Yooooo....this crowd was sooo unappreciative to the straight up mastery and skill and pure essence of life this man brings with his crew. They just..SAT there!!!! I would have lost my EVER LASTING MINNNNDDDD in this performance!
Roy Ayers must have been at his prime here! And this has to be without doubt, his best band to date! What a fine version of Everybody Loves The Sunshine. Pitty that the audience was not ready for the kind of greatness that stood before them on that day.
Sphiwe Mashaba, I am a musician, and I agree with everything that you said! I've not heard all of the bands and ensembles that Mr. Ayers has played with, but it's hard for me to imagine any of them sounding as good as this one here, b/c the arrangement, musicianship, and virtuosity on display her is off the chart! The band and Roy Ayres are maddeningly tight! 😁 In fact this is one of my favorite live performances of all time! All genres of music considered! Lastly, it's so sad that there are very few of today's band's showcasing this level of skill and musicianship. Maybe today's kids can watch this video to see how it's done! Peace✌️
❤one of my favorite jazz musician's of my time.and.... I'm a late 50's child WHO'S ALWAYS been a jazz fan; ever since I heard/remember the first note of jazz!!... and I'm a MOTOWN child of the GREAT STATE of the GREAT LAKES state of MICHIGAN ❤!
so good to see Roy giving props to Miles Davis, because he so deeply deserves every bit! We live for Roy Ayres here in D.C. because he never forgets us when he's on tour! Thank you so much for this smoove, mellow version of my all-time favorite jazz anthem. I'm so feelin this ace interpretation.
I feel like this is definitively one of the greatest music tracks of all time. Those chords are beautiful. No wonder so many Deep House, Nu-Jazz, Hip Hop and Techno artists sample and are inspired by Roy Ayers and by extension, Miles Davis and other Jazz innovators. Truly incredible.
SunStoned -search George Duke, Bob James, Donald Byrd and Herbie Hancock too, if you dig this. This was Smooth Jazz before it became hip to listen to. The 70s baby!
You guys are right, that audience had no soul. Excellent performance. The bass player didn't miss a note. The guitar solo was nice too. I stumble on this by mistake, glad I made that mistake. I saw Roy Ayers at the World Financial Center. He is the best!,
Never seen Roy Ayers live. All I can say is this song is, always has been and always will be the shit. He needs to release a live version of this. I would go out and buy it in a heartbeat.
from the man who gave us 'Poo Poo La La' !! I love this song, full of soul and feeling. One of the best guitar solos I have ever heard--comes in at 4.10. The band is tight but there is space in the music shame about the audience. brings me great joy. xx
I saw him at the Blue Note in NY a couple of years ago and we the crowd responded like you're supposed to when hearing the masterful Roy Ayers!! He was awesome as always and we definitely made some noise esp when we sang with him on this awesome piece! Don't know where this crowd came from!!
Mindblowing music! Audience is completly paralyzed. Seriously, this is so good and cool and soothing. Hurray for the next summer! Hurray for life! Hurray for Roy Ayers!
Been listening to Roy since the 70's. He, Grover Washington Jr, Ronnie Laws, Bob James, Dexter Wansel, Donald Byrd, The Crusaders and Lonnie Liston Smith took charge of the jazz-fusion movement and hit it out the park. One of my all time favorite artist. This audience must have been left over from an infomercial spot!
Absolutely beautiful...you cannot beat live music played with such soul and feeling...Roy Ayres et al you are wonderful...but the audience was rather reserved to say the least! Classic song that will never grow old...thanks for entertaining us Roy.
I love this song and the guitar solo at the end is one of the best I have ever heard. The band is really tight yet there is space in the music. Brings me JOY.
A funking masterpiece. I'm privileged to have seen this line up at Ronnie Scotts Birmingham. Fell in love with Zachery Breaux playing and super funky drummer. God these guys are good. Roy is just so entertaining.
The best guitarist I ever heard , and I'm 55 years old , and a musician ( which means I heard 'em all ) !!! And a gentleman ... nay ... a hero ... to boot ... It would seem the good ones go first , perhaps a form of divine mercy ?!?
:( not seeing Mr Ayers the last time he was at Fort Dupont Summer Concert Series and now in #2020 with SO many issues on the planet right now, this is my peace right now . Memories
Certainly 'IS NOT' underrated by any stretch of the imagination. My man, Roy, has influenced so many musicians across so many genres in music right across the world. Man's done seriously everlasting works that many of todays highly celebrated artists couldn't achieve in several lifetimes. WORD!
Thanks for uploading this! Yeah the '70's man, remember when this came out! This concert must been in the late nineties / early 2000's. Oh he did say that Miles had recently died & that was 1990 or '91.
EVERYBODY GIVE THE GREAT,AND I MEAN THE GREAT ROY AYERS A BIG THUMBS UP FOR THIS CLASSIC ROY AYERS TRACK.

Too overwhelming!,taken back by surprise, Confounded? Let me hear it again???
This tune is something that only a musical genius could make .What an underrated legend .
+Pete Rock Preemo Who the f**k is underated, Roy?? Are you bonkers??
Dude just said Roy Ayers is underrated. LOL.
YES YES YES!!!
None of you noobs are wrong.
It just depends what part of the world you know.
Jay Dee, h☀️pefully that changes from underrated to a bright as the sunshine OVER☀️RATED in the era 😷f covid-19 🙏
How could you not be moved by this...simply divine
I’m a 90”s baby.....I’m soaking all of this up.....pen and paper in hand, this is gold.
Roy Ayers must have been at his prime here! And this has to be without doubt, his best band to date!

Ray Gaskins (RIP) was a great addition to the band though,
❤one of my favorite jazz musician's of my time.and.... I'm a late 50's child WHO'S ALWAYS been a jazz fan; ever since I heard/remember the first note of jazz!!... and I'm a MOTOWN child of the GREAT STATE of the GREAT LAKES state of MICHIGAN ❤!
Roy Ayers carried an entire generation with his vibes, this song always sent chills through me.
love this song from back then 76, but never heard it live..........made my day Nov 24, 2024
listen to the version of this song by Robert Glasper: Wow...Just the song in general but check it out
Can't tell if they're so entranced by the music, or just not appreciating it fully. People would kill to see this these days.
This is the sweetest version I've heard of this cut yet. The guitar player and drummer are nice.
In my Top 10 ! Gives all kinds of feels ❤️.
Beatmaker??? )))
Roy is theraputic, smooth, relaxing
Why me come on boy here is the best bring me back
X stop playing stop it stop playing
i admire them for not letting the crowd damper their spirits and still play some great music.
I'm 50 amd cry at the genius is that of Roy! It reminds me of school days and the uncertainties of life. Whats it all about!
A Must Need This Morning Beautiful just Beautiful In This Season Of Life At 70 Thanking God Almighty For His Love In Music
that guitar solo just took me to outer space!
Zachary Breaux....absolute genius, and taken from us far to soon :(

Still love me some Miles Davis. His autobiography is still certified lockdown material to read.
YUP, DC LOVES ROY AYERS

Amazing set and that guy sure can play that cat, that's C.A.T
Yep! Heard it in New York City summer of 1978, bought the album right away. Still fabulous!
Yes! I love the sunshine. 🌞
I feel like this is definitively one of the greatest music tracks of all time. Those chords are beautiful. No wonder so many Deep House, Nu-Jazz, Hip Hop and Techno artists sample and are inspired by Roy Ayers and by extension, Miles Davis and other Jazz innovators. Truly incredible.
CrystalFissure alright man, see you on lots of soichi tunes :)
Soichi is one of my favourites!
Correction - Soichi Terada is my favourite. Seeing him live this coming Thursday in Adelaide.

Blessed to see Mr Roy Ayers live! These Germans....
Good music never gets old. This is the first time I heard this live version. Doesn't get any better. Thanks.

the bassman is fantastic, too - love his smooth style!
I wouldve loved to been in that audience.
Damn,I would like to live in that time...Pure music...real artists...no internet...😎
Why are the audience glued to their seats!, lighten up, your watching a legend at work with his brilliant band. Love you roy!
I think Roys wink at the end says it all! a supreme performer x
What a great bunch of talented musicians playing a great song!!This is a stellar performance!!!!
What a band!! 🎵😎
This Ayers classic is what summer sounds like.
Never seen Roy Ayers live. All I can say is this song is, always has been and always will be the shit. He needs to release a live version of this. I would go out and buy it in a heartbeat.
I was so lucky to see this line up on a couple of occasions. Zachery Breaux and Donald Davis...legends!!!
what a composition!!! and drum works!!! double bass drum fills in 'everybody loves sunshine'!!! MINDBLOWING! tell the drummer if you know him. tnx
This piece of Genius deserved a better audience.......
Was first introduced to Roy Ayer's music back in the 70's while living with my brother in Chicago, instantly fell in love with it!!
How good can any artist get. He satisfies my jazz craving because he so versatile and has so much energy. I love his style and originality.
je l'écoute des dizaines de fois de suite et je m en lasse pas... Hypnotic !!!
La perfection ce live
How have I never heard of this guy til now? Definitely need more of this.
Better late than never... This guy is pure GENIOUS
Where have you been? You have to tune in this man and his musical proneness is genius and no groups today can come close!
Each And Every Day We Bless God For This Because We All Love The Sunshine
I've seen this video like 10 times, and I share it with musicians and they are blown by it!
This recording is even better he is truly inspirational. REpunk
Roy is in his own world. Just listen to some of his early work. SOOOOO AMAZING!
I am a big Roy Ayers fan , his blend of Jazz & Soul was a new sound back in the 70's. G'on Roy, "Take all the time you need".
from the man who gave us 'Poo Poo La La' !!
I love this song, full of soul and feeling.
One of the best guitar solos I have ever heard--comes in at 4.10.
The band is tight but there is space in the music
shame about the audience.
brings me great joy. xx
I saw him at the Blue Note in NY a couple of years ago and we the crowd responded like you're supposed to when hearing the masterful Roy Ayers!! He was awesome as always and we definitely made some noise esp when we sang with him on this awesome piece! Don't know where this crowd came from!!
Blue Note... reminds me of blue note records. Sounds like an amazing concert. Check out the Madlib Shades of Blue album. Love from NY
@@OddiseeXL I will do that. Thanks for the heads up!
i love this song, the miles davis sound is so relaxing and smooth
When the good Lord takes me home, please etch "Everybody Loves The Sunshine" on my tombstone ... "just bees and things and flowaaaas"!
Everybody loves the sunshine ,,an amaizing inspiring jazz composition ,,truly great..from Roy Ayers
Love this concert on DVD. Listen to the drummer work the foot pedal. BASS is on point. The late great Mr Breaux. And should be Hall Of Fame Roy Ayers.
Roy Ayers has been in my life, since 74', due to my late Big Sis! And imma 4ever luv tha sunshine!!!

This will ALWAYZ be 1 of my many favorites of Mr. Ayers ~
Thank Goodness for RUclips, The audience may not have realized they were witnessing pure musical genius but we do
Mindblowing music! Audience is completly paralyzed. Seriously, this is so good and cool and soothing. Hurray for the next summer! Hurray for life! Hurray for Roy Ayers!
Been listening to Roy since the 70's. He, Grover Washington Jr, Ronnie Laws, Bob James, Dexter Wansel, Donald Byrd, The Crusaders and Lonnie Liston Smith took charge of the jazz-fusion movement and hit it out the park.

GENIUS AT WORK. WE LOVED HIM IN THE UK. HE PLAYED HERE MORE TAN ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE WORLD.
This is the best rendition of this tune live I have heard.
Dennis Davis on Drums - Legend!!!
Jay Walker That's who that is damn! That hat threw me off got me thinkin it was Dennis Chambers. Whole different Dennis. Damn haha
Absolutely beautiful...you cannot beat live music played with such soul and feeling...Roy Ayres et al you are wonderful...but the audience was rather reserved to say the least! Classic song that will never grow old...thanks for entertaining us Roy.
I love this song and the guitar solo at the end is one of the best I have ever
heard.
The band is really tight yet there is space in the music.
Brings me JOY.
you want to hear what heaven sounds like? you're listening to it
Absolutely SLOW smooth jazz at it's best...!!! Man was i singing to this jam.
A funking masterpiece. I'm privileged to have seen this line up at Ronnie Scotts Birmingham. Fell in love with Zachery Breaux playing and super funky drummer. God these guys are good. Roy is just so entertaining.
Forget the audience and just float with the sound
On the beach 🏖 listening to the legend . In my element .❤️✌🏾
The best guitarist I ever heard , and I'm 55 years old , and a musician
( which means I heard 'em all ) !!!
And a gentleman ... nay ... a hero ... to boot ...
It would seem the good ones go first , perhaps a form of divine mercy ?!?
Dennis Davis, Drummer Exrtraordinaire...
Waaaahhhhhh!!!!! aweful sounds on the midi vibraphone!!! I saw it live in Berlin and I'd love to reclaim my entrance fee.... :(((((
Lord have mercy. This right here is music.

Wonderful guitar playing by the late, great Zachary Breaux - RIP... such a sad loss in such generous circumstances.
