Actually, this one sounds even better than the recording - the tempo is sped up in the live performance, which, besides sounding awesome, displays amazing musicianship

AGREED 100%!!

That keytar solo was just amazing

I´ve seen it like 300 times and I can get enough, it´s so good

I love their dance, too!!! JT is definitely the coolest singer of all time for me.

When James J.T. Taylor and Michael Ray performed that acrobatic stunt on the video for this song, it looked like an optical illusion. Now I can see that it was really done and perfectly executed as well and was Curtis Williams awesome on those keyboards or what? Never knew Ronald Bell played keyboards as well. Great stuff. God Bless Kool & the Gang.

I might be white as snow, but my soul just got a whole lot blacker.

This is the best musical performance of all time

This guys can make a damn stone dance, what musical geniuses man, let me pickup my jaw from the floor now thank you.

This beat is so steady and deadly, when you look at the drummer, I instinctively feel like he could lead a fleet of ships into battle.

They do. The bass and lead guitar have to stay up with the drummer

this is definately the best version on the web, synth solo is superb!

Every member of that band is going full force the full time and it's amazing to see I would have loved to be there in the audience!

Sick jam! , can bring a dead person back from the dead!

I long for the day when the keytar becomes a relevant instrument again.

Kool and the gang are a band that no one dislikes. It's impossible not to like them; whoever says they do is lying. Great stuff, JT is a great R&B vocalist...

Real music, real musicians, real good times. This should have been played when Armstrong landed on the moon.

Who knew that Charles Barkley could rock a synth like that.

2:28 that guy with the Bowie haircut is amazed by their flip lol

This is GREAT!!! Has it all great sound, great song, great lead voice by JT and exciting LIVE entertainment. No B.S. no pyrotechnics, No 20 dancers or costume changes. This is what live shows used 2 be bout! Old skool= Best Skool!

these guys killed it!!!!!! That was awesome!!!

that keytar solo fucking SLAYS!!

Just awesome! What superb showmanship and musicianship. What fun!

Man, this is FUNKY!! And some really amazing synthesizer soloing on the Moog! :D These guys truly kicked ass. This is what's missing from current day bands: groove.

Awesome jam. I miss the days when music made you feel good.

I take back all the rude things I've said about the keytar over the years.

I love this band!!!

That time Kool and the Gang brought a 10-piece band to West Germany and burned the studio to the ground. Not many dancers in the audience though. So glad this was recorded in high-quality, thank you to whoever made this gig happen.

I love live performances by old school bands/groups!

this is real funk . Blessed were the days when music was made under passion and not under pressure , urged by a hungry money making demand of a fallen musical market wich produces momentary artists

WHAT A GREAT PERFORMANCE! 😀😀

Send this video into space so any alien life form can appreciate earth's awesomeness.

WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!! MARAVILHOSO!!!!!!!!!! AMO KOOL AND THE GANG!!! SÃO OS MELHORES DE TODOS OS TEMPOS

Can't get enough of this. Always puts me in a good mood. Damn! They left it all on stage with this performance. All hail the keytar.

The reason none of the audience are dancing is because they are just stunned into paralysis by the quality of dance moves displayed from 2:20 onwards.

I LOVE THE KEYTAR in this song. He "gets down on it"

love the way the musicians and the singer don't care a shit if they're sweating or tired but still dancing with all the energy of the world, dame we need that this days

Man this is an awesome song. Although the tempo seems a little faster than normal. But it still sounds awesome.

the most attractive live performance i've ever seen . REALLY LOVE THIS GUYS ♥

JT! Amazing performance!

Love this song! A great way to start the day to get motivated and, well, GET DOWN ON IT!

This is so beautiful!!! This is the reason why I wish I could live in that ERA!!!!

19 people listened to that solo and STILL have their backs up the wall.

They funked and jammed......just love these guys.

Wow...so remember this good old song... :)

Maravilhosos, anos 70, uma das melhores época da música, pra quem viveu sabe!😍🎸👏👏👏

Live in New Orleans is a monster concert. 😊

It's been a while since I've heard this song - love it! Kool and the Gang had so many great hits.

This live version is soooooooooooo awesome

keep coming back to this video because its my favorite version of this this song! The bmps are high and the energy is there can't beat it

What a classy song!

SO STRANGE the way everyone in the crowd is basically just standing there? It's as if they're all wondering if it's all right to dance..Shit people! It's a song CALLING YOU to the dance floor! GET UP AND BOOGIE! I'D BE RAGING!

+chubby 00 OMG - what a stupid statement! What does it mean "you think"? It means you guess, nothing else. I'm a German and I saw Barry White 3 times, Diana Ross 2 times, Stevie Wonder, Kool & the Gang and Earth, Wind & Fire in Munich (Bavaria, Southern Germany). Every time, thousands of fans sang their songs and celebrated them with huge respect and admiration. Stop acting like a brainless racist.

Fantastic ❤

oh yeah! after seeing one of the sickest live performances ever i am just DYING to see a dude play an acoustic cover! no bass, synth, or drums? PERFECT

Singers, dancers, musicians.........live...........now that's talent. I miss those days when you were truly entertained. Nothing today compares with ol' school.

Love this song, love this band. As someone who has sung live with a band this cracks me up - live performances are always sooo fast!! Hahaha... I still love this though. 😊

Sûrement le morceau de funk le plus puissant de tout les temps... 💙

THIS is talent-not that dam rap bullshit of today-THIS is REAL talent!!

I saw the Kool & The Gang show at the Greek Theater in Los Angeles in 1980. It was better than this video shows. Incredible!

"get your back up off the wall...dance c'mon"....real musicians & singers...synthesisor was the beast back then...

so much energy!!! awesome!!

Me.. Being 18 years old now, REALLY wish I could go back in time, to this kind of music's era, when I go to town.. I would ssoooo much rather get my groove on to this.. Than the popular music today like Ke$ha. 5/5 for some legendary music

God damn freaking awesome song! Remember this way way back in the early 80's! Just freakin love Cool and the Gang!

perfeição, melhor banda

The best live funk ever, but the public in show can't be funky so white 😉. And keytar minimoog solo amazing is like analogic blaster shooting rhythm and blues with power. thx

i love how they sound just as good liveee!!! this is where its at!

I LOVE IT I LOVE THEIR PERFORMANCE

Some of the greatest showmanship in this group ever

the sync. solo is fucking amazing, such a melodic harmony

damn nice song.......OLDSCHOOL CLASSIC

Great video. Bring back all memories.

Trumpet guy DEFINITELY gets the salesmanship award. I 100% GUARANTEE that LOVES his job.

yeah. this is oldschool music!!! nothing can be better than this *-*

Cudo's to one of the baddest group of funk masters to grace us their presence and musical harmony and play instruments in the key of " get yo ass up off the floor, dance come on " I've had the wonderful privilege of gowing up to the music they created for us that ever graced the vinyl wheels from Summer Madness & Funky stuff to Joanna & celebration - J.T. Taylor & Co. created a collection of classic examples of the funkiest dance grooves for us to enjoy for ever. Thanks for keeping funk alive people . ✌😎

WOW brings back memories... Best band ever ...

This group is the very best. Every single thing they do is awesone. Harmony, dancing, musicians, SINGING. The best group ever the whole group is sooo talented. And JT .he us my heart throbe. What a voice. The very best. The deserve an academy award. !!!. Bravo . 😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤

There's nothing like the 80's. Dancing fuckin' freakin' unstoppable music!

I can't stop watching this video!

this is the real old school funk people...there will never be music like this no more... matter the fact, that keyboard solo made me hot...

without words! always a delight to hear and see this great group.

Get down on it... I love it!

Wow, I need exatly these overalls for me and my colleagues for theoffice ;-) ! God bless these old stuff! Thanx! I got my back up of the wall!

Folks! This is another song by Cool & The Gang, This is when James " J.T " Taylor was with the group, before he went to solo.Get Down On It!!! Infact, this group has treated us with great music back in the days. Get down, but take it easy { Suave }
