Weensey’s voice is so iconic, so legendary, it pierces ur soul, and makes ur whole body happy!!! U can’t be still when the BYB is doing what only they can do!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
DC! GOT DAMN. I thought it was Detroit for a minute. The singer came in with some fire. They sound good. Back to the days of bands...Ohio Players, Earth Wind and Fire, Cameo, Parliament. I hope this return becomes popular.
@@acquanettasimpson1937 The look of the homes. For a minute I thought it was Westside of Detroit. Detroit is an eclectic blend of so many music styles. You never know what or who you might hear there. All respect due to DC!
If you from the DMV you know how great and special this is to see. Beautiful moment for the city to see. Damn near brought a tear to my eye. Shout out to BYB and everybody that did their thing on this.
First heard backyard in job corps in VA ( I’m from Philly) my boyfriend who was from DC introduced me, and I eventually moved to Maryland and been a fan ever since!!! GOGO music and culture is unmatched period!
I went to see Backyard a few times like 20 years ago. A fight would always break out, the band would jump in...then half hour later take the stage again and keep playn. To see these guys still rockn hard like this really fills my heart. They still mf got it too
I was last year old when i found out Slim Charles from the Wire was a GO GO LEGEND - Went to Morgan State in Baltimore (Prayers up!) This sound is part of my undergrad experience.
Yo. I'm a bear too. All I heard from people's headphones walking up and down the yard was these drums blasting in their beats headphones lol. It was real hot back in like 2011-2014.
You don’t think there’s good musicians 🤔 do you not see the guy on the congos,the drums & the one on the guitar but their not good musicians or they’re no consider musicians ? I’m confused … idk that’s talent to me .. I bet you couldn’t do what they do 🙄
This just appeared in my timeline today, 8/17/23. I live in Oxon Hill. As someone sad below, this the most DC thing I've seen in a minute & I'm here for it!👏🏾👏🏾 I just hope the neighbors dont give y'all no problems about playing outside. Y'all got me up here in my bed jamming along. I'm trying to find out where this house at so I can come dance outside while they play!😅👍🏾
YES ! PRETTY GIRL ! is the BackYard band original go go Song ! 🎵 And WALE rapped over the original song with BYB ! and HipHop with Wale found out about BYB ! ❤🔥💣🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵💯

I got stuck right here with BYB!!! 🫡On repeat x20 cause I gotta keep the ambiance going while I read all these loving comments!!! 💗Always been in love with the bass that is Big G’s voice!!! 🔥Always one of the top bands on my Gogo list in any & every year!!!! Wish this was longer too!!
That transition into Still Ray is insane. Change of pace like that and no one missed a beat. I had to rewatch it like 5 times to see if it was edited (it’s not). 8:23
@@AlliterativeAtheist I came to the DC area 2002 I first seen backyard band in the Mad Chef Cafe … they’ve been my favorite band ever since I have never been to a gogo before that
The fact that they sound so much like the band is amazing. We have some talented musicians in the DMV. SALUTE. The lead guitarist was cranking and that back line was fire !!!!
Yes we also need to bring back them music programs in the school it was always a new band on da scene but now it's not the same. Da city Betta keep dis shit alive for all generations.
