Southern Nights was such a great LP. This line up really brings this tune new life. Barry Finnerty is a great guitarist.

[@IronMan-tk8uc]

Finnerty is underrated as hell!

Mr Stix Hooper God giving Talent

[@jaycaple6750]

TIMELESS TRACK! KEEP THAT VIBE ALIVE.

[@edennard1]

This is a Great display of keeping it simple and just staying in the pocket ! Notice that Stix Hooper , Eddie Watkins and Joe Sample are just laying it down without stepping on each other and maintaining a Cold Blooded groove. RIP Mr. Sample and thank you for sharing and displaying your musical genius with us for the last 4 decades + and as for me I'll Keep that Same Old Feeling.

[@tiffanydavis6737]

Extremely fortunate to see them perform in Indy during their leg of this tour back in "84.....

[@terryomalley9669]

Doctor garbanzo, That's the year I went to boot camp. I've seen everybody but them. My favorite was weather report at poplar creek music theatre in Hoffman estates.

[@doctorgarbonzo2525]

Truly one of the great Jazz Bands back in the day that made their mark in jazz history! They never truly got all the recognition that they rightfully deserved. RIP Joe & Wilton You guys are insatiable..

[@reginalddavis7578]

I love Stix Hooper’s unusual and elaborate drum kit setup! Not to mention the man can groove like no other!

[@kwabenarasuli8108]

Happy Birthday Stix Hooper!!

[@GregorioLonewolf]

Spending the 70's in my 20's and into my 30's I loved the Crusaders. I always put them into my favorite catagory along with Gino Vanelli, The Brecker Brothers, Return To Forever, Donald Byrd and the Blackbyrds and WAR into my cruisin music in what ever car I had at the time. My 1970 Hemi Challenger, 70 Corvette, 73Corvette, 74 Trans Am or 75 Rallye Sport Camaro. How about Bob James 1, 2 ,3 etc? The Crusaders got me thru many nights on the strip. Thanks for posting.

[@stevenhamroff5261]

Barry finnerty is such a great Guitar Player!!!

[@edgenovese]

Such a Joy to see them many times at the Baked potato in LA. Amazing lock and shades

[@famousfishingcaliforniadelta]

Simply perfection.

[@MrCeasone]

Back 30+ years...Wow!!!!

[@bolt339]

Nice to see #JoeSample in his prime with the rest of the guys!

[@goUnitas19]

[@thatqurl]

One of my favorites..

[@anthonywilliams4100]

Miss them ALL! Wilton, Stix and Joe..

[@SELAHPAUSE]

Barry killed that guitar and wilton was wilt on and Joe did his thing....I think wilton was underrated because of all the great sax players of the 60's, 70's and 80's but to me he was right up there with the rest of them....r.i.p. Joe sample. ...

[@wiltonabdol4556]

RIP Wilton Felder

Pure magic, love the Crusaders. Also love the Side Effect cover. PEACE!

[@aNEMESYS]

Great sound! Hi from Tunis!

[@carolbrown8921]

I call them the crusading Crusaders. This used to be one of my favourites. Brings back some pleasant memories and i am going to keep that same old feeling. Sweet jazz groove!!

[@louistoledo2373]

Just Superb!

[@RixGuitar]

These guys surely know how to keep that groove!

[@stephanieshaffer4131]

Best sounds EVER... they don't play it like this anymore.

[@pascale328]

Brilliant as you say in english! I'm belgian and I known this group for 25 years now, and still love it! Great musicians, thank you jazz!

[@user-ls6ux1bp4l]

SO GOOD

[@mecpex5585]

RIP Crusaders !!!

[@carlosarturo4816]

Stix is the only one left.

[@myhilohi]

all that is missing is Wayne Hnderson's great trombone solo. That was my favorite part of this song!

[@chrisschrecker5497]

Agreed. Wayne’s trombone playing accompanying Wilton is really set this band apart from other jazz bands. These guys went too commercial and were never really the same when he left. Some good songs here and there, but definitely not as unique when Wayne was with them. RIP-Wayne, Wilton and Joe.

[@IronMan-tk8uc]

@@chrisschrecker5497 Wayne leaving was indeed a significant blow for them, but in my opinion they still managed to keep the fire burning until the anthologic Street Life album. Only when the 80s hit that the band started to go down.

[@zebop]

Yep. I always thought that losing Wayne was a big loss but also the sound of Wayne and Wilton together, it’s one of my favorite sounds

[@marvinbell8782]

Marvin Bell: i have ben a Crusader since my teens and iam in my 60s. Keep that same old feeling. I like listening to the Crusaders all the time. I especially like Halucinate song.

[@Ravivharshanee]

Excellent...Finnerty is amazing.

[@charlesbell6693]

So clean!

[@Etten99]

Boy ...This reminds me of waking up back in the day to NYC Radio Jocky Ken "Spider" Webb!! You just can't get music like this anymore!!! Please bring back choice of musical instruments to Public School!!!! It's our loss!!

[@ginacarter7656]

MUSIC AT IT'S BEST!!!!

[@ginacarter7656]

I never commented on this video!

[@meddaugherty2684]

Yes this is the bomb

[@VitalieVataman]

❤️👏🏻

[@SuperTriniDaddy]

This song speaks loudly to the vibe it presents, after hearing it from my childhood, that same old feeling never fades every time I listen to it. It was a little bit emotional for me to be on stage some 15 years later with a band; I played the guitar. We gave the song its due 'musican-ship' it deserves. Don't ......around with that masterpiece if you can't present it the way these artisans do. Starting with the bass, if you don't get that right leave it alone. Thanks 'POPS,' thanks Crusaders; long live Joe via KZbin.

[@jaskowalski8515]

LOVELOVELOVE The Crusaders.
