done at studio 54? i was trying to figure out where the venue was

You probably know already but that bit of music and lyrics is from The 'Take A Look At Those Cakes' album, the song is 'A Man Understands'.

[@ghanasoul]

I'm not a fan of JB durin this period of his career. However, I think this is JB's best concert footage from the '80s. He sounds great, he killed his performance, the band is tight and the crowd was very excited to see and hear the show. I'll take JB from the 80s than anything that's out today. This show had no special effects, no 20 dancers jumping around just raw sweaty soul from a truly gifted dynamic live entertainer.

James Brown live in London 1985 was my favorite from the 80's

[@paulhendersun6525]

Yeah ghana soul and Jon Wild - I agree. I first saw James in 1985 and he and that band blew me away. What is never mentioned directly for some mysterious reason are his cues ( to the band )- where and what do they come from? "Who can explain it"?! "he will never be fully understood"is right- and I think mainly for this reason! Magic- sweat, Funk- True showmanship - including the kick of the mic stand!

[@CharlesBrown-pe6yb]

There's only things they go on that we will never know such as on all of his songs you always tell you what's the next record going to be coming out

I saw him the year he died. About 11 months before. Sure, he was slower but he STILL DID A KNEE DROP! First saw him in 1969. James never ceased to be AMAZING!

[@Ortegala]

James Brown actually had a voice, to sad we heard to much of his rapping. I'm not trying to put hate on him but, I'm not a fan of rapping, but I'll say this. He's the one who really is good at rap.

[@GFoB]

From 1955-1964 he had a lot of love ballads. Right before he broke out in to his own sound in 64' But prior to that he had Prisoner of Love, Bewildered, Try Me, Lost Someone, I Love You Yes I Do, Baby Your Right, It Hurts to Tell You, I Know its True, Love or a Game, I'll Go Crazy, Gonna Try, Your Mine, I Don't Know, Wonder When You're Coming Home, Just Won't Do Right, I've Got to Change, So Long, I Won't Plead No More, Hold My Baby's Hand, It Was You, I Love You Porgy, Is It Yes or Is It No, Maybe the Last Time, etc.

[@IndependentGeorge76]

I hear you, but he always moved with the times and stayed fresh. The more rap / disco sounds of later days reflected this. He didnt want to get left behind, lose his audience and be a museum piece.
