The Brothers Johnson Live in Oakland

[@ianalin4067]

I play guitar and.....George Johnson doesn't quite get the recognition -he- deserves. It's not just about technical ability, it's about legacy. The Brothers Johnson, helped to make 70's funk what it was!

[@ladyvirtue650]

I would be Jammin with the 4 sista's @9:04! It would be so difficult for me to sit down! This was too funky! Sad, sound nd groups are gone forever! Old School Music FOREVER 👏👏💃❤💜Thxs for posting!

[@loylynjoneswalton5666]

My Brother Johnson eight track started dragging and then hung up. I was devastated. So I had screwdriver and pried it apart and took a pair of scissors and spliced it, then I put some scotch tape on both sides of the tape. Then I rolled it forward. It would play but left some the song land of ladies out.. Oh I was disappointed but I still played the h out of it.. 1976-77. College days on the campus of the University of Oklahoma. Lord and Family Affair 1972 Sly and the Family Stone.. There’s a riot going on.. some of the greatest days ever.. LB January 4, 2023 Wednesday…

[@shannonk.6528]

[@haylotroutman5871]

@doralee2407 lovely comment The Brothers Johnson was my whole childhood, and my dad was friends with their families. And thank you for mentioning Eddie Towns as well. A lot of folks don’t even know who he is… I love when people mention him. I still have all his music as well. Very underrated.

[@rpg7719]

They were so talented.

[@Chris-ou6of]

My favorite funk group.

[@edwardmcdanielbiged9035]

One of my favorite songs of all time!

[@sporkfindus4777]

Damn, they really had that Sly and the Family Stone sound, feel, vibe Strawberry Letter 23 🍓 George played that guitar break like a BOSS x2

[@delltellapharoah2378]

Check out the stairsteps Resurrection album... I believe that's where they got there sound from... I mean even George's vocal style

[@EDarylDuff]

Yeah and in my most humble opinion, the crowd didn't appreciate Georges playing as much as they should have. That's a hard lick to play repeatedly as he did.

[@thomasbridges7323]

Ahh man sly and that cut kinda brings family's together for real

[@derricklester826]

I love the sly stone tribute and i wish they would have played Never leave you lonely

[@sunflowerlove6489]

[@marioginolinder9365]

[@waynefoote3781]

[@jpsmith9600]

I remember when I played with them, they put me out the group cause everybody use to scream my name. That was back in the day. I miss singing with Earth Wind and Fire.

Strawberry Letter 13:18

[@gimmeagig]

I'm a bass player and I'm 68 now. I still love the music of the Brothers Johnson. Louis was my hero for a long time. But this here does not even resemble who those guys were in the 70s and 80s. This is so tired sounding. Makes me sad. If they were actors they would be Steven Segal. I know, we all get old and can't stay on top of our game, but these guys aren't even trying.

[@deborahfrey5464]

What year was this concert?

[@deborahfrey5464]

Does anybody know what year this was, that they did the concert outdoors?

[@jpsmith9600]

I don't know why everyone is saying I'm dead, I'm still alive. I just got my own group called " Johnson".

[@davidlees9096]

Family affair sly and the family stone coverd by brother's Jonson

[@kyliejanas6406]

[@Lala-mq3ke]

I'll do 🪙 better after the Brothers took on other occupations in their private lives the Browner Brother I'd ride his Richmond, city 72M ^72P to and from Oakland🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🚍🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
