[@bethperry3613]

love this song from back then 76, but never heard it live..........made my day Nov 24, 2024

[@tracyluter4916]

listen to the version of this song by Robert Glasper: Wow...Just the song in general but check it out

[@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,

[@sherricherry3009]

❤one of my favorite jazz musician's of my time.and.... I'm a late 50's child WHO'S ALWAYS been a jazz fan; ever since I heard/remember the first note of jazz!!... and I'm a MOTOWN child of the GREAT STATE of the GREAT LAKES state of MICHIGAN ❤!

[@GMONY5]

Roy Ayers carried an entire generation with his vibes, this song always sent chills through me.

[@geoffaustin9385]

How could you not be moved by this...simply divine

[@MrTbay1]

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

[@MadouFrusciante]

In my Top 10 ! Gives all kinds of feels ❤️.

[@MarkyNuz]

Can't tell if they're so entranced by the music, or just not appreciating it fully. People would kill to see this these days.

[@1blessedbrotha]

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.

Still love me some Miles Davis. His autobiography is still certified lockdown material to read.

[@simonclifford9215]

I've never seen so many warm comments ..one of .my favourire Roy Ayres tracks and he's still going.....magic

[@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.

What a band!! 🎵😎 This Ayers classic is what summer sounds like.

[@danniesingletary4630]

You guys are right, that audience had no soul. Excellent performance. The bass player didn't miss a note. The guitar solo was nice too. I stumble on this by mistake, glad I made that mistake. I saw Roy Ayers at the World Financial Center. He is the best!,

[@BigOGinge]

I was so lucky to see this line up on a couple of occasions. Zachery Breaux and Donald Davis...legends!!!

the bassman is fantastic, too - love his smooth style!

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

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!
