Kool & The Gang - 3. Summer Madness, Live In Pori Jazz 2000

[@thicctony4655]

I swear I find new performances of this classic every day and they keep getting better

[@Scott-G11]

In my opinion, this is one of the best live versions of this song in existence today. Running a very close 2nd, if not just as good is the 1976 version of "Summer Madness" on the Love and Understanding album.

[@thicctony4655]

@@Scott-G11 Absolutely, SM 1976 is without a doubt one of the greatest live performances ever

[@Rob_Dekker]

I'm in the same boat here.

[@longrider50]

Please induct these guys into the music hall of fame. What a wonderfully talented group of musicians.

[@guysmiley3084]

Agreed!!!!!!!

[@aliyahakisss2882]

you heard the man

[@owiz9212]

They should have been inducted 20 years ago!!!

[@yarcfdddf3940]

The one I love most is live at the pori jazz festival my boy max savage put me on to Kool n the gang may he rest n peace

[@Scott-G11]

With over 80 million records sold worldwide they still haven't been inducted into the R&R Hall of Fame as of 2016. How that's even possible to not induct them is beyond me. The only reason I can come up with is the fact that throughout the decades they had many different band members that left. Before most of the key members deaths, only a handful of the original band members were still with the band. But the more I think about my comment, the less likely that opinion seems. I'm guessing they'll be posthumously inducted now any day I hope. Truly some of the best musicians on the planet.

[@robertbright-jc3sd]

Jerry Jordan Sr ANYTHING PLAYED LIVE BY "BERNIE WORRELL" OF FUNKADELIC🎹🎼

[@Scott-G11]

You will not find a better live synthesizer version of this song anywhere on any platform. This is it brother.

[@Basskat100]

Kool and the Gang has always had great musicianship. Back in the early and mid 70's, the original group were very accomplished Jazz musicians. And the kats in this performance are accomplished Jazz musicians. However, the Genre they made many hits off of has been R&B Pop music. But during the 70's they were doing some great Funk music. I really never did care for the Pop style music they did. But they really are great Jazz musicians. Even though they are not acknowledged that way.

[@charlesquintero9168]

Awesome keyboard work

[@mariod5760]

OK, I was 4 when the song was released....and found it like 40 years later....and it is still so awesome! Playing it live, even better...thanks for posting!

[@Scott-G11]

Rusty ? I dont know if that's his nickname, but I've never heard him called Ricky. His real name is "Frank Hamilton" No disrespect intended my friend. 😊

[@orlandowhite5386]

Yes, Rusty is indeed his nickname.

Sennie Martin deserves more credit

[@Scott-G11]

Sennie Martin does deserve more credit in this video anyway, However Skip Martin was very popular and highly respected within the group throughout the years.

[@darthkrator9366]

Why no one does the precious how it originally was made to sound damn

[@yarcfdddf3940]

Kool n the gang summer madness all version I love by ray mcqueen

[@intheshadow1200]

Awesome , pioneers of modern chillout electronic beats music , sea , sun , beach , pool cocktail .... , this one is not bad ...but i prefer the house of blues live version 🔥

[@rhulanifurumele9728]

Frank himilton

[@Rob_Dekker]

I always call him Rusty 😁

[@jeanqster]

Where s the bass guitar solo ?

[@Scott-G11]

There is no Bass solo. The Bass is played by none other than Kool himself. 👍

[@NoelBass-rn7sy]

The guitar solo is what makes the song and they just ignored that. Bummer.

[@phillyjawn.9168]

No this is no comparison to the original

[@doreenevanssaintclaire5855]

Just as bad as ever. I mean goood

[@garyrasmussen2860]

I THINK SOMEONE FUCKED UP BAD WHEN WHOEVER LABELED THE BAND MEMBERS NAMES FOR KOOL AND THE GANG. THE ANNOUNCER AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SONG THEY HAVE LABELED AS RONALD BELL WHEN IN FACT IT IS DENNIS THOMAS.

[@Scott-G11]

No disrespect intended as always. But you made a mistake with that comment. The original introductions are correct.
