Corey should be mentioned in the list of greatest singers of all time. NOt rock singers, not soul singers, not gospel singers. SINGERS. FAn-fuggin-tastic and a HUGE HUUUUUGE influence on me.
I worked at a venue in NYC where the PA was flown over the front of the stage and the lights were right in front of that out over the front of the crowd. Corey was singing there that night and during sound check, while the light guy was in front of the stage focusing the lights for the show, Corey said "Everybody cover your ears. This is gonna be loud." Then he let loose one of the craziest high screams I've ever heard come from a human being and the light guy (right in front of the those speakers) jumped 20 feet off of the ladder holding his ears. When asked about it later the light guy said "I felt like my skull was penetrated by an alien death ray." Brother man has got some pipes! I've never heard anything like it before or since.
This was the 80's - Bands like Living Colour, Kings X and Fishbone were turning heads. They all had black front men and could seriously rock out hard. None of these bands were appreciated in their time, but I made sure to attend their shows and support them because america was lost and did not want to give these guys the respect and love they deserved then. I remember those days WELL.
At the time I didn't really appreciate how good Corey Glover was as I was blinded by the amazing riffs and musicianship of the other 3. Now I think Corey is the highlight for me. Great band and a very healthy time for music and musicianship.
Still come back to this periodically to remind me just how good music that's rarely mentioned can be. This specific performance of the song really raised the bar
Summer of 1988 the song/video Cult of Personality was released. First time I heard it I was frozen. As soon as Vivid was released I bought the cd and it was nothing like I had heard before. Raw rock/jazz is all I can describe it as. Loved every song on that cd.
I’ve loved this song for decades. Top 5 for me. How could anyone not rock out to Living Colour? I’d get married again just to have that played as my Wedding March. No joke!
That man can sing. The whole band is super talented If you dislike this you pressed the wrong button by mistake. It's better live than recorded!! Man this band is just HOT!!!! ♥️✌
I feel like that guy played with the heart, there is not many musicians that sounds like it. He goes doin arrangements/licks fast or simple but never missing either the time or the pitch and at the same time sounding amazingly natural and like he has the music running in his veins. I dont know his knowledge of music but to me he sounds like playing w the heart
Circling the Fringes - This is not no Doug Wimbish, I’m afraid. This their original bass player Muzz Skillings. Sadly left the band after 1991 and has stayed outta the limelight ever since. Shame!
Geez, stumbled on this by accident. Completely forgot about this great band. shame on me. They were so great. We used to sing this loud, fantastic song, great musicians. Glad I came across it, goes to my favs at once....
What a fucking live performance that was, you'll be very hard pushed to find a modern day band do a live performance at good as this. Jesus Christ fantastic!!!!
what a fantastic living beauty of a rock and roll song this one is. A real heart stopper. I heard this and thought, that's so rich. How could they top that?
Glover and Terrance Trent D'arby ( Maitreya ) were very close in vocals- they both have that thing that 'thing' that Sam Cooke had. I remember when this aired.. This is, by far the best version of this song and I hope this sees a release one day.
After listening to music for about 40 years I never knew these guys were such giants. LC are brilliant in every respect and I just have to get their albums now. They are filling a gap in my musical experience in a way because they are so unique musically and lyrically.I have to start learning all about them now !!
@@LS-tt9ci I wanted to see them in Chicago this year but I wasn't down to pay 120 for a ticket to bands I was less interested in in the process. But I definitely want to, next time they come to town!

AGREED !!!!
seen him last night, was honestly blown away
Shout out to William Calhoun one of the best that ever did it ✌🏽
calhoun's a beast. one of my biggest influences growing up in the 80s 90s.

This is a music lesson. Holy shit these guys were amazing.
They still are amazing
These guys ARE AMAZING!!!!

Criminally underrated band, Vernon Ried is a guitar god and black guitarists don't get enough recognition. That is all.

My absolute favorite Living Color song.
This song is so good. And great performance by Corey.

Ladies and gentlemen,,, you have been watching 4 guys, who understands the innersoul of,,,,,,MUSIC.
Right On and Amen
My god. This man's vocals are flawless and have so much soul yo them ❤
Summer 1991...southern Italy beach place and Living Colour playing loud in my walk-man when love was rearing up its ugly head. Love em
Summer 91, Kinkerstraat, Amsterdam, and it play loud as well on my Walkman !!! The good old days !!!
one of the coolest bands ever. love em.
BEST BAND IN THE WORLD
Wow. Never appreciated them as much as I should have. Just wow!
Will Calhoun is an alien overlord of the drum kit. Who else sounds even remotely similar to this day?
bye myself
I have to agree.
He was sent to cure us from this unfunky ufo.
Each member of this band is their own entity in music. It beats the shit out of me how they weren’t getting credit.
so tight! such an underrated guy and band
That's the first video I've seen of them live. And it's now super clear that they were the real deal.
One off the greatest bands and singers of our times
Fire bruh, fire bruh. Still kicking in 2022!!
2020 and still the best band....
Says it all
2021 still on point.
That man can sing. The whole band is super talented

It's better live than recorded!! Man this band is just HOT!!!! ♥️✌
your comment is just the same as 20 others on this list.
It's better live than recorded!! Man this band is just HOT!!!! ♥️✌
Agree....I had a cassette of the album and I heard this song performed live for the first time. And it's incredible....hands down
Those ghost notes by the bass player in perfect time with the drummer at 2:45... never mind the unison lick at 2:40
These guys deserve to have their names mentioned. That is Doug Wimbish.
I feel like that guy played with the heart, there is not many musicians that sounds like it.

What a great song. Been too long since I've listened to these guys , and they're still around .
What a fucking live performance that was, you'll be very hard pushed to find a modern day band do a live performance at good as this. Jesus Christ fantastic!!!!
I grew up listening to this band,I was 21 when vivid came out and fell in love with them. Sucks how time passes so quickly.
what a fantastic living beauty of a rock and roll song this one is. A real heart stopper. I heard this and thought, that's so rich. How could they top that?

November 2021… this is still ❤️🔥
I love the intro to this track on the Time's Up album.

Epic drumming
How were they not considered one of the greatest of all time
The story of a band that were dismantled way to quickly. They have it all. Just embracing what they have left us
Great tune, great playing, awesome voice! I love that descending bass bit in the second verse...uber tasty!
This band are tight and spot on.. And the singer has an incredible voice
That voice!! Still sick!! 👑🎙🎧🎸
Great performance, great musicians
They were on the top of their game here. Well rehearsed. First time I have seen it since it was on TV.
LOVE this song ,listen closely
It's been some 30 years by now that I listen to them. I'm waiting for the day when I'll be finally tired. I think I'll be dead before this day comes.
One off the greatest bands and singers of our times
luv rears its ugly head one bad ass version of the truth//// and nuthin but the truth
Great Voice! Had a chance to meet a couple of them at my Boy's Godfrey House in Brooklyn years ago. Great guys.......
The bassplayer is amazing good. Why is he not in the picture?
Glover and Terrance Trent D'arby ( Maitreya ) were very close in vocals- they both have that thing that 'thing' that Sam Cooke had. I remember when this aired.. This is, by far the best version of this song and I hope this sees a release one day.
firgging awesome ..the notes the feel , amazing
i couldnt remember their name, awesome band so glad i've found them again x
Essa voz es delas grandes , De lo mejor que he oido nunca. Bravo !!!
Why aren't there more bands like this?
¿Por qué no hay más bandas como ésta?
The Best Voice In Rock: Corey Glover!!!
I say this to anyone who’ll listen..his voice still rocks as hard as it did when they toured Vivid.
God damn this guy has one hell of a set of pipes.
dope band!
ear candy ,best band ever

Just listen to that bass playing!

Great Band....a proper band!
