D'Angelo at AFROPUNK FEST 2014 [FULL SET] 

The dude yelling for Brown Sugar is the 'Freebird Guy' of D'Angelo shows

This MF covered "Lucifers love". A funkadelic classic!!!!!!

Still can't believe I saw this live

He’s celebrating and paying homage to those who paved the way for him. Those who have inspired him and molded his sound. He’s a melting pot of those before him and is respecting those who made it possible for an AFROPUNK like himself to exist.

I like when artist refuse to be put in a box. Talent. Real talent is unpredictable and ever expanding. D'Angelo is the ish! :D

Its 2024 and seeing this for the first time is therapy for me.

the Bob Marley cover was genius

1:17 (7:16) - "Miss Lucifer's Love" Funkadelic 9:49 - "Satisfy" Funkadelic 12:14 - "Burnin' And Lootin'" Bob Marley 18:51 - "No Head No Backstage Pass" Funkadelic 22:48 - "Greatdayndamornin' Booty" D'Angelo 27:15 - "Our Love Has Died" Ohio Players 34:15 - "Thankful And Thoughtful" Sly and the Family Stone 41:11 - "Black Flowers" Fishbone 48:20 - "She's Always in My Hair" Prince copied from collin m :)

D'Angelo played the covers for a reason. Of course, he wasn't ready to showcase what he had stored (Black Messiah). Not only does these covers represent the whole creative process but to give you a dose of where he was gonna go with Black Messiah. What he did on Black Messiah of course was soulful but it was a progression of Funk and Rock! This set represents that! If you don't understand this set then it's possible you won't understand Black Messiah. Cause the Funk or Chocolate Rock direction is where he's at right now.

1. Intro (Third Stone From The Sun - Jimi Hendrix) 2. Miss Lucifer’s Love (Funkadelic cover) 3. Burnin’ and Lootin’ (Bob Marley & The Wailers cover) 4. No Head No Backstage Pass (Funkadelic cover) 5. Greatdayndamornin’ 6. Our Love Has Died (Ohio Players cover) 7. Thankful n’ Thoughtful (Sly & The Family Stone cover) 8. Black Flowers (with Angelo Moore) (Fishbone cover) 9. She’s Always In My Hair (Prince cover)

This is the best concert video on YT imo, I watch it at least once every few months. A great band covering some of the most underrated black music ever created, plus one underrated D'Angelo joint thrown in for good measure. The groove on "Burnin' & Lootin'" is worth the price of admission alone.

This show felt so insane live. It felt like butterflies were rushing up and down and through my soul. It's truly inexplicable. I got all of my life. I really really hope he goes on a tour of some sorts because I want to feel it again.

You all can put your phones down, the video is on RU-vid.

The Ohio Players cover is nuts! You don't hear R&B dudes with that old school growl anymore. High pitch soft voices can be nice, but there's nothing like that growl, that emotion.

D'Angelo & The Roots August 23, 2014 Brooklyn, NY @ Afropunk Festival Intro (inc. Third Stone From The Sun tease) > Miss Lucifer’s Love [Funkadelic cover] > Machine Gun tease > Burnin’ and Lootin’ [Bob Marley cover] No Head No Backstage Pass [Funkadelic] > Greatdayinamornin’ Our Love Has Died [Ohio Players] Thankful N' Thoughtful [Sly & The Family Stone] Black Flowers (ft. Angelo Moore of Fishbone) She’s Always in My Hair [Prince] D'Angelo - vocals, keys Questlove - drums Frank Knuckles - percussion Kirk Douglas - guitar, vocals Mark Kelley - bass Jermaine Holmes - Vocals Ahrel Lumzy - Vocals Guests: Angelo Moore - vocals, theremin

All those UNTHANKFUL demands of "Brown Sugar"... I thoroughly enjoyed that they went into "THANKFUL" "Ya'lls Oughta Be.... THANKFUL!" Perfect.

burnin + lootin SOO GOOD

D' angelo bringing the Black Music Genre back full Circle and speaking to the Masses, the Culture. Hope they can hear him!

This version of Burning and Looting is out of this world.

It’s 2021 and this is the coolest thing I’ve seen...🔥🔥🔥 af

wow it is UNREAL how much Questlove is driving the bus here. Awesome to witness

Totally got chills hearing them perform "Black Flowers" D'Angelo looks like he's having the most fun…love it.

I come back to this every few months usually around the same time late at night #soulrefresh

If you are a REAL fan of any artist, you don't care about what they play, when you get to see them live. And in this particular case, the set is MASSIVE, so if all you can think about is shouting out requests, you have no passion for music, you are just one of the many music -fashion victims. Experiencing this sort of musicianship live should be a privilege. Complainers, stay home and play a David Hasselhoff cd (no offence to David )

I can listen to D'Angelo 24 hours!!

d'angelo ain't your average pop singer. he doesn't take requests. this was also a free show, so he doesn't owe anybody shit. the fact that he was playing this killer fucking set was already amazing. i was there at this show, and i had an amazing time and was blown away as usual. he did show up a whole hour late tho hahaha so that was the only part i wasn't too happy about

Gawd damn! "Black Flowers" is so intense! Sounds like a personal anthem for all involved. AMAZING!

Just can't stop to replay "our love has died"...

I was privileged to be at this set, and doubly privileged to get to experience it again

Wait wait wait.... Angelo Moore & D'Angelo sang a Fishbone song together? That validates so many things at once I can't even wrap my head around it. SO happy

d'angelo!!!!! fucking brilliant!!!

Dude did Greatdayndamornin'. Not sure if/when/how many times he's performed that song live. That was good damn enough for me.

Bring It!!! The Funk that Is D'Angelo brings it all! Don't get no funkier than D PFunk that was then D' is now

i think imma cry damn its way too fucking cool

this band man.... like no other!

Through his own extraordinary talent, D'Angelo weaves that everlasting thread from his forebears to us, now. We all ought to be thankful for this powerful music. He picks up the howling wind of the American struggle, feels the beating of the ancient heart which all colours hear, and sings so that we all might feel free.

he may or may not have played his "hits" but this concert is outstanding!!! captain kirk is on fire!!

Get ready to experience pure genius...

I love how D'angelo went outside the box with his music...his audience expanded and he sounds great and looks great...that's a real musician...i wish I was there!!!:-(

this is feeding my soul in a way that is indescribable..that INTRO!! WHEEEEWWWWW!!!

That groove for "No head no backstage pass" was infectious... I just love how quest dragged the beat and the bass was just locked in thats some real shit right there.

i remember there was something wrong with the sound system or something. we stood there for an hour when D was supposed to come on at like 8. we just stood and waited. everybody was getting antsy and annoyed not because we had to wait, but because no one said anything about the reason why. And then Captain Kirk came out. Quest came out after him. and then there he was. all the anger and frustration from before disappeared in an instant. it was one of the best shows I'd ever been to.

This show would have been memorable for his version of Funkadelic's "No Head No Backstage Pass" alone, but all of it was off the chain. I can't believe there were people complaining because he didn't play "Brown Sugar". I'm sure D'Angelo is as tired of playing that song as Prince is tired of playing "Purple Rain". Some people need to listen to more music than what they play on the radio and appreciate it when artists do something a little different for you live.

What a treat to hear Angelo Moore on stage with Questlove and D'angelo! That said...woof...rough. Obviously it was a rough show sound-wise, given the nature of the festival. Still loved that performance!

Great!!! I love it. Killer Band!!! Real Black Rock!! paying homage to black Rockers like Mothers Finest, P Funk!

Black Flowers Though!! With the Theremin THOUGH!! #done This is funKdamental, some of yall just won't get it. That's ok. Just stay in school, you'll learn eventually!!

This is the single most funky performance of no head no backstage pass ever

this show always reminds me of the importance of "roots" (of whatever, could be spirit, culture, dream). this may not be d's very best ever, but this is so full of that about to be the best, explosion. true inspiration, man, true inspiration.

i was there! what this video doesn't show is the hour he kept us waiting after his scheduled time. but it was well worth it

Great Show! Angelo Moore

Cool to see D'Angelo with a B3 upfront and centre. I'd love to hear even more.

Great Great Great

The background singers are cold as fuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Str8 holding it down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dangerous!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is great.

D’Angelo is truly one of the greatest of all time thankful for his music

Anybody else notice the guitar quoting "Africa Talks to You" during "Thankful and Thoughtful?"

What a crowd, man, what a crowd...

Amazing! I wish he would do these covers in a studio album! There is NO one quite like D'Angelo! His voice and his music are important. Especially nowadays where we there is an absence of true musicians and art in what is called "music."

I'm glad you guys made it happen for my brother.

Bloody hell... I enjoyed that. Roll on Manchester in a couple of weeks :)

Dude always ahead of his time. This music speaks to NOW

Love his keyboard rig setup...looks awesome!!!!

so fucking stoked to be seeing him and the vanguard at ATL afropunk this year. bought my ticket this morning.

The groove on Burnin and lootin tonight is SICK!

I looove D'Angelo songs, and I love when he sings the songs of others too. Makes me rediscover he's a awsome SINGER!

I always come back to this video. If only they could put out a live Vanguard record!

i love that these guys jam some funkadelic

he gave me so much life... I swear I love D'angelo... He is a musical genius

Hot set. Paying homage to some serious B-Side tracks esp....The Funkadelics! Lovely.

Indeed, D'Angelo

Opening jam is Third Stone From the Sun by Jimi Hendrix. Spectacular set, thanks for sharing.

he is awsome

D'angelo is a freaking GENIOUS!!!!! That is all!!!!

SHES ALWAYS IN MY HAIR ...... YESSSSS

Just got done watching 'Finding the Funk' so of course I had to come here. Wow. Great band and love that he pays homage to this predecessors.

Now THIS is my favourite upload of 2015 bar none. Thank you. Long live Afro Punk!!!!

D'Angelo is just the troubadour artist most high!

Damn damn damn that Thankful & Thoughtful cover gave me the funkiest face.

This concert video was incredible!! Also, a theremin solo by Angelo Moore on 'Black Flowers'?!! So awesome!!

What the bawls i never saw this

The fact the grown men yelling out request like they at a DJ booth is annoying

Great Performance

That "Black Flowers" was amazing. They ripped that. I'm glad to see Angelo has all that energy still.

I remember listening to "Black Flowers" by Fishbone on repeat for damn near a week! It's always been one of my favorites. D'angelo is on fire as usual'

... I was there & it was Awesome !! ...

What an inspired interpretation of Burnin and Lootin. Never heard it this way before

Man, i like the present vintage of d' much better then 15 years ago........he's no longer worried about how cute he's looking / sounding, he's going for it DEEP down from the soul..............d' & bilal are just killin it

I was at this event. D'Angelo is Bad Ass !

32:11 is magical. The way D signals Questlove into the break. Then Questlove’s stick skills here are next level. Then Captain Kirk makes the Bass literally cry.

They killed

YES!!

Greatdayindamornin LIVE... YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

I Love whatever he sing. His vocal talent is off the chain. Great Musician.

I wanna go this year.
