    Their singer has lost nothing. Sounds just as good as when it first came out.

      +CV SoG are you deaf? drumming and guitar maybe, but the vocals are no where near as good.

    • @VultCult
      @VultCult 8 років тому +36

      Nope - thank you for sharing. Corey sounds really good.

    • @LeeSmilex

      +CV SoG yep corey is amazing - i saw them do vivid in full for it's 30th and he was doing shit he did as a young man in the 80's. crazy. his amazing grace accapella made the girl next to me cry. one of the greats for me.

    • @Nostaljack
      @Nostaljack 8 років тому +2

      +CV SoG Amen. He's a little less thunderous and slightly less deep but those high screams! Those made me cringe. How is he doing that at his age? The only thing I didn't love is the over-improv. He's clearly been doing the song for many years and is more or less just playing with it now. I get it though.

    • @Daniearp
      @Daniearp 8 років тому +7

      I wouldn't say he's exactly the same but at least 90%, his voice is aging better than almost all hard rock singers out there

  • @JerkMorrison
    @JerkMorrison 9 років тому +532

    Wil Calhoun is a criminally underrated drummer.

    • @chriscollins2261
      @chriscollins2261 9 років тому +10

      AGREED. he IS killer!!!

    • @chriscollins2261
      @chriscollins2261 9 років тому +1

      There's a YT clip of them in Australia and wils black,round bubble shades reminds me of an assasin ..

      John Mark Odom Underrated by who?

    • @emanuelemazzoni782

      He's a fucking beast!

      @jpcorradetti2576 8 років тому +3

      +John Mark Odom You are wrong , he is sponsor of mapex , sabian , vic firth , and play drums in living colour

  • @MrHeavy67
    @MrHeavy67 9 років тому +196

    A forgotten band from the 80's that should get more attention

  • @gladson41
    @gladson41 9 років тому +286

    Dang, his voice still the same after all these years. He is just amazing.

    • @Acoustribute
      @Acoustribute 9 років тому +10

      He's a trained actor so I'm sure he knows how treat his voice properly especially after doing a broadway stint of Jesus Christ superstar but yeah he does sound pretty damn good...

    • @pisynth3784
      @pisynth3784 9 років тому +2

      With you on that - actually staggered by how good his voice is, astonishing.

    • @Danielperezguitar
      @Danielperezguitar 9 років тому

      and the guitarrist sounds even more putrid than before

    • @Thekeon3
      @Thekeon3 9 років тому

      Warmonger YT i know what you mean...i would like to hear his "any note goes" style with a "brown" sound. His sound is always "fizzy" not even "fuzzy" it just sounds like a mistake to me. I do love his hectic approach but not the sound.I have met him 2x and he is a very good man and interviews on tv just don't show who he is. anyway I hear ya. lol

    • @Birdland-tz6bz
      @Birdland-tz6bz 9 років тому +3

      Yes, but I wished he kept his dreadlocks. Loved the way he used to dance around throwing them dreads around like some kind of tribal warrior.

  • @TimmyGMusic
    @TimmyGMusic 8 років тому +241

    All four of these guys are still MONSTER musicians. Awesome!

  • @miles6114
    @miles6114 8 років тому +237

    Vernon Reid signed my strat. He is a guitar god and incredibly underrated. Plus an incredibly nice guy!

    • @masternippleblaster
      @masternippleblaster 8 років тому +14

      +miles miltenberger True yet his sound (at least here) sucks to high heaven and I don't know why!????

    • @miles6114
      @miles6114 8 років тому +2

      I really cant tell if its the amps or the mics

    • @masternippleblaster
      @masternippleblaster 8 років тому +3

      miles miltenberger
      The only reason I am asking is the fact that Vernon is infamous for "nitpicking" when it comes to his sound... This sounds awful, like the amp is about to die!

    • @miles6114
      @miles6114 8 років тому +4

      yeah its pretty bad

    • @sdjklsdjksdjklf
      @sdjklsdjksdjklf 7 років тому +3

      +masternippleblaster You're judging his tone based off a UA-cam video? Do you know how sound works

  • @davidbuswa9425
    @davidbuswa9425 8 років тому +219

    Reid/Glover still got it. I loved this rendition. That crowd was dead to the greatness of Living Color. They didn't know they were in the presence of Rock Gods.

    • @Zappappappappa
      @Zappappappappa 8 років тому +13

      the design isn't really meant for moshing and going crazy as you can tell it's some kind of convention. If this were a festival the crowd would be tearing it up.

    • @davidbuswa9425
      @davidbuswa9425 8 років тому +5

      Daniel Mcgreevy I ain't buying the design rationale. The faces of the crowd says it all. They look confused and apprehensive. Most of the white audience(other then that one kid that is rocking out) have a "Who are these guys?" look. They have no clue whatsoever.

    • @jon-ericphoenixx7823
      @jon-ericphoenixx7823 8 років тому +4

      + David Buswa, I fully agree with you on that stance, & besides, this crowd will never understand Living Colour
      Oh, BTW, did you hear Corey tell the crowd " I hate you! "
      He felt their vibes & I don't blame him and the Band not one single bit.

    • @owendurkin6292
      @owendurkin6292 8 років тому +4

      Pretty sure you got that wrong bud...he was looking at Calhoun when he made that remark, which was made in jest.

    • @owendurkin6292
      @owendurkin6292 8 років тому +6

      the "convention" is NAMM which is the biggest annual music merchants trade show on the continent. Essentially, everyone present either plays, makes, or sells gear. The crowd knew exactly who they were watching.

  • @markowen6150
    @markowen6150 4 роки тому +10

      +Bob Yeah, they sound amazing. Shit, I've heard albums that don't sound as good as this performance. They're tight, and talented as hell. It seemed like the guitarist sat on the solo for a little while longer then the vocalist expected. I lol'd when that happened.

  • @padistedor

    I was just watching old clips of tunes I loved. Watched a few great ones of these guys when this came out around 90... Just incredible. That somehow/luckily brought me here. These guys still have it. They killed it. What's changed in 25 years? 1990 = crowds going nuts. Dancing. 2014 = rows and rows of people filming on their phones. Sigh. At least they clapped?
