Harry said in one of his interviews that some audiences were told to stay seated - annoyed the hell out of him!!! He was all for everybody getting up and dancing!!! 🕺💃🕺💃
@@User-x5s3xYes! Many venues in the 70s still made audiences sit during shows. A lot of these theatres hosted musicals and old school artists like Sinatra, etc. They had ushers that asked you to sit or you had to leave.😂❤
Without a dance floor. Back then tour management sent bands out, as if everyone would behave at ‘carpenters show’. Bands show up at some dusty hall where one outlet might have electricity. I don’t know if electricity strips’ (10 plug in’s) were even invented yet.
1975 is when my boyfriend and I graduated. Went together at age 16. Married at 22. Few yrs later 2 beautiful girls. My beloved husband passed away at 47 from a heart attack. I never remarried cuz he was my one and only true love. 💕 I remember all these wonderful songs!! Good times and memories. Disco time 💃💕💖 KC was good looking then!!
@@yvonneserrano738: Yes, I have to agree. Harry has always been very handsome - even now, when he's put on quite a bit of weight. He's still as beautiful inside, as he always was!
The bass guitarist handling his business. Three beautiful ladies backing it up. The guy in the turban taking it to another level. And KC--the funkiest white dude on the planet. Love it.
Very easy to dismiss KC and the Sunshine Band as disco flash-in-the-pans, but these guys (and ladies!) sound great! No studio trickery here, just a great live band. They could bring it!
They certainly were no disco flash-in-the-pans. He still performs live shows even 45 years later now in 2023. In the UK they had around 15 hits from '74 onwards & even a no 1 in '83 with 'Give It Up'. I know in the US they were absolutely huge & had five no 1's during their string of hits that went well into the 80's. KC was also busy producing George McCrea who himself had a good run of hits for ten years or so, including his no 1 single 'Rock Your Baby' which has been recognised as Disco's first no 1single. He was and still is a forerunner of the Disco explosion & so rightly deserved the phenomenal worldwide success that the band enjoyed. So to say they were flash in the pans is really a bit of an insult considering how much KC & the Sunshine Band contributed to the happy generation of Disco. The guy deserves a freekin' medal.
Hot damn!! KC and the band always brought it! I'll always love this man. I always wanted to be 15 years older so that I could go to Woodstock and this Miami concert❣️
Amen ! i was just reminiscing about how much i miss the real good ole days. real people, real music, real fun. YES a Boat load of Coke, but hey. like The "God Father" said Livin in America!
I've listened to them since I was a kid, but tomorrow will be the first time I'll see them live in Doswell, Virginia...!! My dreams are coming true...!!! A rock hug for everyone...!!
I just want to know who are the freaking idiots that gave this a thumbs down as a bass player myself the bass player was killing it if you gave this a thumbs down you must be young and like that crap they call music today
You should see the crazy looks I got when I told young people I was going to see KC in August. I blame their parents, I grew up listening to everything from Boston Pops to Lynn Anderson, to Ray Charles and Elvis.
I don't think many thought KCaTSB would be timeless in 1975. We were overwhelmed with great music from all around. Very pleased that their music has proven to be timeless and still uplifting. They've persevered and are still touring through 2023; nearly 50 years after this 1975 concert.
Woweeeee everybody❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Absolutely amazing! - I am so happy to re live those majestic moments on Saturday the 27th of July 2024 & Their Outfits, wow! New South Wales, Australia 💖💝🌺💝💖💝🌺
Hialeah IN DA HOUSE!! I went to high school with KC and he sold me MANY records when he worked at Recordsville (yes, that really was the name of the record store). The UNDISPUTED King of Funky Disco!! And yes, GIVE IT UP FOR THE MUSICIANS - THEY'RE THE BEST!! Nudie made the FABULOUS outfits!!
…a mid seventies Fender Jazz Bass coming through an Ampeg SVT bass rig. This is absolute music to my ears. Much of the appeal of this act are the neat and tidy bass figures - and I feel many didn’t even realize it. People react to a easy, funky beat by dancing - not realizing that it’s the bass they’re dancing to! (Well, the drums come first.) That’s the thing with us bass players…we’re secretly in control of the entire operation. All I hear in this film is bass and I love it. It’s so freakin good. Finch exhibits a great amount of discipline in his playing. As I listen here I’m playing all kinds of fills in my head…all the while Richard just keeps to the root. He’s a true pro - and co-wrote their biggest hits!
KC at his prime in75. This band is WORKING IT Y'ALL! I was a 21 year old sailor stationed in Seattle when I first heard this at a disco. Us brothers was saying THIS WHITE BOY IS GETTING DOWN SHIT!

This must have been before "Que Pasa" and "Queen of Clubs" Love 😘 the originals. I saw him in the early 90's Music track, him in two African American ladies. He was lip syncing and danced a few vulgar moves. I left before it was even over. Wasted time.
No two ways about it, the Sunshine band were a bunch of bad Mothers!!!! whoo !! they all complimented each other so awesomely! Good times in better days!
They killed it....70's Greatest era of all times....When racism were at an all time low....For the most part, everybody got along...50 years later, all gone to hell...So glad I was born to witness such greatness as KC, and many others during this time
Racism only seems greater today because the media makes a big ordeal out of essentially nothing. That is why it is important to get away from such news outlets such as CNN and MSNBC. They are controlled by the globalists that have an agenda. "Racism" is a political tool to control the masses. If anything, there are probably more successful black people who are succeeding and thriving today than ever before.
💯🙌🏻🎯🔥 couldn’t agree more. I was only a child when this concert happened. Definitely don’t remember as much hate happening back then compared to today’s time. Well, since the late 2000’s, Specifically 2008 till today’s time. A certain president is the cause of such division. 2008-2016.
Una SUPER BANDA, los que tuvieron el privilegio de estar en este concierto nunca lo olvidaran, baile sus canciones cientos de veces en las fiestas Disco y hasta ahora lo sigo en sus conciertos, felicitaciones a KC.
not often good music comes around and stays awhile, it is so good that it stays etched in memory...then here comes mankind and assigns a genre to it....disco, dance, funk, jazz, ☠👹...just call it great music!
Oh yes I definitely remember that concert , and that’s when I fell inlove with Mr. Harry Wayne Casey soulful vocal singing style And his sexy persona ❤❤❤❤❤
Gorgeous bass playing, great guitar, the drummer is on point and damn the horn players can dance! Wicked show and notice how the crowd slowly shifted from fairly reserved 'seat groovers' to full on 'get down' mode as the concert moved along?....
I NEVER hear them on the radio anymore, you have to go to RU-vid to hear them. I DO remember how popular they were in the mid 70's, but I feel they're a little "forgotten".
Started out a bit shaky with the bass not working. As they move through the set, they light a fire. Man that back line is smoking hot. Such a great band. Fantastic backing vocals and those horns are incredible. Casey is real solid. Oh to have been there.
Got the chance to see them perform in Charlotte North Carolina in 1977 I was 17 years old this brings back so many wonderful memories I met a lot of new friends in line waiting to get in the concert I was living in South Carolina so this was a treasured moment for me
Thanks to whoever uploaded this show. It’s great to see an actual concert from KC and the Sunshine Band from back in the day. So put on your Boogie Shoes and get down tonight. That Horn section is amazing!
A funky bass line,the guitar has a rockabilly blue-grass funk feel to it.The keyboards have a pop-jazz atmosphere sound to it.The Horns are just magic-magnificent.
5 Years ago I had the chance to go to their concert. And I tought, Dont create too much expectation. In the youtube old videos theye were young, strong. Than came the surprise. I was wrong.
KC & The Sunshine Band I've been hearing this band perform since their beginings, had the opportunity to see them play after 40 years and they still have the energy to put everybody to dance. Great band, Great style & Grest music.
HW Casey taught me how to be one of the funkiest white dudes on the planet along with RIP PRINCE & RIP JAMES BROWN! Thanks for uploading this funk masterpiece 🔥🔥🔥🎷🎸
