KiD CrEoLe & the CoCoNuTs Live - Best Band Lineup Ever -Table Manners

[@MrBigjay00]

So underrated...

[@nick4985]

Original coconuts just can't be beaten they were so good and it was all so fresh then.

[@PeterSpaeter96]

We're all so lucky that this has been taped! And thanks to the great COATI MUNDI for sharing it with us! Everytime I watch KCatC videos I don't know what to admire more: - the brilliant showmanship (what great entertainers, both KC and Coati Mundi) (and great choreographies of those lovely Coconuts), - the outstanding musical performances (what a tight band, great musicians, great sound) - the pure energy and punch of it all.

This is pure funk you can see where Prince was influenced

[@jamesh2482]

I think Carol Colman is my perfect bassist - so much groove she drives the whole band forward like a funky truck, but still never gets in anyone's way. A total team player yet never ever plays anything boring. Thanks for sharing this gem!

[@CoatiMundiWorld]

Carol was the rock ....glad you spotted that ...and thank you James

I'm way late to this party, regretfully. But I'm enjoying it now! I'm in love with Carol Coleman's playing. She has a very unusual technique -- if I saw a beginning bass player play the way she does, I'd probably advise against it, but man does she make it work for her! And Coati, you're a madman, a very fun madman!

[@bertspeggly4428]

I'd be happy to have her technique!😁😁

[@NONcorrupt]

Yes I agree . Kid Creole & The Cocanuts is the best band line up. They are well respected but they deserve more accolades imo. (Music & performances & 2nd to none) FACTS

[@Duane-tl2zc]

"What the hell, what the F*ck's, I still got my Coconuts" classic from those 'Tropical Gangster's' 😁

[@MascheraTheFallen]

I’ve been listening to Kid Creole & The Coconuts since I was an infant due to it being a staple of my parents’ everyday soundtrack. A criminally underrated act that I’m upset I wasn’t around to experience. And I’m so grateful for the diligence in uploading these shows, Mr Mundi. It’s often incredibly hard for me to find clear footage of my favorite musical acts that were killin’ on the music scene before the big breakout of the video age. So having so much DBOSB and Kid Creole live content to sift through is a blessing in itself and I’m loving every second of it!

[@igorsklyarov6331]

The concerts of this band - brilliance!!

[@iansoutryer3189]

I only came here because I googled "Carol Colman". I remember a Kid Creole concert in the 1980ies and I was so impressed by that attractive bass player - not only because of her play (and her looks), but also as she seemed so cool and composed amid all that extravagance, vibrancy and flamboyancy around her. If you look at the video: she's hardly moving at all, just concentrating on her play. And here, more than 30 years later I still remember her name... I wonder what she is up to these days, there is indeed very little (and dated) information on her on the internet. It appears she was/is suffering from an incurable disease. Is she still performing on stage? Any information?

[@CoatiMundiWorld]

CC was amazing ... not sure if she is playing anywhere but still around on the planet

[@iansoutryer3189]

@@CoatiMundiWorld Thank you, Coati, I did not even expect a reply from you, that's really kind! In fact I remember your performance on stage very well too - not least of all because of that fancy and indeed clever nickname... :-) All the best! Ian.

She was a roommate of mine for a few years. Real character. Honestly I don't think I ever saw her get angry at anyone. Very kind, mellow person in my experience.

[@dominicmcleman5579]

Oh Mundi!! I so agree with you. This truly was the BEST KC&TC band ever. That incessant groove is a wonder to behold. I loved how spontaneous it all seemed to be, yet at the same time so well rehearsed too. What fantastic times, this band took over my life at the time and I don't regret a minute of it!. Special mention for Carol 'bass-it Carol' Colman and my favourite three Coconuts of all time. Still waiting to meet Taryn, where are you young lady?

[@CoatiMundiWorld]

Gracias Dominic .... and yes Colman was the rock, she kept the jams and the cats on point ... Cheers for viewing Paz

[@dahinsoncoj]

Wow, I have to say you and the Kid arranged/produced such a litany of songs, with the live arrangements so energy driven, ya just got to get up an move with the groove that just flows. Your dance moves are reminiscent of the late, great Nicholas Brothers so physical, yet beautiful choreography! The world class musicians of "Wrecking Crew" status, least of all yourself with the host of instruments you've mastered. Perhaps a funding site could be organized to defray the expense of restoring these priceless jewels. Always a treat to see more of these shows back in the mainstream where they can be shared with the next generation of fans!

After listening it seems this band has a little more punch and jam in the playing as opposed to other bands. The funk level is higher as well. The other bands were just as competent but seem to lack the free wheeling funk and jam vibe of what we hear here.
