This performance was so special because they were in New Orleans the mecca of great music. 😊 I have never heard any live performance sound this damn good. The vocals and all the instruments were on point. Horns drums bass guitar lead guitar keyboards and percussion were immaculate. Sound system was the best in the business and the stage setup was top shelf. 😊

RIP Ronald Bell. Your music changed the world!

I think it was truly a blessing to witness this amazing performance. Curtis William's Keytar solo is probably the best I've ever seen. The synchronized dancing is badass, it is impossible to hear this and not want to move. Truly a great era for music!

Kool and the Gang are one of the greatest live bands in history. I also got to see Earth Wind and Fire who were equally as fantastic live. Fantastic musicians, all of them!

Yeah! Band members who sing, dance and play instruments. That's talent!

That keytar solo left me speechless. What an incredible performance.

Seriously out of this world. Wish he kept jamming on that incredible riff a few more times instead of teasing us with it.

These were good times 👍❤️💃💃

It's April 2024 I am a 43 year old white male and I am busting a Grove to this incredible song and band. This song should have been number 1 in 1981.!!! Great music is great music no matter anything else. Everybody enjoy life family friends and great misic because it will pass u by in a heartbeat.

Thank you for the message i loved Kool & the gang 👍🤚

Off the charts!!! Sure,the keyboard solo blew the doors off......but so did the groove,dancing and J.T. Taylor's vocals.

keyboard solo was on another level! holy shit

OMG..that keytar solo is unreal....holy shit..i started sweatin'..WOW!

Thanks mom for owning this vinyl. Total flashbacks to being little dancing my ass off to this in my living room. Yay memories

That is the keyboard solo to end all keyboard solos! Curtis Williams is a legend it gets better and better each time, K&G are legends. No point arguing between Earth Wind & Fire, Gap Band & K&G. They're all funktastic. Just don't make them like that anymore, it's all about the money today...

It was about the money back then but they were better musicians. If you ask me, music has gone out of the window these days.

That keytar went to heaven that night

Being a 60s baby i got to enjoy music at its finest hour. ❤

Keyboard solo on level with Jimi Hendricks guitar solos with the Isley Brothers. Off the charts.

No doubt from 1982 to 1988 they were simply the best band of that era. Always great in any era they performed but they were at their zenith during that period and no artist or group could match them.

Amazing keyboard solo that I want to listen to forever!!! めちゃくちゃカッコいい‼︎

I've been searching for this live performance just to see Curtis Williams solo!!! Amazing

Holy smokes that solo is insane awesome talent right there

Curtis Williams killing it on the keys!

"Get Down On It" was from '81 ... Here, they perform it with an "updated" sound, plus a crew of young break dancers doing their thing in the front ... Hey : 1983, you know ! (Yeah : I know break dance is old-fashioned by now, but back then it THE sh*t !!!)

one of my favorite registers, black and white people from new orleans dancing together enjoying a top quality sound

Epic keytar solo 🤘🏾

How did that Moog not burst into flames? Because that shit was 🔥🔥🔥

they could sing, dance, play some badass tunes...and all this when performing LIVE !

"Ladies and Gentlemen, on Liberator, Curtis Williams", says it all.

My favourite song in the world. Amazing. ❤❤

The Jersey City Dudes.partying in the Big Easy!! Love these guys all my life!! 💘 🎶 💃 👗 👡 🎷 😍 🎥 🎼

So wish I could have been there to see this live!

Best performance that I've ever seen... OMG

one of the greatest videos on YT, almost criminally underviewed

One of the best performances ever. A great song made greater, awesome dancing and choreo and Curtis Williams on Keytar

no AIDS in 1983. Most people couldn't .afford coke People were skinny because they were more active! People actually went outside instead of staring at video games and computers all day. We also danced a lot.

"how ya gonna do if you really don't wanna dance by standin on the wall" These were the days!

One word TALENT

That sick guitar solo - WOW :)

I started trying to learn this keyboard solo in 1985. It’s 2021 and I’m 15 seconds into it.

I love this performance.

The Keytar solo of ALL Keytar Solo Live !

Curt's playing has to be why it's called a liberator. He was a sexy keytar beast!

That is what I call DANCE!! AMAZING ARTISTS!!!

No one makes good music like this no more😏

Those white folks in the audience knew what was up.....nothing like good music uniting people.......peace to all lovers of K&G

JT elevated KOOL and the GANG to a whole new level. Bottom line he is a talent that can't be duplicated. Have you heard how many times he can change his voice according to what song he is singing. I don't have a idol but if I did I would choose him and wish I had all the talent he has.
