Its the fact that Raphael Saadiq guitar riffs help construct the Neo-Soul sound is mind blowing, he litterly is the embodiment of stay lay and keep firing, salute King just wow
Now, I'm feeling as though we were cheated in Chicago. Gotta admit I've seen this dude four times: the Capital Jazz Fest in Maryland; Chicago three times- he opened for Lenny Kravitz, at the Vic Theatre, and at some festival (went solo). His musicians are awesome! I'd go again tomorrow too.
Blown away by his pen 🖊️! How could I not know he wrote “Kissing You” & “Cranes”? Thank you for showcasing a real clinic! Maestro Saddiq is masterful! 😮🎉❤
What a phenomonel concert! He did his thing both vocally and musically, really illustrating his prowess on the guitar! So surprised by this because I don't live that far from Brooklyn but knew nothing of this concert and Raphael Saadiq is my favorite artist of today! In addition to his own solo hits, he gives you a taste of the things he collaborated on with Lucy Pearl, Q-Tip, Total, Erekah Badu, Bilal, Solange Knowles and, of course, Tony! Toni! Tone! The Track listing is as follows: 00:01 Ask of You 04:51 Dance Tonite 07:38 Get Involved 10:30 Kissin’ You 14:00 Love of My Life (An Ode To Hip Hop) 15:10 Soul Sista 16:23 “(I Tried To Take It) Away” [not sure of the title] 18:30 “Let’s Get Down” 20:16 “Feels Good” (instrumental Prelude) 22:14 “Feels Good” 26:52 “ Still Ray”
I Love of lot of Artist but he's the truth. Love him. Musically inclined completely. I will always follow his music. My man Raphael Saadiq!!!Musically Yours!!! 🎶 😍🎤🕺🎤😍🎶
I was today years old when I found out this man wrote “Kissing You” for Total and it TOTALLY MAKES SENSE! 👀🤣 I have loved that song since the very first time I heard it. I’ve had it on damn near every playlist I’ve created since then. I have loved everything this man had created since I was 12 years old so yeah, I totally get it, no pun intended. 😍 Edit: Didn’t know he wrote MOST of these song “Soul Sister”? “Cranes”? “ Love of my Life”?😳 I can hear him all over these songs now but I love how each artist was able to make each song their own 🥰 I’m so proud he is from Cali like me 😍
I had no idea he wrote all of these songs either. When he mentions “Fantasy” by Earth, Wind and Fire”?! That was my push song when I gave birth to my daughter. This man is PURE GOLD. His voice, his groove. His soul. His charisma is off the charts!
The musician in me had to pause this video so many times!!! He’s the type of musician I gravitate towards. He is married to the groove. In that Prince, Nile Rogers, kinda vein. Some artist are just “connected”.
A reunion with all original members of founding group Tone Toni Tony would be awesome. They broke up over money and certain members not getting a fair share of their millions.
So much of his style got that west coast feel like Sly Stone where he breaks it down and goes a completely 180 to another direction.. Keeps you off balance and suspect to what’s going to happening next.. A little of Curtis Mayfield and small pinch of the Brother Johnson ..Yeah he smooth ..and there it goes playing a different melody .. LB June 2022
I want a date to take me to go see him and then go to some late night hole in the wall blues jazz live band after hours spot where they dance until they sweat and drink corn liquor. 🤣🤣😂
Are folks there at the concert singing his hits? Wasn't he part of one the best bands of all time? On movie soundtrack. Did a duet with earth wind and fire? Yes yes and yes so how in the hell is he underappreciated? Why is it that folks use ur word and the word underrated on RUclips so darn much my gosh!
The interlude they are playing at the beginning is absolutely beautiful!! He should should release that song using that beat. The bass player is giving me life.
My homeboy has been great at what he does (MUSIC) since we were kids in Oakland, Ca. Loyalty will get you a front spot with fans; Raphael has been a perfectionist since when I first met him; I had a tie on, and he straightened it for me, not because he had to; he pays attention to detail, outstanding performance, I would like to see him and his brother Dwayne back on stage!
He got some of Curtis Mayfield style of music with the bass actually taking a lead in the song followed by the strums of a lead guitar.. And some influences Sly Stone, Larry Graham, and pinch of The Brothers Johnson. And when he puts it together you got artistry equals good music.. LB July 2022
And it's even better in person. If he is ever in your town it is worth going to see him live. I had the honor of going to his concert at NJPAC...Amazing!!
Wow....that sounds soooo good!!!! I didn't even know who this cat was until today when I was checking out pedal boards for Guitars. The guy from Vertex was building him one and Raphael gave him a little tour of his L.A. studio. Pretty cool. Talented musician and quite the entertainer!!!! Would love to go see him live if he ever comes to Canada!!! One day soon!!!
When Raphael hit the cord for How Does It Feel. The person in the front turned around and said “ I did not know he wrote this “🤣😂 Dude is so super talented but yet so humble. Unless you’re a true Raphael fan then you had no clue he wrote and produced any of these hits. Solonage said in the interview he had that beat sitting around for eight years, she heard it and asked him could she have it.
Man this took me back to the Jimmy Lee Tour. My last outing before the pandemic in Norfolk Va and DC... I was in such awe I jumped in the car and drove to DC for the weekend show since it was so close! Good times ❤
Raphaels interludes are better than most albums
Thank you for this!
Bout time for some Lifetime Achievement awards for Mr. Saadiq.
Hell Yes
💯
I wanna like this 50’leven times
Exactly they need to give him his flowers while he here
BET has their favorites.
He need to be in the Hall of Fame! 🔥
TONY TONI TONE !!!!!!
💯 🔥 truth
Its the fact that Raphael Saadiq guitar riffs help construct the Neo-Soul sound is mind blowing, he litterly is the embodiment of stay lay and keep firing, salute King just wow
I think a lot of people forgot Raphael wrote "Lady" and played bass on the track. The brother is truly gifted!
Guitar too. Song was made years before D even got it. No one wanted THAT smash!
This setlist is EPIC! Raphael is the best in the game... artist, producer, songwriter, singer...inspirational.
🔥💯🎶👵🏾
So fluid on so many levels.
Now, I'm feeling as though we were cheated in Chicago. Gotta admit I've seen this dude four times: the Capital Jazz Fest in Maryland; Chicago three times- he opened for Lenny Kravitz, at the Vic Theatre, and at some festival (went solo). His musicians are awesome! I'd go again tomorrow too.
@@DC-qk8ue Sounds like a mix tape, doesn't it? A hot mix tape!
O man Legend !
This is fire!! Raphael is a True Living Legend!!!
Amen
Oh yes he deserves a lifetime achievement award he deserves his flowers right now , please give it to him!!

Sounds Amazing!! He looks so good with some weight too 😍😍
Yes!
Yes I agree
He just always have looked amazing to me from the Tony’s to current
4:03 (audience backup singer) has me WEAK!!! Go head! sir SANG IT!
LOLOLOLOL
Thank You Brother for posting this!!!! Raphael Saadiq is one of the Greatest Musician of All Time!!!! The definition of One in a Million!!!
What a musician this guy is. He’s also quite a workhorse, considering what he’s been busy with over the years for many different artists. A class act.
Yes he is
This is my favorite performance by Raphael Saadiq
Raphael keep the groove going with them sweet hits.
The musician in me had to pause this video so many times!!! He’s the type of musician I gravitate towards. He is married to the groove. In that Prince, Nile Rogers, kinda vein. Some artist are just “connected”.
A reunion with all original members of founding group Tone Toni Tony would be awesome. They broke up over money and certain members not getting a fair share of their millions.
I agree with this 100 percent because Dwayne, Carl, Elijah and Antron deserve their praise as well
CHILLS...every time he performs..❤😊
Makes you say DAMN !!!!!! WISH I COULD BERN THERE.
The transition from 4:44 to “Dance Tonight”..... HEAVEN!!!!!!!!!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾

Thank you #PaulCuevas for posting this concert footage of #RaphaelSaddiq 👍🏾👏🏾🎸🎵💖🎶🥁
My favorite artist, so under appreciated
Are folks there at the concert singing his hits? Wasn't he part of one the best bands of all time? On movie soundtrack. Did a duet with earth wind and fire? Yes yes and yes so how in the hell is he underappreciated? Why is it that folks use ur word and the word underrated on RUclips so darn much my gosh!
Are we ever going to be able to attend shows like this again?
I know right I miss concerts, I’m tired of live concerts online.
Been a fan since I was 12 years old… great storyteller… melody maestro
Still 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Best audience backup singers.
I love this man and his music so much! It was a pleasure seeing him live in MD this summer.
The interlude they are playing at the beginning is absolutely beautiful!! He should should release that song using that beat. The bass player is giving me life.
I beleive it is the song take me by him and Teedra Moses
He is the star that signs real bright out west. So glad that Dwayne and Tim reunited with him.
My homeboy has been great at what he does (MUSIC) since we were kids in Oakland, Ca. Loyalty will get you a front spot with fans; Raphael has been a perfectionist since when I first met him; I had a tie on, and he straightened it for me, not because he had to; he pays attention to detail, outstanding performance, I would like to see him and his brother Dwayne back on stage!
Ohhh Gregory this man is sooo fine to me,I would love to hug him
He's back on tour with his brother and cousin after a 25yr break. I've been waiting on this. Life truly does bring you back full circle.
@@jd3771Too bad he couldn't get the rest of the original band members on this tour.
He got some of Curtis Mayfield style of music with the bass actually taking a lead in the song followed by the strums of a lead guitar.. And some influences Sly Stone, Larry Graham, and pinch of The Brothers Johnson. And when he puts it together you got artistry equals good music.. LB July 2022
Yo😃😃I love these Dope interludes😃💯♥️
One of THE most important musicians of the last 30+ years hands down
Raphael Saadiq is the embodiment of music 🎶. He is the only living artist that I would LOVE to meet!🙏❤️🎶🎼🎵🎤🎹🎸🥁
Saadiq still sounds so good! 🔥
Don't need BGV's when the crowd gotchu!
Can't get enough of this!
Beautifully amazing, natural, and organic. I love your artistry! 😊

And it's even better in person. If he is ever in your town it is worth going to see him live. I had the honor of going to his concert at NJPAC...Amazing!!
No pissed me off in 2017 went to see him at the Hollywood Bowl in California & he hardly sang any of his hits 🤷🏾♀️🤨
I agree. The video doesn't seem to be able to capture the energy that be in the room when he's performing. Go see him!
This is living... great performance and songs... man..
G.O.A.T
Wow....that sounds soooo good!!!! I didn't even know who this cat was until today when I was checking out pedal boards for Guitars. The guy from Vertex was building him one and Raphael gave him a little tour of his L.A. studio. Pretty cool. Talented musician and quite the entertainer!!!! Would love to go see him live if he ever comes to Canada!!! One day soon!!!
