Herbie Hancock - Rockit, Live on The Tube. 1984

[@djroach3237]

This is when life was simple. Beat childhood! Being a kid in the 80"s was fantastic!

[@matceletti]

The 80 were fantastics

[@ZipSnipe]

This actually kicks ass, I can hear techno, industrial and breakbeat influence all in this beautiful masterpiece

[@soulsurvivor4499]

This was the breakdancing anthem💥

[@CarlitoNahual88]

You said the word: masterpiece. It such is. HH and his band demonstrated they could discover the future with their musical journey. I love the way this is a techno track but still a jazz masterpiece. HH was way beyond his season on this one. Just amazing!!!

[@StepBruthaz]

The Video changed my life as a kid.... still loving it in my 50s. This live performance is just awesome!!

[@user-ez1zc1kk4e]

Это супер! Я помню 80е. Было весело!

[@aaronlattimore9409]

[@breakboytee7460]

That stage was a mad house that's why i love the 80s

[@udsmall7306]

ha check out Parliament/Funkadelic! They sometimes had like 50 ppl onstage lol

[@breakboytee7460]

@@udsmall7306 yeah even when they went into the rock & roll hall of fame there were 100 people on stage lol

[@scottgibson807]

That is some seriously concentrated 1984 there.

[@blackamericatelevisionnews7842]

I saw this when i was a kid.

[@allen6924]

Jesus H. that was so mind blowing to see the song performed live...And the way the crowd was dancing to it. that's when Club music was still music played by bands. Expertly done by a Master musician and his group. He learned from the best...Miles D.

[@macrvy]

80s Beautiful Hip Hop. Hip music sounds. DJ. Scratch. Jazz. Funk. Dance. Beat. Rhythm. I wanna be cool, too. Fantastic.

[@TheFartGallery]

[@hyultracolor]

Yeah cool 80s

[@crenshawblaster3982]

uhh those Simmons SDSV beauties, cold bloodedly cool...

[@udsmall7306]

hell ya, so distinctive sounding...Neil Peart (Rush drummer) had a full set behind his stool on a rotating platform with his sick massive Pearl DX acoustics up front- played BOTH sets as they revolved around him, during the YYZ solo! You physically could feel the rolls thudding into your chest! I was *there* front row, Moving Pictures tour '82. Almost got a broken stick tip in the forehead lol! Caught a pick Alex (guitarist) zinged right to me. Great show... Also, if I recall correctly, Rick Allen (Def Lep drummer) worked with Simmons to develop a custom designed set after he lost an arm rolling his Corvette...really gave them that distinct top/bottom syncopated sound. 💪🤘

[@tonyaburckhardt4443]

😊😊😊

[@o0monox0o]

holy shit, geek funk af

[@johnd1466]
