Raphael Saadiq Live Music House of Williamsburg 

Raphaels interludes are better than most albums

Bout time for some Lifetime Achievement awards for Mr. Saadiq.

I think a lot of people forgot Raphael wrote "Lady" and played bass on the track. The brother is truly gifted!

Its the fact that Raphael Saadiq guitar riffs help construct the Neo-Soul sound is mind blowing, he litterly is the embodiment of stay lay and keep firing, salute King just wow

Blown away by his pen 🖊️! How could I not know he wrote “Kissing You” & “Cranes”? Thank you for showcasing a real clinic! Maestro Saddiq is masterful! 😮🎉❤

He need to be in the Hall of Fame! 🔥

Oh yes he deserves a lifetime achievement award he deserves his flowers right now , please give it to him!!

This setlist is EPIC! Raphael is the best in the game... artist, producer, songwriter, singer...inspirational.

Whew! unbelievable, how talented he is. Over 30 years of consistent solid hits for himself, his group, and other artists. So talented, just wow!

He is the star that signs real bright out west. So glad that Dwayne and Tim reunited with him.

I had no idea he wrote all of these songs either. When he mentions “Fantasy” by Earth, Wind and Fire”?! That was my push song when I gave birth to my daughter. This man is PURE GOLD. His voice, his groove. His soul. His charisma is off the charts!

I was today years old when I found out this man wrote “Kissing You” for Total and it TOTALLY MAKES SENSE! 👀🤣 I have loved that song since the very first time I heard it. I’ve had it on damn near every playlist I’ve created since then. I have loved everything this man had created since I was 12 years old so yeah, I totally get it, no pun intended. 😍 Edit: Didn’t know he wrote MOST of these song “Soul Sister”? “Cranes”? “ Love of my Life”?😳 I can hear him all over these songs now but I love how each artist was able to make each song their own 🥰 I’m so proud he is from Cali like me 😍

This is my favorite performance by Raphael Saadiq

The guitar chords he writes are awesome.....whew!

This is fire!! Raphael is a True Living Legend!!!

One of THE most important musicians of the last 30+ years hands down

Don't need BGV's when the crowd gotchu!

CHILLS...every time he performs..❤😊

A reunion with all original members of founding group Tone Toni Tony would be awesome. They broke up over money and certain members not getting a fair share of their millions.

Makes you say DAMN !!!!!! WISH I COULD BERN THERE.

The transition from 4:44 to “Dance Tonight”..... HEAVEN!!!!!!!!!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾

My homeboy has been great at what he does (MUSIC) since we were kids in Oakland, Ca. Loyalty will get you a front spot with fans; Raphael has been a perfectionist since when I first met him; I had a tie on, and he straightened it for me, not because he had to; he pays attention to detail, outstanding performance, I would like to see him and his brother Dwayne back on stage!

The musician in me had to pause this video so many times!!! He’s the type of musician I gravitate towards. He is married to the groove. In that Prince, Nile Rogers, kinda vein. Some artist are just “connected”.

What a musician this guy is. He’s also quite a workhorse, considering what he’s been busy with over the years for many different artists. A class act.

Raphael Saadiq is the embodiment of music 🎶. He is the only living artist that I would LOVE to meet!🙏❤️🎶🎼🎵🎤🎹🎸🥁

Best audience backup singers.

Sounds Amazing!! He looks so good with some weight too 😍😍

What a phenomonel concert! He did his thing both vocally and musically, really illustrating his prowess on the guitar! So surprised by this because I don't live that far from Brooklyn but knew nothing of this concert and Raphael Saadiq is my favorite artist of today! In addition to his own solo hits, he gives you a taste of the things he collaborated on with Lucy Pearl, Q-Tip, Total, Erekah Badu, Bilal, Solange Knowles and, of course, Tony! Toni! Tone! The Track listing is as follows: 00:01 Ask of You 04:51 Dance Tonite 07:38 Get Involved 10:30 Kissin’ You 14:00 Love of My Life (An Ode To Hip Hop) 15:10 Soul Sista 16:23 “(I Tried To Take It) Away” [not sure of the title] 18:30 “Let’s Get Down” 20:16 “Feels Good” (instrumental Prelude) 22:14 “Feels Good” 26:52 “ Still Ray”

Can't get enough of this!

This man is the real deal. I had NO idea he wrote these hits!!❤❤❤❤

Been a fan since I was 12 years old… great storyteller… melody maestro

I Love of lot of Artist but he's the truth. Love him. Musically inclined completely. I will always follow his music. My man Raphael Saadiq!!!Musically Yours!!! 🎶 😍🎤🕺🎤😍🎶

The interlude they are playing at the beginning is absolutely beautiful!! He should should release that song using that beat. The bass player is giving me life.

I love his “Yup, that was me too!” moments. This should’ve been the “You Don’t Put Enough Respect On My Name” tour 😂😂😂

G.O.A.T

Raphael keep the groove going with them sweet hits.

Saadiq still sounds so good! 🔥

So much of his style got that west coast feel like Sly Stone where he breaks it down and goes a completely 180 to another direction.. Keeps you off balance and suspect to what’s going to happening next.. A little of Curtis Mayfield and small pinch of the Brother Johnson ..Yeah he smooth ..and there it goes playing a different melody .. LB June 2022

I love Raphael Saadiq!! 😍💚💙💚💙

He got some of Curtis Mayfield style of music with the bass actually taking a lead in the song followed by the strums of a lead guitar.. And some influences Sly Stone, Larry Graham, and pinch of The Brothers Johnson. And when he puts it together you got artistry equals good music.. LB July 2022

When Raphael hit the cord for How Does It Feel. The person in the front turned around and said “ I did not know he wrote this “🤣😂 Dude is so super talented but yet so humble. Unless you’re a true Raphael fan then you had no clue he wrote and produced any of these hits. Solonage said in the interview he had that beat sitting around for eight years, she heard it and asked him could she have it.

Thank You Brother for posting this!!!! Raphael Saadiq is one of the Greatest Musician of All Time!!!! The definition of One in a Million!!!

Beautiful Saadiq

My favorite artist, so under appreciated

In my very humble opinion raphael saddiq is the modern day king of soul and that's for real.

Damn...They sound great! 👍🏾 Even without a keyboard player! 🔥 🔥🔥

WOW!!...I HAD NO IDEA...He's been one of my favorites for years...genius!!!

Damn..Once he plays his hits you come to the realization that damn this sounds like something he'd do

Thank you #PaulCuevas for posting this concert footage of #RaphaelSaddiq 👍🏾👏🏾🎸🎵💖🎶🥁

And it's even better in person. If he is ever in your town it is worth going to see him live. I had the honor of going to his concert at NJPAC...Amazing!!

I wish I was there for this show. The vibes were great

Now do you realize what this man has done for music?

Cranes in the skyyyyyy 😩

I love this man and his music so much! It was a pleasure seeing him live in MD this summer.

i was in the building that evening. great show from an icon in music.

MELANIN POWER 2 THE FULLEST...

Yo😃😃I love these Dope interludes😃💯♥️

Wow....that sounds soooo good!!!! I didn't even know who this cat was until today when I was checking out pedal boards for Guitars. The guy from Vertex was building him one and Raphael gave him a little tour of his L.A. studio. Pretty cool. Talented musician and quite the entertainer!!!! Would love to go see him live if he ever comes to Canada!!! One day soon!!!

RAFAEL SAADIQ IS A TRUE and REAL MUSICIAN and ARTISTE GOD 🙏 BLESS ALWAYS

These songs sound like a blend of R&B and Neo Soul.

This is living... great performance and songs... man..

Are we ever going to be able to attend shows like this again?

Beautifully amazing, natural, and organic. I love your artistry! 😊

This guy...... iconic🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I love that bass tuba sound like the black college bands in the south.. LB July 2022

Bowdown everyone …. HE IS STILL ONE OF THE R/B SINGERS THAT STILL HAS HIS VOICE AND CAN STILL SOUND EXCELLENT LIVE WITH HIS VOCALS. HE IS ONE OF THE LEGENDS THAT KNEW DRINKING AND DRUGS RUINS YOUR VOICE AND HE NEVER WAS INTO THAT …
