Rare Earth - I Just Want To Celebrate (Live) Reaction

[@TomTom-ui9hg]

You don't see crowds like that anymore in the USA. Music was an experience back then. So glad I am old enough to have been part of it. I so miss those days! Peace.

[@deborahcornell171]

@Tom Tom Right there with you, with joy in my heart & a tiny little tear in my eye.💙

[@shelter9236]

Yeah, who would want to be in the back, geez, yeah, a mass of humanity there.

[@TomTom-ui9hg]

@@shelter9236 Humanity is correct, all for the music and throw in lots peace and love for one another. Miss that also!

[@ldbagwell]

Me too, I used to at least once a month go to a concert. Was too young and little (very little) for Woodstock. But would have in all up in it!

We had three channels on tv no computers and no damn cell phones. However, we had the best music and the most fun of any generation ever !!!

[@MessianicJudaism]

The days when concerts were awesome.

[@AutomationDnD]

*Thats Right* ..... I do NOT go to (commercial) concerts any more. Not Worth it once in a while you DO find someone who IS actually good "Live"... ....... but then, they are not "HeadLiners" any more. Rock used to be "Real"

[@davideldridge9021]

It would be so fun Jamel if we could transport you back to some of these 70's concerts.

Wow! There is no more a perfect thought . Those were the very best concerts. Wishing you at least get the spirit of the music back then... very positive and uplifting.👍

[@patdonnelly9392]

They were one hard working band!! Look at the rainbow behind them. Back then...it symbolized happiness, good times and peace.

Ahhh yes...60's and 70's music. That's when music was music. Concerts were special experiences. Good times.

I know the company name, but not anyone who works there.

[@carmenjones5528]

Yes we did,unfortunately If we only knew what we know we should have kept our foot down and not let shit get so out of control. Actually we had more freedom then and didn't even truly know it. And we all got along for the most part.Just.party like are life depended on it. So glad so I loved in these times.I had so much fun.

[@bigjay123]

Those open air festivals were great. You gonna hear the band no matter where you at.

[@josephbabitz1643]

INCREDIBLE SONG! INCREDIBLY UNDERRATED BAND! CAN YOU IMAGINE PERFORMING BEFORE A CROWD OF OVER 200,000 PEOPLE? WHAT A RUSH THAT HAD TO BE! THANKS JAMAL FOR FEATURING THIS AWESOME SONG AND PROVIDING US WITH ANOTHER SUPER ENTERTAINING VIDEO REACTION. YOU ARE THE BEST!

[@tedholiday3511]

Peter Rivera the drummer and singer that started Rare Earth is still playing today at age 73 !

[@jesseKFG]

Hey man thanks for reacting to this! You're awesome brother! Peter Rivera, the lead singer/drummer is my father and I'm going to send this to him. He'll love it! You would be amazed how many times he got the reaction of "what? Those guys were white?!?" when they heard them perform. You want to hear a fun one... Check out Kanye's song "Fade" from his Life of Pablo album. The whole track is my dad's voice singing "I feel it fade..." They sampled his voice only from his Rare Earth track "(I know I'm) Losin You". Love how music can bring people together!

[@christhoms5676]

How has nobody replied to this? That man, Peter Rivera, is this guys father. Your dad and Levon Helm - The best singing drummers of all time. Hope you and your dad are well!

[@bobthebear1246]

Cool except for the Kanye West part.

[@joeluv0078]

This was a time when outdoor music festivals like this were normally done once a month in different states. Here's the amazing FACT, No Shootings, No Stabbings, EVERY RACE COLOR and CREED getting along just for the love of music. It's a shame events like this are no longer around.

[@bobthebear1246]

You can thank the music industry in the 1980s for the music segregation that really started in earnest in 1985. I remember it well. This is why we need Black KZbin Reactors delving into 1960s, 70s and 80s Rock 'n' Roll.

[@sheiladrucker6872]

That is a sea of people! What a Jam!

[@BlessedMe11]

I grew up listening to Rare Earth! I STILL LOVE their music! This band could absolutely ROCK It!

I am so blessed, I lived during these times! Yeah!

I wish I was there but I was only 13 and my parents said no. 4 years later, in '78, they held CalJam II. I was there for that. Ted Nugent, Aerosmith, Heart, Santana and countless other bands. What an experience!

[@vannacee26]

Yep! 1978 was my Cal Jam experience, too! :D Also performing was Foreigner

Since y'all were there you'd prolly b the ones to ask. Was that festival at the old Ontario Motor Speedway?

Dont ever get overwhelmed by the number of requests, the second we are stressing you, take a break. Days, weeks, whatever, we know this isnt your only gig in life. I would rather wait for a song then have you get tired of doing this. Enjoy the 4th!

@ the age of 18, I was there in 1974 with 3 other friends... We piled up in my friend Alex's 64 VW bug, brought along the "necessities" and enjoyed a day of awesome music that included a lineup of bands that just plain "kicked ass".... Emerson Lake and Palmer, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Black Oak Arkansas, Rare Earth, Earth Wind and Fire, the Eagles, Seals and Croft..... It was a great experience......!

I remember Cal Jam, at the late, great Ontario Motor Speedway (now just a commercial real estate development - Ontario Mills Mall is adjacent). Cal Jam had about 350,000 in attendance! My older brother was there - I was not.

[@danareynolds1786]

Most all of the "Cal Jam" events were held at the old Ontario Motor Speedway", which is where this one was. Ontario Mills Mall is basically on the land of the former Speedway. Notice how much open land there was back then when Ontario was "the boonies"!

[@pixelbot2000]

In the Inland Empire as the area is known! I grew up in nearby Rialto.

[@sbaconceo]

Vineyard Avenue, had actual grapevines. Ontario Airport sits on that land now.

About 400,000 happy fans during a beautiful Cal spring day. Freaking fantastic concert, one of the greatest festivals of all time.

I was lucky enough to grow up at this time just feel sorry for today’s generation..we had it all!

One of my favorite versions of this song . i remember watching this on Tv when ABC broadcasted it in 1974. big Rare Earth Fan since they released Get Ready in 1969 met the band a Couple of times i have all their autographs and Peter gave me his Drumsticks. R.I.P. To Gil sax & Tambourine, Mark Keyboards and (overalls),Eddie congas and percussions .

Wasn't at the California Jam, but did see them at an outdoor concert in 73 or 74. Every bit as amazing. 👍

[@brandywine0710]

Thanks for the post, Jamal. And here's another bit of info. I believe this jam was on the Motown label. It must've been when it was going in another direction without abandoning their most loyal fans

[@jlhilbert1]

Need to listen to Rare Earth’s “Hey Big Brother”

[@redcrabsc1149]

This!

[@sygendron]

My boyfriend and I use to take show pictures in the 70s. I still have some that are gems. We wouldn't sell them or anything. It was just so we could have memories of the event. It was just thrilling to process the film and see what kind of prints we'd get.

[@ericmyers5003]

As always "Great reaction." You make watching video's even more enjoyable than they already are!🤘🎸

I wasn't there but did see them in Norfolk the following year !! My very first concert. My wife was there as well, pregnant with our second son,who will be 45 this October!! Time flies!
