James Brown The Godfather of Soul live @ the Roundhouse, London 27th October 2006

[@TurboMan51]

Band is tight as ever and as you can see he's up in age but he's still giving it his all. I'm sure at this point there are certain songs he won't even try to sing cause his voice is not what it use to be because his style of singing..over the years it will take it's toll..one of a kind rip.

[@martybrynildsen7414]

It seems that everyone on the stage is determined to give a great show. The Soul Generals sound great, and the finish, with JB on organ, is reminiscent of the old days...almost like trading jabs with Maceo.

[@martybrynildsen7414]

For those who hadn't seen JB in those last days, the physical appearance is startling...BUT...THERE HE IS, running the show...presiding over all on stage. The Godfather...as raw as ever, and working very, very hard. I looked forward to seeing him, locally, late in December. As his health deteriorated, the date was cancelled, although he still wanted to make it to New York for New Year's Eve. Rest in Peace, my friend.

i had the pleasure to see Mr. Brown at around October 2006 in Finland. The band and James gave a killer gig i remember the rest of my life. It's a man's world was very special with deeep soul, meaning, and profound message of James's maybe knowing he wouldn't be here anymore soon... appreciate the women, and each other. He really was the hardest working man in show business, and the baddest funky cat there is.

[@ketonyakelandarobinson2007]

Literally, there are tears in my eyes as I watch this video. James Brown spent a lifetime proving that he deserved the title Godfather of Soul. He truly was the "Hardest Working Man in Show Business" and here he was, near death and as sick as he would ever be in his life, yet he showed up and showed out. From beginning to end, he was non-stop action, including some of his signature moves. I'm crying because, at the silly age of 26, I have complained about my life and the shit that gets on my nerves only to sit here and watch a man who came from nothing and carved out his own niche in this world to become the best at what he did. With a sunken in face and a depleted body due to his illness, he came out there and showed everybody that he would not cheat the audience out of their entrance fee. He gave them the best show they could have ever imagined and he was classic James Brown. Rest In Funky Soul Heaven, Godfather of Soul. You truly are the best that ever did it and my idol and hero.

[@dezsimmons3146]

James Brown is My cousin, and I was 6 years old when he passed away. But I knew my cousin had to get ready for the big pay back

[@michaelburton5090]

Steve Gad yes,she did nail it👏🏾

[@tradersfundmarketing]

Absolutely thought provoking my dear sister.

[@SqueakyPickles2013]

James Brown coming to the end of his life and yet giving one of my favourite performances of his

[@henrik4517]

Saw him during this tour just a few days later when he performed in Finland. He was almost two hours late due to a snowstorm but that didn't seem to bother anyone once he stepped on the stage. I was 14 at the time and to this day glad I had the chance to see him perform live. What a legend. RIP Mr. Brown

[@Kaiserrific]

Wow....he was gone just like that.. He didn't look the same...He was sick and kept on performing...

[@jarednielsen6232]

This was one of his last performance before he passed away Christmas day 2006. RIP

Your Welcome all fans of James Brown & Michael Jackson. I will be posting more of these set lists soon!

[@Andrew-ve9ls]

Wow, even as bad as he looked at the time and his age he was STILL moving around, this man was incredible

[@allymayful]

Did this man know how to put on a show!!!!!!!! Right up to 2 months before his passing. This concert is absolutely amazing. Less physical activity from him, of course, but still 100% the professional producer of excellent entertainment. AND he certainly never lost his powerful voice. And "YES" - he certainly knew how to get his audience to " FEEL GOOD " - right to the end. Thank you Mr Brown, thanks to KZbin l can now really appreciate what you gave the world. RIP

[@ketonyakelandarobinson2007]

This world will never again see such a consummate entertainer. The Godfather of Soul was truly the best there ever was

[@Solid800]

And then 3 years later we lost the Almighty king of Pop. When I see these icons die death is hard to ignore and you feel it's inevitable nature.

[@MrBahBZ]

I was fortunate to see the Godfather in 2001 when he still had all the moves. Incredible concert, remains my favorite.

[@sashineb.2114]

I saw him in 1979. The crowd was wild. He was incredible, with tons of energy.

[@javonteburris3954]

He look like he's 102. You could tell he was VERY sick

[@VinylEldred]

But he still the show and there is a myth that he lied about his age so you never know he could have been older than he was saying he was

[@ThePanther97]

The reason why he looked like this was because he lost a lot of weight and grew sickly. A few years before this he looked much younger and healthier.

[@natericketts]

He could of gone for so many more years 😭😭

[@ilae.williams7675]

Don't say NOTHING bad 'bout the "GODFATHER OF SOUL"💣💣💥💥💥💥💥💣💣💣💣💣💣Boom, there it is💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💯💯💯💯💯

[@ngrblack]

Fantástico, James Soul King Brown, eterno! Como eu queria ter nascido na época desse cara, pra acompanhar esses shows de verdade. Ele já estava bem "acabadinho" em 2006 até cheguei a duvidar que seria ele. Mas a voz inconfundivel.

[@baptiste.v6532]

James"Good God"Brown best singer showman i've ever seen

[@AudioFileZ]

A must watch for any musicologist for the live rendition of Georgia as interpreted by Mr. Brown. This is late period Brown channeling some of that cosmic sauce of his soul.

[@Paul_Lenard_Ewing]

It is one thing to play write and perform with excellence! BUT as a player I can not get over that he was recording in 1949 and recreated himself every 10 years. Best of all he created the FUNK style!!! A style that has been the roots of endless genre's including hip-hop which is the #1 style of our day!

[@coreyshauntee1848]

lol y'all are crazy , Dr Brown was extremely old ,and wore out God I miss him ! I'm glad he's at rest !

[@bmuhamad]

Pretty solid showing. He lasted 2 more months...

[@alheitzer2438]

+Basheer Muhammad He died from congestive heart failure from the pneumonia that riddled his lungs even as he continued to appear at live performances.

[@bmuhamad]

His son who also performed with Mr. Brown,said that he told that Him (his dad), that he was acting like a teenager when should have been home resting.

[@whitepearl8639]

He was very GOOD....FUNKY.....

[@fredricktucker1143]

I have his last appearance in Nov 2006 at the UK hall of fame awards and he sang I feel good for the last time and the last thing I heard from him was let's clean up the music clean up the lyrics and take these kids to a better place and that the last time I saw him alive until on Dec 25 2006 my mother called and asked why I didn't come home then she said oh by the way James Brown died and I said which one? and she hung up the phone before I got an answer so I turn on the TV and there it was the news about him then later that day I taped the news all day and night and I heard that AL sharpen was gonna bring his body to the Apollo theater on Thursday Dec 28.

[@mouradloubar9185]

Super singer super dancers (Diana &com..) I missed them much

[@DezGWChannel412]

I remember on December 25, 2006 I was 6yrs old when he passed away it was that morning I had woke up and asked my mama and said who that man is that’s on that picture frame. And my mama said that’s James Brown, he passed away. He was supposed to been at my family reunion (the Brown family) in barnwell 2006. Rest Easy Cousin. U had to pay the cost to be the boss

[@blitztelepathy8715]

Mister Dynamite

[@booshank2327]

Makes me sad coming from his younger videos, seeing such a force of energy running on fumes, but what a run he had. Effervescent, indefatigable and defiant to the end. Can tell all the attitude, showmanship, moves and spirit are all still within him and he's willing, just his body isn't up to it anymore. What a life and there'll never be another. Most musical man of the 20th century, he embodied it.

[@donaldbradshaw8670]
