No mention of this amazing Drummer! Once again the hard working drummer is left in the back and overlooked. This guy was Dave Weckl before Dave.. SO soild. I love this band and all of this amazing performance but in so many of the comments naming the players, why do you always leave out the heartbeat of everything that happens here, The Drummer! I think Chaka Khan is one of the greatest vocalist of out time. I cannot think of a single note I don't live in awe of. This band Is amazing. And yes I've had the honor to play with Tony Patler. Kudos to everyone, but as a drummer I can't say how disappointing is to see once again how forgotten we are as part of the team. My hat goes off to Armond Grimaldi, if I have that right. It's hard to think of a better group of players than this. Please when you post...take the time to post all of the credits...sound techs included... no sound... no concert...
I tell ya Chaka is such a trouper. You can see she was starting to go hoarse but she still pulls it off. Lisa Fischer stepped in to do the high notes at that bridge. But trust and believe if Chaka wasn’t hoarse she would have handled that part just fine. But when you have the top notch background singers in the business, you have that cushion to lean on in such instances as this.
I was during the european tour in Belgian Brussels.. wow ..what a band… Jimmy Haslip on bass Michael Ruff (md)on keys Snuffy Walden in Lead Guitar Jeff Johnson Guitar and last but not least Queen of Funk Chaka Khan
Wow I remember all these artists from my early los angeles days, jimmy haslip, snuffy Walden, of course Michael Ruff, and Chaka has always been the Queen, no apologies. This was incredible. So much spectacular musicianship. Chaka has no peer. 💜
Lisa Fischer has always been that girl. She was also background for Luther Vandross at one point. She had some of the best teachers in the industry and she left her own mark on the industry as well.
Love this. Hoarse and high but the show must go on. I don't know how she maintained. I know her label Warner Brothers was really working her nerve to make another album like I feel for you so at this time she had was under a lot of pressure. I admire her cause I could not work under so much pressure. I know that music industry can drive you to drink
Man Chaka! You're from my hometown, Chi-Town! For those who don't know, that would be Chicago, Illinois. Chaka I've loved your amazing voice since I was just a kid and I first heard "Tell Me Something Good!" I absolutely love this vid' and recording, b/c it shows you at your vocal, and stylistic best. Also, especially since I'm a keyboardist, I gotta' tell you that the last name Ruff fits Michael Ruff well, 'cuz he is "Ruff" on 'dem keys, quite honestly, he's an absolute beast of a player. So glad for this post. I'm Out! 🎹
Nice Band and great vocals. I would have wanted to hear more jazz and effort in the synth solo. Hancock plays one of his best synthesizer solos on the original recording.
@@imthezongz I agree with you that Larry Williams is a great player. His solo on Al Jarreau’s Spain is one of my all time favorites and I can play it note for note. However, both written data and music analysis confirm that the synth solo on ATMSLO is played by Herbie Hancock. If you don't believe me You have to present hard evidence to back up your countering argument.
@@vmertane Ok I was wrong and you are right. I stand corrected. 🙂 It's just that I like Larry W. so much. I can also still play the Spain solo, I remember it as one of the hardest things to notate in the 1980's. Did it with a ½ inch Revox tape recorder, slowed down to half tempo. 😁
She sang with Luther Vandross.Also won a Grammy for the song how can I ease the pain.Check out Twenty feet from Stardom a documentary about. some of the greatest background singers. Beautiful and incredible singer.
Egypt and Tunisia you ask ??? Every red blooded American knows that both places are in Texas. We must be the "Kings of Geography" because we produce the most maps and 12 inch globes.🌍🌎🌏..But I guess we don't study them though...lol I love Chaka even on a mediocre day. Also nice smooth keyboard stylings and it jogged my memory about Lisa Fischer. She had impressive range back then.
Some powerhouse sangers! Love Chaka and Lisa, but the other singers sang a lot where Chaka would normally sing, she sounded hoarse, somebody said she was high, not sure but she was known to show up like that.
@@sweetoneloves6811it's no secret that Chaka had drug and alcohol issues. I could tell she was high by looking at her eyes. I don't hold it against her the music industry could drive one to drink. I've seen her 4 times live and she was at her best each time so I'm happy.
This is definitly not the best period for her.. and not the best live version of this very difficult song. Listen to the one at the Roxy back in 1981: ruclips.net/video/XyzrlndLVbI/видео.html
Not as good as compared to her original band. W O W TOO WATERED DOWN. Her vocals are good here not great like always & Chaka is the Greatest singer to ever do it! Bass & Guitar are dope but the others are too rockish for this piece.
Jimmy Haslip on bass! FAB all the way!
OMG Lisa Fisher singing backgrounds with and for Miss Chaka. This is just music royalty galore.....

Real musicians playing real music. I love it!

Awesome musicality and vocal dexterity! *Chaka is the GOAT* 🐐🔝🔥🎙❤🎉
Michael Ruff beginning solo gave me the chills lol

Chaka Khan is a pure Goddess. So impressive.
OMG is that Lisa Fischer⁉️Fearless. This is when you know a woman is fearless. Sang with Chaka!!

Quebradeira monstro! Uma das melhores intérpretes de todos os tempos! Pra sempre Chaka Khan!
Band on fire with Michael and Chaka.
Excellent! She's great! Good band, alright.
Solid, old school Jazzy music from Chaka*Khan back in the days

CHAKA.IloveYOU.Ido.LovitwithLOVE
This song is called “AND THE MELODY STILL LINGERS ON” not a night in Tunisia
I was during the european tour in Belgian Brussels.. wow ..what a band… Jimmy Haslip on bass Michael Ruff (md)on keys Snuffy Walden in Lead Guitar Jeff Johnson Guitar and last but not least Queen of Funk Chaka Khan
This is the group i always saw together in LA in the early 80's. Priceless!

@@meganrussell53
Hi Meghan,
Any idea who is playing drums ?
@@SteveStockmalMusic I think it's Armond Grimaldi, maybe?
@Steve Stockmal think I spelled his first name wrong, it's Armand🙂
Damn!! Hi Michael....what a gem this is💖

With Hiram Bullock in guitar and Jimmy Haslip in the bass
You sure that's Hiram?
Who’s the actual guitar player?
What’s the name of the two guys on the guitar
is snuffy walden one of the guitarists ?
It's not Hiram.

Funky chacka great in all styles
Love the word painting...
Wow!! They cut ALL-THE-WAY up on this performance!^^
Nice Band and great vocals. I would have wanted to hear more jazz and effort in the synth solo. Hancock plays one of his best synthesizer solos on the original recording.
That's probably the best synth solo in music history LOL
Wasn‘t it Larry Williams?
It´s not Hancock. It´s Larry Williams! Check out eg Al Jarreau records, songs like Spain etc. Larry is the king of keyboards. All hail to him.
@@imthezongz I agree with you that Larry Williams is a great player. His solo on Al Jarreau’s Spain is one of my all time favorites and I can play it note for note.

😩🙌🏾❤️LISA FISCHER
Who’s Lisa Fischer
@@supershockerJGONZALEZ she hited the highest note on the back vocal
Just one of the best vocalis/background
She sang with Luther Vandross.Also won a Grammy for the song how can I ease the pain.Check out Twenty feet from Stardom a documentary about. some of the greatest background singers. Beautiful and incredible singer.
Sweet tune.
Great Post
Standing room only at "At My Place" .. great times.
Randall Ulmer
OMG!!
Lisa..... Wow..... She is Amaizin’!!👍
Great drums by Casey Scheuerell.
Go and listen to him with Gino Vannelli!!!
@@sticktrik go and listen to Chaka's boot w/ Vinnie playing this tune !!!!
What a tune
Egypt and Tunisia you ask ???
Every red blooded American knows that both places are in Texas.
We must be the
"Kings of Geography" because we produce the most maps and 12 inch globes.🌍🌎🌏..But I guess we don't study them though...lol
I love Chaka even on a mediocre day. Also nice smooth keyboard stylings and it jogged my memory about Lisa Fischer. She had impressive range back then.
🌈🌈🌈Amazing 🎉🎉🎉
The melody still lingers
Yvette the Best!
yes lisaaaaa....
Lisa was not playing. Wow.. 😍
Boy Chaka was really high on this one. Still sounded great though.
High and hoarse, but she pulled it off! She is and always will be the GOAT…
Some powerhouse sangers! Love Chaka and Lisa, but the other singers sang a lot where Chaka would normally sing, she sounded hoarse, somebody said she was high, not sure but she was known to show up like that.
This was just before she lost the top notes from polyps that were removed.
Lisa is sangin!
wow
She was hoarse and not at her best here but she's still such a trouper.
Sadly this was the case for her entire I Feel For You Tour, this concert may be the best one of that tour
MMMM I like Chaka, the band is good,she just probably having one of those day. Then she not in a studio singing. she sounds ok
@@sweetoneloves6811it's no secret that Chaka had drug and alcohol issues. I could tell she was high by looking at her eyes. I don't hold it against her the music industry could drive one to drink. I've seen her 4 times live and she was at her best each time so I'm happy.
И что это за синкопа такая! Наверное немцы придумали. 😊😊
Best Perfomence
Is that Dave Weckl on drums?
No
It is Joel Rosenblatt. From Spyro Gyra.
@@dontrump4021 Don't know who it is, but not Rosenblatt. :-)
@@srenfrost5000 it is. Do research. Or don’t. But it is Joel
Rosenblatt
@@dontrump4021 It's the highly underated Armand Grimaldi on drums!
That's Dave on drums
Really Chaka you forgot that Tunisia is in Tunis & not Egypt?😉
멋있다
Didn't know that Anthony Kiedis was such a great keyboard player... :-O
Did she say Egypt then Tunisia?
go LISA FISCHER❤
❤️
Tunisia is not Egypt
I had to pause the video, I was literally like Chaka whaaaaaa??? 😂😂😂😂 ‘Tunisia to be specific’ ahahah like its a province in Egypt lol
Amai men...
VET!!!!!
This is definitly not the best period for her.. and not the best live version of this very difficult song. Listen to the one at the Roxy back in 1981: ruclips.net/video/XyzrlndLVbI/видео.html
