James Brown - Medley: Cold Sweat / Ride The Pony / Cold Sweat

James Brown performing "Medley: Cold Sweat / Ride The Pony / Cold Sweat" during his concert at the Boston Garden, on April 5, 1968.
The concert became a thing of legend. Only 24 hours earlier civil rights activist Dr Martin Luther King had been assassinated resulting in widespread violence across the United States. The mayor of Boston was persuaded to let the concert go ahead and it was broadcast live across the city by WGBH-TV. Featuring inspiring speeches and legendary performances, James Brown’s concert is said to have contributed majorly to maintaining calm and peace throughout the city that night.

Maaaan listen...these guys were robotic like with the precision and concentration..this is what A.I. is built off of...this generation has no clue..they think things just pop up and appear like magic..they have no clue that actual humans did this..

[@mcdreisig7924]

That drum solo though

[@tariqcampbell4996]

Yes

[@mistersir418]

I've said on numerous occasions: he was BEFORE everybody else!!...a Classic MasterPiece...also, Baritone Sax player St. Clair Pickney was the musician that played with James throughout James's WHOLE career, that's loyality...

[@josephellis6697]

yes indeed St.Clair was a very loyal musician to James, and the bassist Fred Thomas were loyal too eventhough he quit for a few years

[@francisrobbins1499]

Yes from 61 to 95 i I recall My favourite of his band. Thought Maceo got overused on his late 60’s songs

JB built the foundations to so much we take for granted in music. Chuck Berry, Little Richard and all the old Blues boys too. They had the genius to just knock stuff out that just sounds almost natural, like the air we breathe.

[@charliebrowndesign]

Nothing is ever going to be better than this.

[@Bigeazy87]

I know the band was in the moment. I know the band did this every single performance. But that instrumental break is so sublime. There had to be something spiritual about Dr. King's passing, what the moment was, and the greater good they did for Boston that night. With the confluence of circumstances, this is one of the 10 greatest musical performances of all-time, up there with Queen at Live Aid or Jimi's anthem at Woodstock.

[@dianaphillips8927]

where it really shines is in 'Papa Don't Take No Mess' it fades in and out so beautifully. Wait. have you seen the one where he goes to Zaire? marvelous!

[@dianaphillips8927]

Maceo on the sax and Clyde Stubblefield on drums, cannot be surpassed

[@RodLawley-rj3rx]

The drum break is genius level skill. Clyde's left hand is so good . Amazing stuff. Proto drum and bass.

[@user-cp4qr5mq2f]

He is the heart beat of soul . Truly the GOAT. Hands down.

[@larryherbert252]

[@coolb8545]

Woooow....the drummer and these musician's robotic labor has evolved to A.I.....artist today have it so easy..

[@RodLawley-rj3rx]

The sound of Clyde's cymbals in the break makes me happy.

[@Lynn.B.]

When I heard "Ride the Pony," I immediately also heard Cymande's "Bra": "But it's alright, we can still go on." I had to go and listen to it just to check. I feel certain "Bra" was influenced by it.

[@williamparker3328]
