I was 17 years of age and I was there in my guess jeans and jacket. Man that's when you can go and have really good time without shooting at people. Best time in go go history. Iconic this will never happen again. R I P Chuck.
Straight like that. I was15. I had on a black and pink Mistral jogging suit with the black Larry bird Reeboks. Fun days and times. Oh yeah 12 grand in pocket. Straight like that.
Lls I was 8.. All the dope music and shows happened either before I was born or in this case before I was old enough to go .. I remember seeing this when I was about 10 yrs old on VHS.. By that time I had already seen Junkyard down capers endless times, but I knew I was gonna be in love w/ gogo for life.. This hasn't been duplicated since on this large of scale.. It's long overdue for another.. RIP to the legendary Cap center 🙌🏾💯.. Capitol One Arena for part 2 anyone? ✌🏾
@@raphaelbellinger3047 what you know about capers? lol Honestly, that was my old hood and Potomac Gardens, 87, I was 27 years old with many concerts under my belt, in fact I bragged while in Germany and throughout Europe that Chuck was my Homie and Chuck baby DGAF...
It’s crazy cause you say this but I’m here from Alpo he was in DC around this time i think.. and he said it was the complete opposite a lot of killings was going on
The younger generation didn’t keep the beat going. There was a time when you pull up next to someone all you heard was the latest P.A tape blasting from there speaker now all you hear is rap. For some reason gogo is not the same maybe because I’m older now. All I can say is that I am glad to have been around in the 80’s and 90’s when gogo was at its best.
I was so pissed my grandfather wouldn't let me go that night. I was 16 in my junior year at Coolidge Sr. High. All of my friends that did go came to school bragging like hell. But best believe, as soon as that recording came out, I went straight to Waxie Maxie's downtown to buy my cassette. I used to blast it in my room, in the car when I was driving, until it popped. Years later, I bought the CD, and the DVD. I may not have been there physically, but I felt like I was there in spirit LOL 🤣
I want you to show.I had a wonderful time.Sorry that your folks won't let you go to that show.But I'm pretty sure your friend's name.By told you was like that my name is billy
🥺 Damn it, I wasn't old enough to make to the Capital Center that night, but cherish every moment of this legendary concert. #Thanks for posting! sheesh 🤦🏽♂️
MAN I REMEMBER BEING THERE AND IT WAS FIRE🔥🔥 THE 80'S WAS THE BEST MAN THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A GOGO SHOW LIKE THIS BEFORE OR AFTER. WHO'S JAMMING TO THIS IN 2024❓I WISH I COULD JUST GO BACK AND STAY THE BEST TIME!!!
I have no idea how the audio CD made it up to FUNK-O-MART records in Philly, but I found it and for some reason purchased it and was hooked from day one!!!
I took EU freeze to Philly when I went to Cheyenne State and gave one of the DJs that single. He asked who i was listening to and liked it. He said he was going to play it 4 or 5 times and did!!. The rest is history. I did the same thing in Germany with Trouble Funks Don’t touch that stereo and Pump me up. Miss those days in DC and still listen to my city music!!!
@@mauricewilliams6044 Everybody was fly! No tight ass jeans, woman were natural just a different time slim! These yungins will never understand. 80’s and 90’s all day!
A sold out nba arena all to hear LOCAL artists And I missed it cuz I was in St. Louis calling myself a bball player smh…came home, got the tape, and made it my workout music for the rest of my 1987-1988 season
EU, RE, Hot Cold sweat, Lil Benny, Godfather Chuck Brown was a great era as it relates to funk but when JY which was the youngsters on the block back then changed go-go to what it is today.. from funk to crank nation!! #DMV
