I saw James Brown at the Apollo Theater in New York in 1962 at the age of 5. Never forgot his performance...and a free live album was given to all!
The hardest working man in show business love the Godfather of Soul
Just the tightest rhythm section ever, watch the drummer he never takes his eyes of JB, keeps time the whole way through. Now that’s the real masterpiece of this amazing performance
YES!!!!! This is my absolute favorite James Brown performance, and I’ve yet to see anyone react to it. The soul, the delivery, the theatrics; you cannot take your eyes off of him!!!
James Brown a true legend!!
The best begging game ❤😂
I saw this at the theatre in the 60's and my introduction to, The Godfather of Soul, we went and bought his album the next day.
Love this performance!!
Craziest act in all of music, the Godfather of Soul. There was nothing like James Brown. He toured constantly. He was in Sacramento every year for ages.
I had the pleasure of seeing James Brown live, but about two decades after this performance. He was still belting it out, dancing like a madman and still falling on his knees. What a showman!
Oh my word.i bet it was glorious
Sure wish I was there at that time ☺️☺️
HELL TO THE YEA
James Brown! James Brown! James Brown!
James Brown was amazing! He had so much influence on rockers that came after him. Much respect. Incidentally, you should look up and listen to Linkin Park's headnod to James Brown on their Mmm Cookies CD- the song is called You Ain't Gotsta.
That performance spooked the Rolling Stones who came out after him. They intended to put on a performance like none other, but after he finished, they realized that wasn't going to happened. So they did the best they could.
The Rolling Stones refused to follow a James Brown performance on TV. They had to be forced, and they were terrified.
Baddest cat of them all, ya'll..
From this type of love to Kevin samuels omg
Known as the "hardest working man in show business". A title rightfully earned. Glad you picked the TAMI show. There are several versions of this on the 'net but the TAMI is by far the best one. BTW, the TAMI was a one off. Not a series, but a special that was one and done.
I saw James in Nashville in the mid sixties...What a showman; by the time the performance was over the place was going wild and James was just a puddle in the middle of the stage!!! Loved this reaction and I love you guys...
True Story: This Tami show had various artists play their sets of songs, and The Rolling Stones INSISTED that they closed out the show. Well, James Brown went on stage second to last; talk about OWNING the whole show! Imagine how inadequate the Stones felt having to go onstage after he flat out burned it!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
How to you TOP "Please PLEASE Me" ? You CAN'T top that ~ Nobody could....
The Rolling Stones said it was the biggest mistake they ever did, following James Brown
Please, Please, Please was the second to last, Night Train was the final song.
@@VinVonVoom Thank you for the correction!
Saw this in person, he had a red sparkle
cape, a blue sparkle cape and white sparkle cape, when he threw off the
white one, you knew that was the end.
The crowd and the energy was electric.
You need to see the entire 15-minute segment in which JB performed in the TAMI Show, which was a movie that came out in either 1964 or 1965. He opened with "Out of Sight" and danced all over the stage before he did "Please, Please, Please." After that song, he went into "Night Train" and led the crowd in chanting "night, night, night" and finished that up with a whole lot of dancing. It's all fantastic. The Rolling Stone came on next in the program and wondered how they could ever top JB's performance.
He put the show, man, and ship in SHOWMANSHIP!
I always loved his showmanship. The bit with the cape, etc is classic!
Now THAT’S performing!!!!
James Brown was incredible. Watch him sing It’s a man’s world in Italy with Pavarotti on TH-cam. Mind-blowing.
He wasn't known as the hardest working man in show business for nothing, he gave his all in every performance, 💯 to tha fullest
Me and my sister use to say please snow cone when we were kids 😅🤣
Fantastic performance and great reaction! My knees hurt.
Check out Night Train by James from this same show! He was just getting warmed up here. He moonwalks on one foot!
th-cam.com/video/JmZk9RLZEn4/w-d-xo.html
So here you are 13 yr old white kid wondering what the heck! What's real and what's show! One thing sure,you kept an eye on JB from then on! Thank you!
This one is crazy but he went even harder on the night train performance from the same TAMI Show
I have to add this! I was 10years old when I saw this performance on tv! I was a white kid who was going crazy when I watched it, and as you can imagine back in those days, my parents thought I was out of my mind! I'm almost 70 years old now, and James Brown is without the best performer I ever saw! However, the Temptations were a close second! My parents (God rest there souls), never did understand my enthusiasm! FYI, I've been playing rock music in bands ever since! Just goes to show, music has no boundaries!
I saw the TAMI show in a movie theater when it came out in 1964 or 5. There were many great performers but I had never seen anything like James Brown's performance here. He made a believer out of me!!!!
Ain't nothing you can say............. JAMES BROWN!!!!
Man! That crowd is going crazy 🤯
"Out of Sight " on that same TAMI SHOW was the best performance on that show in my opinion. You get to see JB dance!
all his performances were great on this but to see him dance yes Out of sight and Night Train was it
Interesting. He danced a lot more during NIGHT TRAIN.
I saw Mr. Brown live about 100 times from 1971 to 2005 and he’s been my favorite performer since 1968. This was his best performance of PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE. Right after this he went into NIGHT TRAIN, which has his best dancing ever captured on film. He was 31 her in 1964.
I remember watching the TAMI show at the movie theatre when I was about 12. OMG! What a show! James Brown, the ultimate showman, Stevie Wonder and Gene Chandler. We were dancing in the aisles.
TAMI was the name of the concert with several performers. TAMI is an acronym for Teen Age Music International. James Brown was the second to the last to perform, followed by The Rolling Stones. I had read somewhere that Mick Jagger had said “How do we follow that guy”. James Brown did several songs and just tore it up!
What a showman! That’s why he is billed as the hardest working man in show business!
NOW go watch The T.A.M.I. Show after this exhausted, emotionally-spent man performs Please Please Please -- and watch what he does to Night Train! (And yes, that's Glen Campbell applauding at the end from the bottom right of the house band.)
MR JAMES BROWN was begging and pending for that woman not to leave him. He drop to his , he didn't care who who around. He just wanted his woman to stay with him!!!
Believe this or NOT... James got this idea of dropping to his knees, walking out and having another person put on the his king robe from the old southern Baptist Church preachers... James embellished further on their ideas and exaggerated them to the point of no return drama and did WELL with it in all his early shows... It was a fantastic "gimmick"🏆👍👍🏆
One of the ONLY artists to ever actually "Bring the House DOWN"...literally!
Glad to see you guys back on. JB was real big in the 60's. How about doing Love is all around by The Troggs.
Only one godfather forever ❤ stilled listening today’s
James.F*cking.Brown.
Enough said.
James Brown was mad during this performance because he thought he should have been the last act to perform but the Rolling Stones was the last act to perform and they couldn't hold a candle to James Brown
🎶🎶🎶A great reaction, and this became my favorite performance by J.B. from the first time I saw it on TV. Thanks for sharing 🖖🏾👊🏾👊🏾🎶🎶🎶 I love his church walk.
J B always gave 110% every time he perform back in the days!!!
JB was the next-to-last act on the show. The Rolling Stones followed and ended the show. They said later they didn't want to go on & follow that act.
james is the BOMB!
James Brown was a musical Genius. The time was right. He knew just what they wanted. And he knew just how to give it to them. Not too much. Just enough to keep them coming back for more.
I was just a young white kid, playing drums and learning more and more everyday. I heard my first James Brown Album when I was about 12. The screams, the grunts, the rhythmic instruments throughout the entire band...... I literally had tears in my eyes. I was just a young white kid, but I got it. I understood it. I craved more of it. My Parents were horrified that I was listening to the screams and such. My friends looked at me like I was crazy. Black folks looked at me with squinted eyes and sideways looks, as if I was making a mistake when I bought his albums. But I didn't care. I got it. I understood and I felt it. Not too many people have touched me musically like James Brown. And he was an American Patriot. Despite some problems he had over the years, he always told people how he loved America and we lived in the greatest country in the world. RIP Brother. I miss the your music.
In the late summer of '68, James Brown & The Famous Flames came to Denver. Now, the ONLY venue that would allow him to perform was the old Paramount Theater, downtown on 16th & Glenarm street. Because of fears of violence , no other place would allow him. Tickets were $5.50, & I bought 2. The girl I was seeing then, broke up with me when I asked her to go with me . THAT's how insulted she was. My friends all bet I'd either get beaten up--------robbed------or killed. I knew different, went by myself., sold the 2nd ticket to a guy who was a student at CU-Boulder, named Dave Carter. I sold it for 5 bucks; he & I went on in, flirted with a couple of high school girls, & had a great time. WAS I the only white guy there ? I'll never know, because i wasn't interested in finding out. -------Once the lights went down, the screaming & cheering began, & for 2 hours non-stop, James & The guys put on an incredible show ! ' Please, Please, Please,", was his encore song. By the time he was done, we were all utterly exhausted, & the very last thing on anyone's mind, was trouble. Dave & I shook hands, said goodbye to the 2 cuties who sat by us, & i walked home. Never a second, of trouble. I of course, knew this. if you act respectfully, & not like a total jerk. respect the women& know your limits with them, there won't be any trouble. it was an incredible night.--------MJL, 76 y/o
Great story
Elvis would watch this iconic footage from the TAMI Show time and time again before he decided to get back onstage, in his own epic 1968 comeback.
Fantastic stuff. JB's performance at Boston Gardens on April 5th, 1968 which was filmed a day after MLK's assassination is even better.
Saw him here in Stockholm, Sweden, in the early 80s and the was OWNING it ❤️
Soul brother #1 the godfather of soul the hardest working man in show biz the show stopper Mr dynamite R.I.P. SIR we miss you and always will❤
Don’t feel bad, I’m 61 and don’t remember the Tami Show lol
Great reaction guys 👍
JAMES BROWN & THE FAMOUS FLAMES.
Not only great music, also one of the best entertainers.. Godfather of Soul. Strong influences to Michael Jackson and Prince.
THE GODFATHER🔥🔥🔥✨💓
OMG I got chills bc we would crowd around the block and white tv to watch him sing please please please on the Ed Sullivan Show! What a preformer ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
James 💜❤️🔥💜❤️🔥💝 is The Showman ! I have loved him since I was a teen, still have my record collection of JB and treasure them ! The reaction of the crowd tells you how much he is loved. You have to watch him dance on the same Tami show ‘Out of Sight’ it is sooo good 😻🇨🇦
The T.A.M.I. Show was filmed at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium on October 28 and 29, 1964. Tickets to the concerts were given away free! James Brown taught Mick Jagger how to dance that night.
Now u know why he's the godfather of soul
That man was the greatest
Mankind couldn't add enough exclamation marks behind the name James Brown when it came to showbiz. This was some straight up "Shakespear." In which no one but only JB could do. As for MJ & Prince, this was basic class JAMES BROWN 101 &102.
All that young people know about today is James Brown and his Funky Band.That’s IT.
But what they are too YOUNG to remember is that James Brown first began his career as a member of a SINGING GROUP. And it was THAT GROUP ( NOT HIS BAND) that were called
THE FAMOUS FLAMES . James had many hit records with THE FAMOUS FLAMES from 1956-1964…and they are performing WITH him on THIS SHOW.
Their NAMES were: BOBBY BYRD (yes, THAT Bobby Byrd) LLOYD STALLWORTH, and BOBBY BENNETT. The FLAMES were NOT just “backups” for Brown…because JAMES BROWN was a Famous Flame TOO !! JAMES BROWN & THE FAMOUS FLAMES were ALL ONE GROUP. The Flames always shared EQUAL BILLING with JAMES on ALL RECORDS and at ALL CONCERT VENUES where they played . The BACKUP MUSICIANS were called The James Brown Band… and THEY were NOT Famous Flames (Despite what you may have heard to the CONTRARY.) THE FAMOUS FLAMES can be heard on such early hits as PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, TRY ME, I’LL GO CRAZY, I DON’T MIND,
BEWILDERED, SHOUT AND SMIMMY , OH BABY DONT YOU WEEP, THINK, THREE HEARTS IN A TANGLE , GOOD GOOD LOVIN’ THIS OLD HEART, and more.
JAMES BROWN was inducted into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986.
THE FAMOUS FLAMES were inducted in 2012. The Hall of Fame later stated that, since JAMES BROWN first began his career as a MEMBER OF THE FAMOUS FLAMES, The Flames SHOULD have been inducted WITH JAMES BROWN back in 1986.
The James Brown Band/JBs were NOMINATED, but NOT INDUCTED, in 2015.
ONE MORE THING:
In the ’50’s and ‘60’s, JAMES BROWN was NOT known as “The Godfather of Soul”. (That was a 70’s/‘80’s thing. ) He was known as….”MISTER DYNAMITE !!”
And don’t forget he performed this song over 300 times per year, dropping on his knees over and over.
I've seen James Brown's live shows many times and he certainly gave you your money's worth.
Pleeeeez have MERCY!
SHAWN AND MEL, please, please, please listen to his song from the 50s, I believe. It's called (Try Me), a great song
The Rolling Stones were the next after this performance, nervous as hell. Thinking how could we ever top that, somebody told them just to do their very best you don´t have to be better than him because nobody can do that.
Keith Richard is on record, as saying that supporting James Brown was the biggest mistake of their career. That says it all.
THE legendary TAMI [ TEEN AGE MUSIC INTERNATIONAL] show, 9/9/& 9/10/1964, at The Old Santa Monica Civic Auditorium. This audience of about 1000 kids, almost all white, had NO idea of what hit them when James Brown & The Famous Flames hit the stage. THIS is song #3 of 4 he did that incredible night. The guys -------almost all white-----were in shock. Most were insecure & fearful of The Godfather of Soul. A very few, & I was one, were standing & cheering. Among the crowd of mostly young girls, the reactions were extreme. Either they sat there, hating every minute, or they were screaming for more, & more. I know all this, because I was there, both nights. JB came out on night 2, 9/10. The performance he put on was exhausting to watch, but I already knew him, because I was the ONLY white kid in Denver, who owned " James Brown At The Apollo " & I heard him regularly on XERV, late at night, with Wolfman Jack. So, I was one of the guys on my feet cheering & marveling at the incredible energy of this man, & The Flames. I wasn't insecure, but I saw the revolution happen in front of me; young white girls screaming for a black guy openly & without shame or fear. That night opened the floodgates, the long overdue floodgates allowing white girls to scream & cry over black guys. I saw it happen there, that night. it was history being made. --------------MJL, 76 y/o
This was done at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium in Oct 1964, He blew everyone away,The Rolling Stones were afraid to go on after him but they did killer too,James later invited Mick Jagger and Keith Richards to the Apollo to see him. 20 years after this in 1984 I went by there at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium thinking wow this happened right here 20 years ago.
Check out James in "Soul Power" clips from the Don King concert in Kinshasa Congo in 1974 for the Ali v Foreman boxing match.
Soul Brother #1
Hey guys, I am feeling amaz8ng. Jus5 a th9ught here, could you react to Honeysuckle Blue by Drivin'and Cryin'? Thanks so much.
In the early 70's James Brown was backed by J.B.s. Musicians like Bootsy Collins, Phelps Collins, Maceo Parker and Fred Wesley. All later known for Parliament Funkadelic
This is a small portion of James performance. If you have the opportunity to watch the full segment,do so.
1st concert at 16. Ice Palace in Las Vegas,1968. Opener was Sam & Dave. James Brown was a phenomenal act!
Brings me back memories when a ex boyfriend who pleaded his love for me 🤭
💩 that was yearsssss ago 😳
Love James Brown use to listen to him in the 70s when my brother would have it loud in a block off units 😎
Australia 💕Christina
JB was, and is the Godfather of soul!
I read that Mitch Ryder imitated James Brown's habit of flinging himself to the floor during performances. Sometime later, he learned James had worn kneepads.
I love James Brown! I saw him in concert in the early 90's! It was awesome! My favorite James Brown - I Feel Good! I grew up listening to him and watching this stuff on television! Don't know if you've done a reaction to Smokey Robinson, but check out this attached video. I'd LOVE to see Mel's reaction to how sexy Smokey was back in the day, and still is today for his age!

This was good but it’s only the one song. The beginning is what made me watch this until my VCR nearly overheated. His feet were a BLUR! You’ve got to find the bevy of his performance
I feel good!😄
Micheal Jackson, Prince got their dance moves and steps from this man James Brown, he did the moonwalk long before Michael.
I remember seeing the T.A.M.I. show (it was a movie) at the old Aurora Drive-In in Seattle when it was first released, still one of my favorite memories. Beach Boys had it in their contract for the show that after the movie made its original rounds their clip would be cut from reruns - - they were about to go into the studio to record Pet Sounds and wanted to distance themselves from surf music
I take offense with the notion that this was his "best" performance. I'm just gonna take away that the person that said it is talking about what he's seen on video.
This is not his "best" performance. He has MANY so saying it's the best is like trying to pick out MJ's "best" performance. Many would argue that the live at the Apollo is best or latter performances. Sooooo many great ones.
You were right. That was a great begging song, but if you want to hear the all time best begging and pleading song. Lenny Williams- Cause i love you. I promise some tears will come to your eyes.
James Brown is that DUDE! I mean damn, he had to be using some aspercreme for them knees.
iv never been to a live music show of any kind but i can't imagine this day and age topping that haha
Loved him..
Freakin fantastic funk !!!
This has to be the greatest live performance of all time
I Saw This in 1964 at the Movies, AND ALREADY KNEW THE MAN COULD BLOW AWAY ANY ACT!!!!!!! I got to see JB LIVE MANY MANY TIMES And Witness his performances With ALL THE BANDS HE ASSEMBLED. WOW!!!!!!!!!!! I SAW Him at the Howard Theater in Washington,DC AND, The Royal Theater in Baltimore,MD. I WOULD Not Trades those Memories for ANYTHING
James can make the Dead get up and move, love James Brown
Man the Godfather has got it all. Nobody equals him.
Greatest James Brown performance ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😊
James Brown was a straight mess and he is my favorite artist in this world!!!!
Glad to see the young giving props to the architects.
