Just having D’Angelo and Eric Clapton would’ve been amazing; But, to _also_ have Steve Gadd, Gene Lake, & Don Alias on Percussion, Marcus Miller on Bass, and David Sanborn on Sax… How did the stage not collapse from the weight of all that talent?
whenever the conversation of best live jazz performances comes up, this is the first one I mention. 2024 and I still come back to this! simply amazing.
The best music show ever to air. I would stay up late, late, late to watch it. David Sanborn had a true vision for music TV. Too bad the world didn't catch on. Love Sanborn & Friends.
That slap bas in David Sanborn’s solo is like when you’ve been hammering on a nail for half an hour and finally you hit it perfectly, and then its in that piece of wood, and its so perfect though you never thought you needed it

revisiting this after D'Angelo's Verzuz performance. Can't get enough of my favorite artist covering my favorite Bill Withers tune with a legendary band. This video is priceless.
Wow!!! Then 'I' am SINFULLY BEHIND!!!!! As a loyal, dedicated, LIFELONG FAN of ALL THINGS Jazz / Soul / R&B... HOW could I not discover D'Angelo until 07/22/21??? Its absolutely inexplicable!!! But I will definitely be in D'ANGELO HEAVEN as I catch up!!! God bless the legendary Mr. Bill Withers for this Classic tune. And God bless D'Angelo & the many truly gifted musicians who joined him in this superb performance. 🙏♥️🇺🇲✌
Thanks for sharing this, D'Angelo's Father is a good friend of mine as well as an assistant Pastor of a church I used to attend. You have a great channel here!! FLOYD
IM DIGGIN' IT ALL!!! Then LORD HAVE MERCY... Here it comes! 3:27-3:32. Just five seconds... and I am under a magic spell. Covered in a blanket of chills. Captivated. Consumed. Body... heart... & soul. ♥️
@@saidmuhammadizzat4994 I would guess that that is DeAngelo's drummer. I'd think that D preferred that type of pocket on drums. A little more syncopated and slinky.
This is wonderful. Great song.. my fave version of it is by Esther Phillips. D'Angelo is a modern legend and his presence is sorely missed... I wish he would get his shit together and release that 3rd album already. THE GAME NEEDS YOU D'ANGELO.
brownztone's wife here. why does every thing on youtube become and arguement? d'angelo is the funkiest man alive and the band, of course, is killing... and did i mention d'angelo is easy on the eyes?
This man has a visceral delivery of soul whenever he sits down behind his keys. Not too many people could've pulled this song off, but he definitely could fill Bill's shoes, and make him proud.(Sanborn edge helps as well.)
HELL YEAH D! You straight took ownership of this. Bill has to be either mad hating or hella proud! 4:47 am and I'm jamming like nobody's business! Got my creative juices flowing now...getting ready to play right along with you! *@&#$*₩(€!

Word!!
and Dean Brown on guitar (†)
absurd
@@mikibirtarip man
First saw him with Bob James in Montreux
Respecc
This would have to be considered one of the coolest sets I have ever witnessed, live or televised... PERIOD.
Without question
I concur.
AGREED.
Rest in Power David Sanborn 🕊️🕊️
We miss you, D'Angelo. We need to see more of you on our shows.
RIP David Sanborn :(
This will never be old
whenever the conversation of best live jazz performances comes up, this is the first one I mention. 2024 and I still come back to this! simply amazing.
Jazz?
JAM
Also what a great backup 👌 see Clapton
RIP BILL Withers
Wow! Amazing! One of the funkiest bands assembled EVER! D'Angelo combined with Sanborn is like peanut butter meets jelly!
The best music show ever to air. I would stay up late, late, late to watch it. David Sanborn had a true vision for music TV. Too bad the world didn't catch on. Love Sanborn & Friends.
It must have we've had Jools Holland do the same thing in the UK for at least 20 years, he's a Jazz Pianist and all round legend.
I got to see David Sanborn in a smaller, more intimate auditorium ❤
I took a friend who never heard him. 🎷This lineup is the bomb!
D'Angelo always does a soul cover right. He did the song justice. = )
D doesnt just cover soul, Soul covers him.
Soulful tribute to Bill... and what a backing band!!!
Awesome performance ! Love it !
D' Angelo, Marcus Miller, Steve Gadd, David Sanborn, Eric Clapton !
Who did i miss ?

the groove in this guy's singing is crazy
Thank you for makin' some grown up music. Sanborn and D'Angelo. What a gift.
after 16 years still one of my favorite performances
OH MY DAYS IT DOES NOT GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS!!!!
That slap bas in David Sanborn’s solo is like when you’ve been hammering on a nail for half an hour and finally you hit it perfectly, and then its in that piece of wood, and its so perfect though you never thought you needed it
gotta give marcuz miller his flowers
That bass slapped my face.
how good is this lineup. this is timeless performance that should be archived in the books of music
Apparently there's a laserdisc run of this entire concert, limited release to Japan. I gotta have it!
damn this is like an all-star of musicians
Bloody hell. All-star line-up just sitting back and having a good time. Excellent.
I saw this live,My jaw hit the floor when they played this great tune! i was beggining to think music was dead....
lucky bas........lol
This song is just timeless it will never get old never. Bill withers we love you for writing this great song and singing it.
Holy funk!! What a groove.

Dear TH-cam,
Hey, thanks for finally having a video of D'Angelo with his shirt on. It's about time.
Sincerely,
Male D'Angelo fans.
When you're on stage, unless you surrender to the moment, you're not telling the truth. I look for people that tell me the truth.
David Sanborn
revisiting this after D'Angelo's Verzuz performance. Can't get enough of my favorite artist covering my favorite Bill Withers tune with a legendary band. This video is priceless.
I never heard of D' Angelo until I heard this cut and that was in july of 2013 so yea, I'm a day late and a dollar short.
You've got a lot of catching up to do lol. D'Angelo is amazing
better late than never at all!! Enjoy your journey through his art!
Wow!!! Then 'I' am SINFULLY BEHIND!!!!!
As a loyal, dedicated, LIFELONG FAN of ALL THINGS Jazz / Soul / R&B... HOW could I not discover D'Angelo until 07/22/21??? Its absolutely inexplicable!!! But I will definitely be in D'ANGELO HEAVEN as I catch up!!!
God bless the legendary Mr. Bill Withers for this Classic tune. And God bless D'Angelo & the many truly gifted musicians who joined him in this superb performance. 🙏♥️🇺🇲✌
You got quite some bad cats here gotta love it and in cases like this you gotta love the fact that internet and youtube exists!!

FLOYD
Great stuff! Love how versatile D'Angelo is.
Rest in peace Bill Withers 💔
The face at 2:27 is priceless.
D'Angelo we love you!
That funk HIT him right then!
I love that the casual '...and friends' are some of the greats: Clapton, Sanborn, Gadd.
WOW - seriously funky and soulful. You GO, D'Angelo!!!

you have a band when you put steve gadd on guiro :)
haha amen
Wonder why is he is not on drums
@@saidmuhammadizzat4994
Guiro is his preferred instrument. ;)
And Clapton on rhythm guitar.
@@saidmuhammadizzat4994 I would guess that that is DeAngelo's drummer. I'd think that D preferred that type of pocket on drums. A little more syncopated and slinky.
imagine listening to these guys jam live all night......man that would be unreal, love it~
That's the best thing I've heard in awhile!
Great funk groove on one of the best groovin' songs of all time and it was almost over before I realized that Eric Clapton is in there! Great!
This is wonderful. Great song.. my fave version of it is by Esther Phillips.
D'Angelo is a modern legend and his presence is sorely missed... I wish he would get his shit together and release that 3rd album already. THE GAME NEEDS YOU D'ANGELO.
I almost forgot to listen to this today
BRILLIANT!! D'ANGELO RULESSSSS!!!!
brownztone's wife here.
why does every thing on youtube become and arguement?
d'angelo is the funkiest man alive and the band, of course, is killing... and did i mention d'angelo is easy on the eyes?
this is tight ...excellent

This song should easily get a million viewers. Com'n guys!!!!
Excellent, can't get enough of the miller/clapton/sanborn collaboration
this made all the bad things that happened today go away.
I saw this while channel flipping on new years eve 98 and it blew me away!
Talk about groovin'! so many amazing musicians. I've only seen Clapton and Miller live so far, but would love to see the rest
I cant sit still when I listen to this track!

Day'um! That's funky!

This is just awesome! What a line up!
Wicked version...i love it..
This man has a visceral delivery of soul whenever he sits down behind his keys. Not too many people could've pulled this song off, but he definitely could fill Bill's shoes, and make him proud.(Sanborn edge helps as well.)
Great job on this song !!!!!!!!!!
Sick! Everytime I hear this song, I MUST smile. It ain't gettin better than this sh#t!
