Love I lost weight dancing off that song!!

He had some type of positive feel-good magic. He wasn't just putting on a show he was feeling it down to his soul and sharing it with anyone and everyone, arms wide open with a great big smile. I don't know a great deal of history concerning his life, but I know he's always talked about with high regard and that his music was special. I know it's rock and roll/soul, but I'm pretty sure the prince of darkness wasn't doing this one because It's like he has angel's all around him all the time. The man was a blessing. R.I.P Mr. Pickett at least for a while. We shall see you again.

My Friend Doug loved Wilson so much he just bust into Wilson's intro: this is Wilson Pickett, welcoming all you hippies, yippies and rounders and bounders to San Francisco. " Wilson always been one of my favorite artists. Doug killed himself in the '80s and whenever I hear Wilson, I remember my Friend I have no more. I'm thankful for Wilson's songs bringing back memories.

That's it! Real music! Real emotion! Pickett left too soon, a gifted voice. Just gives me chills down my spine watching him perform. And the audience was great! Pickett might have left us way too soon but real Soul Music never dies. You can't explain Soul Music, you just can feel and celebrate it. I miss those musicians these days very much.

Ok. I'm a 70-year-old white guy who grew up in the 60's, in white suburbia no less, and just not getting R and B. I preferred psychedelia and blowing my mind. Eventually my love of strange and textured sounds led to a love of classical music. Today I stumbled upon Mr Pickett again. I have a confession to make. WTF was I thinking those 50 years ago? Vanilla Fudge and Electric Prunes, their self-indulgent musical excess, have melted into a soup bowl sitting under similar unwashed dishes in my kitchen sink. Wilson Pickett's excess is of a different variety. From the soul and just a f ing gift to everyone. My belated thanks to you, sir.

I was there (Black Star Square) for the 12hrs concert. The crowd was waiting for Wilson Pickett to hit stage; it was total madness when he stepped out in the Black spotted jump suit. Crowd waited too long after Ike-Tina Turner, Santana, Voices of East Harlem etc. There was a THUNDEROUS CHEER to hail the Exciting Pickett that was heard 15miles away early hours of the morning. Picket came in at the Midnight Hour and opened set with same song. I appeared in the SOUL TO SOUL movie welcoming all the artistes at the Accra International Airport. I was with traditional drummers at the opening movie and still have a DVD copy in my collections. Seeing the act on YoutTube now brings back old memories. I later saw Roberta Flack and Picket at concerts in Raleigh, North Carolina circa 1985.

when an entertainer is "in the zone" and the crowd loves him/her they could sling pudding and talk mush and it would be great.. but it takes greatness to make that happen.. and here we are seeing some, from a guy who was one of the monsters of greatness.

Yes.

One of the most amazing tracks I’ve ever listened to

In those days Otis and Pickett were the top, still are!

Wilson Pickett had the tightest band my wife and I ever were blessed to have heard live, bar none. Unbelievably talented man. We miss you.

im a white man who grew up in that time frame. I wont debate James Brown as Godfather of doul. all I will say is that we were so lucky to hear from a bunch of great singers. There is a reason this performer was known as The Wicked Wilson Picktt! This video removes any doubt. love them all!

Love how some random kid can jump on stage and dance right alongside Pickett!!!

this is just GREATNESS! One of the greatest soul singers in front of an all-black audience. And that band can GO!!!! Shake what you brought wit ya!!!

What an event! I get the impression that Wilson Pickett was a successful Baptist Minister for one or two previous lifetimes. Then he petitioned to minister through music, and this is the great result!

Wilson Pickett is my all time favorite soul singer!!!!

Watching this is almost a religious experience. God bless you Wilson Pickett ❤️

Watching those guys dancing at the end, just makes my heart want to burst with joy! I wonder where they all are, now? ❤

he sings a story better than most can sing ... genius

He came go our town in Canada in 1967. Awesome. I'm still doin the Watusi!!

Great footage of the late great Wilson Wicked Pickett!!! Honorable mention for the kick azz band !!!!! Fantastic!!!

We used to dance all of these dances. I teach them to my kids and grandson. This performance gave me chills.

After all these years this song still wants me to get out of my seat and dance!

what an amazing showman he has been. cant get enough out of this man. RIP King!!!!

Wow! That crowd was blown away! Some serious rhythm and a palpable primitive connection taking place. Wilson Picket really seemed like he knew there was something special taking place. He performs with such a raw sincerity, if that makes any sense. A truly natural talent.

Wilson is very remarkable and all his songs are so lovely 💕 my mom and dad used to play his songs every day before there both pay a visit to heaven. Wilson is the greatest of all time I will always play his songs. Have been listening to Wilson's songs since I was born, what about you since when have you been listening to Wilson’s songs?

Fiona Gold - Since I was a little kid…even then, they referred to 50’s and 60’s music as “oldies” (not that I cared about that - timeless is timeless) and Land of 1000 Dances, Mustang Sally and (of course) In The Midnight Hour were staples on both AM and FM radio in the early to mid 70’s up here in the Pacific Northwest.

This is punk rock before punk rock existed. This absolutely slams.

So Much Talent in times of hardship... Today a 25 year old Black don't even know who Wilson Picket is, listening to rap. We Owe Thanks To Are Ancestors Before Us...

That was incredible, I don't believe what I just witnessed. That band was on fire!

That was just heavenly!! The look of europia on the faces in the audience! And even the musicians choreograph themselves. Lord have mercy !! ❣️❣️❣️

Maaan Wilson Pickett was the truth. Old-school was the BEST!!!!

Listened to Mr. Pickett as a boy.... and still do in 9/20...though my legs, shoulders, arms still shake like crazy, but sadden by how fast time passed....lord, show me your power, grant me a reset button so I could right some of my many regrets.....

That incredible voice and those those horns at the end of the song. I love the energy of the crowd!
