[flame-sky]

Love the guitar part with singing after the split. Man this guy brought it every night

[dwevors]

Elvis and James Brown, the cream of the crop!

at the Opera House i was the second hardest workin' man. Or maybe just the loudest! He played this song like five times. it had just come out. It was beautiful.

One of the greatest things I love about James Brown is his cool ass walk.

[letitiahepburn]

James was my favorite...I wonder did he ever forgive his mom for leaving him when he was a little boy...I hope so....😚😔😪😒😌

[HarlydarvySenior]

@brendanbuyers2009 I agree. You almost never see a him fumble on stage. And it would be my guess after seeing James Brown for a long time that he did the two splits back to because the first was was a little incomplete and he seemed to've lost balance a little bit coming up out of to mention it didn't appear that he went all the way down with it. But immediately after the first split we see him explode into the next split which is just classic.

this is the black elvis presley by far james brown band was always tight and if you were not tight he would get some of your money, love you james brown RIP

[andydesterke]

c'était la belle époque et de super chansons

[jmcdade]

What was this concert for? Looks like a Farm Aid. This looks like around 1985-86 which would make JB 53-54 years old....he was still killing it with the splits and hair

[MisterCrash]

"I" am the M.C. who had the 'honor-and privlige' to introduce James Brown once or twice, "I" cannot remember exactly, know what I mean? Please allow me to introduce the 'new-emcee'! That is Mr. Peter Fonda, movie star, very well renowned, and a 'great-humanitarian'! Thank you, thank you very much!!!

[JbBarnes]

Lol that split had him fucked up!😂 rip JB!

[xplaybwoix]

@HarlydarvySenior

So true..that was eactly how jb thought in my opinion.If he did a move and didn't like the way it came across, even if it looked good to us, he would do it again until it looked right..Another good example is when he did the mike throw and split on I got the Feeling at the bb king concert, he had a face that said ' nah I can do that better' and he did the move again straight after.

[Mondstab]

He was a very bad Husband, but he"s Musik is very great. He is alright the Godfather of Soul

[javonteburris]

JB's hair wasn't up to scale

[HarlydarvySenior]
