Bernard Edwards was already sick with pneumonia before this gig. Nile Rogers said they should cancel the show....but Bernard insisted on going ahead. As you can hear he maintained his taut playing throughout the performance...with one or two gaps when he literally had to be physically supported. He died in his hotel room later that night. Kudos to one of the most legendary bass players ever...R.I.P. Bernard.
This was the last night of his life, in fact: he was discovered in his hotel room by Nile the next morning. Awful to lose him with so much life left to live, but what a way to go out, doing what you love until the very end.
I'm 22 and I'm so angry that I couldn't be in my 20's in that time... Music had it's golden times until 2010. Every kid with a laptop can be a producer now and imo music has lost it's soul after that time. Every instrument is synthesized and you don't have to be a good singer because of all the effects. That makes me angry and sad at the same time...
Eric I hate to disappoint you but this video was made in 1996 so your "now" is 22 years ago so Jill Jones has aged a bit but still super hot (she did a song at Prince's tribute, one of Prince's women but too spunky for Prince). She was in Purple Rain
In 1996 Nile Rodgers was named Japan Tobacco Superproducer of the Year in Japan, and was invited to perform there with Chic in April of that year. Just before the concert at the Budokan Arena in Tokyo, Edwards fell ill, but despite Rodgers' insistence, refused to cancel the gig. He managed to perform but had to be helped at times. At one point, Edwards blacked out for a few seconds before resuming his playing. Rodgers assumed the absence of bass was a deliberate improvisation and did not learn the truth until after the show. After the concert, Nile went to check on Bernard and asked how he was doing, to which he replied "I'm fine, I just need to rest." This was the last time Nile spoke to Bernard.[3] Edwards retired to his hotel room where he was later found dead by Rodgers.[4] The medical examiner determined the cause of death was pneumonia.[5] Edwards' final performance was issued in 1996 as the album Live at the Budokan.
Im a Bass Player, and i cant how mamy times i tell my wife how much i miss Bernard Edwards and his Funky Bass , definitely one of the Greatest of all Time R.I.P BERNARD EDWARDS you ate truly missed.
Edwards, was born in Greenville, North Carolina, and grew up in Brooklyn, New York City, where he met Nile Rodgers in the early 1970s. At the time, Edwards was working at a post office with the mother of Rodgers' girlfriend.[2] The two formed the Big Apple Band (active 1972-1976) and then united with drummer Tony Thompson to eventually form Chic together with singer Norma Jean Wright. With Chic (active 1976-1983), Edwards created era-defining hits such as "Dance, Dance, Dance", "Everybody Dance", "Le Freak", "I Want Your Love" and "Good Times". Edwards also worked with Nile Rodgers to produce and write for other artists, using Chic to perform everything musically and vocally except lead vocals. Those productions with Norma Jean Wright, Sister Sledge, Sheila and B. Devotion, Diana Ross, Johnny Mathis, Debbie Harry and Fonzi Thornton led to more hits such as "Saturday", "He's The Greatest Dancer", "We Are Family", "Spacer", "Upside Down", "I'm Coming Out" and "Backfired". In the song "We Are Family," Kathy Sledge gives Edwards a brief shout-out, singing "Yeah, come on Bernard, play...play your funky bass, boy!". As a lone songwriter/producer, he gave Diana Ross her Top 15 hit, "Telephone" off of her 1985 platinum "Swept Away" album released on RCA and Ross' international label, Capitol-EMI. Edwards released a solo album, "Glad To Be Here" in 1983, and in 1985 he was instrumental in the formation of the supergroup Power Station. The band's first album was produced by Edwards and featured Chic drummer Tony Thompson, and Duran Duran members John and Andy Taylor as well as singer Robert Palmer. Edwards followed this by producing Robert Palmer's hit album Riptide. He continued to produce artists throughout the 1980s and 90s, including Diana Ross, Adam Ant, Rod Stewart, Jody Watley, Grayson Hugh, Air Supply, ABC and Duran Duran. Edwards was the father of multi-platinum record producer Bernard "Focus..." Edwards, Jr. who has produced songs for Jennifer Lopez, Beyoncé, Busta Rhymes, Bishop Lamont, Tony Yayo and more. Edwards teamed up with Nile Rodgers again for the Chic reunion in the early 1990s and released the album Chic-Ism in 1992.
Yes Bernard passed on this day...Rest in Peace my brother....your contribution to this group will never be forgotten.....your skills have taught me to be a better bass player today.....this is one song that made me work....Thank You💯. Chic will always remain in my heart as one of the best bands I have witnessed in my life....Nile...you are fo nominal in everything you have touched👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💯🙌🏽
My favorite video of all time. Play this every morning when I get up and it just lifts my spirits. Everybody in this song is just so spot on in doing their respective jobs. The perfect storm in a musical performance. Niles and company great job.
I like this one above all the other renditions. Nile’s chords in the last minute or so are SO kick ass. And Bernard supports the melody so brilliantly. Can’t help but put a smile on a face.
Chic is one of the 1st reasons why this white guy loves funk and R&B. I was 8 when this came out, and living in an area where I was the only white kid in my area, was influenced early in listening to R&B, funk and rap. This song, and this performance, is the definition of great music, funk & R&B.
I use to DJ in Japan, they loved Chic, I'm way older now but I keep it moving with Chic. Thank you for sharing the greatest music the world has ever seen or heard. Love❤
What a show! Killer groove and that trumpet! Amazing. RIP Bernard. He played this show with a case of pneumonia and tragically passed away the next day
Even though I like my rock and blues, there is nothing wrong with this music. It is great! Nile Rodgers is a real genius and I would like to say R.I.P. Bernard.
He died from an unknown kind of pneumonia. He actually had a temperature of 100+ degree celsius before the concert, but he still continued it because he didn't want to disappoint his fans.
I grew up listening to a.m. radio in the 70s and remember the rise of Chic. God, I remember going into the Discos and trying to dance The Freak when Freak Out was a big hit. I eventually got into rock but this brings back so many memories. Outside the Rock genre, Chic, The Bee Gees, Kool and the Gang and a few others dominated that era. Incredible talent,
It's great that Nile has always kept the memory of Bernard alive. The new single is a tribute to Bernard. Bernard was such a fantastic bass player, very underrated, he made playing look so easy
Everybody thought Bernard used his fingers on bass. See all those picks on the mic stand? He used picks. Every decent engineer/producer prefers the bassist use a pick. It's cleaner, brighter, and the engineers love it because they can add more punch and compression on the final mix. I'm sure Niles expected that too.
In fact, he is known in the bass world, for playing things like the extreme bassline of Everybody Dance, using his hand closed like he is grabbing a pick, but yet he isnt, and you can see it when the camera zooms his right hand. Nothing against a pick, whatever gets your audio right, but in this special case of B. Edwards dont mess it up cause he is like a top class finger player
Joseph Davis there is nothing more to add you put this Amazing and standout band in proper perspective, THEY WILL FOREVER REMAIN ONE OF THE VERY VERY BEST AND TO THOSE WHO HV TRANSITIONED TO ANOTHER LIFE , MAY THEY REST IN ETERNAL PEACE
Truly one of the greats. He’s the reason I started playing. I saw the video of Sting’s first tour after going solo. He was a part of that first band. Very strange video, but his playing is… well, as always, it’s immaculate. I was like ten and totally blown away. Knew it then and there that I wanted to be able to do that. Still can’t with his panache, but it’s certainly been a fun 30 year journey trying.
@@YaleRoth I've had the honor of taking Nile's recording classes at The Center for Media Arts (and also) hanging with him - a couple of times, at clubs in NYC. He is honestly the nicest, most down-to-earth guy ever & the Funkiest guitar player on the planet. Love Nile Rodgers "aka" The Hitmaker !!!
It's amazing how timeless this is. The performance is almost 20 years old, the song almost 40! Sylver owns this song with her raspy and passionate vocals. Good music translates to all demographics and withstands the ever changing music landscape...
What is the lead singers name? Also what is the other girls name? I googled but can't find their names because they look different from the original girls.
Rather eerie to watch this realizing he had only hours left on this earth. None of us know the time when it will be ours to answer. I've followed CHIC from the start and as a bassist and guitarist, I truly admired what these two created. I used to go out and buy clothes similar to their style cause they were so damn classy!!! Bernard's son, producer Bernard Edwards Jr aka FOCUS, is equally talented in his own right!! Music like this lives on throughout time!!!
No Bernard Edwards Did Not Die The Next Day. He Died In His Hotel Room Approximately Six Hours After This Performance...That's Why This Performance Is R&B History...You Are Witnessing A True Legend Performing Until Death... Chic They Are Truly R&B History...
James Davis Bernard passed later that evening from complications of pneumonia---so sad---he gave till his last---and to think I'll miss a gig because I have a migraine!!!
Yeah I lived it. Great times ....Studio 54. Byblos, Max 151, Jackie O's , New York Subway and the godfather of all disco clubs (54 in the East of course) was Osko's (LA) and don't forget Trucadero (SF) , man it was wild.
Bernard Edwards...He's sadly gone in body, but forever a bright bright spirit, and happily in some of the most beautiful music and best bass playing performances of all times.
Words can't explain the 😍 Love I have for this song.... brings tears to my eyes..... Thank you Chic....... Bass outstanding.... (rip) lead 🎸 guitar.... horns, drums vocals -OUTSTANDING! Thank You..... .
This for for me is a truly epic picture of humanity, musical brilliance , beauty, liveliness and heroism here in this brilliant performance. And afterwards, due to our human frailty such abject sadness. Bernard's passing after this show, was a blow to the whole world what a sad loss his passing was .
🗽🇲🇫: Un groupe extra avec une ligne musicale sans égal . Hommage à BERNARD EDWARDS❤ de nous avoir fait cette enchaînement avec son compère, de CHIC ,qui joue seul. 🌹
Respect at this funky -soul stuff.. The golden era of modern music... RIP Bernard, what a smooth player.... And Ms. Logan is one-of-a kind,. What a performance...
I’ve come to the conclusion that Bernard is my favourite bass player
Yep, he’s my favourite bass player also.
He was great - right to the end. Unfortunately he died the same night. RIP
He should been Michael’s bass player on BILLIEJEAN

Legend. If you couldn't get moving back in the day from his basslines, you didn't have a pulse.
Bernard and Tony Thompson were a monster rythym section!!! Omar Hakim was the drummer on this video
Rest easy Bernard and Tony 😔
Amen! If I could play bass, I would want to play the way he did. He was a true master!
This was the last night of his life, in fact: he was discovered in his hotel room by Nile the next morning. Awful to lose him with so much life left to live, but what a way to go out, doing what you love until the very end.
Keep coming back to this video... hard to believe it’s was Bernard’s last show...

Exactly
The women in chic are as super hot now as they were back in 1978! Wow! I love this band!
Eric I hate to disappoint you but this video was made in 1996 so your "now" is 22 years ago so Jill Jones has aged a bit but still super hot (she did a song at Prince's tribute, one of Prince's women but too spunky for Prince). She was in Purple Rain
I usually don't care too much for some of my favorites done live, but this was great!
One of the coolest bassist ever.
I am now 64 years old and there is no such good music from Chic in the new generation. I love this music. Thank you from Chic
62 year old here, I agree...
Now I´m 65 years old and love the music. It s a timeless song.
Shout out to the baby Boomers and the 70's- 80's music era, I'm rolling with you guys!
La cantante che charme, dove è andata a finire?
Check out Dirty loops
The era of proper music. Am honoured to have been born when I was.
Their is none better than the late great Bernard Edwards on bass. RIP Bernard.....you still have no equal.

Amen
@@gregorycampbell9386 either one is fine with me!
@@michaelfuria4257 fair enough lol
Chic deserves to be in the R&R HOF. Without question.
Are they really not already in it?! That’s insane. Just kinda goes to show what a quack organization it is.
@@alexbaum2204It meant something in the beginning. The bands/musicians deserved to be honored such but now it’s become a farce.
CHIC one of the greatest, cleanest, stylish bands of all time. RIP great one you left us with some truly great bass lines.
Pure class act!
So sorry 😞 to hear that...
Edward was ill already but listen, you won't even notice. Impeccable till the end. With such a last performance he ascended to eternal stardom.
The sax player is OUTSTANDING! The entire band is tremendous!
Bill Holloman on sax
The sax player ,play in jamiroquai creo haberlo visto.
Thats right georgeoshust THE ENTIRE BAND WAS AWESOME
You mean George Lucas?
Omar Hakim's drumming is hypnotic in the best possible way. He complements the song so well.
I love Tony, but this concert reminded me once again that Omar is one of the best drummers in the world.
What a solid groove...
Music & Art HS in the 🏠
The Show must go on. Playing bass on stage with pneumonia. Greatness.
Amen!
Bernard`s last hurrah!
He was literally dying and gave it 💯. Legend. Rip.
They tore it up! Keep coming back for this one!
What has happened to music? No performances like this today! RIP Bernard, you laid it down like no other bassist. What a great group!
Which 1 was he? Poor thing..
@@michonbeauty7444 Bass player - Bernard 'nard Edwards.

This performance blows me away everytime!
can you believe I got to learn about this song just last year and it blew me away?
Sylver Logan Sharp is very confident in her showmanship and pulls it off with no problems. Her At Last I am Free performance is sheer genius!!!
She can sing…. Nobody like her except a few singers
She sounded like crap get real
Soundtrack of my fantastic childhood!!!❤❤
My big sister got me hooked on Chic!! Been in love EVER SINCE!!❤
Probably my favorite Chic song - hypnotic.....rhythm is so tight, perfect vocals and the horn/string arrangements are surreal...
Yes. Their best song - by far - IMO. They didn't do it on Tiny Desk, so came here to enjoy it.
SURREAL
ufff! that performance was epic!
So sad these were the last images of the great bassist and composer Bernie Edwards alive...
Epic Performance....❤
the singing is phemonical and the band is tight as you could ever be what a rhythm section!!!
Chic is so great. The music and musicians unbelievable. The joy, the fun and the craftmanship. Chic!

They were so Bad-Ass. Tightest Rhythm Section on the Planet for R&B Music. Nile, Bernard & Tony are the Led Zeppelin of Funk. "Believe That"

Ms. Sylver Logan Sharp is always amazing. Thanks for the disco memories.
Tremendous performance...brings back a lot of memories..nothing like this today.
Great Musical, Powerfull sound👍💃🍀
This for for me is a truly epic picture of humanity, musical brilliance , beauty, liveliness and heroism here in this brilliant performance. And afterwards, due to our human frailty such abject sadness. Bernard's passing after this show, was a blow to the whole world what a sad loss his passing was .
🗽🇲🇫: Un groupe extra avec une ligne musicale sans égal .
Hommage à BERNARD EDWARDS❤ de nous avoir fait cette enchaînement avec son compère, de CHIC ,qui joue seul. 🌹
Watch the shocking ease with which Bernard pumps out that awesome bass line. Stellar performance, never gets old!
