RIP Wayne, one of the greats.

Just heard Brother Wayne died today. Too sad. What a great man and a great musician. This show is a tribute to his generous spirit. The world is a lesser place with his passing. This band rocks and grooves.

We will ALWAYS have his testimonials! I met him twice... He was so nice and his guitar tech was some how even nicer. Brother Wayne the World won't be the same without your fight!

Brother Wayne never got a Grammy but is more important than 99% of the artists who did...RIP Wayne, long live rock and roll, true artistry and long live the MC5

Rest in Peace Mr. Wayne Kramer, you'll always be a true legend of Rock'n'roll. Your music will not be forgotten

If you're gonna play MC5 music you gotta empty the tank on EVERY song, no holding back, no pissyfootin, you gotta BRING IT! If you're not sweatin at the end, you didnt play it right!

You totally right

quote from the guardian.."Explaining why he was returning, Kramer said: “I think it was time to reignite that spirit of 1968, the spirit of my generation, when we were all young people. I think we’re at a very dangerous time in our history. And I think if we don’t all organise, come together, and step up, we could lose it all. Democracy could go away. The forces that we’re up against are not joking. This is not playtime. This is serious.”

I see democracy as a herald of decay, so this downfall should be (unfortunately) an irreversible process. However, it doesn't mean that we should not kick out the jams!!!

@@andjelkozlotvor decay is a sentimental rendering of cold, hard evolution. We've always had an overlay of oligarchy, tyranny, monarchy, and democracy as a dynamic of social interaction, local or as a nation. Self-determination, as noted in the video, is the ultimate factor of what system emerges at any given time. Kicking out the jams is key.

KEXP sound engineer should be given a saint hood! Again! Always top notch....

RIP Wayne… I wish more people gave Detroit and the outlying suburbs the recognition they deserve for what they and other bands did for punk rock. They laid the asphalt that most musicians walk on today😢

Now that’s what I call a supergroup!

Im usually not for replacement members of great bands, but im really, really blown away. This is spectacular.

R.I.P Wayne Kramer may your music and voice for the people ❤

Saw the MC5 many times at the Grande Ballroom and other venues. They blew every other band off the stage.

Too bad Wayne could not keep this lineup intact. The new 2024 album to come has none of these players. He should kept that singerwho sounds better than the new guy from what I've heard from live clips.

Rest in peace, brother Wayne. I consider myself lucky as I got to see him performing with MC50 in Budapest @a38 ~5 yrs ago, it was a truly inforgettable night (especially because their drummer was Brendan Canty from another all-time fav band of mine, Fugazi... But obviously in the end it was a celebration of MC5, I never thought that I would be able to see any of them). ...and of course we owe another big thanks to KEXP for doing & sharing this absolutely awesome video with MC50, what a remarkable line-up. We fckn love you guys :)

Marcus and his band Zen Guerrilla are amazing! What a lineup.

And that is ladies and gentleman how rock n roll is played!

This is just so heavy and cool. So happy for Wayne. He is an inspiration..............Kim's guitar sound and Wayne's wow!

This is so good it should be illegal.

Later that night at Seattle's Showbox Theater Mark Arm (Mudhoney, Green River, Bloodloss, Mr Epp, Thrown Ups, etc) guest sang "FUTURE/NOW" and Matt Cameron (Soundgarden, Wellwater Conspiracy, Pearl Jam, Skin Yard, etc) doubled up on drums the whole night. Yes, half of Soundgarden played (and Ben Shephard was in the audience). What an insane show from the front row! *fists in the air*

Fascinating to watch this as a Fugazi and MC5 fan. I always knew the former influenced the latter but Brendan's playing here shows the musical link between those essential bands

huge props to the studios. presentation..stereo imaging. EQ capturing lightening in a bottle...like a Molotov cocktail

Great rock n roll is the fountain of youth. Can see it right there.

Holy shit, what a line up!

Just landed here. Wow! Now this is a very super group

MC5 was and still it is a geat band!!!!!!!

Wayne, une énergie qui n'avait d'égale que sa gentillesse, sa générosité, un homme juste extraordinaire.

R.I.P. Wayne, your legend will live forever, thank you for what you taught to us!

Thank You KEXP for this surprise : a true pleasure !!!

Absolutely FANTASTIC.. Play this LOUD !!

I saw them in Chicago in 1970....they were Fantastic!

After listening to the mostly blah stuff from the Grammy's last night, had to refresh my Inner Jukebox. Thank you. This washes video washes away all the tripe from last night.
