oh man... these guys are so great. I saw them twice in Portland. The first time, Charles Bradley was weeping onstage at the end of the show, he was so full of gratitude and emotion at the love in the room, and the success he finally found with music. Never seen a singer feel it so fully like that. And he had the room enraptured, it was like going to church. The man has a message of love to share, and he is putting it out there with so much true feeling and presence. I cannot recommend seeing them live enough... its such a beautiful thing!
Benno Lyon got here to late to see him live but your testimony is so great that I think I have a pretty good idea of what it could be... Tank you. Ps: he was coming to Portugal for a concert but canceled because was very ill already..
I love how just before Charles goes on and he's asked if he's ready to do his first song, he just quietly answer's "yes." And then, it's "WHEEEENNN YOUUU TTOUUUCCCHHH MMEEEE BABBBYYYY!" Just so much passion...and...eargasm.
1. The band is incredible. 2. Charles Bradley- Always giving it 110%, He sings with so much emotion, I'm surprised he doesn't just pass out after each song.
I just want to give this man, Mr. Charles Bradley a big hug. His pain is so palpable, and his voice just carries such a vibrantly beautiful sound. Menahan Street band are the perfect musical and creative backing for that screaming eagle of soal to soar.
Right? I feel a little bit offended when I listen to some nowadays music. I mean, I respect to the people who listen to that kind of music (almost all my friends xD), but sometimes it hurt me...
I love this band. They have such soul. and such influence. the addition of Charles just makes it that much better. I will never stop listening to this band.
OMG, Lord have mercy! What a voice! He sounds like those amazing legendary soul singers in the sixties! This is what music is all about; pure, honest, soul and straight from the heart! He `s had a hard life, but still he kept going and believe "A change is gonna come". Your brother Joseph is looking down from heaven! Mr. Charles Bradley stay as sweet as you are and may the Lord bless you, watch over you and keep you and your family safe!!!! May the blessing of light be upon you!!!!
What a pleasure randomly finding this video, seing the first part and recognizing few faces from the band the arcs. In three face you can clearly heard the beginings of the arcs' style
love seeing the guys in this band play with so many outfits, Sharon Jones and The Dap Kings, Antibalas, Amy Winehouse, Budos Band - so many artists use these guys and they always tear it up.
for a while, listening to this band, i was amazed by the guitarist's flawless tone... only to come to realize this entire band is sooooo tight!!! charles bradley is amazing. as is the menahan street band.
Immediately I looked for videos of Charles Bradley on TH-cam and heard all the day so many songs of this great singer. Congratulations Mr Bradley. I noticed that you sang in "Virada Cultural" in Sao Paulo, unfortunatelly I have not saw you. I will expect your returno to Brazil. I honestly suggest: Play and sing at "Bourbon Street Music Club", the best place of soul, R&B, and Black Music of São Paulo (maybe of Brazil). Regards, Neto (an lover of good world music).
The band plays together SO well. Which makes Mr. Bradley sound so good. That's stuff you learn as a musician from experience. I hope to see this amazing group live one day before I die.
I had the privilege of seeing them that night at Neumo's... A near-to religious experience, just incredible. He's not only an amazingly talented vocalist but a truly kind and wonderful human to boot! At one point he invited a couple up on stage so the man could propose! All while Charles sang of love and devotion... One of the most incredible nights I have ever had!
Dear mister Bradley, yesterday nicght we was jammin'our guitars for a few hours. and then we decided to find weird and obscure music on youtube.. Then we hit KEXP....and there was you with the menahan street band........we spontaneusly forgot to drink our beers..and just watched the whole performance whitout a blink of an eye..... WE ARE SO IMPRESSED BY YOU!! so thanx for singing, Tom Verkooijen, from Holland
Thanks to bring us that music, soul always been special to me, that's always a great emotion to hear somebody like Mr Charles Bradley sing this way, we're blessed, many thanks for this great upload.
Man i miss him. I even blacked out his death at one point. This man brought soul back. Him and Lee Fields are amazing. I saw twice Charles and would have loved to see him a 3rd time
I heard Charles singing at the Love supreme jazz festival last weekend and he was my highlight, I had to to get closer - Incredible voice- hope to catch Charles in London in october

Hello Everyone and specially Mr Bradley (I hope that you read this). Today I've read about Charles Bradley in a famous Brazilian Journal (O Estado de São Paulo), I've been impressionated with his history and I asked to myself: "How can a person with a great talent like this lived anonimous for 62 years?".

Thank you for sharing your memories Benno Lyon. I didn't get to see him before he passed. Feeling a bit misty just reading your review.
I love how just before Charles goes on and he's asked if he's ready to do his first song, he just quietly answer's "yes." And then, it's "WHEEEENNN YOUUU TTOUUUCCCHHH MMEEEE BABBBYYYY!" Just so much passion...and...eargasm.

Had last weekend Pukkelpop 2013 and was directly thinking again on Pukkelpop 2012 where they have played. Reason why I start to listen to this again.
Love you Charles
CB is the man! So glad we were able to film him for WGBH Music.

these guys make good music. love the make the road by walking album, and the crossing.
How am I just finding this band?????????!!!!!!!
Amazing Hi-Hat placement on that kit.
Charles was the most gracious, loving and kind live performer that I've witnessed! We are blessed to have him share his soul with us.

That organ just gives the band such a tone. Love it

O cara era o máximo! Voz impactante
Pure feeling!! Pure blood!!!! VIVA Charles Bradley n Band!!!
Brenneck's notes rules and, yes, of course, Charles, there's no one like him.
I heard Charles singing at the Love supreme jazz festival last weekend and he was my highlight, I had to to get closer - Incredible voice- hope to catch Charles in London in october
Bobby Womack, James Brown and Otis Redding all in one amazing package :-)
Amazing band and Singer, doenload your Music right now!
I never met him, i never even heard him play live. but i miss him everytme i hear his soul.
Music for the soul.
Wicked group! Get both albums on vinyl if you can. The sound is amazing.
That guitarplayer knows how to play with a band instead of in a band.
+Kredeidi It's an old comment, but what do you mean by that? (I'm not musical in the least...hah)
+bsedhs he actually tries to communicate with others. And he responds to them in his playing. Most musicians focus on their own performance.
Ahhh, very neat :D
You're right about that. That's some real musicianship.
Youre talking about Thomas Brenneck who is not only a great musician but also the co-writer on a lot of Charles Bradleys music. The dude has soul
That guitar is so gorgeous!
This man is pure emotion.
por fin subieron la sesión completa! nice dudes this is awesome!!!
echarles brad ley ❤️😘🥰🥰🥰🥰😁💋💋💋💋💯👍Se me pone la piel chinita al escuchar esa gran voz... 💋😁🥰Quisiera saber el lugar donde estas para escucharte en vivo pero creo q si estoy halgo lejos.... De ti...

Kind of wish he was mixed a tad bit higher in the mix tbh, although as it is it's actually just right.
amazing band.
