I could listen to Questlove speak for hours. He’s the completely immersed specialist professor whom everyone wants to hang with during office hours. He has so much joy in his knowledge.
please don’t ever change from this public access feeling, Seth! Questlove is right- the timing, the vibe, we love the show like it is, do not bring back the audience I’m begging you…
The public access feeling / concept on this video involves a great interview. The other part of Seth's show is mocking news via comedy which is better done with an audience. It is possible to do both but I do appreciate this video more bc of the guest and subject.
I loved Attic Seth best but Public Access Seth is a close second. I hope audiences never come back. I like the current vibe and it sets the show apart from all the other late night shows.
SUMMER OF SOUL not only was fabulous for me but it also took me back to the year I graduated from high school and also reminded me of how my (100 % Lithuanian) boyfriend, later to be my dear husband, introduced me to Motown! I’m extremely grateful!!!🌹
The movie was phenomenal and the music-wow! I can't comprehend that this was a lost thing. The footage of Stevie Wonder hammering those drums or Mavis singing with Mahalia- so glad I got to see it but that such magic could have been just wiped away is a scary thought. Bravo on the film.
I finally got to see it as it's now on Disney Plus in the UK - and it is incredible. I'm so glad it's been put together at the same time as being so mad it was locked away for decades and kept from the world. Especially to the community the festival was put on for. Questlove and everyone involved in this film deserve ALL the awards. It's something so beautiful and so special.
Someone put a lot of love into superior recording equipment, storing and saving all those tapes. Fate decided their future and Questlove's appreciation of music to restore that glory of musicians.
i just saw the documentary Summer of Soul, i was blown away! Wow, i enjoyed every minute of it. It was a history lesson and very interresting to hear the stories of people who where there and ofcourse the best music! Maybe it is even more special because it took 50 years to show this to the world. Thx Questlove, greetings from Amsterdam
Agreed. They should put together performance videos of each band. I read an interview with the producers who hope to get the funding to do it properly.
I've been saying this since I saw the movie which took me back, made me laugh, cry. When I heard there was more, I thought of what they did with Woodstock movie; over the years added and added more and more of the concerts. I'm ready for 40 hours of binge nostalgia!
I want to know when it'll come out on DVD!!! I've been waiting so long for it to come out and I finally got to see it last week at our local indy cinema (Cape Cinema, Dennis, MA) and I just want to watch it again and again! It is a masterpiece! Thankfully, Cape Cinema has extended its play another week or so. Love, love, love this. Thank you, Quest, and others involved in the project. SO important. ❤❤❤KateColors
Saw Summer of Soul today in the theatre. Great great film and so glad those performances were captured. Definitely worth seeing in a theatre if you can.
Saw the movie today...There was water coming out of at least one eye for more than 60 percent of the movie...If you havent seen make sure you do...preferably at a cinema
Despite only being a first-time director, The Roots’ drummer Questlove has already entered rarified air as one of the nominees for the 2022 Academy Awards. he’s nominated for Best Original Documentary for his debut film, , which captured the subversive energy and vibrant performances of the 1969 Harlem Cultural Festival. The documentary is also nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Music Film, an impressive achievement for the veteran musician.
ATTN NBC PAYMASTERS: DON'T BRING BACK THE STUDIO AUDIENCE! This vibe works so well for Seth and his team and is clearly appriciated by the online viewing audience!!!
I'm a very white guy but Soul Train was on TV Saturday mornings for so long that you eventually found yourself watching at least some of it. And it really hasn't been Saturday mornings since they went off the air. One of the broadcast channels in Chicago started showing old Soul Trains on Saturday morning for a while, and that was pretty cool.
saw The Roots live at the Hurricane Festival in Germany in 2003... loved them before, loved them even more after and they were far fom being the main act....
Oddly watching this and hearing Quest...I got a Barry White vibe! Would like to see a movie autobio about Barry and have Quest play the part...his history in the music genre would suit the pitch very well.
The whole Sly show used to be on RU-vid, and I guess it was taken down a couple of years ago, Amazing footage. There's also a rare 7" (on Red Coach, mebbe?) called Harlem Cultural Festival which nobody seems to bring up when discussing the festival.
POC artist are amazing!!!! White culture is African-black American culture!!! There is no nothing American more than the music POC have contributed!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm latin! and love it!!!!!!!!!! we are!!!!!!!!
