James Brown - "Mother Popcorn" (Live Music Scene 1969)

40th Anniversary Collection

Mother Popcorn

James Brown back when he was young and fresh. His band is tight beyond belief. The highlight for me is seeing how he and tenorman Maceo Parker work together towards the end.When they recorded the studio track, you can hear James call for Maceo but then they fade. Now we can see what we were missing.

magnumsax says This clip is fantastic! When I discovered it on Youtube about a year ago I was astounded. The clip truly shows just how powerful a performer James Brown was. He's a performer who found his voice (albeit one that tends to scream, but Coltrane could scream too!) and is not afraid to use it. It's nice to hear funky Tenor solo by Maceo as well. I can only imagine how fantastic it would've been to see JB live - 2 drummers, tight horns, JB conducting the whole thing from the mic - Ow!!!

Bartleby says I can but acquiesce with Magnumsax said above. Maceo's solo gives me goose bumps. And James Brown is such a showman too. Thanks again for finding gems like this for our enjoyment.
