Forget Bootsy for five minutes and give it up to Fred Wesley who KILLS on this performance. That man is a giant.

Bootsy and Catfish brought out the best in the other musicians. James for one won't hire slouches, you see how much tiger played, and for you to be with James for a while you gotta be good. This particular band I rate#1 of all James' bands....

Some people don't recognize how special James was vocally

His singing was unique because every since he sang Please, Please, Please, with the cape, he honed the nervous breakdown style of screaming. He really was half actor half singer.

MAN!!!! the band... the band.... THE band.... THE BAND!!!! Bootsy's fingerz! lord lord lord!.. makin that bass sing!!! everybody's jammin like crazy!!.. geez!! and then James is takin it ta church the whole way thru!!.. man i miss funk.. lol and im only 27.. what a trip

Hi, perhaps you could please tell what does Mr. Brown say in minute 1:27 when he turns to the left? it seems to me that he say says somethign like: "_ _ ok". But unfortunately I can't pick it. Thank you in advance.

⁠@@lmqcyb He said "big bouquet" as in "thank you for the big bouquet". It's part of the lyrics of the original version of Sunny. Happy to help by the way.

I've listened to this at least 100 times since I found it a few years ago

James was the master of conveying thought through motion and sound.

Definition of funk= THIS RIGHT HERE

Greatest Sunny performance ever. Oh, and don't forget to listen the marvellous Bootsy Collins bass in the back. What a jam

By far the best rendition of "Sunny" ever....

James Brown was so beyond any ignorance around him, he was on his own planet...! A human cyclone of raw energy....

I said got damn! bootsy between 1.15 - 1.20 make me go berzerk! this is an 18 year old bootsy we see here people... such genuine talent!

1:03 to 1:10 Jabo, Bootsy, and Catfish took over the whole band. 1:08 Look at their heads . 1:10 Then Fred takes off blazing with James' foot work. The band was tighter than white peoples shoe laces.

Up until the 80's, most audiences did not stand up ever. They all sat. Can you imagine seated audiences for some of the greatest artists in rock?

We paid for our seats to watch a performance & be entertained... that's how we oldsters rolled!

The outward pan at the end was a great touch.

Fred Westly should be a bigger music icon. He is in my favorite all-time greats book. Amazing musicians!!!!!

St Kitts Sunny!! BCHadoken all over the island!!🔥💚

Bootsy is KILLING

Just brilliant! Damn this band is FUNKY!

James, you’ve been so sunny... thank you!

With that cool outfit on. He provided James a sound

Fantastic! Next year 1972 Bootsy teamed up with George Clinton on Funkadelic LP " America Eats Its Young". The JB's was a tight band! Excellent video!!

This is Italy - audiences are very appreciative all around the world, but in different ways. Most audiences outside of north America are dead quiet during performances - because they show their respect by intently listening and not distracting from the performance - notice they made noise only 2 times - when James asked for it, saying, "Come on" and at the end of the song. James played all around the world - he knew he was getting love from them!

WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THE AUDIENCE ?????? Poor James, he must have thought he wasn't kicking ass enough....and what a performance....his rendition of Sunny makes my eyes water in the beginning and then takes me on a wild trip....this guy had energy and groove for 10 people.

So True !!! Killa great stuff

Bootsy on Jazz bass!!! OH yeeeeeeeeeeah!

Super !!!!!!!!!

Le meilleur, The Best 👍👍

The baddest performer in the world!

I can only dance like James Brown when I'm drunk. Oh yeah, I only THINK I can dance like James Brown! ;)

Amazing

Fantástico!

"Good God I feel....10.......eeeeIiiiiiii!!!!!!!!!"

Best Sunny from James B. Live. 😳

Unfortunately at that time in Italy the soul music was not very popular (only for the lovers) ... I am Italian and i loooooveeee Soul Music ... especially the sound of JB! .... but I was born in 1978 ... Instead the audience of this concert of 1971 has not fully appreciated .... perhaps for the Italian public the music of James Brown in the 70's was too modern for the Italian musical culture.

Quality 1luv 😎

@zapwatt THANK YOU SIR.

Somethin or somebody took over James brown he was movin faster then a metro express

i was thinking the same thing, dixxjamm....watch the paris performance..it's much, much better

Where can I find this on a audio recording? I've looked in iTunes... Is it on any concert DVD? I'll have to jack it from KZread. This is the most amazing performance I've ever seen!!

James is too funky for those Italians!!!!!!!!

❤️

супер крутой!!!! super cool!!!!

@sanQ That's actually true . . . but only in Europe. I saw the Rolling Stones in Munich in the early 70s. Only the American G.I.s were partying, and the Germans were absolutely appalled that we weren't sitting quietly and clapping politely. On the other hand, I went to my first James Brown show in the late 60s in Buffalo. The audience was almost exclusively black, and we danced like crazy and had a great time! People were trying to jump onto the stage!!!

the Collins boys were still in the group during this time..not tor long

@Passolini3 1. You're kidding, right ? Watch almost any other James Brown concert and tell me that it's the same audience reaction. And for your info, I've been to a James Brown concert in 1991 and I danced my ass off,I danced so hard that I had muscle cramps for 2 days and I shouted so much that my voice was practically gone for 6 hours. I was out of breath for an hour. And I was 18 and in good physical condition.And completely elated and happy for 2 months.And yes there were people....

How can they be sitting down!!!???!!!

Everytime James looks at them I swear they getting fined eventhough they were tight

Enregistrement

Baaaaaaaaaad Man!!!

@xylaphonemaster yep, 18 or 19 yrs old, along with his brotha Catfish on lead.

Has anybody a band or a horn chart for this version?I'm looking for some sheet music for the horns in my band.thanks

bootsy!!!!!

fred wesley is king of the trombone

Fuck ist das cool!

@dixxjamm Italy in 1971? Haha, explains a few things.

@dixxjamm This was in Italy. I'm not italian, but i guess soul music isn't really that popular in that country.

１９７１ＪＢ最強じゃん！✨🤎

the whole band is a freakin funky MACHINE!!! Bootsy, Jabo, and Catfish are raping the hell outta that pocket! its not even funny!.. chillz for dayz man... such a great show, wish i could've exerienced such a spectacle..

@dixxjamm You forgot to put billion after the 10.

That's how they enjoyed music way back when. Ive watched some old performances of the Jackson 5 and the audience just sat and clapped when they ended songs. Of course it was an older whiter audience....lol

Why is the audience stuck damn near catatonic? Is it that good or is it not translating?

Honestly, if James Brown could not dance people would throw him to Sharks for his Song's, they don't make any sense.

Italians are unable to feel the groove and sadly I'm Italian.

@Passolini3 2.....sitting down around me and I couldn't care less. James Brown's music is no opera, who the hell listens to it motionless ? Polite is one thing, DEAD another. Now, I can understand that maybe most of the audience may have not been familiar with JB's music or how to FEEL funk or soul, but my comment was about the absurdity of THAT audience with THAT music.

Sure wish you could get the whole video WITHOUT that lady narrating...

@dixxjamm maybe because majority of the audience is white.
