Following on from the recent Soul Source "Kings of Soul" video thread, how about a Soul Source "Top Live Performance" thread? Perhaps a Soul Source Members top 10 or 20?

I came across this on Youtube and thought it would be worth passing on. Then thought, other members must have their favorites..

Anyway, here your go - Billy Preston backed by Ray Charles doing Agent Double O Soul..LOVE IT!

That is brilliant! 

Also, what a contrast to Billy. Hopefully lots more suggestions to come.👍

ahhh just seen the tag , for it to work you do need to make sure its like this...

@Bo Diddley

then it will notify the member etc etc

 

A bit of the lack of response here may be due to the title?

As it currently reads like it's a one off video post, maybe something like "Top Youtube Live Performances" as a start point may get things going?

Does it get any better than this ?

Hi Mike,

Thanks for picking this up. I originally posted on Sunday with a very similar title to the one you suggested. But there was very little reaction. So, I changed it yesterday and added a new comment to raise the profile.👍

I'll change it back to see what happens. 

 

Cheers

Great performance here:-

 

One of my favourite records, Its a Shame  by The Spinners.. This live performance makes me go goosepimples, , the harmonising, the dance steps, the pure joy and soul. oh, and the drummer nails it !

And to save a lot of faffing about here's the link to the rest of ILMJXXX's fine collection of clips on YT ...

Sit back and listen to a master class in emotional soul.

I must have watched this a million times already. Fantastic.

Forgot to say that this was filmed live in London UK.

 

Edited April 22, 20205 yr by Guest

This one has to be included - 

 

Thanks everyone, these are fantastic.

You'd have to rely on pot luck to stumble across them. Imagine if it was a TV program with this compilation!

Keep 'em comin'

It was actually filmed in Whalley Range,Manchester at the then derelict Wilbraham Rd. Station for the 1964 Granada TV special 'Blues & Gospel Train'

Seven minutes of Stunning Live Soul from the Awesome Dells...  

A great performance by Nancy Wilson, backed by the Crusaders in 1987:

 

This spine-tingling performance by Phyllis Hyman looks like it was recorded in the early 80s:

 

Al Jarreau in 1976:

My mistake, I stand corrected 👍

morning all

regarding video posts

2 or 3 straight after each other just doesn't work that well on here

better if  try posting one at a time, with a decent gap in between 

doing so will help keep things flowing and may encourage more discussion, posts etc etc

thanks

What more can you say

 

fantastic performances

 

Lots will hate this but this, but it's brilliant to me and has a whole lotta soul IMHO.

Tom could hold his own with the best of them. Great vid.

Well start with a supreme singer songwriter.

 

 

 

 

 

 

This has to be my fave vid on youtube. I watch and listen to this at least 5 times a week and it kills me everytime.

From two of the greats in the business.

Dan Penn & Spooner Oldham - I'm Your Puppet

 

@Majy

Perhaps I should have know, but I just didn't expect Sister R to pick up a guitar! Great stuff.

Also, I've watched the Penn and Oldham vid lots in the past but had forgotten about it. Thanks for the reminder (Dan with the dungarees!) 

 

@The Yank

@Davebanks

Thanks for the JB Videos. He had to feature.👍👍

Interesting to see him and Pavarotti on the same stage and compare the singing

It's my go to happy place. Put the headphones on, sit back, close my eyes and for 3 minutes and 57 seconds im in heaven. Awesome!

I don't like so much the cheesy keyboards sound but Curtis here is pure class, as usual. Filmed at the begininn' of the 90ies in Germany. Full set

 

 

Edited April 24, 20205 yr by The Yank

Love this version of "Can't Write Left Handed" by John Legend and the Roots as much as Bill's original...

WITHOUT A DOUBT ONE OF THE MOST TALENTED HUMAN BEINGS EVER TO WALK THE EARTH

STILL REMEMBER SEEING THIS LATE ON NIGHT, DON'T THINK I'LL EVER FORGET

 

@Geeselad

I like it. I watched a few of the duets on that TJ youtube channel with Wilson Pickett and Stevie Wonder. I just passed over that one!

@Soulman58

That Sam Dees performance in really understated and emotional. Thanks

I think this is live but could be wrong I love it anyway.

 

 

Eddie Holman proving he can still hit those High Notes with this wonderful live performance of Hey There Lonely Girl...

Might not be to all tastes again, but in terms of vocal skill, can anyone top that?

This guy for me is the best there was and the best there ever will be. <3<3<3

 

If you are not aware of these videos then you are missing out on some really great live music.

Live From Daryl's House on youtube is awesome.

This wont be everyone's cup of tea, but I love the way this grabs builds, and reminds me of what a sense of joy she exuded when I saw her live.

 

Great version of Sam Cooke classic.

His father is superb!
