I am 55 and I danced to this entire set: the funky chicken, the good foot, the four corners, the camel walk and everything else in between (LOL)!!

[@maniamor3842]

Guys did a great job james is my idol

[@renesbbwi]

Guys, I watched the whole set and fanced all the way. Thank you!

[@PaulDA2000]

Here is a little addition to the set list: There is a short I DON'T WANT NOBODY TO GIVE ME NOTHING (OPEN UP THE DOOR) interlude from 22:57 to 23:12. The song that is played starting at 38:18 when the band is being acknowledged is I GOT TO MOVE. The set ended with THERE WAS A TIME. I guess I GOT THE FEELING WAS CUT OUT? Fantastic set! The only thing that would have made it better was if SEX MACHINE has been included. Im one of Mr. Brown's biggest fans, since 1968 when I was 12, and this are among the best live cover versions I have heard.

[@tonymazz9912]

They should cut an entire album dedicated to James Brown. Absolutely Amazing and Suuuper Baaad! Ye-aww! Uhh..take it back..yeah...Ye-aww!

[@Jay91Byrd]

this looked like so much fun

[@jackbrechtel4804]

I absolutely love "Do Your Thing" originally by Lyn Collins, I absolutely love this version of it as well starting around 9:45, esp. love how it closes out!

😮

[@godofcreek720]

24 min my brain explodes out mah god dang ears

[@mrbucket75]

Great show! However, blah blah blah, I wish the drums were in the mix better, especially the snare. Adam has a great snare sound.

[@bigdog96]

Damn...that dude on the left NEVER has to worry about not being able to see at a concert.

[@MrUltraworld]

Why doesn't this band have a permanent singer? Kinda hard to do James Brown without a singer.

[@PaulDA2000]

Is there another set of this? I noticed at the end of this set that they said they are taking a break.

[@harry61991]

+PaulDA2000 I don't know if it's recorded, but they played a set of Lettuce tunes after this.

[@markobarrows4304]

It's not Live at the Olympia by any means, but it's not karaoke either.

[@drumtravelfun]

Fuck i'd love to hear Nikki Costa with Lettuce.

[@Jkaneshige]

Funk off!!!

[@lukejackson81]

was this show "billed" as a James Brown tribute?

[@jackknifetoaswan]

Who's the bone player?

[@clarythyme]

ベースが

[@charliebirdnba]

Nigel was not happy with the drummer @30:04 ...

[@FrankJam2]

awesome show, but their lighting director needs to chill out a bit....had a seizure within the first minute

[@imaonnalynenow6252]

Anything that is not James Brown is just that.... NOT James Brown.

[@clarythyme]

ずるい・・・

[@shakedownstreet48]

It's to clean for a James Brown tune no FUNK just a good clean version.

[@shakedownstreet48]

Good friend of mine played with James for ten years. This is not even close..

[@genechaas7369]

shakedownstreet48 man, James was James, and James WAS the show; these cats are alright, but there is no James out front a groovin' and a shakin', sweaty and half necked! Oh Lord! Lord no!

[@whitemoses]

Gene Chaas Guess what James Brown is dead! Just because they are not him means nothing. It says "James Brown appearing tonight" nowhere. It says "LEttuce playing James Brown songs" Hey man awesome picture that you drew but you are no Monet...um....

[@davidleiva940]

For me, Lettuce is the best funk band nowadays by far. They´re not James & the J.B but I think these guys are awesome.

[@3xStampA2xStamp]

shakedownstreet48 a good friend of mine ate some peanut butter toast and she thinks this is pretty damn close... i don't normally find myself at odds with a deadhead but that was a stupid fucking comment if i've ever seen one
