Living Colour - Pride (Live at the Apollo)

[@HonkeyTheBear]

Such an amazing vocalist. One of the best in rock history in my opinion. Shockingly underrated.

[@auto_5]

Can’t help but think he HAS to have inspired lajon Witherspoon of Sevendust

[@blakfloyd]

Indeed. Strength, range, control, dynamics, emotional expression. Can't find one damn weakness in his skill set.

[@peekaboo4390]

Top 10 vocals of all time, no doubts.

[@dominolexington420]

His voice always reminded me of Carl Anderson. When I found out Corey actually did play Judas in a production Jesus Christ Superstar I was like, "That's no surprise at all!" 🤘

[@drock1383]

this song was performed so flawlessly, that it could have almost be passed as the album version. dead serious. dead on it. damn i miss the 90s

[@RashidSivaji]

D Rock probably because the only things live are the drums and vocals. The rest is a backing track

[@ericgenestvideoclips]

nah, just the vocals. all the rest is the record

Always been one of my favorites! Great musicians and an awesome vocalist!

[@SuperGamer87]

No auto-tune. No silly gimmicks. No excessively-showy props. No pretentious use of "avant-garde" costumes. No ridiculous over-choreographed dance routines. Just four world-class musicians, speaking straight from the heart, and performing well live because that's how music had generally to exist, once upon a time.

[@DeadE5iah]

SuperGamer87 the guitar solo was not real, from the studio record

[@rogersgonc]

Yep , Corey sang over the tape. The others just pretended it. Used to happen a lot on TV back in time. But singer singing over it didn't happen that often. A shame they had to go through it because they're better live! Priceless!

[@VojtechRozsival]

@@rogersgonc It happened a lot. Not in this case though imho. First - Will obviously plays. And playing it along with the studio version, it differs....

funny you say that ! i saw them that saturday with extreme !! so amazing

[@Deadleg]

That snare, murderous.

[@normmacdonaldrules4602]

Will Calhoun, Michael Bland, Peter Erskine, John Blackwell, Bernard Purdie Terry Bozzio, Buddy Rich and Josh Freese have some of the most interesting feels and greatest drum sounds ever.

i wish i knew what reverb will uses. Maybe Eventide?

[@AcDcDrummerJake1215]

It’s one of those snare drum sounds that sits perfectly in between a “pop” a “chuck” and a “crack” and it just works for amazingly.

[@markdaniels7174]

First two albums were crazy good. And they were one of the best concerts I’ve ever been to… every LC song lends itself to head-banging, and head-banging we did.

[@MrSyCoe]

These guys are F**IN AWESOME. Period!

[@arrowdepaul1999]

How as a culture did we fall so far from this beautiful victory...I grew up listening to these guys always been one of my favorite bands.

[@IamTheSeventhAngel]

They Tore this up in the Apollo, This Group was taken Lightly in their Ambiguous messages that actually spoke into the Issues of the Day, Be It Racism,Poverty, or what have You, They were **Not** Afraid to Touch on the Issues and Promulgate them in the Face of The Ruling Powers. Thats what being an Authentic Artist is About.The being a Conduit for the People,Never be Afraid to Stand for those that Made You who You are,Who Supported You. **Living Colour** Never Ever Compromised Nor Forgot **The People** .They will Always have Honor and Respect.

[@JohnnyC976]

***** Nicely said. I would listen to them and scream why aren't they huge?!? They were so different from everything else, so much better.

[@LongDrivesAtNight5150]

***** I wonder if the guys in the band believe white people are born with tails.

[@henryrollins9177]

And all those are the reason " they didn't suceed" and will never be in the Hall of Fame. And thats ok to me...they are too human and honest to be there...

[@dougdrazga4461]

Saw these guys at a club about 15 years ago. They still had it then. A great band whether they were black, white or purple.

[@MarcoPC1000]

Hi guys, i always remember when i listened the main songs of living colour on the radio here in Brazil. One of the first thing then i did when the internet started with youtube, i tryed to looking for the band songs... and i discovered a universe. I really enjoy the living colour songs!

[@aronroger5087]

Marco Camargo shout out to you brother how are things going on down there.

[@Rochagabs]

Um br? Bom saber q não sou o único *-*

[@Barlow88]

It blows my mind how effortlessly they play exactly like the studio version of this song. They are one of the most underrated bands EVER

[@ryanacree]

I thought it WAS the studio version at first. Unreal.

[@ZosAos]

FYI they're just pretending to play what you hear, unfortunately. Only the vocals (and maybe the drums) are live/miked. A bit disappointing tbh.

[@Sugarhilljah]

Corey has amazing vox, totally underrated! And the band, shit, really there's only 3 instruments?! So full! Amazing sound

[@AR-ii3ly]

Jason Hill the singing was live but the instrumentation wasn't.

[@MrPearlmasters]

Jason Hill Vernon Reid has a 'very big part' in this Full sound. If you take the guitar parts from Vernon Reid away...it would be much less Full. For sure! Vernon Reid is 'the' driving part in living colour. Excellent guitar player!

[@professionalboycottservice7872]

Underrated? CM Punk uses their music

[@gottabidonthings]

What's a vox

[@mudfoot3000]

These brothers dropping knowledge and rockin" at the same time GREAT SONG. I bought their tape back in the day.to bad many black people didn't get their message or couldn't feel the rock music. which really is our music anyway.

[@christschinwon]

The fact is their message was strong in a postive way & I'm sure it has filtered through the industry. It's not obvious but how can any right minded person not give this band cred??!!!!!

[@HarlinNeal]

I was a fan of their music from the moment I first heard "Cult of Personality". So see black folks ROCK like this was an awesome sight...both in 1988 when I was a junior in high school, and today.

[@spankygrant]

You should have seen Bad Brains in the early/mid 80's live as well....like a religious experience. I (thankfully) saw Living Colour on their swing through Toronto in 89 before the album really exploded. I have always felt grateful to my first boss for convincing me to go that show as they obviously are killer live.

[@kidsworldstorytime4885]

Absolutely. Blues came from black people and rock came from the blues. I wish there were more black rock artists.

[@normmacdonaldrules4602]

If by "our" music...you mean actual musicians right...because if your talking color of skin...then you straight up owe the twelve note tonal system and their accompanying instruments to white Europeans...but the last time I ran a check...everybodies plates are from Africa. Stop with this ignorant racist bullshit.

[@TheAdam159]

these guys are so underrated. Vocals and guitar are just awesome

[@juaneps]

[@zegonzales1]

They rocked back then ...

[@renematteo9409]

I love living colour, the best !!!

[@totigerus]

The reason why people think this is not a live performance, is because Living Colour were THAT good! This same phenomenon has happened to me with other amazing artists like Seals And Crofts, early Dokken and early Thomas Dolby.

[@gerardovivanco5631]

THIS..... is bad ass rock and roll!! Loud, and in your face!!!

[@b.u.dmusic9424]

I'm disgusted by how that audience was acting. This man was dropping knowledge and at the same time he was singing really good and they were all over that stage. People often ask why this band is not bigger than what they are and I have one answer their own people. Black people should have gotten behind and should get behind groups like this because these are the true trend setters

[@robertsmith9994]

Thank You!!! I was feeling the same way. It's considered "white music" by the ignorant. This was our music until we let it be taken from us.

[@crystalcormier3148]

Exactly Bud!!!! Its damn shame our own motherfuckin people didnt get behind these wonderful talented musicians. Im big fan heavy metal due to them Bud. Also im intermediate guitar player, just started learning barre chords.

[@Swonder1972]

They were wildly popular with the white rock crowd....this audience wasn't ready for rock...black people did not initially come to see Bob Marley either...even when he played in Harlem...it was mainly white trustafarians that came to the show...and actually, still...

[@Imadeyourun]

That's because the vast majority of black people back then didn't even think of giving rock or metal a chance. Even when the bands were made up of people of their own skin color. A lot of great bands such as Bad Brains, Black Death, and Sound Barrier never got the recognition they should have by the black community as most of them couldn't appreciate this kind of music. Living Color was a great band. They weren't as hard as I'm used to, but they had good messages in their music. I grew up listening to heavy metal starting with Alice Cooper, Kiss, and Twisted sister before getting more into trash, death, and black metal. I was always looking for the hardest, fastest, and most extreme forms of music. But, I always wondered why their weren't many black rock and heavy metal bands back then as I was kind of looking for some black role models in those genres. It's a lot better now, but still the amount of rock and heavy metal bands that exist are still rather scarce as are the number of black people who appreciate them.

[@Swonder1972]

@@robertsmith9994 No, that is racist...Music is not about race...it is what brought the races together...

[@RootzofMusicInc]

For me, across all genres, this is one of the all time greatest ensemble of music and musicians. I'm a Jazz guitarist but these guys gives me the best goosebumps everytime I listen to them. The lyrics are 1,000 % on point.

[@markmahoney5255]

Damn! I've just reconnected with this band. Their music today rings true as it did thirty years ago (esp. with Donald DipShit in office). The musicality of this band is just off the charts. Looking back, I wonder if they were just too good, too creative or too cerebral for the average listener of their time. During the time they were popular, I knew many musicians that while they weren't into the hard rock element of Living Colour, always gave props to the musicianship, song writing, lyrics and originality. For me I was into it all. Rediscovering Living Colour after all these years later is just as invigorating as the first time I heard them.
