GB is a genius. He is a jazz guitar legend - among legends. Many try to sound like him but to no avail.There'll never be another George Benson. His backing awesome. Jorge Dalto and Ronnie Foster two of his mainstays.
I saw him perform feb 77 in Worcester Mass. His wife who sat next to met took us backstage to meet him. He mentioned how pretty my ex wife from Korea was. I immediately bought the Japanese Johnny Smith copy he played that night due to what I heard. That guitar was the heaviest guitar I ever had out of around 40.
Harvey Mason would have done this equally better in some of those George Benson smooth jazz classics if he were to be in that performance. He shined on the drums especially in the "Weekend in L.A." album release in 1979 live at the Roxy.
Hola, tengo 54 años y desde adolescente que aprendí a conocer este tipo de música y la verdad , George es, uno de mis favoritos, es un grande, lo admiro mucho hasta el día de hoy!! Saludos de Chile!!
George Benson heeft ook opgetreden in de Boerenhofstede in Laren. Het was daar zo knus, ik zat nog geen meter bij hem vandaan en heb ook met hem gesproken en een handtekening van hem gehad.
Damn... I got kicked out of church due to my poor tambourine playing, and this guy just plays it with his crusty foot? While playing bass? Wow. And look at George, with his lightning fast runs and octaves. Show off!
WOW! The amazing George Benson and his Breezin band. I really appreciate this footage, the performance of "This masquerade" is the best live version I've ever watched on youtube. Thanks for share
Que grandisimo músico de jazz completo que wings desprende del interior del alma como cautiva y como cuenta la melodia una perfección llena de magia de elegancia y de profesionalidad
Ronnie Foster on the keyboards. I think he used the Arp String Ensemble and the Moog keyboards at the same time. The Arp String keyboard was common in the 1970s not just for jazz fusion - but heavily used in 1970s disco.

@Stefani Sarah SXS Maar anders dan in Blokker waar de zoon van de burgemeester tien jaar lang een festival (met o.a. optredens van Louis Armstrong [2x zelfs], Jacques Brel en Benny Goodman) organiseerde om de kas van de lokale jongerenbeweging te spekken, was de Singer concertzaal (nu Singer Theater) een plek waar in de begintijd van de Nederlandse televisie veel tv-programma's werden opgenomen, o.a.

+karl Williams You couldn't be much of a Musician to make a statement like that about one of the greatest Jazz Vocalist and Musician of our time. Anyone who is a true Guitarist and Musician would already know Benson. If he didn't and listen to his music he would recognize Benson vocal talent which hailed among the best in the business. Your not recognizing that he is a multi talented Jazz and R&B Artist who has won Grammys as a vocalists as well as a Guitarists tells us you are a Novice. Benson is still performing all over the world at the age of 70 to sell out crowds who love his music. Just as Stevie Wonder is a great Key Board player and Vocalist. Benson is a great Vocalist and Guitarist. He does it now for the love of the Craft as he is Mega Wealthy. A true Musician would never make a statement like that .

Sencillamente capo
Un genio
the Jimi of jazz...the george of george
One of the all time best swinging jazz funk tunes of all time. I love to play guitar to this song : )
Dennis Davis on drums for this tour, played Royal Albert Hall, London on 30 May ‘77, Jorge RIP
Harvey Mason would have done this equally better in some of those George Benson smooth jazz classics if he were to be in that performance. He shined on the drums especially in the "Weekend in L.A." album release in 1979 live at the Roxy.
@@charlessmith263 it was 1978
Best piano solos of George Benson band in all times : Jorgito Dalto
That bend at 3:52... So wonderfully placed. A real tension resolver.
was already a huge fan of his guitar playing... had no idea he had more to offer!
Dieses " Breezin " von George Benson ist großartig. Jede Version für sich. Könnte man ständig durchlaufen lassen. Endlos
Perhaps the best period !
Great performer and always smooth dresser.
rees david
Dalto, a great talent.My fav. pianist/musician then and now

Espectacular, primera vez que lo oigo... Juro que escuché 10 segundos y supe que valía la pena escucharlo toda la vida
Coincido plenamente con vos 😃👍
Perfekt Georg 👍👍👍
Yeah he is a great singer, and you know what, it’s really hard to sing like that live when there’s a lot of energy flying around. Fair play George.
Boa noite muito bom 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

"thoughts of leaving disappear every time I see your eyes..... no matter how hard I try". Always cripples me, ouch. Gorgeous tune, but painful.
Que grandisimo músico de jazz completo que wings desprende del interior del alma como cautiva y como cuenta la melodia una perfección llena de magia de elegancia y de profesionalidad
Amazing! Masquerade is one of the sickest songs ever!
Jorge Dalto - piano
Stanley Banks - bass
Harvey Mason - drums
Ronnie Foster - keyboards
drums = Dennis Davies, not Harvey Mason
I did not know that, thank you!
Its Not Harvey on Drums
@Jessica Sinclair Papailoa Beach Hawaii ... Or Carl Weather 😂😂😂
Forgot Jorge Dalto piano
Dennis Davis the greatest little unknow talent
Thank you for uploading this wonderful video George Benson is one of My favorite jazz musicians of all time 🙏🏾
Magnifique Bravo George!
Maestro!

@@znmaf different styles, yes they are great along with many others.
Excellent rendition!
A poweri performance by all 👌👌👌👍🥂
I saw them in Feb in Masschusetts in 1977.Gb's wife took me and my ex backstage to meet him! He was using the Ibanez Johhny Smith copy then.
Ronnie Foster on the keyboards. I think he used the Arp String Ensemble and the Moog keyboards at the same time. The Arp String keyboard was common in the 1970s not just for jazz fusion - but heavily used in 1970s disco.
sempre fantastico!
amazing musicianship
Classic!!!
The Master...Tremendous🎶🎶🎶
Top ten song!
Wow, this is so beautiful. Could it be possible to find more of this show?
Masterful 🎸🏆🐐👑
Guitar hero
I so much love D Guitar
He's been playing his Ibanez model for almost 40 yrs.
I got one it was gb10em
George Benson and Jorge Delto, they were perfect musical parters. Sadly for Delto to die so early when his career just got recognised.
benson sings and play and its too easy ! lol ! and he still !
Many people don't know that the late great Bobby Womack wrote Breezin.
You are so good eh!!!!
Hermoso 😃😍
At the start of this tune I got associations with Dancing Queen.
👏🏻⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🙌🏻

La más melódica de Benson quizá muy hábil con las octavas
01 - Breezin' 00:01
02 - Gonna Love You More 04:36
03 - This Masquerade 08:58
Mr.Jorge Dalto piano
For some reason watching GB, reminds me of Eddie Murphy
Brooklyn Brothers - Apple Juice
If you people like this version check out the version live also with Ray Charles and Chaka Khan on You tube better than this
Check out the original by Gabor Szabo written by Bobby Womack a much mellower, less over-produced groove.
wow. didnt know they have their version too
Gaaf man, hoe kom je daar aan? Bestonden er toen al videorecorders?
🚣♀️🏞️🦇🏖️
Is Jorge dalton in piano ?
Jane wore those pants
High no line panties
Boots ankle high
Blouse jewellery lots
Night club make up
Cash
Taxi
The guitar followed the voice... Not the opposite
I just always wish the singing would end and he'd play the guitar
karl williams typical non-musician guitar-fan comment.
SSVplus non musician lol touche! It's not that, I'm just not a fan of his singing voice is all.
karl williams It's jazz singing you dumbass.
+karl williams You just showed why you don't need to listen to Benson! Master Musician and Vocalist!!!!!!!!!!!!

where's the kick drum?
:-) :-) :-)
If stevie played guitar!
Beautiful playing aside, those are the weirdest pants i've ever seen lol
THat nose was glorious in its origin ,I wish you didn't change it .Anyway your choice
Wow, the mix went from terrible (all drums) to not-too-bad in the first minute of the tune!
Wow, he does economy picking. Thought did alternate.
Knowing what we Don t know Cuomo back in on the act Cooper lemon
His high E string is sharp. Everytime he hits it it bugs me out all those good riffs spoiled by an out of tune string.
you have acute hearing perfect pitch?
He’s A Master respect that.....he’s forgotten more than you’ll ever know....Peace
@@tubelessronniee You were there right? Good memories of the tour?
Even GB's errors are correct, but that snare and reverb are waaaay too loud in the mix!
Very bad recording..!
