Nothing is cooler than Marvin.

What an incredible performance. Perfect pitch singing, all live, no modern autotune, overdubs, prerecorded backing tracks. Just straight up live talent.

..and only a single clam: the horn note at 4:34 😬(then sheepishly low-vol for the rest of the phrase 🤣)

James Jamerson is the king of bass players.

Man, look at Jamerson layin’ it down. This whole thing 🤯🤯🤯

Marvins music brought the white kids and black kids in high school together back in the early 70s

Right on! So did Stevie and Curtis. Motown and The Funk Brothers brought so much to the table back in the day, along with The Wrecking Crew in LA and The Swampers in Muscle Shoals. Greatness that lasts…

Marvin. What a voice. He had all the gifts. Love the early stuff

A rare look at the great Motown Bass Player James Jamerson doing his thing! Work that Claw James.

The words in this song from 1972 are totally relevant today in 2024. This song ranks in the top 5 of most important songs Berry Gordy did not want to record this song because he thought it was too controversial . Marvin persisted and it remains the classic that it is today. About a year ago CNN actually did a special on the significance of this song. Thanks for your great reaction to this. 👏👏🥰

What a great performance by a ICON he sounded amazing! RIP MG🌹

There should be a symposium on Marvin Gaye and his album What's going on. And it's affect and contribution to American society.

Another American Legend.

Thank GOD for great music. Growing up in the time music made you move.

Marvin: A man for all times.

Wow, I can't say enough about how much I love this amazing Musician❤❤❤

That rare moment when an artist is in a state of grace.....

He captured our hearts, souls, exposed our damages and then told us how to heal! MG your message, vibe and groove will live forever!

I would have sold my soul to have been able to see him live. My favorite artist of all time.

I've often said Marvin''s voice is what I imagine God's voice would sound like if we could imagine Him singing.

Yes, he's at peak power here. Perfection.

talk about in your element! The man was in the zone, pocket... vibing with the cosmos... what a cool, jazzy and still applicable message! Yeah Mr. Gaye, we salute you!

“War is not the answer for only love can conquer hate “ - Marvin Gaye

Hi La and Che … I was lucky to see Marvin in 1974 at the Nassau coliseum in Long Island..I think the Ohio players was the opening act….

... that incredible bass line tho....

OMG you guys....my heart. He was love all the way. God bless thank you for giving us Marvin

So powerful, so healing.

This is an excellent performance It never gets old

🎶 Do it to me one more time🎶 Mom born 1925 liked Marvin 🙏

This is amazing. Marvin’s smooth voice against Jamerson’s jazzy bass line is sublime.

What an incredible talent and album. Love this live version!🎶Marvin Gaye was such a beautiful man both inside and out. His thoughtful, loving messages are just as relevant today as they have ever been. Thanks so much guys for reacting again to this lovely artist! RIP Marvin❤

Unparalleled musical greatness and I cried when he died. He was back on top churning out some incredible vibes and then he was gone. I know how but don’t like thinking about it. Who was better at baby making music? Probably no one.

Such a great song guys! Glad you did a live version. Love the improv on the vocal lines by Marvin. The one consistency is James Jamerson with possibly the best bass line in any song, ever.

Gentlemen ... rare air with brother Marvin--never seen ANY live versions--thank you. Words fail. Che: wrap your words around the chord changes on What's Goin' On--that kind of swirling, circular, uplifting sequence more at the end. Stop making us wait for it. Go to Inner City Blues NEXT ... THAT bassline. The tension of the whole composition. Exquisite. Keep goin guys ...

On my Top 20 list of greatest songs ever written.

Also the Legendary bassist James Jimmerson killing it next to him! Excellent set I’m sure

RIP to a sweet, gentle soul. Vocal perfection-an absolute virtuoso. I wish I could have seen him. If you haven’t heard his Star Spangled Banner at the NBA all-star game, do yourself a favor and check it out.

Such a respectful crowd, letting the Marvin and his group perform without interference or interjections.

Simply one of the great albums crossed all races the mans voice was exemplary and this album ground breaking

Oh my goodness, the bass! Damn. Gorgeous.

Marvin had an amazing talent and is such an amazing part of musical history! This song is central in the American musical scene.

I’d just like to wish AirPlay Beats and all who enjoy the show, a Stupendously Happy Christmas and a Funkin’ Good New Year. Peace and love to all. 💚😁⭐️

Gorgeous and still brings the tears. ❤

I'm flashing back to the late 60's early 70's, crazy time's. His voice is magic.

What more can be said? A perfect performance by Marvin at the top of his game. Jamerson is just on another level. The congas…dayum. The whole band is on point. The song is maybe more relevant today than it was when he performed it back then. That’s sad tho. Thank you.

@@adams565 I think other musicians knew about James Jamerson for a long time. Thankfully, recent documentaries have informed the rest of us so that we started paying more attention to his contribution to Motown hits.

Can't go wrong with live Marvin Gaye.... beautiful performance

Iconic and relevant song from a legendary artist.

Taken from us too soon. I remember I was in college when he died. What a beautiful man. His music will live on into eternity.

That beautiful voice. R.I.P. Marvin

One of the greatest songs ever recorded. There is a version of Marvin Gaye’s original cut of this song called the “Chicago” version; the slight re-production adds an echo effect that just expands the sound; it is ear bliss ❤

Great song and an even greater message. Thanks for the excellent reaction fellas! Appreciate it 🙏 ❤

I’ve been totally enamored with Marvin Gaye since grade school! And yes….the hope of love conquering hate still exists in this old white lady’s heart! 😽🎶

Marvin sounded great, and James Jamerson hanging out right over his shoulder... Awesome. 🖤

Loved this era in music and he sang with such feeling

Should be monuments to him everywhere. Grew up on this song, we had some high expectations, never thought things would be like this all these years later. Wonder what Mr. Gaye would think.

He was spectacular. Wore out his cassettes in my car!

what an exquisite man and performance - such an honest emotional, performance that gives you tingles.

One of the few times that you get to see the artist at his peak perform a song from when it was released with an extra gift of seeing legendary bass master James Jamerson. All that beautiful playing with a single finger and a magic ability. That has to be some of the Motown Funk Brothers up there too. Wow-Weeeeeee

He was always so smooth, I never saw him play the piano before, he was Motown at it's best. Will always be a fan

Marvin on the piano! Drums were his main instrument, but like many back in the day, he was a multi- instrumentalist.

I heard other musicians at Motown say they didn't think Marvin played the drums that well. LOL That's okay. He was so good at so many other things. His piano playing sounded good to me.

This song could have been written today, it’s still so relatable. Marvin was a goat to the music industry 🙌🏻✌🏻🎯

Maaaaannnn….those bruthas in the congas are so damn cool with it. Marvin looks so joyful in this. 🙂🙌

Jamerson, kicking it back there......

Right at Marvin's side. I love that! He's also looking sharp in that suit.

this performance is epic, transcendent. Marvin in his prime, full fledged Funk Brothers, and Jamerson in full flight - not many videos showing the bass king in action. The imagery is a lesson in the American urban experience, much of which remains today

I had a ticket to see him in late 1983 or early 1984, I gave my ticket to my older brother. Months later Marvin was tragically killed.

Marvin is the man!

Such a sad senseless loss to young. One of the smoothest ever...RIP

Just simply the best of all time

Never seen that version, and I love it! This is one of my all time favorite albums, and I'm so glad it got released!

Gorgeous man, amazing voice, fantastic song!

Thank you so much for doing this! I knew you'd love it. It's like an early birthday gift (It's tomorrow! 69 years old.) for me to see you both enjoy this unique and truly beautiful footage of a great man at his best. Not to mention the extraordinary James Jamerson who needs to be praised and his name kept alive as the greatest bassist of all time. I vividly remember when I bought this album when it first came out, put it on my turntable, and listened to the entire record...mesmerized.

I'll never be able to view him as I used to, but he had a great message!

Incomparable. This is so good, it’s bringing tears to my eyes.

Marvin, one and only...... tears

Motown music will always be my favorite music….ever! Marvin was absolutely amazing ❤

Blessed 🙏 to have this as a part of my childhood soundtrack! As always Y'all rock 👍👍 Spread the love 🐶😎🇺🇸

There are volumes of meaning in this song. And Marvin's performance is so natural and open. Great reaction, guys! Thanks for sharing your insights with us.

A group you may not have done, featuring Paul Rogers, vocals and Jimmy Page, guitar, ... The Firm -"Satisfaction Guaranteed" 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Love Marvin

Timeless, relevant... thanks so much, I had never seen this performance before, you both do excellent work!

This what we used to sing about, love and social consciousness how we could make things better in our lives neighborhoods looking out for eachother

Oregon is here for this one.. Thanks guys..Peace on earth for all..

What a great song.
