August Darnell here at 67 years of age is wonderful. The Coconuts are lovely but the 80's girls were red hot and extremely talented. The band here is good but the 80's band was fantastic.
@@waldolydecker8118 That doesn't diminish it as an art form, WaldoLydecker. If anything, it makes things better. If only I'd realized how much fun it would be to be a coconut when I was nineteen. I'm sixty-six, but damned if I am not going to learn to dance like that. I don't mean to be a bitch, and I don't believe in quotas, but it would have made a powerful statement on women if you had also had a brilliant female musician in the band. All beautiful.
I'm a blues gitarrist. but this is the best partyband ever.. i love them since almost 35 years :) i wish i could play with them on once..... or even more times!!!!
Incredibile August Darnell alias Ked Creole. Artista nato nel 1950 nel Bronx di New York. Il suo look "elegante" era diffuso negli anni 40 /50 nella malavita di New York. Oggi canta e balla come non fossero mai passati gli anni. Grande artista. Il suo sound ha lasciato 1 segno indelebile. 1 genere musicale unico fuso con vari sounds. Ricordo le Coconuts originali che con i loro balletti ci hanno fatto innamorare. Eleganza raffinate sensuali. Quelle attuali non sono di meno. Complimenti.🎹🎧🎤🎵👍
Love this! Kid Creole was virtually unheard of in Australia but had mild success in New Zealand where I bought their album while visiting family during Christmas 1982.
@@coover65 - I almost couldn't believe it when I heard 'Annie, I'm Not Your Daddy' playing on the outdoor speakers of a pub I was walking past a couple of weeks ago, here in Wellington/NZ! 😀 I'd already been OCD'ing on that song for a few days then, too! 😄
They say an apple a day keeps the doctor away.....I'd say the same goes for a coconut! This band has more funk than ever and the rest is just part of an amazing lively show that lifts the spirits and the soul!
You're absolutely right! That stage designer should be dismissed. If that was the case we wouldn't mind to listening in mono if they can get rid of those speakers.
It was a low-budget video production -- just ONE camera centerstage. In fact, this might just be a smartphone video from the audience. Usually at their older shows, there were multiple cameras, so it didn't matter where the dancers were relative to speakers or other large equipment. Also low-budget in the size of the band. To fill the stage, they had to spread the dancers far stage-right and musicians far stage-left.
CAN anyone watch anything except Ms Coconut at our right IE stage left? Whoever set the moves. this must be what they should look like - as elegant as they are funky
I agree! There are some people commenting that would prefer to have the original line up of the Coconuts instead, but I guess it will be not so pleasant for the eyes, right now :)
My Drama and English Teacher in Junior High who took me to see For Color Girls who considered Suicide when the Rainbow was not Enough. Go head Mr. Browder!
Legend. And bloody good for his age. Many musicians get better and better....he is on that list. Great music They run rings round the younger guys and girls. Not to say no talent at all on the younger generation. No no.
I'm glad that you like it. Thanks for the compliment. The end result could be better if I used a 4K camera instead of the 3D, but I wanted to watch the coconuts in stereoscopic ;)
Le Creole band manque un peu de volume…. Pour les curieux qui veulent voir le Kid dans ses jeunes heures, regardez le concert de1985 au casino de Paris. Un Show de la MORT. Ce concert à 35 ans et j'y suis toujours ACCRO..On dit comment coconutsomanes ???
@@waltervaught8896 absolutely right. Coati Mundi was the perfect sidekick for Kid. Also the trio of Coconuts made by Addy, Cheryl, and Janique was so much more talented than the current one.
So good❤️Only one thing could make it better. Take four pieces of the speakers in front left and put them on the photomans head and body back on stage. What an idiot. It will lift up the video so much!
Not the original coconuts but just another set of younger eye candy and as for Kid Creole I do't think Kid is any longer appropriate. Well past his sell by date and I used to be a big fan.
Allow me to disagree. The "kid" is not anymore a kid :) but it's a lot of fun to watch it live. The coconuts are still on par with the original, and the band considering that has less elements play their part fine. The only piece missing is Coati Mundi, and that was the crazy part that I miss. Otherwise I'm hoping yet to see a lot more concerts from the Kid
If you watch the coreography from those times they were very similar. The attitude may be different but it makes part of the "persona" they are incorporating

Good old times...also missing the big (small as a matter of fact) Coati Mundi part of the fun and energy of the live act
I’ve loved Kid Creole since they first hit the scene in the early 80’s. The original coconuts were the best. No one can hold a candle to them.
The hardest working background singers in the business.
The COCONUTSSSS
🥥🥥🥥🥥🌴
Yeah the harder THEY work, the harder YOU get.

Hi Steven, thanks a lot for your comments. Glad that you like it. And yes it's true, the coconuts are amazing...
He still puts on one helluva show
Respect O. G.
For sure!
Great to see them still working this uique act.
So smart and enjoyable
Fanatastic, Fabulous, The shows were an Absolute life-experience! Such STYLE! and panache!.. And then The Coconuts!!
Indeed. They are a great show. Waiting anxious for them to return to the stage
WOW, what an outstanding performance !!!!!!! FREAKIN' LOVE it from start to finish !!!!!!! :)

Kid Creole is like the secret lovechild of Iceberg Slim and Screaming Jay Hawkins.
It’s

They are marvellous!
As kid Creole says: So marvellous, so wonderful... :)
Fabulous ! Amazing group. Viva The Best Music ! Wonderful ! Come to Paris please . Thanks for all.
Thanks Jimmy. indeed, it's such a party...
The original coconuts were hot beyond description. See KC in Paris! Excellent music.
You are right. But unfortunately ageing is an irreversible process...
These 3 are boring ,rubbish dance routines.
The equipment is blocking the equipment... (;-b)
Damn speakers :)
Would love 2 hear more from Kid Creole and the Coconuts. The good 2 me. And would love 2 hear his version of The Sex Of It
No -one cooler than the kid,even prince tried,Thanks for the great music
The cooler of the coolest! Thanks for commenting.
Prince was a genious! and If he got the coconuts it could even be greater. ( their pupils anyway was nothing to leftover)
Very appropriate
Geweldig wat leuk en wat een gezelligheid . bedankt.coconuts.
Bedankt. Inderdaad, zo'n feest ...
I LOVE THE COCONUTS!!!
We all Do!
Hey great video, thanks for the hard work filming, editing and posting this !
Hi, glad you like. There is always a trade off nicer video > less fun, but it pays to watch it later, and people like you enjoying it.
Great .. great entertainment. Love coming back for more.
Thanks ghostrider

That's Sarah McGrath
@@acrfactor thank you
@@ironclad57 You're welcome ;)
Still great but Coati Mundi is missing, he was a real character to add to the show!
You are so right. The guy was funny... and crazy...and electric and a versatile music talent. He had such a chemistry with Kid Creole on stage.

I miss coati too

@@davideleone9809 right on brother
Shame how the band didn’t keep up the same talent as before kid creole is great seen the live in montreal so much of a talent differents
The missing of Coati Mundi is reason enough to the things being quite different. That man by himself was a show
❤❤❤
Ideally, needs a choral section and bigger brass section to give the anthem effect. But there again, a venue is a venue.
😮
After all these years I find out in who is inspired the main caracter of the movie Mask.
That's not the real Coconuts..I want the original one.
Ha cha cha cha is right!
muy bueno buena música megusto
I would love to play guitar in this band. Please call me. Please baby please!
Me too! Saw them in Rockpalast 83! Since than i love them.
God I love those Coconuts mmmm x
They are really yummi...
12:43 hot hot hot tooooooooooooooooooooooooooo hot the coconuts.....
Hotter than Hot :)
Fave moves @13:49
;)
We’ve all been there !
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Never take the coconuts
Oh no! We need them ;)
Uplifting or what !!!!
hot coconuts :-)
They steal the show!
Oh yeah... the entire show, i would say!
So good❤️Only one thing could make it better. Take four pieces of the speakers in front left and put them on the photomans head and body back on stage. What an idiot. It will lift up the video so much!
You're right, these coconuts don't deserve to be covered ;)
The only coconuts I like...I LIKE THEM ALOT...Oh behave...
LOL

Funny how he never does the song "I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts." ;-)
As Virgo-escent Critic, it fits the Thyme but not the Genre . . .Sorry 😭
L-acoutics sound system.....The référence.
Hi Aldo. Sorry but I didn't get it
Beats the last coconut i had, it was round and hairy.
LOL
HILARIOUS!!!
😱
Kid creole was the best live show you could see aside from Jethro tull
No "Endicott"? That some BS...
I also love that song but due to time limit they couldn't perform more
@@acrfactor They should've made room.
@@BrianScottHarris Yep!
Good, but not quite as interesting as the original set up back in the 1980s with the original Coconuts, Bongo Eddie, Coati Mundi, etc.
Unfortunately that's what we can get these days, not so brilliant but even so, very entertaining
the band isn't the same without Coati Mundi
I ride like 7th
Pond life!
Slurp !
you have to watch out for the potholes in NYC
I really miss Jessica
The sound is just not the same without Carole Colman on the bass. No disrespect to this bass player.

thats not the same original dude . might be a stand-in or fake industry rental.
Yes it is, only Coati Mundi is missing, and of course the original cocunuts.
