James Brown may not have been a "perfect" man, but on stage I think it can be argued that there was never a better singer/bandleader/performer. It was all there.
How in the World have I never saw this before? This made my day. Funk will live forever. Bootsy don't get enough credit for changing James style and along with James Bootsy is the father of Funk.
And Bootsy was a kid back then. James youngest band member ever. Yeah, Yeah, Yeah I love Bootsy. What kind of kid tours with the best band of that era.....BOOTSY!
I think George and Bootsy are the funkiest men in the world but James was doing it first. Bootsy also influenced George music to a whole different level. Gorge music changed for the better when Bootsy got on board.
Huey Faggins For sure, James was the OG. But in your original comment you said "along with James, Bootsy is the father of funk" so I just thought Dr. Funkenstein belongs in that sentence as well
But when I listen to Parliament, it's not George, but Bootsy's Space Bass that won't let me keep still. Still, George's production skills can't be overlooked. It's no coincidence that "Freaky Styley" is my favorite RHCP album
He was made for and enjpyed what he was doing. The gift is the gift. I saw him in 1968 and I was only 6. I can still remember that historical show like it was yesterday.
The lady talking in the beginning said: They say James Brown is made up of 3/4 business sense and 1/4 talent .. WTF He was more like 110% talent 80% business sense 100% soul and 500% coolness
Those vamps are killer -- the brief instrumental grooves when Bobby Byrd addresses the audience. More ideas there than you can find in today's Top 40 combined.
Great shot at 8:58 when on James Brown's squeal signal, the band instantly goes into "Ain't It Funky Now" and you can see how Bootsy Collins on bass and his brother Phelps "Catfish" Collins on guitar move in unison to the new groove.
Ci Credo che hai Ballato,impossibile rimanere Fermi,io lo Vidi 13 Anni dopo al Palaverde di Villorba!! Nello stesso mese di Aprile si Esibi a Teatro 10 in Rai presentato da Alberto Lupo!!
Ti devi dire bravo perche io non c ero avendo solo 4 anni ma nel video non vedo quasi nessuno ballare come si dovrebbe con quel funky indiavolato ! Quando e' arrivato il mio turno d vederlo ,anni piu tardi ,quasi ci lascio le penne .....avrei dovuto portarmi una bomboletta d ossigeno !
09:00 that change into "ain't it funky now" is so great, then at 09:39 we get a fantastic solo from Phelps 'catfish' Collins (Bootsy's brother) followed by a terrific solo from Fred Wesley (10:54)... I'm speechless.. JB is so great
At 19:50 : BOBBY BYRD: The man who DISCOVERED James Brown, and also discovered The JB'S . He was also he founder of the group that first gave the world JAMES BROWN ....THE legendary Rock and Roll Hall of Fame-Inducted vocal group ****THE FAMOUS FLAMES****

this was the perfect james brown, with the collins brothers, and bobby byrd that makes the perfect counterpart to james, , you can see the difference with the late james brown.
saw james when he was 60; full split w/ mic stand upside down on stage edge, to a full stand w/ the mic in his hand, wailing, the MAN DID IT TWICE LOL AMAZING show, nothing like him before or after THANKS JAMES
Wow thanks for this!!!! For anyone intersted this set is basically the same as their Paris gig ,guess part of the same tour. That Paris live set is the Love Power and Peace Album released a few years ago.
I love the moment where JB is calling for Catfish and he doesn’t hear him and says. “come on Phelps” “Hit me” then Bootsy has to yell “Phelps!” And then Catfish unleashed a fire ass solo 34:30
Awesome video , James Brown at his prime with one of his best bands the Collins Bro's,Bootsy and Phelps, Fred Wesley, Bobby Bryd . Thanks for posting .
Avevo appena un anno allora! Appena 18 anni dopo ci andavo vivere a Bologna e lì ho passato i migliori anni facendomi un sacco di canne e ascoltando il mitico James!
I live half mile from that venue,it is still there today,i was 3 years old back then,my mom and her brother were there,both are passed away,it must have been a wild night,my uncle saw Jimi Hendrix as well in that very same place,years later he told me both shows were great,miss those times ,thanks for uploading!
Bobby Byrd came from a musical family! He and his brother did well as did Bootsy Collins in the 70's! But only through the exposure and experience of James Brown!
Everytime I watch this, I can't wait to hear young Bootsy destroy that bass! When he's playin Sunny! I just crack UP! That band that band that band.. Everybody was just killing it!
The Collins and the JBs where funky early! All people loved James Brown! How many black people had a show on TV in the 50s?He broke barriers and changed the very course of music in America as well as abroad!
James sang Sunny on here. Elsewhere he snag If I Ruled the World, That's Life which are slower songs he did great on. James was underrated as a ballad singer.
key pieces of the "PFUNK DYNASTY"...Bootzilla, Catfish Collins on guitar and Frankie "Kash" Waddy on drums...this was when the "ONE" was defined. Too FUNKY!
At exactly @8:59 of this video Catfish goes into a human metronome on that axe at that point. Bootsy goes into a groove on that bass then Clyde "The Funky Drummer" ...can't nobody GROOVE like that. Man I love TH-cam for allowing the past become present
the hardest working man in show business. caught his shows in the 60´s,70´s,80´s. once at a record sighimg. me, my 2yr. old daughter, my 8yr. old son, and his new album in hand, in line for a autograph. when it was our turn, i froze and was speechless. he says´´wher da bab shu aa´´ i just stood there, mouth open, trying to talk. again he says´´wher da bab shu aa´´! my son, seeing me in trouble looks at me, james, then my daughter. hollers out´´he saying wheres the baby shoe at´´? true story...
It's kinda funny feeling when I see Byrd was emceeing and introducing JB in such a passionate way. I mean, Byrd himself was the one who provided "the first big help" in JB's musical career. He was a real pro without any ego-nonsense... RIP Bobby Byrd & James Brown
I think it comes down to entitlement. Entitled people tend not to enjoy what's right in front of them in that moment, and are constantly thinking about what they want in the future. Instant gratification and all that. The typical entitled white Americans (and yes, I am one of them, I just realize how boring and "unfunky", as George Clinton would say, we can be) tend to be the ones demanding that the band play that one hit song that the radio overplays, and get angry and can't enjoy themselves until the band plays it. Those who aren't entitled enjoy all of the grooves for what they are, enjoy the moment for what it is, and overall have a better time and dance more. If you watch an old parliament/funkadelic concert in LA, Oakland or dc and compare it to some of their concerts in rural/suburban America, it's night and day when it comes to the crowd energy.
Right when James sings his last note on "Sunny" and does that final scream, the camera pans out so perfect lol you couldn't have planned that right there man.
Man, how amazing this is ! As far as stage entertaining is concerned, this guy had it all : the voice, the moves, the energy, the passion, the emotion, and what an awesome band ! I had chills when I heard their rendition of Sunny at 12:20 What an incredible performance. I will credit your video and post a small clip on my own channel for my suscribers to enjoy ! Thanks so much for uploading this...Pure gold !
Young Bootsy smashing those fast tempo busy basslines, DAMN! The audience only just givin' up the funk at the end of the performance. I'd be givin' it up from the first hit!
Agreed soul is good power to attain its major in the decent. Peace loving humanities on the world I hope soul power song grows as it was good soul imparted which created us all! Thx JB sing it!
James had a habit of changing drummers at any time check it out at 31:37 and you'll see James motion to switch drum players!! Now that's tighter than a virgin!!!
There will never be another band like the J. B's or the one of a kind master himself, James Brown. Any others will be imitators of the originals.
There will Never be another Entertainers like “James’s Brown” Mr. Dynamite King James 👑
James Brown may not have been a "perfect" man, but on stage I think it can be argued that there was never a better singer/bandleader/performer. It was all there.
"God Bless You". I couldn't had said It Better!
JB live at The Olympia. One of the best ever.

Marko Barrows TRUE THAT MY FRIEND....WE ALL HAVE GOOD HEARTS N THEN THERE'S THAT 1 PERSON THAT BRINGS OUT THE BEZTIA N ALL OF US 👐👐👐👐
YES INDEED MARKE
Bootsy was lightning. James Brown and a legendary band.
James Brown is the hardest working entertainer in the business R I P J /B
The Band musicianship is absolutely MasterFul . James Brown and Bobby Bryd are Superb.
This performance is my favorite. The band is just ridiculously out of this world. James Brown was a genius.
How in the World have I never saw this before? This made my day. Funk will live forever. Bootsy don't get enough credit for changing James style and along with James Bootsy is the father of Funk.
And Bootsy was a kid back then. James youngest band member ever. Yeah, Yeah, Yeah I love Bootsy. What kind of kid tours with the best band of that era.....BOOTSY!
What about George Clinton? Funkadelic's first album was 1970. And that ish was raw, uncut funk
I think George and Bootsy are the funkiest men in the world but James was doing it first. Bootsy also influenced George music to a whole different level. Gorge music changed for the better when Bootsy got on board.
Huey Faggins For sure, James was the OG. But in your original comment you said "along with James, Bootsy is the father of funk" so I just thought Dr. Funkenstein belongs in that sentence as well

He was made for and enjpyed what he was doing. The gift is the gift. I saw him in 1968 and I was only 6. I can still remember that historical show like it was yesterday.
I saw James perform in Frankfurt, Germany a year or 2 after this concert. He was electric!
A master at work! Butane James was and will always be the king!
The lady talking in the beginning said:
They say James Brown is made up of 3/4 business sense and 1/4 talent ..
WTF
He was more like 110% talent 80% business sense 100% soul and 500% coolness
Yah
14:29 Bootsy KILLED IT! Very impressed and to be only 18...
19
Those vamps are killer -- the brief instrumental grooves when Bobby Byrd addresses the audience. More ideas there than you can find in today's Top 40 combined.
Facts 💯
Best music to make me move. What a god!
I love the way the band looks at him, right when he's dancing and in his mode lols and plays right to his movements too!
I won't let up and du. My hair du two
Qtiputamagala Larry GRAHAM!!!!!!!!!!!
JB was conducting his orchestra with flair and intensity.
Thank you so much.
This one should be in the running for best videotaped performance ever.
Bobby was funky. Him and james were like hand and glove.
James drove his band hard and they played hard. What a great performer James was and what a great band he had. Thank you for sharing.
That's actually why I prefer Wilson Pickett over JB. The Pickett was not a martinet and the band could match the JBs hands down
I missed this concert by a measly 4 months :) Am i the only one who cant keep his eyes off Bootsy? Awesome upload!
Bootsy is killing on the bass.
I wish I could of seen him live .. But that was way before my time.. Im a fan of him even tho IM in my 30s I loved his music
Indimenticabile ritmica e movenze da vertigini con un finale da brividi. James Brown immenso
Great shot at 8:58 when on James Brown's squeal signal, the band instantly goes into "Ain't It Funky Now" and you can see how Bootsy Collins on bass and his brother Phelps "Catfish" Collins on guitar move in unison to the new groove.
Indimenticabile!

ขอบคุณคลิปดีๆ และมีเพลงมันๆ ขอบคุณครับผม
かっこいい ＞＜！！若かりし頃のJBを生で見たかった。貴重な映像をありがとう！
That night I was in Palasport in Bologna, as a young student I enjoyed very much the show!
saw james when he was 60; full split w/ mic stand upside down on stage edge, to a full stand w/ the mic in his hand, wailing, the MAN DID IT TWICE LOL AMAZING show, nothing like him before or after THANKS JAMES
They absolutely kill it.
Wow! Do your thing, Baby Bootsy! Y'all rocked the Italians!
..that should have been posted, 'do your thang'
Wow thanks for this!!!! For anyone intersted this set is basically the same as their Paris gig ,guess part of the same tour. That Paris live set is the Love Power and Peace Album released a few years ago.
I love the moment where JB is calling for Catfish and he doesn’t hear him and says. “come on Phelps” “Hit me” then Bootsy has to yell “Phelps!” And then Catfish unleashed a fire ass solo 34:30
He probably lost some money for that.
@@donaldthompson7766 Haahh 😄 I was thinking about that too.
Yeah that's cool
Also at 44:28. A little before his next solo he says “dont be so late phelps” then jb does his little thing right before his solo.
You caught that too. You know he got fined for that. Then when James is doing It's A Man's World he tells Phelps don't be so late!
Awesome video , James Brown at his prime with one of his best bands the Collins Bro's,Bootsy and Phelps, Fred Wesley, Bobby Bryd . Thanks for posting .
Avevo appena un anno allora! Appena 18 anni dopo ci andavo vivere a Bologna e lì ho passato i migliori anni facendomi un sacco di canne e ascoltando il mitico James!
THIS IS REALLY OLD JAMES BROWN! GOD FATHER OF S O U L! 2021.
I live half mile from that venue,it is still there today,i was 3 years old back then,my mom and her brother were there,both are passed away,it must have been a wild night,my uncle saw Jimi Hendrix as well in that very same place,years later he told me both shows were great,miss those times ,thanks for uploading!
Do you know what the name of the venue is ?
Right now is Paladozza, back then I don't know, it's still there, mainly for basketball championship@@A-RAW20s
Les meilleurs musiciens du genre au top de sa carrière ..la formation James Brown inégalable
Bobby Byrd came from a musical family! He and his brother did well as did Bootsy Collins in the 70's! But only through the exposure and experience of James Brown!
Fabuloso, siempre lo he admirado desde 1970 y más 💋🦖
At 13:12 is when Bootsy did his thing. As a child I never liked that song but after hearing Bootsy play it! This man is the greatest of all times...
Great James. I had the luck to listen to one of his last concerts and he was awesome. I couldn't imagine the groove in 1971 !!!
Everytime I watch this, I can't wait to hear young Bootsy destroy that bass! When he's playin Sunny! I just crack UP! That band that band that band.. Everybody was just killing it!
He is the BEST ever. What a genius for the sound he created .
53.44 "take your time Bootsy!"~ Mr Brown always in control..nice one....great one too Bootsy!
As an Italian I'm impressed by the quantity of footage material of James Brown in Italy. Some of the most popular performances were recorded here.
Yes indeedy....James Brown is trash after 78 ...like most things that didnt survive the 80s
Incredibbile come la TV italiana degli anni '70 spiegava tutto tramite graziose presentatrici acculturate....
The Collins and the JBs where funky early! All people loved James Brown! How many black people had a show on TV in the 50s?He broke barriers and changed the very course of music in America as well as abroad!
And James owned a bunch of radio stations also.
It's a damn shame he had to break barriers.
James sang Sunny on here. Elsewhere he snag If I Ruled the World, That's Life which are slower songs he did great on. James was underrated as a ballad singer.
Archie Thomas Not by me!
Not by me!
The GODFATHER OF SOUL!!! 👏👏👏
Mike drop!!! 🎤🎤🎤
Fred Wesley was superb on the trombone from the 10:55 mark to the 12:06 mark.
Wow. Just....wow.
James brown was a force
Amazing how she talks through the whole song Soul Power. Haters....
When your in the James Brown band watch him! He changes shit up on ya!!!
An’ you get fined if miss a change!
Tightest band ever
шикарное видео...
JB фореве...
I literally watch this allot. This was a very great show!!!
All I can say is EXCELLENT! Thanks for this; it really made my day!
Toute l'énergie et la positive attitude du funky musicien

key pieces of the "PFUNK DYNASTY"...Bootzilla, Catfish Collins on guitar and Frankie "Kash" Waddy on drums...this was when the "ONE" was defined. Too FUNKY!
I was 9yrs. Old when this was happening
I was 8 :)
I was 1 month old.
THANK YOU! I was waiting this video since years….
The funk hit these people hard.
That organ solo was awesome!
At exactly @8:59 of this video
Catfish goes into a human metronome on that axe at that point.
Bootsy goes into a groove on that bass then Clyde "The Funky Drummer" ...can't nobody GROOVE like that. Man I love TH-cam for allowing the past become present
Love Clyde but that's John Jabo Starks n Tiger Don Jaun Martin
Ok...you're right about Tiger Don Juan...but that's Frankie 'Kash' Waddy from The Houseguests
Energia pura
His bands transitions were nothing short of PURE SICKNESS....DANG!!!!
the hardest working man in show business. caught his shows in the 60´s,70´s,80´s. once at a record sighimg. me, my 2yr. old daughter, my 8yr. old son, and his new album in hand, in line for a autograph. when it was our turn, i froze and was speechless. he says´´wher da bab shu aa´´ i just stood there, mouth open, trying to talk. again he says´´wher da bab shu aa´´! my son, seeing me in trouble looks at me, james, then my daughter. hollers out´´he saying wheres the baby shoe at´´? true story...

At lease those Italians knew how to show passion and rock to the beat, way better than they did in some US cities out side of the black community.
indeed, passionate people see what I mean th-cam.com/video/Zxgjwcvdf0s/w-d-xo.html

James Brown should be on the US Dollar Bill.
You ever seen his epic performance for the Tami Show? Never been a more enthralled, passionate audience for anything. Nice try tho...
@@patrickmccarron2817 Outstanding observation
James brown was ultimate performer
Went to see J.B. at soldier field in Chicago. What a performance!(1968)
Right on vato!
Right when James sings his last note on "Sunny" and does that final scream, the camera pans out so perfect lol you couldn't have planned that right there man.
Ikr.
Exactly
klasse Entdeckung
The transition at 9:00 is unreal. They worked hard as a band but it showed. That’s a lot of practice for one moment too. Excellence!
And the way Bootsy and Phelps move to it too! Awesome
Wow what a treat!
48:03 "La Guardia" che prova a contenere i balli!!!!Che ridere! Che concerti ragazzi!!!
Man, how amazing this is !
As far as stage entertaining is concerned, this guy had it all : the voice, the moves, the energy, the passion, the emotion, and what an awesome band !
I had chills when I heard their rendition of Sunny at 12:20
What an incredible performance. I will credit your video and post a small clip on my own channel for my suscribers to enjoy !
Thanks so much for uploading this...Pure gold !
Young Bootsy smashing those fast tempo busy basslines, DAMN!
The audience only just givin' up the funk at the end of the performance. I'd be givin' it up from the first hit!
Agreed soul is good power to attain its major in the decent. Peace loving humanities on the world I hope soul power song grows as it was good soul imparted which created us all! Thx JB sing it!
no one like this man
He is the best to ever do it and the JB’s
The legendary Love-Power-Peace concert in Paris was held in the same year. 23rd of August, 1971.
Mr. James Dynamite Brrown, Thee absolute Best!!! Funky Soul!!!!
Bobby Byrd!
Don't need to speak Italian to understand Americano, and fantastico. And listen to that band...there has never been tighter and more proficient.
Bobby Byrd under rated
Thanks for liberating! Awesome footage!
Good gravy check out Bootsy at 14:33
Alexander Burr hah I just posted about this... he is LOCKED in!
Very very good clear footage of Bootsy and Catfish back in the day
this is great …..wish Maceo was there .
Me Too. He Had Quit, And Joined Parliament/Funkadelic With George Clinton.
That was years later Kevin
James had a habit of changing drummers at any time check it out at 31:37 and you'll see James motion to switch drum players!! Now that's tighter than a virgin!!!
+WILLIAM PARKER So smooth. Genius. The greatest all time. Period. next caller.
Yea he was seriously lagging...
SIMPLY WE ALL SHOULD SAY JAMES BROWN! THE BADDEST BROTHER TO HIT THE STAGE!! HE WAS IN CONTROL!!
Cmon Tiga!
