[@ty7504]

Lucky you, dear concert-attender !!!

[@mikec9765]

[@Jaxpapa1]

When jazz meets funk, you get Mr. Hayes every time. RIP

[@SymoneAntoinee]

This gave me chills. Isaac Hayes is simply wonderful. RIP

[@sharonsimmons1325]

Love 💜 this version and no 🌞 shine. Excellent Isaac Hayes Rest in Jesus Much love 💜 always

[@patrickhoulihan7210]

This in my view in this best version of this song ever.recorded. I have had the Wattstax Double LP for many years. It is a fantastic recording.

[@Creative2007100]

Patrick Houlihan I love the Sahara Tahoe version....

[@kpappas5257]

Do the penguin

[@BobNoxios]

Even for a live concert this rendition is tops! Still have the original vinyl I play once in a while.

[@Luevernon]

When music was music. Thanks for posting.

[@katzpheno]

I was just a kid when this version came out... (I had only heard Michael Jackson and Bill Withers recordings), however even though I was a child and knew nothing of the kind of pain/blues Isaac laid down I was moved.... I thought love was only happiness and light until I "felt" the darkness of this track - a most powerful performance indeed!

[@renebarendse2864]

My favorite record and song but that old that it is completely inaudible thanks very much for putting it on KZbin. "No one can honestly say their life is complete without having listened to this!" Agree.

[@sabrinanatalie2778]

I remember growing up my sister had the album of Wattstax man we listened to it over and over. This was a time when Black people really held themselves to a higher accord. I miss those times. Mr. Isac Hayes the consummate musician he was a genius RIP Mr. Isac Hayes.

[@kevinmcbride2474]

As a young man I appreciated this type of music and at 60 years old I'm still love the sound and it sounds even better now

[@motlotlehimolefi5152]

an ex convict friend of mine introduced me to this wonderful record of Isaac heyes..................great music lived back in then olden days indeed, i love the part were he says give me the grooves on the Piano Sydney

[@ty7504]

[@kimberlyanita1006]

Not olden days back in the day!! Git it right young blood ✊👊✌

[@RADIOMASTFM]

One of my best classics....do I need to epeat myself...When music was MUSIC...Black Moses at Wattstax Festival...Q

[@gammer0016]

What does this have to do with a colour of skin?

[@Mr999steven]

Powerful. Found this version several years ago. Listen to this for the first time, and you cannot imagine why it took you so long to find it. Blows you away!

[@1magnificentreg]

"...ain't no sunshine.." and "I" ain't got no words to match this performance!

[@gwendolynsmith6210]

The brilliance of Black Moses, fantastic 🥰🌹

[@jeanphilippeveyrat4969]

Long live the King, bravo mr Hayes. Forever in our hearts.

[@frankjones915]

I remember when my father took 2 the movie 2 see show, man I miss Issac Hays, family and friends please when you find the time out of your busy schedule listen to this it will but you in a different frame of mind ... RIP Mr Issac Hays

[@chriskellison3468]

Saw him live at Sahara Tahoe mind blowing concert. A master at his craft.

[@aleksandartrakic2184]

Muzika za sva vremena,koji glas ima covek,moj favorit od 1970

[@lewiskastel7390]

Damn , 1 am and I'm all funked up! Thank you Mr Hayes

[@jamieburdekin8234]

I think I've listened to this more than any other track, live or otherwise, ever. I know every note of it. If there are better live performances out there, I've never heard them. Still floors me every time.

[@JohnVeitchwobbly58]

I lost my double LP of Watstax and I am overjoyed to have found this here. Thank you for posting something wonderful. Peace

[@benji7587]

A Issac Hayes groove I have never heard before! Thanks for posting!

[@josepaz9864]

En esos años 72-73 , yo contaba con 16 años . No tenia poder adquisitivo para comprar discos. Recuerdo que tenia un grabador a casette Phillips y me la pasaba grabando los programas de Alfredo Escalante, Ivan Loscher y tenia colecciones de casettes de mùsica que no a todo el mundo le agradaba. Esta canciòn la colocaba mucho Ivan Loscher (qepd). Yo vivì los años que me tocaron vivir. Musicalmente fueron incomparables !!

[@titchner211c]

"Shaft" is probably the best arrangement of all time. I mean the entire album. hayes was a genius!!

[@joelsims98]

“Shaft” is Mr. Hayes’ Magnum Opus

[@c-record]

i had never heard this live version before and wow.... this just blew me away!!! no one can honestly say their life is complete without having listened to this!

[@rogermansour993]

FANTASTIC VERSION BY THE GREAT ISAAC HAYES.I WAS IN A BAND CALLED SQUEEZE IN THE EARLY 70S AND WE DID THIS SONG EVANGELIST ROGER MANSOUR FORMER DRUMMER LESLIE WEST MISSIONARY TO HAITI

[@tsonofjohnson489]

Sushi, thank you great music never gets old!

[@oliverbennett7264]

I immediately thought of this when I heard the sad news that Bill Withers had died. It really is a masterpiece of interpretation. The accapella segment at 12.07 is immense

[@fernandocarpena9599]

Gran arreglista y compositor, ya ocupa su lugar en el Olimpo

[@dennissydnor8027]

Just a Master of MUSIC, to such a point that makes one feel something move inside the Solal Plexis, and the heart just has to follow!!! syd

[@yamingbella8698]

Nobody does it better than Ike

[@REDHOTLIPS1951]

I LOVE THIS VERSION, AND ISSAC HAYES!

[@smartalek1]

Bill Withers' "Ain't No Sunshine" is 1 of those classics, like Hoagy Carmichael's "Stardust," Beatles' "Yesterday," Dylan's "Knockin' on Heaven's Door," Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah," that it seems every musician's just gotta cover it. (Maybe it's some rite of passage / hazing; can't be in the union w/o it?) & there r some phenomenal renditions out there. Sting. Lenny Kravitz. A young Michael Jackson (!). Joe Cocker. Isaac Hanson (no joke). But this 1's a world apart. Thanks so much 4 posting it.

[@ms.bonton8387]

I actually attended this 3 day wonderful event and had the time of my life. I had to get a babysitter for my 3 month old son who is now 462yrs old. Good days good memories.

[@ms.bonton8387]

Correction my son is now 46yrs old

[@BobNoxios]

You were so lucky!!! Live! Wish I were there.

[@charlhirschfeld6042]

55 years of listening to music, thousands of recordings. Decided to put my favourites on CDs and found this track to be no.1

[@bobbystewart9671]

Brings back memories.

[@williambethel6999]

Good night and thanks again

[@batimaniac123]

This is the bes version of this famous son ever made

[@lueveniathompson4495]

That's heavy. I. Sure. Wish I had. A. Brother bro. To. Blow. Like. That. Before. I. Leave. This vworld. That's. Far. Out of town music. At the. Finest. Share. The. JOY laughter.

[@waltterry686]

The whole thing is a stone groove, but the middle section is my favorite.

[@QsLIFE1993]

I'm an Issac Hayes fan, but with this one, I had one thought on my mind 'when is it going to end?'

[@jethrojohnson5457]

But that was Isaac Hayes. He could stretch a song into different movements. He also played the sax solos.

[@MBMcDuffie]

@14:40 - the build up of goosebumps. I can ONLY imagine what it was like live and in person

[@gammer0016]

absolutely. Sad thing is, that you wont be allowed to go to this concert, if you aint afroamerican. Sad, but it got much worse after 2000.

[@mayakkad]

I LOVE IT

[@TheAudivisioner]

Check out Isaac Hayes Performance of this song from "Isaac Hayes Live At The Sahara Tahoe".

[@justinpeska4932]

As a saxophone player...YES!

[@MrBossman1953]

[@oldClemCole]

O "Ike" can sure break a song down to the bone.When the tanksgiving turkey is finish we use the leftover bones to make soup &gravy out of it. No wonder they call him CHEF! He sung the stew out of this song.

[@giuseppeliberotti5305]

beautiful!!!

[@roywatley5110]

Oh my God Ain't no sunshine when she is gone

[@truth1disciple]

When a man comes to the realization that he isn"t really all that, no matter how tight you think your "mack game" is, and your whip appeal-you know what I mean is diminishing compared to what it used to be, that special lady who you dogged, played on and with has moved on-reality hits you. Reflect my brothers and you sisters, of all the women and men you've been with, did you really LOVE them or just LUST them. Real genuine, authentic love , that transparent, enduring, overcoming love comes once

[@smartalek180]

No doubt about it, best EVAH!! No disrespect to MJ, Sting, Hanson (yes, really -- a very good one, too), Bill Withers (he did write it!), or any of the other great artists who've covered this over the years -- but this one's the gold standard, the ultimate. Total travesty that it wasn't here at YT for so long. Can't thank u enough for rectifying that, sushi!

[@atlenaaustin5904]

Wow 😲 💞🌅 what a legend rip with your bad self, what a great gift did he have, wowwee

[@macicamerlo1955]

Billy Withers can be really proud

[@rocx3908]
