Right here with you. Drove to my first concert in 1980 at age 16. Mother's Finest was the opening act and absolutely stole the show. I drove to every MF concert possible after that. No matter how far away lol. Been loving their music since I was a kid. Still listening and loving them in 2023. Can't tell you how many times I've been jamming MF and people far away come to me asking who the group is. 45 years playing MF as loud as possible lol. So far...

If Tina Turner and Janus Joplin had a baby her name would be Joyce "Baby" Jean Kennedy. The guys did well here too. I met and watched MF perform in Richmond, VA around 1998 with this same lineup of musicians as in this concert. I had just gotten their album and it was instantly one of my favorites. I saw them in a club in our industrial district across the street from where I worked. It was a fantastic night I will never forget. I got off work at 3:00 pm and saw their tour bus. Inmeaditly, I went over to the club to get my Lady and me some tickets and Bam!!! The band was getting ready for sound check. I got to hang out with some of them. I went to our apartment, got my old Lady, ate, and went to see an awesome band. It was amazing and a blast!!!

I bet I've seen them in concert 2 dozen times over a 35 year period. They still rock just as hard today as they did the first time I saw them. BTW this is actually a medley of tunes but mostly That Same Thing. It's an old Muddy Waters tune.
Fist time I heard of Mothers Finest was December 31st 1980 when they opened for The Rossington Collins Band at the Omni in Atlanta. I’m sure Joyce is one of Dale Krantz Rossingtons’ influences.
BadAss and were always highly underrated....but still rockin it out til this very day..
Holy Crapping Shit!! Those were the days! I partied with this group! WOW! Still awesome after all these years!
Joyce Kennedy not just THE best female hard rock/metal singer of all. (She crushes the likes if Ann Wilson and Benatar and yes I'm a fan of those two ladies) she's simply one of the best hard rock/metal singers period.
Totally agreed, Reginald Selby...throw Tina Turner in there, too! Mother's Finest has been busting speakers in my cars for 33 years...Still one of my favorite bands ever.
Happy Funkin Birthday 'Baby Jean' Joyce Kennedy (75) #MothersFinest
Lovin this Funky Funk!!!
Holy crap! That rocked!
She,s 200% woman awesome i love black women!!

Who are you? I did sound with Mothers for over a hundred shows with Rock-N-Road Audio. My name is Robert Rhodes. One of the best shows I saw at Cooley's was Rory Ghalliger.
Pretty sure this was their performance at the Lochem Festival in 1981, because I was there. An unforgettable day and line-up, with also The Kinks, Slade, The Stray Cats (among others).
"What makes a man go crazy when a woman wears her dress so tight? Well its the same thing that makes a hound dog howl all night!" Sung with soul!
I saw Mother's Finest first in Rockpalast, and latest in a small club in Leverkusen. Joyce Kennedy was about five meters away from me, and she didn't need the mic to be heard. :D
Wish I could do more than one thumbs up! Great clip! no bs rock n roll and great memories!
Hell Yeah Joyce still got the golden smog .
SHE ROCKS!

Actually, they came out of Chicago and migrated to Atlanta. I know, I worked on their sound crew for over 100 shows.
I always get pumpd and get thar mobilin feelin when I get a big dose of The Finest
Outstanding!!!
Great performance and so much vibes, love them since their early times.
"Don't U Wanna Do It To Me"... These days I'm a mid-age man but I'm still in love with her. As I love the whole MF ever since I first saw them live from Rockpalast 1979 (or was it 80?). They are truly one of the absolute best there is in the funk-hardrock-genre - awesome band...
Some badassery right there
God given vocal
Did somebody say AutoTune? Did somebody say Sampling? This is Music 101! : Real Musicians performing using real skills... This ain't no studio shiznit!
Killer vocals!!
I saw m/f with 38special and zz top at sand creek between Montgomery and Troy Alabama in the late 70s.tickets were 26 dollar a piece
Number 1 female vocalist.
POWERFUL SHIT !! DAMN GOOD!!
I know this band until 1981 ! I love their music, especially BabyJane and her fantastic voice.
Just saw them in Macon, GA 3/15/2012 at the Cox, still just a awesome as always!!
You got it Reginald! :) Love Mother's Finest!
Baby Jean has the kickass grit of Etta James which makes her alright with me! Get it, Baby Jean!
