Yooooo....this crowd was sooo unappreciative to the straight up mastery and skill and pure essence of life this man brings with his crew. They just..SAT there!!!! I would have lost my EVER LASTING MINNNNDDDD in this performance!

[@quintinfranklin9168]

Me, & will listen to this when listening is no more for me!

[@maggsw5481]

@@quintinfranklin9168 I know exactly what you mean. I played it yesterday and this morning and will always continue to play it. I feel this live version is the best - out of all the other live versions and dare I say, even better than the studio album, which I bought when it was released in 1976. Ayers has this incredible way he puts his chords together. Whether it's this track or 'Searchin' or ' Runnin' away' etc. He's just brilliant!!

[@barbiebeckford2988]

Just came to ask this.

[@sphiwemashaba2661]

Roy Ayers must have been at his prime here! And this has to be without doubt, his best band to date! What a fine version of Everybody Loves The Sunshine. Pitty that the audience was not ready for the kind of greatness that stood before them on that day.

[@marquiselektrek8452]

Sphiwe Mashaba, I am a musician, and I agree with everything that you said! I've not heard all of the bands and ensembles that Mr. Ayers has played with, but it's hard for me to imagine any of them sounding as good as this one here, b/c the arrangement, musicianship, and virtuosity on display her is off the chart! The band and Roy Ayres are maddeningly tight! 😁 In fact this is one of my favorite live performances of all time! All genres of music considered! Lastly, it's so sad that there are very few of today's band's showcasing this level of skill and musicianship. Maybe today's kids can watch this video to see how it's done! Peace✌️

[@dylanmace2851]

Ray Gaskins (RIP) was a great addition to the band though,

[@ToyeCalvin91]

I’m a 90”s baby.....I’m soaking all of this up.....pen and paper in hand, this is gold.

This is the sweetest version I've heard of this cut yet. The guitar player and drummer are nice.

[@larrybutler8965]

I was in college OU when I heard this at party went out and bought the eight track at Soundwarehouse on West Lindsey. And I played that bad boy all the time especially going down that two lane highway going home from school. It’s like a chant cause everybody’s love the sunshine. Here it is 2023 and it takes me back to the first time I heard. Oh I could run like the wind back then and so carefree.. Yes life.. in the sunshine..LB Thursday January 26, 2023…😊

so good to see Roy giving props to Miles Davis, because he so deeply deserves every bit! We live for Roy Ayres here in D.C. because he never forgets us when he's on tour! Thank you so much for this smoove, mellow version of my all-time favorite jazz anthem. I'm so feelin this ace interpretation.

This was my favorite jam in 75. I'm in tech school in Denver CO. My favorite Saturday morning vibe.

[@cessaly100]

Yep! Heard it in New York City summer of 1978, bought the album right away. Still fabulous!

[@dyrldouglas2087]

I am a big Roy Ayers fan , his blend of Jazz & Soul was a new sound back in the 70's. G'on Roy, "Take all the time you need".

[@taron5648]

I wouldve loved to been in that audience.

[@dimitrispoupoulis4888]

Genuine music for the soul!! Thanks Mr. Roy Ayers!

[@CrystalFissure]

I feel like this is definitively one of the greatest music tracks of all time. Those chords are beautiful. No wonder so many Deep House, Nu-Jazz, Hip Hop and Techno artists sample and are inspired by Roy Ayers and by extension, Miles Davis and other Jazz innovators. Truly incredible.

[@flowerpower111]

CrystalFissure alright man, see you on lots of soichi tunes :)

[@CrystalFissure]

Soichi is one of my favourites!

[@CrystalFissure]

Correction - Soichi Terada is my favourite. Seeing him live this coming Thursday in Adelaide.

[@flowerpower111]

CrystalFissure wow very jealous! missed him recently in berlin, was very bummed out..

[@oholm09]

It's called fusion funk soul dance and other catagorie

[@chart3]

music like this is why hip hop and jazz were always supposed to stay linked together. a lot of hip hop artists put lyrics to songs like these that didn't have any or many lyrics, but the tone of the music helped create a positive mindstate which produced great rap music. most of today's hip hop is garbage, but then again, i was saying that 15 years ago. i'm a jazzhead at heart anyway, lol.

[@petrsson]

Forget the audience and just float with the sound

Crowd looked like he was performing to a room full of stiffs. He rocked it despite a dead crowd.

[@gregoryburton1241]

Been listening to Roy since the 70's. He, Grover Washington Jr, Ronnie Laws, Bob James, Dexter Wansel, Donald Byrd, The Crusaders and Lonnie Liston Smith took charge of the jazz-fusion movement and hit it out the park. One of my all time favorite artist. This audience must have been left over from an infomercial spot!

[@MrDoobie28]

from the man who gave us 'Poo Poo La La' !! I love this song, full of soul and feeling. One of the best guitar solos I have ever heard--comes in at 4.10. The band is tight but there is space in the music shame about the audience. brings me great joy. xx
