No computer, only vinyl for scratches. The father of EDM music. This track is ahead of it's time.
Very far ahead ....it was like Magic when i Heard this i was 9 learning the piano
define 'computer'
Grandmaster Flash upgraded to a computer, and he's been making loops and scratching BEFORE this! This was THE hit though. THE breakthrough that forced music snobs to admit that Rap and Hip-Hop were true music, not just a novelty. And yet people still exist who don't know of this track, people who dismiss the entire genre of Hip-Hop based on a short period of its 40 year history.
They just never learned how to truly Rock It
(And one more thing, I still don't know the origin of the Ahhhh, FRESH sample that is a basic piece of every single scratch DJ's kit.)
@@devtrashright lol
I recorded this on VHS and played it over & over again! He sold a million of just this single! 80's rocked!!
Is your VHS deteriorated?
Who’s still Rockn to this is 2023? Awesome song and performance!
2024 homie domie !
Always light-years ahead of his time
he was killing it in the 70's and murdered the future.... Herbie Hancock... the hip hop genius
inventer of the electric boogy to?
AB-SO-FUCKIN'-LUTELY!!!!
Before chopped and screwed....this is the original....and it's origins right here...y'all agree or disagree....I rate this....50million Stars🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟it's mother's day 12:01am as I type... happy mother's day 🙏🏾🕯️
can't imagine how many generations of culture, djs, turntablists, musicians, bands, music videos, genres, albums, films, art these 9 min 29 secs have inspired ♥🔥
One of the best songs of the 80s. Reminds me when I was a teenager . . . Damn! I'm old!
kkkkkk eu sou também kkkk eu dançava
kkkkkk I'm also kkkk I danced
me too
This was the Grammys - 1984.
I remember being blown away by it at the time.
Still pretty amazing.
no..its live in concert, London, UK
@@TheBlueCream It’s neither, it’s live in Tokyo
No, no, it's live in Ethiopia...
THANK YOU Herbie Hancock for showing the World that the Turntable IS an Instrument!!!
Hurry up and build a time machine so we can go back to this concert.
With Ecstacy.
Already done, damn thing ran out of juice, now stuck in the '80's...
GuildOfCalamity YES BECAUSE TLDAYS MUSIC IS GARBAGE
Seeing this unfold in real time would have been something you'd never forget; you'd have known you just witnessed something special.
Count me in Id go back and never return. This was a great song and artists.
They are jamming it on here!!! And they even brought the "legs" back!!! Way to go Herbie!!!!!!!
I won a break~dancing trophy in 1986 with this song.....It was bigger than me,,,,, ask my mom !!!
I once had a goldfish that could breakdance on my floor, but he only did it for 20 seconds and just the once.
@@rascallyrabbit717 not bad comment
What a FUCKING powerful live version. GENIUS!!!!
'Music' today can't touch Herbie. This song kills it!!!😎
This is one of the best I have ever seen. Live instruments, Percussion & Real Vinyl. They could never replicate this.
People like Giorgio and Herbie are amazing artists who are ahead of their time!!
Waoo ...
You wrote this ten years ago ...
Long live Herbie and Giorgio!
Grandmaster DXT introduced scratching to the masses. It's amazing how many turntablists name that scratch as their inspiration.
So many people have grand but for me it's grandmaster flash Theodore or D.XT
this was the definition of the 1980s more than any other song was the definition of any decade....a true legend at work
The birth of the Strutt, Break Dance and Hip Hop.
30+ years on, this will always feel like the future
What a great performance! Take me back... to the oldschool!
Everyone on stage was a huge talent! Gotta miss the 80s!
I went to a rave no New Year's Eve about 12 years ago and the d.j. busted this out...man the whole place went off!!! Definitely a classic!!!
i just saw him live two hours ago, and he plays the same way today!
There was scratching before this song, but this jam is what brought it to the mainstream.
Saturday mornings age 11 in my tracksuit breaking with my boys on the Lino below the multi story. First time I felt alive. First time I could BREAK FREE and forget my problems
THANKYOU Herbie👊🏻 for that energy and excitement u brought into our dimension .
I'm in on the WAY BACK machine ride.
This was JAMMIN on a cosmic level that most of the world was not ready for when it happened,! I'm just glad I was there
YOOOOOOOO, this is one of the craziest live versions of a song I have ever heard. Just when you think it can't get any harder he sets the music from chill to ill to kill.
Dear god I had NO IDEA how dope this song is live! Love the original recording, but daaaaammm!
Indeed. I get goose bumps watching this. And to think, we're getting this much out of it over 30 years later. It must've been a life-changing experience back in the early 80s both hearing this for the first time as well as seeing it live. It's like the future manifesting itself right before your very own eyes.
Herbie is for me the Best Jazz Funker Ever - Respect for the splendide & talentueuse carrière ...
The 80's were insane.
Nah, they were pretty fucking boring.
My favorite a great time to be alive

Sounds like you’re not even from the 80s because if you were you would agree
Corría el año 83, eran los orígenes del "Electro-funky", empezaba a despegar el "scrach" y el "break-dance", y había genios como Herbie Hancock haciendo maravillas como este "Rock It", del cual por supuesto, tengo el MAXI-SINGLE original en vinilo que yo mismo compré en LP en Huesca en su momento.
No hay palabras para describir mis sensaciones al revivirlo.
Thumbs up if you're listening to this in 2013!
I'm listening to it right 2024 💯💪🏾
he's the "global" kind of artist who plays jazz, rock, funky music and also combines those three...
that's why he ROCKS IT!
80s is the best era.
I almost passed out from the sheer greatness of this performance. I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!!! :D :D
If you are watching this you have just been educated on the birth of hip hop
Edward Phelps to bad it's not spoken of when there are history documentaries about hip hop
Hip Hop, Electronica... to me it's all jazz.
The birth of hip-hop was in 1979 The Sugarhill Gang... rap also started in discos
The birth of hiphop was closer to 1973. This guy however inspired a generation of scratch DJs
TheForgottenKing22 To me it’s all funk
33 years ago ......and still electrifying.... :-o
Who else of today can polarize the people after so many years ?
The most artists of today are tomorrow's garbage.
The GREATEST D.J. OF ALL TIME...ALL TIME...ALL TIME.
Herbie Hancock may have learnt this from Miles Davis, they always kept their ears open.
The were experimenting at the time breaking new ground...this keeps music going...
At its heart you have a real strong Herbie riff...still works now..raw and alive!
wow, this is unbelievable🥰
every time i hear this song i feel like break dancing. 80's hip-hop is timeless!!!!!
Etched in my mind this. Saw it on 'super channel', taped it and replayed it approximately a million times. After nesrly 40 years - and not having heard it for 30- still remember every second. Grandmaster DST, respect!
Herbie Hancock is one of the most varied artist I've ever seen... He rocked it in the 80's with electronic dance music and now he's over 80 still producing jazz/funk albums.
Indiscutibilmente geniale. Musicisti come Hancock hanno impresso un marchio indelebile nella storia della musica...grande
Loving that pitch bend @ 7:41 and then Herbie playing the funk out of that keyboard!
Should hear him on the grand piano!!
My favorite rock it wow
Hell Yeah, i'm a 80's Baby All The Way!!
Herbie Hankok #1 one ,fhader electronic music and Breack Dance .Epic and classic melody
Herbie is a genius
On ne se rend doute certainement pas assez compte de ce qu’ils ont fait …du génie 🙏
Holy dang!!! I was just checking out an old Art of Noise video and here I am. Educated!!
I remember being a little boy and loving this back then. Fond memories, still.
Oh my goodness, I was in my teens when this came out, this is REAL talent, REAL music, LIVE scratching, REAL drumming (two sets). What have we become?? These days, computer music, autotune, miming, pre-recorded playbacks and layering, so many live musicians today perform like watching a a TED talk about how to make music without needing any talent. I grant you there are plenty of genuine musicians around today, but this just reminded me how good music was then - innovative, musicians then (especially black ones) HAD to be outstanding to get watched/bought. The video for Rockit was incredible - as a teen, it actually terrified me, gave me nightmares. On finding this again now I'm in my 50s, I had to force myself to watch the animatronics - it still affects me. There's so little real creativity in music now.
If you go through the comments over the past six months youll be suprised your not the only person to listen to this in 2012....
Great performance, what a show. Most of todays artists couldn't perfom in these ways today. That's why the 80s kicked ass.
Still got those drumpads and a module with a Simmons bank. Hurt like hell in the knuckles, but the feeling of playing a part of those days heals everything and this purely friggin' awesome!
Herbie a music genius of this century, incredible!
A music genius that is a master of many genres. Love this and thank you.
Masterpiece, mad love from ALGERIA 🇩🇿

На днях случайно увидел отрывок из фильма ,, Курьер".От души!
Herbie Hancock is Great!!!! Hearing this song on commercials lately bringing it BACK!!! The original video was awsome!!!
You know the CRAZIEST thing is how anyone could rate this a thumbs down...This is a priceless video on so many levels that whoever did has no right viewing it and has no comprehension !!!!
old school beats Love it ! priceless !
King of the Scratch!
Unique Jazzy composition applied to Electronics, Herbie Hancock pure genius

I´m breathless. This is a fantastic tune! Sadly we haven't quality music like this nowadays...
we do you just have to look for it
Laura Dresch, THANK YOU.
@@_lur Your right there is lots of music for the tone deaf these days. Lol
@@_lur
Well there is really good music nowadays in some ways it’s nowhere near as special as the 80s were
Bring back all the amazing creativity and diversity of evolution in music history
Word up! The best of the best…
I'm right there with ya...This was the bomb when I was in HS in the early 80's. Cool video (back when MTV played videos)
GROOVY!
There's snippets from the original Godley & Creme music video with this live performance.

TNx!
I say got DAMN!! No joke about this live version It keeps building til the end, and the keys solo at the end is ridiculous! Lucky audience.
Always remember you're unique...Just like everyone else.
Охереть, я даже не мог себе и представить что это Хэрби!!!!!!!!! Помню как в 80-е в школах танцевали брэйк-дэнс под этот трек!!!!!!
Cyka Blyat !
after the 80s life ended...here is why...most epic TRUE art...avantgarde...80s BEST BEST times...
absolutely awesome time! :-)
Yea that's how I felt when it turned 2010, 2000s was my time. I'm probably 20 years younger then you though. I will admit and agree though, this is way better than today's hip hop
I saw him for $70 per ticket in the third row of an intimate theatre . . . one of the best concerts I have ever seen.
This live version was even know fantastic like the video version. Herbie Hancock is a great artist who's playing different musicstyles like jazz, funk , electric boogie and hiphop.Maybe someone other styles.
Classic stuff
Bro do you realize you wrote this comment in 2006?
@@Mrrickyboy41 yes
classic retro comment 👌
turntable , no AUTOTUNE , real live (not playback) ...80s my childhood :)
he's playing a record of his track with another record, just cutting and tapping over it.
This is actually 100% pure art: he's doing music improvisation in real time with his hands...
@@TransistorBased
No, this is not record of his composition, he doesn't pay with his records... He's doing live music, using samples from vinil records and behind his back there are people playing guitar and synthesizers...
Yes I’m watching it I’m 55 yrs old the best music we ever had yes old times
Hexagonal electric drums FTW! That's pure 80's for you right there!!!
Damn- so good it gives me the chills. Herbie Hancock Jazz Master. Herbie Hancock Hip Hop master.
Mark Fowler u like crass lol
THAT SHIT WAS AWESOME.......I LOVE (Mixin and Scratchin).
Pure class!
As Snoop Dog proclaimed to Herbie at the Kennedy Center Honors; "Thank you Herbie for inventing Hip-Hop."
Myron Buzzwannanots Hahaha but Herbie Don't do that: Hancock discover the Existent Hip Hop culture when he visited a Club.
No, HipHop was invented November 1971 by Kool Herc.
Let's not forget Grandmaster Flash as one of the fathers of hip-hop movement ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@djkaneck1 no, hip hop was invented in 1969by carl hip hop when he read a rhyme to a beat
Love Herbie but Kraftwerk "Computer World" came out 2 years before this
All the different nationalities enjoying this jam together as one. This is what hip hop is about. Why can't these stupid politicians get it. Love you all and hip hop.
Это Навсегда! Forever! Best All The Best!
That was a show!! They ROCK-ED IT!
After all these years, still awesome!!!
Шикарно!)
I remember seeing this on The Grammy's. Rockit was nominated and won!
Thats right
It does not get any cooler than this for the 80s!
Excellent !!
Лохматые 80-е.А как звучит свежо.Даже по сегодняшним меркам.Гений он и есть гений👍
Тема очень популяризировала брейк данс
Вышел за пределы своего времени
Этот чёрный, чёртов гений. До сих пор круто звучит!
Тока бесит экран крутящийся
