      Since 1971 I saw James Brown about 100 times in concert he’s my all-time favorite singer. And when I would go to his concert my eyes would be on the stage the whole time I didn’t go there to move around too much and dance and miss any of the action.

      Because for those Midnight Special tapings, they were there for HOURS and saw a lot more music than the 90 minutes we saw on TV. I know this episode also featured the O’Jays. They surely could throw down, too. As you can see, it was also standing room only, or you sat on the floor. By the time James played these two songs (he did his whole set, by the way), I’m sure the audience was FRIED!!

      Watch James Brown's set at ABC's "In Concert" from the same year. The audience was LIT!!!! And it was a much funkier set.

      Also, I hate to admit it, but I think that crowd was there to see The O'Jays more than JB.
      James Brown's stage for his set was on one end of the room, and The O'Jays' stage was on the opposite end, technically the front of the house. JB was basically playing to the back of the room for The O'Jays' crowd, possibly.

    Did Mr. Brown just do a full hour by himself on this show?? So far I’ve seen from this episode: “Payback”, “My Thang”, “Papa/No Mess”, “Hell” “Cold Sweat/I can’t stand it/Papa’s Bag”. All that’s left is the ballads and u have a full concert.

    The bass guitar played by Fred Thomas is the same one that Bootsy Collins played 4 years earlier. The bass belonged to James, not Bootsy. However, it was purchased at Bootsy's request because he did not have a professional instrument.

      @@francisrobbins1499 Yeah man he had been loyal and nice to Mr Brown. Me and other JB fans consider him as the greatest sax player ever played with JB. Even greater than Maceo. In fact, he played with JB until about 1997 and quit early in 1999 because of his health condition and died shortly after that. It’s kinda sad people recognize Maceo, Pee Wee and Fred and forget about “Pink”!
