Eek-A-Mouse had de crowd captured, strange style, interesting, and he is story telling, giving pieces of things happening in his life at that time. Timeless Clips.
Loved this as a kid, and still amazed at the lyrical power of Eek--A-Mouse as a mature man. Africa, Slavery, suffering, all tied up in those ding-dong and mi-nah-know diphthong sounds.
I saw eek a mouse in San Clemente at a small club and he was awesome! Maybe 150 people were there and he gave us the show I'll never forget! Long live the mouse!
Everyone is so high on fuckin Senii dat dem nah kno whatta Gwaaan !!!. Eek a mouse along with other greats are the true founders of hip hop music. In unbeknownst to a lot of people. Kool Herc & the Herculoids Pioneered rap from Jamaican toasting. God bless all the fore fathers of dancehall one luv
Killer delivery as always. Cutting it with a rolled up newspaper in his back pocket, what looks like his lunch in his jacket pocket and a money belt. How is this man so cool. Me na know...oh. Remember this when first broadcast. Watched it over and over together with Yellowman's performance. Awesome. Thanks for uploading.
wish i were alive for this. its just such a chill environment everyone smoking and just enjoying the music. no problems, no worries just relaxation and a good time....
Huahuahuahuahuahauhuahuahuahuahuahuahua... I almost died laughing when he said in the end "Tha' the chinese style". This guy is a true legend. He's far more "roots" than Bob Marley. He is the most "roots" in the entire Jamaica.
Remember this was 1989 things was eerily about to change.the vibes changed.the 80s DJs who are the BEST had to take a seat for the foolery of the 1990s DJs.🤔😟😭🤒
+Anthony Broaddus I sometimes had the same first reaction watching Sunsplash footage... for example check out the video here on YT titled: Michigan and Smiley - One Love Jam Town - Live 1982 (great footage!!). The audience also hardly moves there... Then I felt that these audiences were so present, paying so much attention to the performances and the experience... it was an attention that is hard to find nowadays at dances and concerts. Intense vibes, thanks fi di upload!!!
that..White..guitar player, sure looks like Andy Bassford to me, and he certainly knows what hes doing..played on a lot of reggae tunes..did a bunch for Joe Gibbs..look again son.
Eek-A-Mouse rule the groove at all time no doubt about it but this presentation is definitely too large for reality but glory to Jah it really true indeed.
They mainly listen to dancehall in jamaica. The crowds not feeling that ROOTS MUSIC. Thats why everyone is just standing around staring.They ain't feeling it.

What he is singing about is the actual struggle. RESPECT. He's no phony
😂😂😂😂
Eek a Mouse is real...
I love how everyone is just standing and staring at Eek-A-Mouse in awe. LOL, Bless up.
One of the best voices in Reggae history..
....The crowd was not ready for the extraterrestrial lyrics® in the 80's.
You are 100% correct on that..
Deep meditation music.......The best crowd ever. They look and listen and meditate on the lyrics.
Real talk

everyone was shocked at this new style me as well, his style you had to stop and listen to his story, you couldnt dance
Deep meditation music!!!.. The crowd is riding on the vibes.
So cool to see the actual time he said the recorded song I've listened to since the early 80s. One of the unique bands of all time.
Love eek a mouse style, he’s brilliant and respectful can be very difficult to understand, thanks eek a mouse, Your a one off........❤️💛💚❤️💛💚❤️
Legend! Saw him a few times over the years. His voice is like a steel drum
U think its just twang hes twanging
LISTEN to the words keenly ...the struggle is REAL !
This is an Example for all struggling artist out there. Just be tough and Confident like the mouse here.🕺
When reggae was really good. Strictly Roots and culture and the rhythmic live band just tight and good.
Eek a mouse is one of best reggae artist.
Everyone has a look of amazement on their faces, so did I when I saw him.
The crowd sitting there high out of their minds, reassessing their damn lives.
Big Facts ...🤜🤛

Eeka had some serious charisma. Two great backing bands also - Lloyd Parkes/We The People & Sagittarius.
neve enough mention of the reggae backing bands. all of them fire
Excellent signature style.Goood sense of humour.We need more MOUSE in the place,in .these times
eye don't think jamaica was ready for that hypnotic style yet
He was ahead of his times. It's the same thing biggie talks about on his records.
The great great Ekk. A Mouse run tings fe years, love him truly unique!

one of the most beautiful things ive ever heard :D
peace, love and pot!
This was when eek a mouse was the Man!!
Eek a Mouse hit hard with a new reggae style-master of language-
lyrical genius, would love to be at one of his gigs, Looks like the crowd smoked too much weed.
Lots of love from The Netherlands!
RESPECT for a true LION!!!
the message is STRONG...he reached 9600 km with his art all the way to me
to go on stage to a public of jamaicans as a jamaican and tell them "Let me teach you some Jamaican Patois! " This is having balls and being golden.
THIS REMINDS ME OF THE 80s smoking loads of red leb and all the crucial green sleeves releases anyone else remember that? Yellow an and the like
long live the king. eeka and yellow my all time faves
Handsome talented guy.
racing forum in back pocket. gangster. mouse loved the pony's.
Eek the freak. Dude is real life.
Tallest mouse in the house! ✌😎
The crowd like..What is this !? And Eek a Mouse do his thing Dont give a **** he sings about life
wish i were alive for this. its just such a chill environment everyone smoking and just enjoying the music. no problems, no worries just relaxation and a good time....
"Tha chinese style" is really funny and his facial expression got me laughing
holy fuck if this played at a reggae festival nowadays the crowd would be falling over themselves trying to get to the front
Huahuahuahuahuahauhuahuahuahuahuahuahua... I almost died laughing when he said in the end "Tha' the chinese style". This guy is a true legend. He's far more "roots" than Bob Marley. He is the most "roots" in the entire Jamaica.
love the second song...talk about style and pattern!!
Wicked piece of stage show!
WEH
Flexin' at 1:44. Rightfully goddamned so.

You sure? I was thinking more like '84
Or maybr even '81. It was early 80's im sure. We had this on video and i was young young. '89 seems too late
Well, perhaps It is what I perceived . but It seems to me a big crowd of zombies staring at this guy. If I were the I would be dancing like a fool
randall retana thats what im saying whu is nobody moving to this?
me too. us party people live forever.
randall retana mi
The cry of a people...Feel the love!
The bass hugs me tightly.
He became a major hit after this.
Fantastic song!!!!!

They're just paying close attention.....they look like me when I go to see my favorite reggae artists, I just take in everything they're saying
