Real artist who can actually sing and play instruments live.

[@MickyTubbs1985]

Yes indeed; it IS a rarity in this day and age.And those accomplished artists ARE DEFINITELY from a bygone era when ONE'S due diligence to ONE'S craft was " expected " if WANTED " RESPECT."

[@brianmjones6792]

I remember when this came out , I was 13 yrs old. Now this is music, not like the crap they produce today

[@spitfirered]

I took my Kids To This Concert In 1984 In St. Petersburg Florida, We All Loved Them and It Was A Lot Of Fun, Thanks For The Memories, My Kids Are Now In Their Late 40's and still love them!

[@ElleBrOw]

My sisters put me on to good music. The kind we listened to while cleaning Saturday mornings 🙋🏽‍♀️

Nothing beats a live concertfrom the greats

[@nanakwabena61]

Legends

[@1980Triumph]

Second only to The Jacksons that year, Kool and the Gang was easily the second best touring band that year (1984). They could switch up to soul, funk, rock, and jazz without missing a beat and did all genre's as good or better than any other act. Also JT is in full mastery mode, he has total command of the stage. I love the Gang!!!!

[@MJbr2]

Am I allowed to join the party?

[@mikegiles9702]

Kool and Gang was bum is hell they quit a tour with the Gap band cause they couldn't fuck with them

[@blachubear]

These tours plus The Lionel Richie's "Can't Slow Down Tour with Special Guest Tina Turner & of course later on that year "The Purple Rain Tour" with Prince. And I have to honorably mention The Fresh Fest Tour featuring Run-D.M.C. & Whodini.

[@BlackStorm555]

Best part of my childhood was to have this talented group playing on the radio! The pull was and is so strong! James's voice is my favorite chakra.

I've always loved Kool And The Gang! Their music brings back great memories for me. These men were simply pure talent all around & really sang & played real instruments....LIVE!!! No faking of any kind. No lip-syncing etc;. Such beautiful voices & such wonderful, happy & peace loving music. ADORABLE guys & their outfits, TOTALLY 80's chic!!!😄 May all deceased Kool & The Gang band members RIP eternally.🙏 Your loved ones, friends & fans miss you all very much & will always keep your lives, your music and your memories alive forever more.🙏 Thank you, Kool And The Gang, for your gifts and your music! We, your fans, LOVED YOU all then and LOVE YOU now in spirit, for those who've sadly passed. Thank you once again, Reelblack One, for another awesome archived video!! Here's sending my best wishes to all of your viewers. May positivity, love, light, happiness and peace, envelop you all.

[@francinejefferson4253]

They brought back some good good memories of that old love n very good times ❤

[@kamelattit8110]

I'm glad to watch that live. Very great performance from Kool and the gang. It reminds me the same performance i watched them live in Paris 1984. It was with Earth wind and fire the best energetic performance ever. May God give Mercy to this people who provide love and peace in the music

[@terracottaneemtree6697]

Nobody has his voice! Before, during, or after Kool And The Gang

[@montoyareed6150]

They came to New Orleans when I was about 10 years old. I waited the entire parade just to get a glimpse of them on the float. I still remember seeing them and the excitement from everyone in the streets. I also had a crush on J.T.

[@tbone9744]

These guys did an excellent job!!! So much energy through the whole concert. JT was the man. His voice was extraordinaire. I really miss those days. This was an A++++ performance. Too Hot was one of my favorite songs. Always loved that horn solo.

[@kuki5228]

His voice on « Tonight » is incredible. What a fantastic singer !

[@djibinlokoydjo2553]

@@GWard-hz5wj You can't compared Prince ROGERS NELSON than Phillip Bailey... Prince was lead singer but Phillip's background vocal by Maurice White...Go to listen falsetto in " international lovers " Prince...Al Green's the must falsetto voice too... Bailey was Small singer...Not hit Song, only " esay lover " with Phil Collins ". Prince was man Orchestra..He play All instruments and singing all voices...Bailey was only back singer...

Man, I was hittin' the night clubs hot & heavy in the 80's when these fellas were untouchable...and they still are! They kept the dancefloors poppin'. Thanks for the unforgettable memories.

[@gixellia8455]

Oh I love them so much ... ❤😊 Cool music ... 😂 Kool music😊

[@shearglory]

Kool And The Gand sounded Awesome Live like No Other! the way they preformed together as one Family. Look at them Real Artists Live❤

[@darnelljones3765]

Wow!!! What dancing and EVERYTHING! All OVER the stage, with so many dance groupings. They sounded just as good as their records!

[@feliperodriguez8050]

Saw Kool in the Gang at Fort Bragg NC while stationed (82nd Airborne Division)was19 yrs and then saw them again at my homeland Puerto Rico Jan10/1986. Got to admit till now the best 2 concerts I been to!!

I was 20 years old when I saw them in a concert and I am 61 right now and it was one of the most unforgettable fun concerts I’ve seen❤

Rest in Rhythm Khalis!!!!

[@Hotdogger808]

I was lucky enough to live through these special years as a teenager and JT and the band were my go to for funky grooves. Few will ever emulate this sort of creativity and talent again in my opinion. You had to be there living the 80's to understand. Those who were there, you know what i'm talking about, for those who missed out, well I would highly recommend you go make a mix tape (playlist) with some of these timeless classics.....

[@michaeldaniel9457]

This concert was fire 🔥🔥 I wish I was born then. I wish I was in this concert, I sware it would have been the best concert of my life time 🥰😘 I LOVE THAT STORY BOOK PART 😍🥰

[@blachubear]

This show was done at my hometown New Orleans during The 1984 World's Far. I didn't attend this show but this brings back memories going to The World's Fair. It's unfortunate that The World's Fair was a failure in The Big Easy. Oh well, thanks for posting this concert. Oh yeah "Why the song "Joanna" was cut out of this concert? That's a classic. And I would had been a little tick if I went to this show and they didn't play "Jungle Boogie" another classic.

[@evonza4858]

[@pascualbarajas6337]

Not even with the best technology available with today's sound boards and engineering can the studio sound be duplicated on the concert stage. Jt sounds just like the original recording along with the superb base and horns that just hit every note. This was music as it was meant to be not the crap that is played today where every artist sounds the same. Long live funk mixed with pop n jazz. Luv it!!!
