Yes, indeed!!!

What a treat that was to watch and listen to!!

The whole world needs more of this...

Musicians. Horns. Playing live. Energy. Utterly fantastic! Thanks, Midnight Special!

I'll sign up to any Electric Church with music like this ! Praise the Lord, Halleluia for Billy Preston & Buddy Miles bringing George Harrison's tune to next level! R.I.P. Beautiful Brothers!

Golden age of music

take me to church!

I don't think I've ever seen an audience this enthusiastic. What a performance.

Music brings people together !! It doesn’t matter what color, country, religion - when we enjoy the same music simultaneously it somehow breaks those prejudices, and can even bond you !!! It’s Beautiful

I agree but I took a lot of bullying in the 70s from both sides because I was a white kid who liked R&B, soul and jazz. Billy Preston was my favorite in a handful of bands I grew up with.

May first concert Buddy Miles, Lee Michels, Grass Roots, 1968! Buddy stole the show!😜

THANK YOU MIDNIGHT SPECIAL BILLY PRESTON, BUDDY MILES AND GEORGE HARRISON FOREVER

They took The Midnight Special to church 👏🏾👏🏾Hallelujah Buddy Miles and Billy Preston are my style inspiration in 2024

I'm George Harrison, and I approve this message. 😁

🤭 I LOVE you George, you’ll ALWAYS be, my favorite Beatle!! ❤❤❤

This is what dear George had in mind when he wrote this song...love you George and miss you so much...🇲🇽✌😎

A truly dynamic musical duo!!!

One great song, four great afros!

the way Billy hugged Buddy at the end of that first number... only if you've ever kicked ass live on stage as a musician in a band would you totally understand that moment. When you know you're cookin and the crowd knows it too and lets you know they know it. And then you thank your bandmate for going on that ride with you. Such a great feeling! Great camaraderie.

Jeeeeeeeeeeesus! That totally made my day. I wonder if George ever got to see that!!! He would have loved it I’m sure !!

His enthusiasm is infectious, and that audience is into it! 💃👏 Happy Wednesday... thank you for sharing! 💖

Alleluia!🙌 😅 Buddy and Billy had so much energy that the crowd couldn't let it end! 😄 😍

Golden age!!!! Very very Nice!!!!

If you're not tapping your feet to this, you're dead. Love it!

Two of the Greatest of All Time.❤

That was 🔥🔥

Amazing, so glad to see these two pillars together making glorious music.

I've seen my Lord ~met him back in May. He told me his "new name"... but, he's been assisting me since 2021 with the "hidden manna" ~good times

Perfection. Thanks gentlemen.

Incredible

Billy was the first to release this song. Harrison wrote it but was later sued for plagiarism.

Reminds me of the days when I still had hair :)

Best afros of all time

amazing

Great devotional song to Lord Krishna

Amazin'

People were just cooler back then.

Billy P led the house band in a club called Trip on Sunset back in the day that was downstairs from the Playboy club.

Damn!

DOPE! I always suspected Billy Preston was wearing a wig. Now I know he was because the piano player and drummer are wearing his spares.

This is what it's all about.

You can see where Questlove style comes from.

My exact thoughts from the first notes.

the Holy Spirit is gonna come down and see what's going on in there and touch them

There's a good reason that they call Buddy, "The Concrete Mixer".

Its the guy in the back who is the real drummer.

That drummer is the great Manuel (Manny) Kellough. He played with Billy for more than 20 years.

The date is August 31, not September 31

It’s interesting because they have two percussionists. From bands I’ve seen usually the second drummer maybe plays bongos or something else, just to add some other flavor. I’m not sure what advantage this band gains though. I was thinking about Neal Peart from Rush though, may he Rest in Peace. He was a one-man wrecking crew and could play like two drummers in one band. (Geddy Lee is the same as he plays bass and keyboards, sometimes bass pedals if he’s on keys.)

Rush??? OVERrated by people who never heard anything better, or just didn't get it when they did. Try James Brown, Basementdweller. Obviously Buddy Miles is a guest, and so what they both gain are each other's audiences buying their records and concert tickets (along with lots of extra stage volume and heavy gear for the roadies to lug.)

@@curtisphilumalee1447 QMS also played with 2 drummers occasionally, love them. And can’t forget the glorious, Santana.

Is it 1975?

There's a lot of hair on that stage.

More enjoyable than Harrison’s version.

NaNaNaNaNa Estos weyes estan bien pndjos

This song was buried by the law suit - wouldn't have held any water today, but Harrison lost it.

a bit too schmaltz for me.....peace out y'all after only 30 seconds....

They don’t make them like they used to that’s for sure!
