[@tmat2024]

Thanks for a glimpse of what Roy and his group was doing in '76! Like a refreshing glass of water!

[@staceyking9496]

Very interesting, A t💊me CAPS🚀LE back to the mid-seventies!!

[@malcommalso1705]

😂😂😂love itttt🎉

[@cobaltmidnightoilamp6748]

I am humming this song right now, as it takes me back to when I started the 1st grade in the fall 🍂of 1976 as a 7-year-old , PLUS the summer of that year.

[@oteiabc]

Absolutely superb! Roy Ayers was and is simply in a class by himself! I've seen him many times in concert since my college days at UIC, when I skipped class to be at the head of the line to get a front row seat. Then he would look at me and sing to me! Loved it so much! He always puts on a fantastic concert!

[@UMAMIMAMU]

Am I the only one wondering how the sound is so clear for a 35 year old video tape?

[@thedeviator5410]

The great mics of today are the same microphones of yeaterday

[@UMAMIMAMU]

@@thedeviator5410 Yes, but in this instance the sound quality is going to be bottlenecked by the recording media. That being primitive videotape in this case.

[@thedeviator5410]

@@UMAMIMAMU no. The audio from the mics is mixed and placed on top of the footage. There are multiple cameras filming different performers, and spliced together with the mixed sound.

[@UMAMIMAMU]

@@thedeviator5410 I could see that. I was thinking it was a live feed capture since it's so crude. But that does make the most sense.

[@davisrogers5014]

Direct soundboard feed audio matched with video footage

[@Nina513]

One of fav songs by Mr. Ayers.. And Chicas was his greatest female singer that he ever featured on his songs. She had such a unique and powerful tone. I would love to know if she's still singing today.

[@davideskenazi8806]

Chicas performance on “Take All the Time You Need” is one of my favorite performances ever. Soul wrenching.

[@19brittani]

saw roy at Mansfield state U, in PA in 1979. met him after the show at a burger joint called pudgies in town. he was stoned and he was not the only one. lol..

[@bayreddproductions73]

My brother brought me here aa a teenager 😍

[@4hunnid5thecentralspot10]

Being a 80s baby, a lot of people would say that this is before my time, but on the contrary, the music itself is timeless!!!!! I AM AN ROY AYERS UBIQUITY FANATIC!!!!!!! This man is music in its entire form, from funkin wit Rick James, to grand standing with the likes of Billy Cobham, hes blessed the stage n been blessed with artists just as legendary as himself. Needless to say, ever since I heard Searching, Every time I See You, Everybody Loves the Sunshine, and Red, Black, n Green, I was hooked!!!!!!! Being a Dillahead (A fanatic of the late great J Dilla), this music is an inspiration to cats such as myself and millions of others. Love n Respect to this man, his band, and their craft!!!!!!!! SALUTE!!!!!!💯

[@oRuTRa45]

Fellow '80s baby. 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾 Right there with you.

[@tkbradford1247]

A shout out to the flugelhorn player from Pittsburgh, my neighborhood as well, who I jammed with once or twice. John ‘squirrel’ Mosley. Gone too soon. You will truly be missed.

[@tmat2024]

I read about him. Very interesting.

[@MrRob8014]

This is when you could go to a concert and the music sounded just like the record, note for note. True artist

[@margrettawilliams4192]

Exactly!

Man, don't get NO BETTER THAN THIS!

[@straightism1962]

Roy rocked this concert when I was 14 years old and I can remember them banging it on 96,3 fm in DC Howard Univesity Radio. Free your mind while you listen. Peace

[@jimmypowell9838]

born in 76 loved his music before I could walk or talk!!

[@ronaldpowell8009]

Jimmy Powell same here born in 76 New Orleans. I remember hearing those vibes

[@gradywilliamson3578]

Music the way it should be . The songs of the 70's. 👍👍👍👍👍

[@tinawalker8533]

I didn't discover Roy Ayers until I was attending Hampton University (over 20 years ago now)...and have loved him ever since.

[@larrybellinger3953]

I "discovered" him forty years ago at Hampton Institute!

[@donahue478]

Tina better late than never! Myself I've been listening to Roy's melodic tunes since around 1975.

[@lennylenz]

I bet that was a thrill and a treat!!!! The more you run across by him the more you are impressed.

[@AcuayitzinMoteuczoma]

Seeing this performance for the first time here in southern CA 2024.. discovered this song (and album) only last week and bump it almost every day at this point 😂

[@tonymccrady6525]

This song has got to be on one of the play list in Heaven

[@victorhugo-pw7hr]

The best version ❤❤❤❤❤

[@clobbyhops]

Anybody thirsty while listening to Roy Ayers? Well, pour a cup 😃

[@cobaltmidnightoilamp6748]

Pour me a refreshing glass of ice 🧊 cold water to drink to this classy man.

[@standarddeviation5189]

that saxophone solo gave me goosebumps

[@chrisredwood1969]

God man! yeah It does!

[@donmeromerohernandez8862]

Hold up was it even a sax tho 😩

[@oRuTRa45]

The great Justo Almario 🎷🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@crystalmason829]

This music makes me happy to be a homebody lay across my velvet sofa and sip something sweet at night just dreamy🥰🥰🥰

[@timcox2818]

WOW, this is a very rare piece of footage. I happened to see this particular band in the same year, Spring 1976. They played our Black Arts Festival at Slippery Rock State University near Pittsburgh, Pa. -- the dummer that night was a then unknown, young Detroiter named Ricky Lawson, keyboardist was Philip Woo (later played with Frankie and Maze); can't recall the bass player during that time, thought they showed him briefly on this video. Pittsburgh's own John "Squirrel" Mosely, also performs on this video. I used to watch Squirrel perform in the Burgh, very often during the 1980s - after he came off the road with Roy. He's now deceased, but lived a very ull musical life. Thanks for this living piece of history, Inspector Montrachet.....TC

[@alfredkennedy3155]

Philip Woo is a very cool player.He also played in Joe Sample's Creole Joe Band some years ago

[@WillsJazzLoft]

Yeah I thought that's who the flugelhorn player was

[@kevincollins3177]

Ricky Lawson Detroit Cooley high school passed a few years ago!! Rest in Heavenly Peace!!!!! 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🌹🪦

[@pdbass]

SQUIRREL!!! Love and miss you, my brother.

[@matsnilsson565]

Like James Brown, who was the grandfather of Funk, Roy Ayers is as groundbreaking as JAMES BROWN was when it comes to Jazz/Funk.This live performances just blows my mind, damn why wasn't i born earlier. Please link me to other early live footage!

[@craigmoreland9569]

And, Grover!

[@cobaltmidnightoilamp6748]

Mats, I'm a Woodstock baby ☮ 👼🏿was born the week of that event

[@WillsJazzLoft]

This is very rare indeed. Prior to 1990, I don't think that there exist very much video of Roy. The only exception being the couple of appearances that he made on Soul Train kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZa1naJ5Zsp3j68

[@ivanking569]

Like the great Lionel Hampton before him, Mr. Ayers continued those 'Good Vibrations'! I love this groove. Great music NEVER dies.

[@hopetrnr0]

The year I was born. Now I'm a jazz neosoul singer/poet that spreads good vibrations everywhere I go. Somehow I think he had something to do with it.

[@kevincollins3177]

I did a video (everybody’s grooving )with Roy Ayers ….sat on the couch and talk with him for a minute he told me some things that I really needed to know about him I’ve been listening to him since 1974 this video is awesome thank you Roy thank you chicas!!!!! nothing but good vibrations🌹🌹🌹❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

[@rodrickdubose659]

How genius do you have to be to master an instrument such as the vibraphone/xylophone...how many instructors for that instrument are in the yellow pages...Roy Ayers is a master of the instrument and took it to another level by bringing it into the realm of funk/soul music.

[@pete9971]

God's people making music... Whether they know it or not they are giving praise to The Creator...❤😊

[@PortSDG]

bless T for showing us this song

[@PaulNigelWarner]

[@afrosensuous]

NOW THAT'S A FRESH-OF-BREATH-AIR!

[@09trareg]

Yes!! Makes me so sad that this video is a reminder of the void of good music today. This video makes me want to reverse time. Glad I had the experience.

I love Roy Ayers and have listened to just about everything I can of him, but funny enough, I'm brought to this clip specifically because of Curren$y and The Alchemist, on a mixtape from a few years back called The Carrollton Heist. So so happy I found this footage

[@bclark3315]

What song did they sample Roy. Everytime alchemist and currensy get together instant classic

Good vibrations!!! Thank you Roy ✌🏾✌🏾✌🏾✌🏾

[@FIREALARMGUY-r6b]

The godfather of Neo soul

[@oRuTRa45]

Whoa!!! This is definitely rare! Instant favorite! Can we get the venue? Personnel? Other than Roy, I only recognize (by sight and sound) Justo Almario (unmistakable tenor sax) and John Mosley (flugelhorn). Judging by the year, I can only guess that maybe William Allen (bass), Chano O'Ferral (congas) and maybe Philip Woo on keys are in there?? A little help?

.....WDAS FM, Philly. Nuff Said!
