Slippery When Wet - Commodores | The Midnight Special 

Great funk, great singing, dancing, synching with the music. Those were the days of Funk! 1st met Commodores when they opened for Jackson Five 1st US tour July 1971. Won black radio contest for trip to NYC, front row tickets, hotel, limo, meet everyone. Loved Michael Jackson few years younger than me but Commodores Funk music blew me away. Lionel was 1st man I ever kissed..Followed him ever since to now in 2024❤😅

Performers all the way. Look there's no pyrotechnics there's not a huge screen behind them or drones or auto tune there's just a group of men who got skills!💞💫

I'm exhausted just watching this! This is some unreal talent! Lionel!!

SO...DANG...GOOD 🔥🔥🔥

I had all the Commodores albums in high school Thank you for this! ❤

That Bottom End Rules! Pure 70's Funk Rock with a Show!!

I loved their first two albums. Funky as hell!

53 years ago this month July 1971 1st met Commodores, Lionel Richie backstage as opening act for Jackson Five. Lived meeting them all, talking with Lionel ( was impressive 17 year old fan). Also met Jackson Five and Michael was funny, quirky, fun! Wish I could go full circle, see Lionel backstage 1 more time..

Cool song and funky moves! 😎🎷🎸🎹🎺

Truly amazing, great and talented band. Unlike most entertainers today, they put their heart and soul into their shows.

My boi's!!!! My favorite band of all time.

We had the best music! I remember when the Commodores played at West Georgia College, now the University of West Georgia in Carrollton, GA. 🥰

AWESOME!!! 🤘

I LOVE IT! thank you!

That's from the episode Eric Carmen was in.

Costumes, dance moves, vocals, and tight music. This was back when bands had to deliver the entire package. Only the strongest bands, like The Commodores, made it to the top.

Awesome

Interesting song “title”, like their choreography and the tune 💃🎶

I'm glad to see some funk coing through these videos.

all of them singing,playin and groovin…top that…

I've been looking for this video for the longest. Thank You. Keep the videos coming . They are treasure.

I knew Lionel Richie sang in the Commodores, but I had no idea he played sax too. Awesome!

Such a funkay jam!

The Commodores was one of the best funk bands ever🎉Love the coerography 😂👌❤️🇫🇷🎶

Damn. Wish they had the horns for the whole song.

Thank you Burt! 🙏🤗🍺cheers

Holy Jesus....!! 🥸🥸🥸

I noticed they sped the song up from the 45. I didn't know lionel could move like that and play the sax. Gotta put some more of this concert appearance. Upload

...back when they were a kick-ass Funk band.

This song was written about famous 70's groupie Sylvia "Slippery" Wenwett.

Get down

Lionel Ritchie gettin’ DOWN❗️

lolololol...Lionel fakin dat sax

Is it any wonder The Commodores produced The Temptations album "A Song For You". This sounds like it could easily have fit on that record.

All the way live mofos! Class dismissed

They didn't practice what they preach, for sure!!

Ya....Rap is better! How could this go away and rap rules. This world is crazy

The Commode Doors!
