The last live performance of his I attended with my eldest brother, and eldest Son who was in his 20's a couple of years before his death. Needless to say my son knew every song played ❤️ I'm still a funk music 🎵 fan and will be even after I die 💕 Thanks Mr. Brown for a lifetime of great music! I love you Sir 🙏🏾

I do agknowledge that, i see where hiphop taken its influence from, but hiphop has negative vibes while this music has positive vibes. I prefer funk/soul music over hiphop easily. Ofcourse James Brown is legendary, rappers are no match to his charisma. Just my opinion.

[@saschamaj]

None of you sound you know what you're talking about in regards to hip-hop. James Brown was sampled widely throughout the 1980s in hip-hop, but his music was not used since then and modern hip-hop is closer to electronic music than to funk and soul. Hip-hop has many forefathers and inspirations. It is an amalgamation of the cultural knowledge of an entire people, namely black Americans. It is still evolving to this day and has never stopped evolving. To claim otherwise is simply an ignorant statement. Yes, James Brown had a massive influences on hip-hop, but in the same way he had a massive influence on all modern American popular music genres. Blues and Funk are at the core of most of them.

I have been waiting to see this entire show. This is the band at their absolute instrumental peak. Effortless and funky.

[@danielgeary5215]

JB had a groove in his head that he sent out to the world. his own unique groove undeniable Thank God for all the live performances that are recorded that we can watch and keep the man alive.

This is the quintessential James Brown experience. 🎉

I feel thankful to live in a time where it's possible to rewatch a masterful music performance from more than 50 years ago. What a gorgeous performance and how wonderful it is to feel like you're back to a different time and place, if only for an hour and a bit.

I saw James Brown and The Flames in '68 in Phoenix Arizona - it was fabulous!

[@andrewgriggs7604]

In 1968 the entire James Brown experience perforned in a NHL hockey arena in Toronto. What a night! It was imposible to hear much, but the sight of 20 or so thougholy rehearsed elegantly dressed people playing "for the people" is as fresh in my minds eye today as it was over half a century ago. Watching a Frank Sinatra concert on You Tube recently reminded me of that night, Why does Frank Sinatra play the biggest venues in the world and Mr Brown, while he is a star, should be as big as Mr Sinatra?

[@erikt454]

@@andrewgriggs7604 I heard he played in Mimico before that, in the mid 60's.

I envy you. I saw him dring his "Make it real"Tour in Hamburg in the CCH. A very sterile place but he turned into a speakeasy. What a night!

To whoever remastered the audio on this , you should be proud, the video is just as awesome. Don’t think there are to many artists around that could pull off a quality performance/show like James Brown did here . Thank You !

Too many distractions for kids to master instruments in the numbers that they used to. Hell too many for me to take advantage of opportunities when this guy was prime innovative talent. Now the world of distractions is in front of them available for indulgence. Some of us didn't completely realize how fortunate we were to have our cultural environment or that it would nearly vanish in our lifetime. Generation Z doesn't generally have any idea how comparatively shortchanged they are by their abundance of media.

1968, what a world we left behind and we were innocent souls with so much hope for freedom, peace and Love. Steppenwolf says it's Never too Late to start all over again. RIP Godfather of Soul, James Brown.🎶🎵🎶🎸🎸🎸🌟💋❤️☮️😼

Years ago in the early 60's, we used to go to the Apollo every weekend and JB was always there. James Brown MC'd the show in a way and couldn't help it. He was so versatile! He knew every instrument in the band.

[@MrSpiderkells]

That's amazing Mary, I seen him a few times in my country in his older years. Even into his 70's he was an animal for working.

UNBELIEVABLE PERFORMANCE! KING JAMES BROWN was A DYNAMITE PERFORMER! His backup DANCERS COULDN’T KEEP UP WITH HIM! The ultimate CHOREOGRAPHER! NOBODY THEN, or NOW, or in the near FUTURE, could out dance JAMES BROWN, PERIOD! GOSPEL, COUNTRY, SOUL SINGER at his BEST! May he rest in peace, UNIVERSALLY MISS, AND NEVER FORGOTTEN!

[@raymondkarlsson9794]

I am fascinated by this great performance. Captures the master of soul and his band.

[@monkeybrain213]

Id be damned if that wasn't a tour de force of pure unadulterated funk and soul.

[@saschamaj]

This performance is unspeakably amazing in 2021, it must have been utterly mind-blowing in 1968. I assume some Parisians were not ready for so much funk, judging by the morose crowd.

James ranks as one of the best artist in America. Fact. He is sampled beyond belief. He was instrumental in civil rights. James prevented riots. He was gold but he was a product of his era.

Mr. Brown brought the stage show back to life in the 60's and with it the legendary crossover music!

[@theodoremcclendon8468]

Crossover?

[@tns4421]

@@theodoremcclendon8468 According to the documentary mr dynamite and the interviews of his 2 main drummers. One of them was more blues/jazz while the other more funk/soul so Mr Brown took 4 different styles of that time and created crossover music. His songs had all these styles of the period and beyond.

[@mcclendonreport]

@@tns4421 Certainly in that sense. But crossover generally means crossing over to the white audience. And Brown wasn't having that early in his career. But to be sure, James Brown created funk out of the existing Black music forms, blues/r&b/gospel/jazz.
