James Brown was too smooth and too cool nobody was out doing him he was way ahead everybody in the music industry during his time. The God father of soul can never be duplicated
THE FUNK ORIGINATOR !!!! Church drummers, there’s nothing wrong with chops, shredding, and fancy stick work, but some times holding a steady groove on the drums speaks volumes ! The song Eyesight Live is a perfect example of how the drummer just kept it the pocket and was just as affective as a drummer who’s all over the drums! 🥁
Its was the beginning of the end for Brown because of disco. His last hit record in1979 was Too Funky in Here, Was all downhill after that until Rocky III's Living in America brought up back.
Great performance, though "Can't Stand It" doesn't actually begin until 7:19 (preceded by "Cold Sweat" at 6:04), including a dynamite drum solo torward the end.
A great great DVD , maybe not technically . Audience not mixed in yo the visuals , what a shame .This really is: EYESIGHT / I CAN'T STAND MYSELF (WHEN YOU TOUCH ME)
