In response to some of the old comments... Man, analogue synths were SOO difficult to keep in tune back then! Temperature, humidity, mains voltage sag... Shit, if you even looked at those things in the wrong way they'd throw themselves out of tune just because they felt like it! The fact that the mighty Herb dared to use this experimental stuff in a live performance situation is commendable in itself. I challenge ANY of you to keep an authentic old-skool original retro analogue synth completely in-tune throughout an entire live performance and upload the footage! :-p
A lot of talking heads with little in their ...heads.
Herbie is a legend
Yes. Once you started/ you were "stuck" with the results. There are older TH-cam videos of Chick Corea starting/stopping synth solos because the tuning had drifted since soundcheck !!!###
thank you for your comment
Yes/ they could be perfectly in tune at soundcheck and drift out of tune by showtime.
Wow..... Thanks for this knowledge sharing. These guys were beasts
Make sure you listen to whole thing! The first chorus is way out of tune, and then after the keyboard solo Herbie just DESTROYS the vocoder part on the out-chorus. Instead of playing it like the record, he just GOES for it. Killing.
2023....Still a gem
Herbie is simply a musical genius 👌🏻
I loved the jazz/disco/funk of the "Sunlight" album.
It was received so poorly for some reason by jazz and pop critics alike but I love it so much
Nice to see this video...especially since I'm the lucky owner of that monstrously big Pearl drum kit,given to me by Alphonse Mouzon himself!
I can die happy, never seen this before
Herbie is quite something, man.
One of the best keyboardist ever. My all time favorite. 🎹🎵
Wow !!! His band alone were musical geniuses in their own right!!!!
this is so romantic..
Happy 70th Birthday Herbie Hancock!
One of my favorite songs by Herbie Hancock.❤
holy crap prehistoric keytar that must've weighed like 80lbs !
low down, funky, dirty. Don't you just love it!
THis song is one of the best ever together with "come running to me"!!!
Man The senheiser through a cut minimoog controler Thats Just what I love. Man he's the kindest man. I met him in 1980 at the automatt in san fransisco when my pops group recorded there. I remembered him taking me in the room he recorded there and he had that same set up. Just seeing it on here is a real treat
I know Bennie Maupin is not playing his sax at first but he's participating, give him some love too people.
BRAVO LOVE THAT YOU RECOGNIZED BENNY MAUPIN👏🏽
I love this song (being a jazz piano player). Great Funk/Pop Music. Incredible cool changes!
This is my first time seeing this and I'm smiling. I love Herbie pushing and right at the forefront.
Paul Jackson ....sick
Ray Obiedo (guitar), Paul Jackson (bass, The Headhunter, not the session guitarist), and Alphonze Mouzon (drums) are like a groove machine on this performance!!!! Beautiful!!!
Autotune (Pitch correction) is totally different from a vocoder or a talkbox and doesn't belong in the same sentence.
except for this one
Yes it’s the vocoder that herbie used and it was a sennheiser vsm 201 which herbie had 2 you can see herbie using one in the back vocals.
Oh stop being an idiot; the vocoder is perhaps the most distinct as it produces a sound with no human vox; the other two do and modulate human vocals to an externally-dictated pattern; either live or pre-determined.
This song brings the sun out...especially these days.
oh thanks big time, i always loved this song i feel that i am flying everytime i hear it.
Fuck I wish I lived in this era
I missed out on the golden age and experimental years of the synthesizer by just a handful of years.
Indeed. That would have been nice
Yep. We loved HH in London back in 1979, a big hit.
this one of my fav vids of all time
great stuff!
Can you imagine being given the job of playing dep keys for Herbie while he sang! Talk about nervous!
MARVELOUS !!!
I can't believe I found this
Mems, that's Herbie Hancock and this particular tune (y)
SO AMAZING LIVE ;) LETS GET DOWN PEOPLE, WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO PEACE
Great
a line up of magicians not musicians and a brill track. Wish I was there.
so funky so cool , love it
Love the Alphonse Mouzon & Bill Summers Drum and Percussion Break near the Ending , just before the credits
Great song!!
My man Herbie !!
Great upload! Thanks.
obviously its the recording. the band it's flawless
The main reason I like live music over recored is its not as polished and produced. Iys hard to get a raw edge recording wise. Gotta love Herbie live.
It helps when you have a band like this pushing serious air behind you ❤
I hear ya! But its also great to see a good band in action. Went to see Funkadelic/Parliament last week and they still put everything into it. @@fenderfetish
Just love it....
The Rhodes Solo rocks!!!!
@solesirching73 Yep. auto-tune sucks. In order to use the talkboxes and vocoders you have to know about music (chords, progressions, and that stuff) like Mr. Hancock does!
I love this version better than Sex-o-Sonnique's.
70's was the best ever.
Memories.
...ma come si può resistere ad un sound così...
What a solo!!!
The guitar was a little out of tune the vocorder "singing" sounded fine. What an innovator! He even invented the headset vocorder hooked to his glasses. The Moog has a pitch wheel that can affect exact tuning glissing like a slide on a guitar. I thought he used it well. I love this song.
@IMPOPPAG When talking about the vocoder I do mean that the switch for the VCO is off since he's using a synth for the carrier-input. However when speaking of the synth OFF means "out-of-tune" or "off-pitch", NOT turning a switch "on" or "off". It's two different types of "OFF". Therefore you missed the point.
I thought he was tuned...
lol haha you sir deserve the internet for the day
You win
An amazing tune
Pretty good. Still needs some Kimiko.
herbie daftpunk
Herbie Hancock is Daft Punk's dad ... I thought it was 👗♑❣️
Pirvelad vnaxe amis live da dzaaan mixaria ro shemxvda✨vapren iseti nichieria kvela dzaan mikvarsss aba dzilinebisa🍬
AUTO TUNE is the modern day VOCODER, its all cheating to singing purist, i like em both!!
Don't skip the talk box. Roger Troutman, if you don't already jam it.
Thanks a Million!!! We had a great band indeed! TENACIOUSRECORDS.COMM
@dimitrisdimopoulosan Correct!! It's the synth NOT the vocoder that is "out-of-tune". The synth has the keyboard which can go "out-of-tune". The vocoder has NO keyboard in which to go "out-of-tune". Although this vocoder does have its own internal-oscillator (VCO)...so technically maybe it can go..."out-of-tune". But I'm guessing the synth is at fault here.
@DyvaNaye Its live.....LP ...got that mo fo...amazing!!
alphonse mouzon on drums
if only the vocoder were in tune...
Reconize Bill Summers back there?
the video showed someone playing clave on the downbeat GOD FORBID. thankfully it was out of sync
HERBIE SINGS???
This is the track...nice find poster....cool as fuck !!
Reconize Bill summers back there on the percussion?
Is that Bill Summers on percussion...?
Yes Bill Summers on Percussion and Alphonse Mouzon on Drums
bluesy tune
The boy
😃💚🌸🌱
Is it because of the guitare ?
I feel yes
🤔
Actually the vocoder is fine the synth is out of tune - the synth gives the frequency and the vocoder receives this frequency and the mic signal..
Why is Herbies Keyb/Vocoder so off tune? Flat by so many Hz.
Almost a quarter of a half note.
Its hard to get the same as the studio, Webster is backing with the 2nd Vocorder
i challenge ANY of you to keep an authentic old-skool original retro analogue synth in tune throughout a live performance. upload the footage!
Is Herbie still playing the vocoder on the final synth he plays it on? It looks like a Prophet 5?
Towards the end he changes the carrier synth to prophet 5. It looks like he was using minimoog before the change to the polyphonic prophet towards the end.
@@TalhaVocoding Oh wow, the Moog!
i swear that bassline sounds so familiarr fuckkk, daft punk maybe?
@solesirching73 To me Auto-Tune sounds like someone singing underwater and blowing bubbles!!
At least it's NOT auto-tune - I choose vocoders and talkboxes anytime - auto-tune sucks!
The vocoder and the guitar are OK, it's the way that the clip was recorded. Obviously the recording mike isn't picking up all of the transients and some of the instruments sound a little flat.
Herbie with his cigarette selling tray....
I'm trapper said Hancock
vocoder, not vocorder
Bizarre: je croyais que le Vocoder corrigeait la justesse mais là ce n est pas terrible!!
Just flat enough to make it uncomfortable to listen to, still thats the beauty of live music. Would ather hear bad live than studio. Anyone can sound good in the studio, just listen to the crap thats out today.
@kewanw16 Saw him...
what a kickin' band - shame about the tuning on the vocoder - the guitar is also not the most in tune i ever heard!.........wonder who's on drums
damn - out of tune vocoder - technology sucks LOL
00.24 off his face...
although sunlight is a very good funk album, the next one feets dont fail me now was a disappointment, with herbie going for a vapid disco album. best track is knee deep on that album.
.... even though they are slightly out of tune in this video ... ;o)
vocoder also off tune i fell sory for herbie, he coul sung better without that coder HE IS THE GREATEST
Crap.......How could it be possible??
only herb made it possible
Bohhh off pitch though... Luckily the groove is so strong that it's still great
Could of at least tuned his bloody vocoda first!!!
It was a "Live" Gig. Sometimes in 1979 some synthes have errors. And Herbie works so hard
dude, if you only understood just how difficult it was to keep analogue gear in tune back then...
Definitly the badest music of all time by Herbie...
fuck me, this is outta tune! "even herbie hancock can sing"
- No Herbie, NO!
Felix Xavier old synths were notoriously hard to keep in tune. not really his fault.
Quite true.....all of the early synth artists had issues in the 70s due to the primitive technology compared to today's electronic instruments of the digital era. Keith Emerson, Chick Corea and many others had to pay dues and have stuff not work or play in tune often on the road.....these cats were the pioneers and they had to deal with stuff the average musician/keyboard player will never even know about.
Out of tune he is...
OUT OF TUNE SINGING!!!
