Um grande sucesso na Europa Sergio Mendes e o grupo Brasil 66

[@geoffreylee5199]

This is version 66.2; for reasons known only to himself, Sergio fired everyone on a whim. The three guys and two girls were axed, he had no band, Herb told him to rehire Lani, but Sergio would not rehire Janis. Not as good as the two singers were in different registers and the original pair did. Shortly afterward Lani left and there was version 66.3 who faded away. There was a version 77 and 88, but few remember them. Minimal new music came after that, pity.

[@stevea.7406]

Instrumentally, with just piano, bass, and percussion, they generated a big sound with great energy....vocals speak for themselves.

[@LaDominicana2011]

My mom used to play this song so much that 8 year old me (49 now) could sing every lyric and I don’t even speak Portuguese LOL ❤️

[@benkleschinsky]

What I love about jazz concerts is that the band leader always gets up and introduces the entire band at the end of the show for a round of applause. It's really nice showing appreciation for your band.

[@josephp6432]

What was enjoyable about this performance is that both ladies were let loose, almost vocally competing showing their skillset while within the parameters of the song. So cool to listen too!

[@wesleycarusos8225]

Yes exactly. I wish we had so much more of this.

Totally agree with you. It's a real pleasure to see awesome performances like this one preserved forever on KZbin. Modern miracle of technology and collaboration.

Uuuu,esa canción la escuché desde que estaba en la panza de mi mamá!! Yo nací en 1965 y crecí escuchandola toda mi niñez pero jamás imaginé que lani Hall la cantaba pues ella no es brasileña es gringa pero canta hermoso en portugués y en español!!.años después en mi adolescencia en los 80's era mi cantante favorita y mi canción favorita era: "para vivir así" todo en esta vida se acaba, menos la misericordia de Dios! Saludos desde Acapulco guerrero México!!!

[@stantomas]

drummer here...i love this tune...thank you Sergio and band. i LOVE the band intros....we know what was pure spontaneous and you can see and feel the energy of the band...I would give anything to play this tune , its timeless....and just cool in too many ways. Thank you again!

[@modlula]

The thing I love best about this is that Lani had to learn the song phonetically, but still sounds so authentic.

[@edmaina6035]

Did Karen replace Janis? If she did can you give me the circumstances

Sergio Mendez's worldwide success would not have been possible without the voices of Lani Hall and Karen Philipp. Their magnificent voices had an incredible symbiosity!

[@carmenmanangao5816]

I remember all persons from Brasil 66. I remember when I was children his sister was listen to talk in public. Many times I could see him in your home. He lived with his parents and her sister. It was more than 50 years ago. Whem he could came back with his Brasil 66 Band he showed in Caio Martins Stadium in Niteroi and his sister invited me to see the Band and Sergio Mendes after many time. I couldn' t believe in this moment. I was singing all of songs from Brasil 66. I never see him but his sister I meet here. I feel so much because he leaf together many brasilian' s songers our music, beautifull brasilian music for USA and many countries could be know. love Carminha- I still live in Niteroi. Sergio Mendes was and he is one of most brasilian songers together his band.

Bons tempos, eu tinha 13 anos de idade no Rio e o Sebastião Neto foi a minha inspiração para tocar Bass !!! CLAP!!!!CLAP

[@rubedogg6969]

Always loved this lineup of Brasil 66.

[@2ndEndingVintage]

This is a GREAT bit of footage. So many TV appearances of this song were just lip-synched/dubbed. This is clearly them performing live. Excellent !!!! AND...I never knew Dom Um Romao played in Brasil 66 !!!!!

[@danieldoan1807]

Dom Um Romao was one of the most famous drummers in Brazil in the sixties When moving to the USA, he played, as a drummer, with Sergio Mendes' Bossa Rio sextet and Cannonball Adderley, Tom Jobim and Frank Sinatra (on the Sinatra-Jobim LP). Later he played with Weather Report as a percussionnist , and finally under his own name.

Good to see this. This is an actual live performance. Had the pleasure of meeting Sergio backstage after their performance at the Circle Star Theatre in San Carlos. Sergio was very nice to us and invited us back for the following nights performance. I also met Karen Phillips (she was even more beautiful in real life, I was totally in love). My brother took photos of us with the group members which he still has. Good times.

[@389383]

Fond memories of The Circle Star Theater.

[@edp2260]

The Circle Star! It was a great venue. The 'circle' part is that the stage was round, and in the center of a circle of seats. This made every seat close to the performers. Usually the stage rotated slowly. This also meant that the stars would enter by walking down one of the aisles. That must have been a great show to see Brazil 66 there!

I saw Lani Hall perform a couple of times at a club in the Old Town section of Chicago, Wells St. and North Ave., back around 65, it was hippie town then and you got stoned just by breathing the air around you.
