Everybody that I've ever met that saw Sly and the Family Stone live in their heyday said that they put on one of the best, if not THE best live show they ever saw!!
Can't believe I'd never seen this before--God I love Sly and the Family Stone! Only took almost 54 years, cool things for those who wait! Man they were absolutely tearing the place apart! This will be another "go to" Sly tune conquer the blues-outrageous energy and funk! The positive vibe of this legendary band always makes me smile. So nice to see Rose do a little more singing she is just gorgeous! Cynthia RIP. 😎💗
Just delightful. What a wonderful sweet trip back to such a different world. The 60s was a time when music was peaking .The combination of technology and talent, along with the attitude of the young generation culminated and blended together at just the perfect moment to allow for the greatest music ever to be created. THANK you for this snapshot of world history! ✌😍🤩 peace, love, and soul!
“Thank you, for letting us be ourselves…AAAAAAAAHH-GIINN!” This was March 1969. In December they released Thank You Falettin Me Be Mice Elf Agin. Sly was one of the Gods.
He was so good. It's a shame he bombed his come back at Coachella. I would've loved to hear some fresh soul from this genius. Never start drinking, alcohol sucks.
One had to see THE BAND LIVE or one might not comprehend why all the praise even decades later. THE BAND's performance practice is rooted in Pentecostal church music. The congregation often stood and sung in appreciation of a well executed performance. PRAISE GOD. I bet no other performer penetrated the barrier between stage and audience at the revered Ed Sullivan Show. SLY did so twice with varying success. WOODSTOCK attendees caught the groove. Love the CHUCK BERRY duck walk homage by FREDDIE STONE and LARRY GRAHAM, DRAKE's paternal uncle.
It's interesting how the Rolling Stones had to let's spend some time together instead of a spend the night together Jim Morrison couldn't say girl we couldn't get much higher. Got respect Sly Stone I think it's like 1968 not much difference when the stones around the same time Morrison plus Sly Stone just looks like he's hi, im sure he was. It's not like it was unusual, backed then it eas just the to do. I love Sly Stone. Wow I almost said Sly Stallone. Another great one in my book. 2 legends with almost the same name amazing. 👏 sometimes this Journey gets strange. I just try not to take this life too serious. Ive noticed since I've been doing that and living in the moment, I feel I have more piece of my mind and less anxiety, Forks there's is only one race ,the best race the only true race that means anything if you're not in this race I feel sorry. It's called The Human Race that I'm apart and you're apart of if you're human. Deep inside we all are. We all have the ability to be very good or very bad. It's the person not the people. Another race that don't want to be apart of The Rat Race. Try it for a while but got out of it without too much damage in other words I didn't get tainted and bitter. My morals and values came back from when times were simpler people seem happier. Anyways sorry folks brought me down that rabbit hole. I guess I'm just reminiscing but I was listening to Sly and the Family Stones. Best funk band ever. Not sure if it's funk but Family Stone, as well as the Ohio Players ,Chaka Khan. I just like good music . And im a white boy for those keepinf count😆 anyway sorry for the rant. Anyway ,peace out🤜💥🤛 .
rocket 442 Perhaps Chivalry was strong among the band members, and they respected and watched over her, with brotherly love. This band was fantastic. Throw out the rap crp, and bring back the endearing, TALENTS!
You must be kidding Sly the audience look like they are business people white business people who don't listen to his kind of music even though they're clapping they they just not into it. They look like they Frank Sinatra fans.
wow! now that was ALL the way LIVE! compare to Mamas & papas on Ed S. lipping their asses off...while the song is playing they are talking to each other, Michell is eating a banana in one hand holding the mic in the other sometimes she was eating banana, even though you hear her voice singing she is chewing then she starts singing in banana instead of mic then she just sets down the mic keeps the banana & you still hear her voice singing...what a joke esp on Ed Sullivan, but not Sly (which has always been one of my top favorites), they PLAYED & they SANG! made ya get your toes tapping fingers snapping & feeling good!
Don't you find it ironic that it is called "Love" city while they are surrounded by a bunch of dead animals as well as a poor Polar Bear that they are stomping all over. Shame..
@@standaman1963 Its just a song.. Those animals were once living intelligent beings and now they have been resorted to being a prop in a video. Yep that is all I got out of it..
Read a history book. Five years before this, a DEMOCRAT President signed the Civil Right Act and all the racists in the Democratic Party started voting Republican. Don’t believe me? Go look up the electoral maps for the 1960 & 1964 elections. The red and blue states almost completely flipped and it’s been pretty much the same since.
WOW Sly in his prime. It don't get any better. Greg Errico on drums is such a powerhouse!
Don’t forget the 🐐 Mr. Legendary Larry Graham. They legit were a supergroup
@@IIESPD00DII Oh my God, yeah what a rhythm section!!! Greg and Larry killin' it!
F#@king amazing!!! How anyone can sit still witnessing this live performance is mind-blowing.
Everybody that I've ever met that saw Sly and the Family Stone live in their heyday said that they put on one of the best, if not THE best live show they ever saw!!
An almost impossible amount of cool.
Can't believe I'd never seen this before--God I love Sly and the Family Stone! Only took almost 54 years, cool things for those who wait! Man they were absolutely tearing the place apart!

The greatest funk band of all time. The progenitors of psychedelic funk.
You gotta’ love when Sly goes out into the audience to get the Vitalis-laden audience members into the groove 😆
Sly wasn't going to allow them to take a nap....lol
Good song!
Vitalis... I forgot all about hair grease. I always used Brylcreem.
That has stuck with me ever since I saw this as a kid.
I love Sly and the Family Stone !!!!
Just delightful. What a wonderful sweet trip back to such a different world.

💯💯💯
Sly and the family stone rules!
52 year ago today, Sly and the Family Stone gave this tour de force performance...
Wonderful that performance on Ed Sulivan. I believe that they were the influencers to the Eart Wind and Fire.
Thew blew the lid for everyone from Funk to neo soul to hiphop
My friend told me his Mom used to hang around Sly back in the day; and he is a spitting image of him
Reality: *SOME THINGS ARE BETTER LEFT UNSAID*
Give your friend a nod from me.
If you're watching this song and you haven't already, search up the Woodstock performance of it. It'll knock your socks off.
Have it on Director’s cut Blu-Ray..Phenomenal!!!
Such a unique sound blending Funk, Rock & Soul. They were so great!
and Gospel
Come back Sly we need you.
“Thank you, for letting us be ourselves…AAAAAAAAHH-GIINN!” This was March 1969. In December they released Thank You Falettin Me Be Mice Elf Agin. Sly was one of the Gods.
Their livre performances always seem to blow away their recorded music. it's crazy!
Divine.
thank you for uploading the full performance.
"...THANK YOU FOR LETTING US BE OURSELVES!..." damn..this shit doesn't just happen in a vacuum. Talk about a precursor.
I've watched the part at 2:50 about 20 times in a row just now
Bruh me too lol it's like the breakdown of the song and then come back with a bang
That's the moment I was like... damn
I need that outfit Larry Graham was wearing. Both Rose Stone and Cynthia Robinson were so damn sexy and great performers!
INDEED....Incredible 😍🥰🥰🥰😘
It's really unbelievable to imagine this musical genius was living out of a broken-down van 40 years later.
Yeh the energy of them then is like a giant ball of fire
何というグルーヴ！ この時、まだジミヘンもジャニスも生きていたんだ。「スライは絶対ヘマなんかしない」とあのマイルスが言ったのも頷ける。何て素晴らしい時代！
very good,
He was so good. It's a shame he bombed his come back at Coachella. I would've loved to hear some fresh soul from this genius. Never start drinking, alcohol sucks.
Huh? It's great.
Go Drummer Go! 🙂
DRUMMER IS GREG ERRICO
LOVE him...All about the energy for the song. He really drives!
Man Freddie got some footwork going on around 2.50
No doubt-funnnnkaaaay! Love him! And he plays as well as he dances!
If these guys had never been around we would have never had Prince.
And if Larry hadn't been around we'd still have Prince
❤🙏🤟❤️🙏🤟

No other performer? Try Elvis and The Beatles.
Larry Graham killed Prince
Back when people actually sang and played their instruments live.... Who would’ve thought!
Always thought Larry Graham looked like a Wayans brother
You see this GenX'ers? This is a real band, a real band you missed out on during their peak from 1967-1971.
Im a Gen X er and I've been into Sly since I was 10 so watcha on about?
Prince was 11 years old when this aired. Wonder if he was watching?
You know he was. Everything about this performance screams Prince.
EVERYBODY was watching. You only had three channels back then. LOL.
It never left his being.
Of Course
@@Igaveyoumyfakename
this was the ed sullivan show 1969
ベースの人の声が好き。
La plus fabuleuse de cinglé
Des Genies
this band reminds me of the "Beach boys" : founded by brothers.
Proper x 100.
Sly was awesome but Freddie Stone was the best vocalist in the group.
Freddie bought that soul but imo Cynthia stood tall
@@RegreviewsLarry Graham was the best vocalist
@@RLFLOWS no argument
Folks from the SF-Oak area just making music.

Better than hodays generations
Including mine MTV or X like they call us
sUCH ENERGY !
GET IT ROSE !!!!
Those white folks in the audience didn't know what the hell to do. AWESOME SLY STONE!!!
fun
ステージ上はフリーダムな世界なのに、客席はハイソな人々。時代だから仕方ないですね。でも、これをみんなに知ってもらいたい。自由は努力しないと享受出来ないという事実に。
I guess they didn't even attempt to CC the lyrics 😁
Pre Woodstock ?
Roy Bean I was listening to them before Woodstock, but not sure on when this Ed was recorded. Might have been in 68.
Yes: it was March 23, 1969 (per the description notes) so it was 5 months before Woodstock.
OriginalGrasshopper Yes that sounds right, I knew I was in 8th grade. 68/69.
Call Altima
The girl Cindy was cute, ....I’ll bet she was a popular band member amongst the members hahahahaha

charisma Luv They knew who would be performing. And people that loved Frank, loved Sly and the family Stone. If You weren't there, quit guessing.
Cindy?

They sounded hungry

Back when democrats started fighting against civil rights.
STFU

I Swear I HATE Ignorance.. WTF Does This Live Concert Has to do With Politics?? OR Even Being A Democrat??? Girl Bye..
