Habe 82 ZZTop in der Gruga gesehen. Total müde, vorher kamen Joan Armatrading, The Blues Band und noch ne Band. Das waren gute Zeiten. Und der WDR war noch nicht auf links getrimmt 🎸🎸🎸🎸
Of all the versions of "Stool Pigeon" that I have seen or heard, I think this is the best. Kid creole and the band were rockin', and the Coconuts were burnin' down the house! Oh, to go back to the Eighties for just a few nights!
I was fortunate to see them perform live in 1982 at The Palladium in Hollywood and their performance/show remains in the top 5 acts that I have ever witnessed. True 'gift from God' entertainers.
You better believe it the 80s was soom of the best music ever made I am 81 and I still love it today’s music can’t come close 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
It is all a perfect union between music and show those girls are very good especially for a 64 years old person like me well! A warm greeting people ❤️🌹🤓🇮🇹
Kid was successful but he deserved much more. No one like him has been able to blend Latin, Soul and Funky in an explosive mixture. Unique artist with overwhelming movements. I love you Kid
If missing is your thing. IMHO.it CONCERNS John Peel on Big London 266 continued on RADIO 648. After BBC WORLD SERVICE Scooped up the real Pirate talent
When the central riff begins, you are spectacularly trappped--it's a masterpiece. I had friends tell me about them during the 80s and I didn't pay attention. This piece alone deserves the Grammy, everything. What a mesmerzing, complex, beautiful piece of music....
Kid Creole is without a doubt one of the best bands to ever hit the planet Earth. Like the one person said : " The furst band to blend funk latin soul blues rock etc. Great band. Love them to this very day. 🎷🎸🥁
Real Music. When you wrote your own. When you knew you were different. When you didn't have to conform to statistics & marketing BS. Thank the gods for music prior to the year 2000.....!
Saw KC and the Coconuts a couple of times around this period and they were definitely one of the most enjoyable bands I ever saw, more like a party than a gig!
Going on 40yrs, folks, and still a better live show than probably 80% of what you’d pay inflated prices to see today - and pre auto tune. One helluva band - especially love the brass section - hot cha cha cha !
@@rcpmac If that’s for me, yup just being honest; but let’s face it, there are far more serious issues about which to worry than whether someone wants to click like or not on any frivolous social media comment.
World-class musician and woodwind player Charlie Lagond has worked professionally for over 35 years, performing around the world with his own bands as well as alongside renowned artists Chet Baker, Woody Herman, Buddy Rich, Bernard Purdie, Chuck Mangione, The Jackson Five, the Temptations, Natalie Cole, and Kid Creole & the Coconuts with whom he has performed at several presidential inaugural balls and a Command Performance by request of Princess Diana. He has performed on Broadway, in film and television, and has an extensive background in studio session recording. Is my great uncle, kid definitely had some talent with him all around
It's been 40 years, but this video still carries a positive charge. I was 17 then and now I'm 57, it seems impossible to me. I would like to meet the three girls, the coconuts, who will now be happy ladies in their sixties.
not exactly what you had in mind, but pretty similar : The Kid Creole and the coconuts reunite for a day (promoting their documentary) ruclips.net/video/ww8sxzYuJmc/видео.html
@@dvdp4513 Yes I do. 1963 John Lennon at Queen's annual Royal Variety Performance said : " The people in the cheaper seats clap yours hands and the rest of you if you'd just rattle your jewelry" At that time speech was free. Hi from France.
Wow...love Kid Creole and the coconuts this was one of my favorites..I see he influenced Rick James.. Prince..Bruno Mars..and so many more. Is he in the Rock n roll hall of fame...wish I could have seen him live...love the coconuts..incredible choreography...💛💛💛
Ha, I remember seeing these cats play around this time and being blown away by their stage presence. 😃 Also a young Bass player I remember being extremely impressed with how funky the female Bassist (Carol Coleman?) was. They had 4 fiber optic palm trees custom made for their full stage setup and in the late eighties I walked into a dance club that was located in the square of the little city of Sonoma California and was surprised to learn from owner after I asked him if he had his palm trees made to look like the ones I had seen years earlier on stage with Kid Creole? He was surprised that I recognized them and said they were actually the same ones and explained how he knew them and he bought them from the band to untilize for his vision as a permanent installation in his club on both sides of inside entrance walkway leading to dance floor. Cool huh 😎
Yep, Carol Coleman... she was exactly what this music called for.. Fun fact: Kid C. played bass in a band that was precursor to KC+Coconuts - the Savannah Band, see here: ruclips.net/video/BdtENUX3nNk/видео.html So he knew damn well - Carol was THE ONE for the job 😍
Очень мало эта группа звучала в СССР, но я ее помню, конечно мы не видели исполнителей, а только касеты, но..классно же, кайф и какие музыканты..мне 63 я из Краснодара..во.времена были..
I remember my parents (in their 70’s at the time)telling me they had watched a show by kid Creole and coconuts back in the 90’s and they thought the whole performance was superb.
Fantastic. I enjoyed their concert in Stuttgart in the 80s. It was wunderbar. Great musicians great show. 3 hours they played without a stop, from one song direct in the next. And the coconuts were so pretty and elegant
Such a show! Man what style! The man is incredible! The band is incredible! The Coconuts are divine! His clothes in this number are largely based on the old "zoot suit" look, as in "a zoot suit, with a reet pleat and a drape shape" or as Cab Calloway sang about it in other words. A brilliant artist like Kid Creole is a Knowledge Keeper of the traditions, he and his band are rock'n'rolls treasures. Hats off to you, Kid -- you really bring it, bring it all, and you polish it, add yourself to it, and extend it to new heights! Salute, Sir!
@@benjaminbolter7192 No, I never caught his act live. And here in Vancouver, things are pretty shut down, making a bad situation for live jazz and blues only worse, sad to say. Like others, I can only guess what the live music scene will be once, or if ever, the covid shutdown and fears lift. If you like Kid's style, you might want to check out some old Cab Calloway. Try ruclips.net/video/IoMbeDhG9fU/видео.html for a megadose of yesteryear class.
Now this is one fantastic live band..saw them in approximately 1986. This is a band that should still be touring in 2023...extremely extremely underrated...I absolutely positively can't dance to save my life...but this band automatically made me dance...and that's how good they really were...
I just love this live version, its a great tune, well constructed sonically and the lyrics are superb...The Coconuts are an added bonus... reminds me of Cab Calloway and the influence of George Clinton and the Parliment / Funkadelic crew seems apparent..:-)
Agree, just great! I used to think it was Darnell as one of the two lead singers in Was Not Was "Walk the Dinosaur" a few years later - check out the video for that one! It's not him, but the two guys look really alike, WTD had a quartet of lightly-dressed girls just like the Coconuts, and the song is in much the same vein musically... :)
They were such an amazing, and surprising ‘80s act - just out of nowhere... I saw them once in Århus, Denmark back then. Fantastic - in a small indoor sports arena with only 4.500 they gave it all away. And that was at their peak. Gee i loved it...
I caught 3 nights of this tour. 2 in Edinburgh. 1 in Glasgow. As a 16 year old boy I was as obsessed by the coconuts as I was by August and Coatimundi. (He's small, he's bald, but most of all he's adorable) I was word perfect with Off the Coast of Me, Fresh Fruit, and Topical Gangsters, standing in the front row in my zoot suit, two tone brouges and 8 panel cap. In a world of 80s electronica, that band was a tight as two coats of paint live, and the coconuts' dance routines were equally as tight. Without a shadow of doubt, KC&tC were the musical and visual highlight of the 80s.
Live better than in the studio . With the prettiest background singers ever. Leave it to Kid to find the beauty Queen that can sing . Everything is Hot about this video . Perfect dance music . You have your house dj's , I'll try to dance on this. Brilliant.
1982 ,going to the disco in my car ,this number on the cd volume up ,my friends in the back ,looked like wayne,s world hahaha !!! Kid creole thanks for that happy time !!!
I saw them once in 1986 in seattle at a festival called bumpershoot in a 20000 seat hall and to this day remember being quite entertained- the band was funny and listening to how funky they are no wonder I liked them.
There are elements of parliament funkadelic as well as sly and the family Stone in this clip. This here is some wuality music with that extra flair to make ya swing 😃🎶
I must say that Rockpalast was one of the best life TV programs on German network but thanks to TV distribution we were able to see our idols in real life concerts and this one was just fabulous and Kid & coconuts always been part of permanent music collection for several decades
@@tomasvanecek8626 Absolutely! Criminally under-appreciated. Great time for music in NYC...Talking Heads, Blondie, Laurie Anderson, The Roches, and so many more.
Just 2 days ago, after many years, I put on the platter their Tropical Gangsters album... I know them through and through, I even watched THIS Rockpalast show LIVE on TV back then. And I tell you - I was amazed, how tight the band was.. I mean, like nothing I´ve ever heard .. they were fkn incredible, and thats why I loved them ever since
August Darnell once sent over a bottle of champagne to my table in the MIllionaire Club in Manchester in the '80s. A gent PLUS a fantastic band. Happy Memories
The Kid and his fellows/ coconuts could really bring the public to heights of extasy. Never forgot the night I enjoyed them💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾
Hair was big, music was phenomenal; kids I give you 80's music!
Until about 85 music was superb, so much quality and talent.
War 1982 dabei in Essen beim Rockpalast, funktastisch und nach all den Jahren immer noch nicht angestaubt. Toller 😀
Habe 82 ZZTop in der Gruga gesehen. Total müde, vorher kamen Joan Armatrading, The Blues Band und noch ne Band. Das waren gute Zeiten. Und der WDR war noch nicht auf links getrimmt 🎸🎸🎸🎸
What a showman......fantastic bunch of musicians......one of my favourite bands,when I was a teenager in the 80s uk

Too Much Luv comes Off/Out as perhaps 'Counterfeit', aka Fake_Luv? Who Do YOU Luv? Show ME yur Money, Baby. But Do It Before You Check Out. OK?
this was a way underrated band, i saw them three times, I was in love with one of the Coconuts, how could you not be?
It is all a perfect union between music and show those girls are very good especially for a 64 years old person like me well!
A warm greeting people ❤️🌹🤓🇮🇹
saw it 1982 on Rockpalast tv and dance the night alone - 16 years old and full of coconut girl dreams!
Saw them about this time in the uK, probably the best live show I've ever seen
Esas chicas me han elevado la moral!!
This is feel good music,makes me want to get out of my wheelchair and dance the night away
Ritz NYC 1982 what are you going to do "get back" finished the show with me and my friends on stage with the Kid. Great times.
Kid was successful but he deserved much more. No one like him has been able to blend Latin, Soul and Funky in an explosive mixture. Unique artist with overwhelming movements. I love you Kid
except Cab Calloway....:)
Couldn't agree more!
Steely Dan are a good shout. If you like this I'm sure you'll love it. Peace.
Greg Stewart ummm Steely Dan are more jazz influenced.
It's junk.
