Smokey Robinson still got the pipes at 84. Wow! Just wow!
I saw him in concert last year. He’s amazing and so funny too. It felt ethereal almost. I’m sure I saw a glow around him lol.
I was depressed for a long time, and I looked so useless and bad. This music helps me relieve fatigue and stress
Smokey and Sheila E were spectacular!
👍
Thank you all entertainers, service people and fellow Americans who were there. I enjoyed it as I do every Fourth of July. Happy holiday all!❤
🎉
Smokey Robinson at 84 yo was awesome, an inspiration for us older folks.
Happy birthday America ❤please vote 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
Thank you for the gift of freedom America!
Fantasia sang the Star Spangled Banner like a gospel song. It was expressed with so much heart. I almost cried.
In early Capitol Fourth telecasts, when the fireworks go boom, you sadly miss the grand finale. In recent Capital Fourths like this one, you see the WHOLE FIREWORK SHOW - ALL THE WAY TO THE GRAND FINALE ITSELF!
Happy birthday To You, Happy Birthday To You! Happy Birthday, Dear America! Happy Birthday To You!
It’s also the 65th Anniversary of Motown
My Girl, one of most beautiful american songs ever.
Such a classic!
I wish to commend whoever was responsible for the production of this year show. The way you showed the fireworks was fantastic
Way better than Macy's! I was disappointed 😔
Loved the oldies!!! Sheila e killed it all kinds of ways and remains untouchable❤❤❤ song: This is my country...!! Brilliant!!
The entire show was simply awesome.!!!
My Dad was in Korea. My husband’s uncle was in World War 2! ❤❤ RIP!🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thanks for their service!
I hope everyone in America has had a Happy Fourth of July 2024🧨🎉
What an awesome shot of the clarinet player in that intro
Happy 4th of July! United States 🇺🇸 of America!
So wonderful to see all of the happy Americans.
It was great! Great performances and tributes!
I wholeheartedly agree!
Long Live Our Freedom! This program made be proud to be an American again and forget for awhile all the turmoil we are going through and the freedoms we are losing.
Since you went there, I’d rather be given what’s right than have the “freedom” to do what’s wrong.
@@RhiscFactor what makes you so sure that will get what's right as you say there's no guarantee that the dictator will give us anything he's already said he wants to be dictator on day one don't kid yourself he means it he didn't want to leave the last time he was put in the White House what makes you think he's going to want to leave this time at all
Wonderful! Thank you,PBS , for bringing to us especially this year!!
Smokey Robinson singing that soulful, slowed down version of Tracks of My Tears is everything ❤
Bravo Fantasia! 👏🏾
This makes more determine to stand for democracy and true meaning of our flag and sacrifices made .
America. We are one gotdammit. Don’t forget who you are. We are better than this. We are Americans!! Happy birthday 🇺🇸
😂 Your curse…I hear ya tho
HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Smokey is still smokin hot sound great too

Smokey is 84 ? Wow! He still has it. That voice hasn’t changed.
That was Fabulous!
Happy Birthday, America
Hi
Hello jack
This was awesome. The musicians delivered big time: Sister Sledge, Sheila E, Smokey, LOREN, et. al; my fave was ROSIE, the pianist who killed it on Gershwin!!! Ribiero, dude, you have GOT to do this annually. You were made for this!!
I have the SMART BEST view ever....it was BEAUTIFUL....Happy Birthday America...👍🙏🙌
Fantasia can sing any genre. She is the Queen of Songs 👑
Happy birthday America to enjoy your Independence annual freedom
Smokey Robinson looks great! Jazzy! And sounds great! Loveyou Smokey! ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉Alphonso always delivers ❤
Except for the red shoes
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, AMERICA! 1776-2024.

Yay! Even if I am too old to know some of these artists, but smoky Robinson? The military band. I am a fan of pbs this amazing country! 😊
Great Show ! Love Sheila E , Smoky and our host’s performances
Rhapsody In Blue by George Gershwin, timeless masterpiece.
Happy 100th Anniversary!
❤❤❤
Rhapsody in Blue is my favorite piece of music. George Gershwin, one of a kind!❤
I think this Pianist should do it every year. She was phenomenal.
Beautiful! America we’ve got to come together and protect our beautiful nation!
Rosie 🌹🇺🇸 The pianist was great.
Thank you.
This was highly enjoyable and moving. Well done and thank you to all who put this together. Happy 4th of July, everyone!

What a great proformence and Happy Birthday America! ❤💙
This is must-see TV on the 4th of July for everyone in my family. I have always wanted to be their live and it's on my bucket list as one of the few things I would really like to see live and in person. Kudos to PBS!
Same
Happy 4th of July everyone!🎉🎉🎉🎉🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I loved this. Alphonso is a little obnoxious. It took me back to music class and the patriotic songs we learned. I miss that time in my life. Funny, it didn’t mean to me then, what it means now.🇺🇸❤
He’s a showman, the best they’ve had in years. Would you prefer a corpse?!
He did his best be kind ❤
He didn't do the 'Carlton' dance, which made it a great presentation.
❤ThAT WAS THE MOST SPECTACULAR EXTENDED FUREWIRKS SHOW I HAVE SEEN IN DECADES!!! WELL DONE AMERICA ❤❤
I was down there. It was awesome.
How early did you have to get there?
Sheila E. put on her percussion fireworks! And of course, the "1812 Overture" with cannons and more fireworks made a "Capitol Fourth" much more American-ly patriotic on that 4th...........
Enjoy this as much as you can now, campers; would not surprise me in the least if my beloved PBS no longer exists next July 4.
I like the instrumental music in here.🎉
For anyone who values and appreciates PBS broadcasting this production each year, I highly recommend donating to your local PBS station
PERFECTLY STATED
ALL THAT A PERSON GETS thru PBS is outstanding!!!!
Happy Independence Day 🎇🎆!
Happy 4th of July 2024🎉❤
She killed it!!!❤❤👏👏👏
So excited to watch Loren Allred perform!
I don't know who that is, but I have an open mind. Never watched dancing with the stars. But I don't care!
@@lorrie2878 Loren isn’t from Dancing With the Stars
I would have wanted to see all the branches of the military do their pass or march as the culmination of the show just like in the previous years. It was more focused on the entertainers and performances.
They ran out of time. I think it was planned, but ⏰
🇺🇲🌊🇺🇲🌊🇺🇲🌊🇺🇲🌊🇺🇲🌊🇺🇲🌊🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🎆🎇✨forever free!!!
Smoky Robinson!
America , Happy Birthday 🎉🎉.
Loreen Allred is wonderful beautiful lady 🥰❤, and amazing singer with a perfect voice ❤. Love her so much ❤ !
I loved watching Smokey Robinson! He's 84 and still amazing! 🎉❤🎉❤
happy birthday America ❤ please vote
🇺🇸 USA
They start the fireworks too early. They used to be synched with the William Tell Overture. Otherwise great show! As an ex pat I am glad they put this on TH-cam now. I used to have to hunt for it.
I had the priivilege of being there in person this year
Was AMAZING
wow
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸♥️
Everyone was fantastic
HaPPy 4th of JuLy 2024 ... USA ...........
Yes Fantasia!!!!!🎉❤🎉❤
YOU CUT OFF THE END OF THE GREATEST TUNE IN AMERICAN HISTORY!!! MY HEART IS ACHING!
Huh?
The Stars and Stripes Forever by John Philip Sousa. Google it. I’m guessing you are not a musician. This is the greatest military march in the history of the USA and musicians LOVE IT!! In this program the Military Band played many of the great military marches and they saved The Stars and Stripes for last - just to be cutoff before the ending that inspires people to jump up with love for the USA.

Phenomenal!
Thank you so much for sharing for those of us who had to put our babies to bed and miss it!!! 🎉🎉🎉 I love you Alfonso!!! Fresh Prince of Bel Air OG fan FOR LIFE!!!
I watched this last night, as I do every year, but tuned in a half-hour late. I waited for it to re-air so I could see the beginning, but as soon as it started, we got a storm here & my electric went out for over 2 hours!🙄 So glad it's on TH-cam so I could finally see what I missed. Loved Smokey, as always & "Rhapsody in Blue" was exquisite. DC must have had an overabundance of red fireworks this year!
Absolutely beautiful! Thank you 🙏
🎉🎇🎆 happy 4th of July everyone!!!
