Sergio Mendes Alibis Live In Tokyo 1984

[@Antonius-wq9vg]

No auto-tuning just raw live voice. Joe is such a vocal beast!

[@jw2933]

I watch this over, and over, and over. It is so good!! Joe has one of the most amazing voices ever. True talent!

[@cullbill]

Joe Pizzulo has one of the best voices in the industry!

[@carmelcream7662]

Very soulful voice.

[@clearwaters9263]

RIP Sergio, thank you for all the beautiful music. I’ve been a fan for over 50 years and I’ll keep listening. Thank you.

[@mickeymet6973]

RIP Mr. Mendez, you made some great music. Thank you!

[@davidflott8330]

Definitely one of the best, yet most underrated voices of all time...Joe Pizzulo 😉

[@dawnbrewer465]

Love this oldie. Still great in 2024!

[@suuzq35]

OMG what a magnificent voice and gorgeous to boot!!! Where was I in 1984? Wish I would of known of him back then. I guess at 18yrs old my mind must have been on other things LOL😮

[@dianakotori]

I was 12 and I could play the whole of "Confetti" 5 times in a row! And I didn't even speak English then.

[@carmelcream7662]

Yeh he is pretty handsome .

[@MrMuzicMaestro]

This has to be one of the best 80's songs ever no question. What a on point voice

[@larryhinze8482]

Nailed it here, too!

[@larryhinze8482]

BEST CHEATING SONG EVER!

[@dennylibertario2246]

I think everyone commenting on here agrees that John Pizzoulo was the secret sauce in addition to the Sergio melody line hooks to making this tune so much fun to listen to. John has a great voice, great inflections, and he sells the emotional element quite well. Did this man have a vocal career of any kind as a solo? I can't believe he couldn't sell some records.

[@darrenshank9170]

Amen Brother... One of the best songs ever written... And the most underrated... Could Not agree more.... Absolutely phenomenal...

[@KennyPetersMusic]

I love reading these replies - they all say exactly what I feel about this song. One of the best songs from that Era and should have been as popular as Toto's "Africa".

[@tamaraclaw]

R.I.P. Sergio Mendes. Love this song

[@alvaroramirez2221]

Magnificent Joe Pizzulo. He gave life to this wonderfull Sergio´s song

[@lcprivatepilot1969]

What a great and talented singer! Greatest summer when this came out!!

[@lucaBackinNature]

RIP sergio mendes. miss you

[@jimmiepage2617]

Should be a crime this only went to #29 on billboard! Great lyrics , production, instrumentals and definitely those vocals are a killer!!! Rip Sergio!!!🕊️🕊️🕊️

[@clearwaters9263]

👍

[@vincev2926]

What control in his voice! Performance is just like the studio recording! 70's & 80's was such a great time for music. I miss it a lot.

[@larryhinze8482]

Sounds like the record!

[@nobodystalkin1]

@@larryhinze8482 indeed, but the vocal changes let’s us know for certain that it’s not a lip sync, unlike the solid gold performance in ‘84

[@MrJacobrabbit]

One of his best songs thanks to Joe Pizzolo excellent vocals and great band

[@MrMuzicMaestro]

Perfect vocal control! Excellent range too, what a fun song!

[@larryhinze8482]

!!!!!

[@sebastianraynor3641]

Thats exactly about the same thing I'm saying just worded a little different

[@claudio67362]

This is the song that shoulda made Sergio 90 millions more.Best 80's song.

[@fakerating]

He has such a great voice, sings perfect on key, great timing and rhythm...

[@danielpalmersofficial]

Now what a song, one of my favourites!! ✌️☺️

[@DCGuy1997]

One of my favorite 80's songs! Sounds like a studio cut but it is live. Amazing talent.

[@MikeRuh01]

Love this song. And Joe's got the perfect voice for it

[@raiderdanCA]

One of the group's great KICK ASS SONGS ... it just EXPLODES !

[@typesfan6590]

I miss the 80’s.

[@nykpax]

Joe, I can't get enough of your voice!

[@pabloarango9572]

I absolutely agree with MrMuzicMaestro... one of the best song of the 80´s. The rhythm is just great! Way to go!

[@BertrumArthur]

They sound amazing live!

[@kensweeney8798]

This song, like so many singles released by Mendes around this time were incredibly complicated both to play and sing and it take s a fantastic singer like Job to bring to the stage.

[@MrMuzicMaestro]

Take me back to when this song came out...perfect music and great time

[@mooseandsquirrel9887]

One of the best songs, ever…….great lyrics, but the music is as good as it will get….!!!!! Enjoy this masterpiece !!!!

[@cristianmolina8637]

Oh man..this sounds exactly like the studio version...unbelievable quality

[@jacole7492]

That is exactly what I was thinking. Just flawless. Did I miss the sax solo? I'm going to have to go back and watch it again because I don't think there was any horn player in this show.

[@58Raini]

Wow! Just WOW! I've always like this song!

[@AlejandroSekai]

🤩🤩🤩 Perfect performance!! One of the best 80's songs 👌😎

[@lokomusic1971]

Joe Pizzulo Is the voice ... What a control!!!

[@MindyTunnell]

RIP, sir.

[@MICHAELWAYNEFOSTER]

Joe-'s talent level: incredible. Fame level: non- existent. This is everything that's wrong with the entertainment industry. True talent is overshadowed by over-produced garbage.

[@sallyoneill8147]

He wasn't good-looking, crazy-looking or weird-looking. Hence, no charisma.

[@MICHAELWAYNEFOSTER]

I guess my question is, did Sergio hire him to sing or be a "frontman." Not being condescending at all, I just know it's Sergio's show so maybe he doesn't want Joe to be too flashy?

[@sallyoneill8147]

That's what I always thought, Joe was there as a hired hand.

[@joelhusbands3838]

Melinda Santa Cruz rubbish

[@tomomilee7585]

@@sallyoneill8147 I have to disagree with you on that one. I think he's a fox! 😍 And of course, extremely talented. I miss the 80's so much!

[@zx4w]

Heard this on 80s on 8 today and the melody sounded familiar...Looked up song and realized it's Sergio Mendes featuring Joe Pizzulo! I use to listen to this on the radio when I was a young kid, 3 years old in 1983.

[@franciscomunoz8266]

Extraordinaria interpretación,excelente,en vivo muy bien,!!!

[@jacobsanpedro3072]

joe pizzulo, que voz excelente cantante a la altura de los mejores de la epoca.

[@Acidbeats9]

Astounding song and one of the greatest vocal performances you will ever hear.

[@321reh]

Awesome Vocals...Thanks Joe!!!! A POWERHOUSE SONG OF THE 80's!!! YOWSA!!!!

[@susancatrell2782]

Wow, what a great singer ♥

[@mooseandsquirrel9887]

This is fantastic……great song.!!!!! The back up singers are magnificent…..!!!!

[@carlitoidalo6195]

Magnificent voice by Joe Pizzulo!

[@smonkey957]

Joe what a voice you are

[@oobrocks]

I heard this a couple days ago & this morning i awoke to it in my head.... Terrific!

[@pandemonet]

David Foster should pick Joe for an album. This guy deserves to be seen and heard more than alot of other singers!

[@Antonius-wq9vg]

Totally agree! This kind of voice deserves more recognition.

[@suuzq35]

Amen to that! What talent!

[@mitch7951]

I’d love to see Chicago pick Joe up as their lead vocalist….

[@ericmelton5559]

Still listening in 2021

[@Momsdailyagenda]

I’ve seen a lot of singers in concert and most of them sound horrible. He sounds AMAZING! What a strong voice! 🥰

[@peterraimondi7835]

This man has an amazing voice.

[@mightytreasure]

I'd eat nails and kiss tammy faye baker to have this guy's voice. What a gift. I have Joe's compilation cd of his Sergio and solo stuff and its as good as advertised> what a great talent. I wish Sergio had about 5 more hits with Joe so he's be remembered in history as the superstar vocalist he is.

[@isabell5190]

I LOVE THIS SONG AND JOE PIZZULO ! 🎵 ❤️

[@crlaw75]

Rest in peace, Sergio.

[@Enid2Sacramento]

Very underrated song. Great vocal!

[@jackiestinsonkelly1645]

I am crazy about this song, I love to hear Sergio sing it, 4-17-18 Alabama,

[@alishataylor6017]

Joe Pizzulo is singing lead

[@mervynsmith4308]

Sergio''s synth solo was a quick blast of musical bliss.

[@carmelcream7662]

The girls singing support this song so well;)

[@debjulmar]

Wish it was 1984 all over again.

[@brianreardon7700]

Well it is ...in some remote parts of the world lol...

[@suuzq35]

Yeah, I wouldn't mind being 18 years old again

[@superprim12]

Love this song.......This is one of those everything came together songs!!

[@edrianmoore5865]

One of the greatest

[@charlesaguilar1708]

A great outstanding song by Sergio Mendez. A good arrangement of chords and rythmn.Did this song at a karaoke bar and got great compliments! Someone told me,"you know? I almost forgot about this song. Thanks for singing it!"

[@joeymyopic]

Charles Aguilar dude if u can do this u must be a helluva singer yourself

[@josephmizzi9895]

What a voice

[@Shane3274]

Good God, what happened to music? Live, instruments--awesome

[@larryhinze8482]

MORE than impressive.

[@ericbgordon1575]

It's got to make a comeback sometime. On my own, I try the best I can not to make recordings with sequencers or auto-tune. I try to do everything with just a click track and using my own talents.

[@abbeykroeter]

One of the best vocalists ever.

[@321reh]

No Kidding!!!

[@alishataylor6017]

I agree 💯%

[@elpajaro21]

GREAT PERFORMANCE HERE.

[@lucasarias8406]

ONE OF THE BEST

[@ardms1]

Love this recording

[@annjacobs1270]

Used to hear this song on the way to work on an AM station a few years back. They quit playing it and the melody was in my head for the last 4 years, but I had the lyrics completely wrong. Heard it tonight and now I know! Great song, never knew it was Sergio Mendez. Completely different from the Brazil 66 days, but both were great!

[@juliosegovia4056]

Extraordinario Joe pizzulo,un monstruo,su valorado soy de 57 años y esta música era genial,vamos los 80 y 90,vamos con todo carajo un saludo a Nancy Jacobson una gringa que debería haber sido mi esposa me la perdí por timido

[@raiderdanCA]

Revisiting ... It goes without saying that JOE just kills it here, ANNND that little SERGIO can ROCK !

[@omaralexanderordonezrodrig3269]

Una de las mejores canciones de los 80s

[@b.mmoraiz]

Great musiciann yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh mendesssssssssssss

[@ivanhorvath]

Giant. Amazing voice!

[@JFJB]

Holy Shit, I forgot that Joe Pizzulo has a GREAT voice. Those high notes are HIGH....

[@RBS_]

...Man, Joe was REALLY gettin' into it at the end! ...It almost looks as if he sung an extra chorus, and forgot to end (4:05) ...THEN, almost did it again, until the abrupt STOP! (4:21) ...damn, I should bought that CD of his, when it was still on Ebay!

[@handyman2183]

Joe’s voice control is incredible. He makes the song and the performance.

[@tintoweno]

No se puede creer lo bien que cantaba Joe en vivo. Lo cierto es que hasta el día de hoy mantiene su voz en perfecta condición (cantante profesional, nada más que agregar). Qué gran banda se armó Sergio Mendes en esa época. Todos músicos de excelencia.

[@MehOMy]

I know it is the resolution, but Joe’s tie looks like it is straight out of an A-Ha video. Btw, this song is amazing and Joe’s voice is like “butta”!

[@takemyshoesoff3350]

Yes! It looks like he doesn't even have a shirt on underneath it. Does he?

[@Atomic.101]

Heard this song on the 80’s on 8 a couple of months ago for the 1st time

This is flawless ........

[@JavierMaurelia]

Guau buenísimo como canta el hombre!!!!😮😮🎉🎉🎉

[@highwaymaintainer]

the dude can sing, kinda like a frankie previte, another great vocalist

[@BBQFanNo1]

How did this song only peak at #29 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 in the Summer 1984? It was way better than others crap that peaked in the Top 10 in July and August 1984.

[@suuzq35]

You are so right!

[@thomasdonohue1833]

Because back then we were inundated with John Cougar and Pat benadryl. A short Hispanic fella playing jazz music didn't fit in

[@MrJacobrabbit]

I apologize for misspelling his name Joe Pizzulo I forgot to mention Serchio awesome musician

[@kenckman1359]

This song came out when my girlfriend at the time was cheating on me. I can still see her face every time I hear this.

[@rosangelabandeira122]

Joe Pizullo tem uma voz lindíssima
