Living Colour feat Steve Vai 2022 09 02 Rock in Rio Rio de Janeiro, Brazil 1080p

[@rammelcol]

Living Colour is a band from the 80's! Late 80's early 90's mind you. How can Corey Glover still be singing at this level and probably even better than he was then!? Amazing!!

[@rollotomassi4768]

Well when you fought the vietcong, singing isn't that hard.

[@bdsatterfield]

Living Colour and Corey don't do the release a full length record/CD then tour. Repeat. Repeat these last 25+ years.

[@bdsatterfield]

@@rollotomassi4768 curious - fought what?

[@osiruskat]

@@bdsatterfield his part in that Tom Hank's war movie.

[@Bob-of-Zoid]

Just look at Steven Taylor, and many others, they do it too. You just have to use it, or else loose it.

[@SMGMusic14]

One of the most underrated bands of all time

[@ericdockery305]

For real! These guys wrote some incredible songs and still are amazing as individual performers!

[@Fakename70]

Where do people get this idea Living Colour is “underrated”? You realise they were all over mainstream rock radio, media and MTV between 1988-1994, right? Not to mention the sole support act for the North American leg of The Rolling Stones 1989 Steel Wheels Tour. They had their time in the spotlight and then it faded. It happens. How does anything I just ran down for you describe a band that is “underrated”?

[@blakefam5406]

Another cliche comment that everyone says...you ever notice that none of the comments on KZbin are ever about the music...there always cliche comments that don't take a lot of thought or in depth musical knowledge...nothing that you actually learn something new from or would write in a magazine article about the band...in fact, a lot of KZbin comments ruin what music is really supposed to be...most of the KZbin comments are just opinions that dirty up the energy, flow and air space that is entitled for the song...that's why artists and bands don't even look at the comments or they would probably feel insulted about a lot of them, not by them but what the comment is actually about...music is art...people who critique art that have never picked up a paint brush and painted a original piece of art really don't have the ability to properly comment about anything a artist creates...it's like someone answering the phone in a different language then the language being used by the person calling...you will not find this comment that I just wrote here on any other video on KZbin or anywhere in the world. It is a original thought unlike 90% of all KZbin comments which are either the same comment on different video's hence "I'm the first person to comment on this video" or the standard cliche comment "this band doesn't get the recognition they deserve" or "this song makes me feel like walking into McDonalds and ordering 10 Big Mac's before I punch the manager in the face"...these are typical grade school cliche comments that you find on many video's and at the same time it's these kind of low class cliche comments that get more likes then a thoughtful creative well written talented inspiring comment that usually doesn't get a like at all. This phenomenon shows the digression of the newer generations in society being more of followers or cattle then having leadership qualities which is why we are not producing anymore Steve Jobs or lyrical rappers who would both actually develop the abilities in the next individuals coming out of highschool or college to be of that high level creative caliber. Instead, the students graduating highschool and college are not accomplishing anything new hence these same old cliche non-inspiring comments on almost every video getting the most attention and most likes which drain the reader of learning anything new or developing anything creative for the next students graduating therefore we have more and more followers online and in the world which is why there has been no new music that is top shelf of innovative creations or inventions for the last century. It is all recycled overused treadmill factory produced assembly line created low level made in your bedroom instead of big city intelligence driven new dimensional million dollar made music in elaborate studio's with all 4 or 5 members of the band and a well rounded music producer in one place instead of the music file being emailed to each member sitting in their bedroom of their parents house recording their separate part without any outside input throwing different idea's into the musical stew simmering and marinating the music and lyrics so that magic is made and not a lop sided idea where you have one or two of the members laying down their tracks with the other two or three band members contributing cliche overused auto-tuned uneducated music idea's this creating a haphazard piece of music that will not inspire the listener so that they create another lack luster piece of music and the cycle continues as each band follows the other never creating another Pink Floyd -The Wall or the Beatles - Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club masterpiece or a Jay-Z - Reasonable Doubt or Notorious BIG - Ready To Die. This non evolution will not only effect the music business but the same can be said for movies or just about anything else where creativity is needed. Hence, the reason you cannot remember the last time you saw a great classic movie or heard a CD from beginning to end where each and every song is brilliant. I conclude by saying please do not encourage trendy comments since it just effects everything else in society bringing the bar set to a low level with a bunch of followers trying to lead the way.

Corey Glover is still singing so well, the songs sound fresh... what a wonderful concert. They should tour together!

[@cornfilledscreamer614]

Shit - he sang Plant better than Plant can sure as hell sing nowadays! CG is a badass!

[@cornfilledscreamer614]

@D M Definitely!

[@cornfilledscreamer614]

@D M You couldn't be more correct. I play in a band that has had pretty good regional success, and I would give my a$$ to go down there and play. I'd always heard how great the crowds were down there, but I think it was when I saw Rush perform YYZ a few years back down there that it really blew my mind. Hell - you could tell it blew Rush's minds!

[@PaulRoub]

Yes! I saw them on their first tour, just before the debut was released -- and Corey might sound *better* now! (don't get me wrong, they were amazing then...)

[@badtortoise3338]

the orange hair does him wonders. looks like shit!

[@guyparfitt2193]

How Can Corey sound sooo good? Great band, Vernon is the king of riffs, Vai on stage, Doug's bass playing, Will is a powerhouse....pure brilliance!

[@RobBeatdownBrown]

I am SOO HAPPY too see these legends on this giant stage!

[@AdvancedLiving]

My band opened for them in a club in Philly in 1988. I was blown away by Corey’s voice then and I am today. Dude’s a powerhouse.

[@gtf2648]

Doug Wimbish is great. I had the honor of making many basses for him back in the 80's when I worked for Spector including the one in this video. All that being said, I still miss Muzz Skillings...

[@krissimms4775]

DOUG IS A SAVAGE..MUZZ WAS WAS PHENOMENAL BUT DECIDED CIVILIAN LIFE SUITED HIM BETTER.🤔🤔🤔

[@marcagins3492]

[@paul_domici]

His voice is stronger than ever!!! Great show including Steve Vai was awesome!!!

[@JasonDavis103]

Corey Glover... on top of his vocal game, still... 34 years later. Wow. And not to diminish Wimbish, Calhoun or Reid. The whole band is still on top of their game. Fantastic. It is incredible that these fellas can still rock a crowd this size after so many years. I love it.

[@jonathanhathaway7796]

Saw them 10 times starting in 89 with the Stones, but the 91 Time's Up show in Boston was untouchable. Corey is always good, but he was on fire that night whipping his head around with those cornrows. One of the greatest of many concerts

[@kevthebass]

Doug Wimbish - A living legend on bass - Great band, Vai fits in perfectly too

[@gerimayawhyte154]

I always like Muzz Skillings better. Doug is amazing but I always feel his style doesn't quite work. Just not enough holding down the low end for my taste. I know that Doug can play that way because I've seen him play more like that live with Seal but I feel Living Colour never really gave him any restrictions and he just overplays a lot.

[@shieldsymusic]

My God can he sing!!!! How many singers his age can still belt it out just as good as when they were young? Not many, if any.....

[@thehawk05]

What a great set made even better having Vai come out…….so good. I’ve been a fan of Living Colour since I bought Vivid back in ‘88. I’ve seen them live numerous times and they remain unquestionably one of the best live bands I’ve ever seen. And what more can be said about Corey Glover that hasn’t been said already? One of the greatest vocalists to do it and unbelievably sounds as good (if not better) than he did when he was a young man.

[@mymanjimi]

Fantastic set by the mighty Living Colour for a wonderful and appreciative audience. Killer guest spot by Steve Vai, great chemistry, mutual respect & admiration between this group of masterful musicians -- hope to see them jam together some more in the future!

[@macrossgeorge]

One of my favorite bands of all time. Go see them live if you ever get a chance. I saw them in 1989 and in 2019 and both were amazing shows. They are super tight, great energy, meaningful lyrics, original creativity, and all absolutely phenomenal musicians. Seeing them live in 2019 actually changed my life for the better. LOVE Living Colour!!! Such an inspiration

[@BobMaulucci]

Still inspiring folks for thirty plus years. Thank you Vernon, Corey, Doug, and Will. And Steve Vai is Steve Vai. What else can you say.

[@MrGravloc]

Saw them 4 decades ago at Shea Stadium With the Stones when I was a teen and they sound fresh . You can see the drummer trains and takes his vitamins . Zero disappointment , MoJo in full effect .

[@AudioFileZ]

Great surprise! Corey's voice is at 110%! Vernon Reid still shredding like he extra fingers! What can I say about a pyle-driving rhythm section except they're tighter than ever, yet like dudes half their age! Oh, Yeah then there's that Vai fellow. Nutz! Huge Rockin' Tonight!

What a gorgeous show. Amazing band and Steve vai as ever excellent.

[@dannymiles6503]

Brilliant vocals, drumming, bass and 2 devastating guitar wizards in Vernon and Steve. A Powerhouse.

[@shaunloynds5317]

As a band they are extraordinary. Will Calhoun is just off the scale. Seen 'em live lots over the last 30 years and they are powerfully unflinching every time.

Cuando Living Colour se separó en 1995 sin que los hubiera visto en directo y siendo mi banda preferida fue muy triste. Gracias a Dios tras su reunión los he visto 3 veces en directo y siguen dando guerra!!! Que maravilla!!!!

And burnin Vernon !

[@juddlongacre4293]

Vernon Reid is the most underrated guitarist.Why is he not more well known.He is a sooooooo creative and so unique not only with his incredibly fast solos but damn his solos ain't just fast for fast freakin sake.There are very memorable and his use of pedals guitar synths and computer effects are state of the art.This man is a top 5 rock guitarist he ain't a traditionalist but fuck he is so original and he can shred with any of todays heroes

[@juddlongacre4293]

And Doug wimbish is just cool

So good to see Living Colour still rocking! They are still performing like they are still in their prime. And having Vai come out too? Damn, how awesome can it get??

THANK YOU so much for posting/sharing!!!! Absolutely amazing performance (as always). Oh, and by the way, the intro music/song that Vernon is playing right before Desperate People is "Where No Man Has Gone Before", which was the theme music for the original Star Trek TV series. Thanks again!

[@ROOKTABULA]

I drove 350 miles to see Steve play in an arena in 88, with Whitesnake, and then at a clinic in 2015 where I sat and watched him from 15 feet away before having a nice chat with him. Good dude. Saw Calhoun a few years ago playing a gig with Paul Schafer's band. Kinda wild to see 'em together Steve's guitar pretty much buried Vernon's (so far) watching Rock n Roll

[@ohbogey]

I'm not formally accusing them of being time lords, but good God, they are running circles around their contemporaries from the same era & i think they'd still rule the stage compared to alot of modern rock & roll bands. Anyway, my ears are thrilled, Living Colour is somehow simultaneously trolling and spoiling us fans, thank you gentlemen!!🙏You make this life incredible

[@goodrabbit66]

Still great since 1988. that Yin & Yang Guitar has seen so many Shows. Living Colour is still VIVID!

[@MySpacelord]

I saw Living Colour live three times but the last time is almost 20 years ago. I occasionally watched more recent clips on YT here and thought that they sadly lost it. Finally got too old, I thought. This show proves: far from it! So incredible. This concert is as good as the shows I saw in '93 and 2003. It is not as good as the 1988 show I saw, their first Europe tour, but hey: that cannot be matched -- the freshness, the raw energy of youth and being the new hot thing. However. I am totally blown away. And then you get Steve Vai on top of it and they play Zep and Hendrix … thanks so much for this upload.
