This is what Dr Huxtable said on the "Cosby show" , that "no 14yr old boy should have a $95 shirt unless he is dancing on stage with his four brothers"
@@E-MASON Nah bruh. I'm from the Gary area. I saw this early. Each of these cats had talent. They toured as a self contained act [Gladys Knight and Bobby Taylor saw them live and insisted that Gordy needed to see them] unlike today's groups who have a lot of adults on stage with them playing and singing background. Everybody knows how great Mike was, but The Jackson 5 were no slouches.
The sad part is they tried to dog the man who created these talented men, their father. Just the same as MJJ, Bill Cosby, R. Kelly, Diddy, Ye/Kanye, and many more Black entertainers in Hollyhell. Black Love!
Jesus... After seeing this, you remember how talented these brothers really were. Jermaine and Tito really killed those guitars, Marlon and Jackie could really dance. But that one in the middle. Lawd, for years the music industry has searched for another like him. Please Justin Beiber and even a young Usher couldn't hold a candle to him on their best day. Man I sure do miss him.
i give the credit to Joe Jackson. He instilled excellence in his boys. tito is on record as saying he appreciates his dad for being tuff. all his peers from gary ind are dead or in jail.
I was there!!!! My grandpa took me and I screamed so much I lost my voice for a few days. My grandpa also said he would never take me to another concert because of all of the screaming!!!! We had a great time, even though I lost my scarf - but who cares!!!! This was at West Side High School, Gary, IN
yes even though their father was critized as a very srtict abusive but still if not for him there will no be jackson 5 for give him but thank him for giving us such a oerfect brothers group and thanks to the almighty for sharing them to us
Now this is amazing...no faking here...no pre program vocals and music...straight performing, band and instrumentation...LIVE...I honestly have never seen the Jackson perform this good for real....awesome!
MICHAEL'S VOCALS WERE SO UNBELIEVABLY CRISP, SHARP, & CLEAR, WIT HIS BROTHER'S, & ALL WERE ON 1 ACCORD. I LOVE SAYIN THIS BECAUSE IT NEVER WILL PLAY OUT & ALWAYS REMAIN TRUE. WE CAN'T B TOUCHED. THANK U LORD GOD ALMIGHTY YOURSELF. ( 3 )
Sometimes I think we all need to sit and watch these old clips of these lads to truly appreciate the phenomenon they were…and of course a young Michael Jackson, god that kid just had the groove.
The highest price as $6.50! Those were the best seats and you saw more than one act. Not like today where you're paying $200 to see one act. Okay. I'm exaggerating, but you pay a pretty penny. Back then you paid a little for a lot of R aw, nothing but, talent!
Alexandra Dillard I remember the highest I paid was $10 and I was in the front. Every time The Jacksons came to my hometown Philly and nearby New Jersey I was there. I skipped the Victory tour because it was a mess with Don King as the promoter. I can remember Michael being upset about how expensive the tickets were and you had to buy four tickets together and that was the only way you could buy them . The fans were upset and didn’t want to purchase the tickets. Michael had to intervene and change how they were selling the tickets Mike never wanted to do that tour. He didn’t like Don King as a promoter he that he was a crooked and he was. It was supposed to be the reunion tour except Jackie’s wife hit he with her car for cheating with Paula Abdul so he couldn’t perform. Anyway, it was their worst tour because the brothers didn’t get along. It was MJ’s last tour with them. Michael donated all his money from the tour to charity.
Michael was basically 12 or 13 when he was doing this show that's amazing to have that much KNOW...that much pure talent that much energy that much drive to do this much work at such a young age. To have this much power over a crowd what he had couldn't have been taught he was born to do this. I still don't understand to this day how so much talent can be in one family. They all rocked and slayed the J5 and Jackson era. Never be a group like them.
LOL I never considered of them as a boy-band! They were actually, a BAND! You're right!!! I usually think of boy-bands nowadays, as dancers with auto-tune!! ha
Give Joe Jackson his due credit here - regardless of his parenting style . He did what Tiger Woods, Beyonce and the Williams Sisters fathers did; he groomed self-actualized human beings.
This is the footage they tried to hide from you. It shows what we saw in the beginning. 5 talented brothers with the eventual greatest entertainer of all time as lead singer. The J5 was the real deal.
Exactly!!!...how come we dont have more full clear footage of them brothas when they were performing in front of all Black audiences that watched their cartoons Saturday morning and bugged our parents to buy the damn Sugar Bear & Alphabits cereal looking for the lil record on the back of the box???
@@stacyharris9008 i remember seeing in 1971 when Marlon announced during their performance that the cartoon was airing. My sisters, mom and I watched it every Saturday morning too.
YALL GOTTA REMEMBER: MIKE WAS ONLY 12 YEARS OLD HERE, THE BROTHERS WERE ALL ONLY TEENS. THEY BE OWNING THE STAGE LIKE THEY BEEN DOIN IT FOR YEARS. THIS FAMILY REALLY SET THE BAR FOR MUSIC IN THE 70s. name ONE teenager today who could bring as much as energy, talent and professionalism as one of these jacksons kids, I WONT WAIT CUZ THERE AINT NONE.
No one today is even close. Today you see maybe a lead singer, a cardboard cut out group, and a supporting cast of full grown adults handling the musicianship and backing vocals. The Jacksons were self contained. They only performed with 2 additional adults (Roderick Rancifer on keyboards and Johnny Jackson on drums). That's it. The Jackson 5 were the real thing folks.
@@sexydancer8559 I know. I was watching a documentary, one of many on Mike. Bobby Taylor, who actually discovered the J5 said Johnny and Ronnie were just as much a part the J5, but not given the recognition.
I know, right!?! I just saw this video for the first time recently and Jermaine's playing stood out to me more than anything. And he was SEVENTEEN here!! He could have played in literally any band in the world. Like he could have played with Led Zeppelin and done perfectly fine.
Marlon, Jackie and Michael danced their butts off. Tito and Jermaine played their butts off and they all sang their butts off. But the dance intro to Issac Hayes "Walk on by" at 8:20 was the bomb. They showed out on that routine !!!
Tito's rhythms and solos along with Jermaine's bass runs kept the groove going throughout. Jackie showed great leadership. Marlon and Michael danced their little hearts out. All the vocals were just right. I grew up listening to the Jackson 5 and I had forgotten how great they really were.
These highlights showcasing pure talent are far better than the 2 hours of dancers, explosions, flashing lights and sound effects that are today's concerts.
Even at that age, he sounds as good live, if not better, than recordings! I don't know another artist that does it so as well! In fact, I don't think I've I've EVER heard him sing a a single sour note! WTH, man?!!!!
I know right Jermaine was a beast on that bass and what's crazy is no one ever gave him any appreciation for killin it at that young of an age.He was all of what 17 at that time too.
Yea, I know! I guess I always assumed it was a studio musician for many recordings! But after seeing more live performances, a beast he IS!! Interesting fact about the group: I discovered in the documentary, SITSOM, the sound Motown defined for them is called "Bubblegum Soul!" lol Isn't that PERFECT!!! Doesn't it depict this vibe to a TEE???!
Meh! I'm a huge Prince fan and miss him too. He was similarly amazing, but not equal. Both, powerful artists, but not alike. Prince was more musician, Michael, more performer. In his biggest moment, Billie Jean, for the first 2 mins, he didn't sing or touch an instrument, but killed it! - while Princess never had a dance-solo, not really. Michael, on the other hand, would scarcely no what to do just playing an instrument for 2 mins... while Prince would rip it! The two are really great, but I think Mike, since age 5, takes the performing award. -And I know the Prince die-hard fans might give me a lashing for saying so, but I think most folks will agree. I think.
Holy moly! I thought I knew the Jackson 5 as a kid just based off their records! However.. This has to be the most explosive footage I’ve ever seen of the J5! They were massive live! Please let’s stop talking disrespectful of the brothers! We all know that Michael was a fucking supernova but the group was a complete package and deserves the respect of one of the greatest groups ever! In my Don Cornelius voice.. let’s give it up for the mighty mighty Jackson 5! 💯👊🏽🎶🔥
Try ... I was there!!! It was amazing... I was surprised the concert went to the end , cause the audience was known to storm the stage when the Jackson 5 preformed!!!...it was unforgettable.
I agree! I saw them in 1971 at the San Francisco Cow Palace. When they first came onstage the DJ/MC threatened to stop the show if the audience didn’t calm down. I’ll bet there would’ve been a storm that night!
I so agree with you. My very first time seeing them was in June 1970 at the San Francisco/ Daly City Cow Palace. A lot of women were being carried out that night 😄. One woman was carried out in a black blouse and girdle 😁😁. The place was kind of a mess when it over. Another interesting tidbit about that night. Ike and Tina Turner were supposed to appear but Jerry Butler stepped in because Tina was “sick “. It took me years to figure it out. I did want to see them too but Jerry was cool. Anyway it was a memorable experience.
That's because he was Never a good bass player nor Tito on guitar. As musicians they never show much. Although a Great Boy Band Tito and Jermaine never played with the funk brothers or on any Motown tracks. Motown also had professional background singers on the early music.
great music , great singing, great guitar, bass playing, keyboard, drums, great dancing. great concert. best boy band and most talented, Jackson 5 lives on
Thanks Guys for helping me get through The early 1970's,This music helped me get through a rough relationship,riots in school, trouble in the streets....so Thanks again to the entire band for the music...I would mow lawns and go to the M&M Music Store and buy the Album's & 45's... whatever the band put out!
I got to see them through a cyclone fence in Robertsdale, IN, just about 20 miles from Gary in our lilly white town. Tickets were 5 bucks, didn't have it, but saw them for free through the fence. Two years later they were playing at the Air Crown Theater, McCormick Place for $5. Drove up there real quick and had 2-3 row tickets. Great show too.
I saw this SAME SHOW in HOUSTON. I could write a BOOK on just attending this ONE CONCERT. I still get CHILLS just THINKING about that SHOW --- WOW!!! and to EXPERIENCE it on a TRULY DEEPLY PERSONAL LEVEL. The ( GROOVY ) ANXIETY of knowing I would be going to this CONCERT, and the BUZZ that was inside the BUILDING, EVERYBODY was JOYFULLY ZOOMING on the ONE. One of the GREATEST CONCERTS I have EVER ( EVER ) ATTENDED: We were ( TRUE ) F A N S of the MIGHTY, MIGHTY JACKSON 5, STANDING UP and DANCING quickly RUSHING the STAGE / EVERY CHANCE WE GOT. To be just a LITTLE CLOSER to see , FACE TO FACE the FAMILY of FANTASTIC BROTHERS; SINGING, DANCING, and CREATING that FUNKY, FUNKY BEAT. OH YEAH ( YEAH, YEAH ) as the LIMOUSINES were leaving the HOUSTON COLISEUM --- We ran as FAST as we could to get a GLIMPSE of GREATNESS --- THE JACKSON 5 were as SHOCKED to see us SO CLOSE as we were to SEE THEM. OH, MEMORIES so CLOSE to my HEART, as if it was just ONE MINUTE AGO. On MANY of those TOUR DATES / LIONEL RICHIE and THE COMMODORES were the JACKSON 5 / OPENING ACT. LIVE YOUR DREAM INTO EXISTENCE MY BLESSED BROTHERS AND SISTERS. TAKE CARE --- LOVE AND PEACE.
These guys were so good. I consider it a privilege to live in an era growing up with them to see them perform. Every once in a while true gems are born.
The Jackson 5 was a band , with Michael as their front man. The Jacksons were a singing group. For what ever reason Tito did not get any credit. when he is basically the same thing as Eddie Van Halen was for his grouo.
I hate the Tito jokes; and the way people shade the J5 group. They had real talent all around. You are hearing a track play in the background, with a slew of grown musicians playing the real music. You are hearing the Jackson 5 with only two additional sidemen.
Exactly!!!...I still don't understand why people joke around with Tito's role in this group's history...if Joe Jackson hadn't made him play his guitar after he broke that string there may never have been a Jackson 5!!!
❤ Such memories. I still have my ticket stub when I saw the J5 & The Commodores for $7.50 in the 10th row. What a show!! This video brings back great memories❤ ❤❤❤
I found this about a year ago. This was my first concert-I was eleven, and my parents took us! I have a new appreciation for these guys, watching 50 years later. Kick-ass musicians, hella talent, and a really tight show! I am a substitute teacher, and dialed this up for some fourth grader's-EVERY KID knows and loves MJ-no matter their age! One student thought I had recorded the show with my phone! HAHA!!!
That group was so talented and Michael had such skill at a young age. New edition is on earth at that age and gifted, but the jacksons were in space looking down at earth!!👊
But I was very proud and happy for the way that the family held it together and continued to perform and sellout venues all over the world and I very happy with the way Michael handled himself becoming the biggest star in the world and I am still proud of him because I loved him so much and I miss him and the rest of the family for having the success that they had because sometimes I felt that I was with them but almighty God blacked it out of my mind when I performed with them and that’s why they am getting chills watching them right now because Mike and the guys were so professional and I still got lots of love for them and I never stopped loving them and I hope one day again that we all can get together on stage again and perhaps perform again together someday soon
I saw these guys perform live on Caracas television for our Saturday variety show just a few years later than this, and they were totally on fire!! Man, the ‘70s were the best decade in which to have a childhood. 🙂 In hindsight, I wouldn’t have chosen any other decade to grow up in! 🕺🏼
Great sound and performances. I smiled all the way through. I'm 63 and was there at those concerts in Chicago back then. Jermaine is one of my favorite singing bass players.
Marcus Miller, who was Miles Davis' bass player, once was asked, of all the concerts he ever saw in person, what was the best? His answer: The Jackson Five. Didn't really get that answer then. Now I do.
I think these young lads have a real gift. I hope someone discovers them because i think they'll really go somewere with this. Especially that little one.
This is my first jackson 5 live concert and this so much better than most concerts today they realy are good and as sad and as unfair as life is the best one always goes first miss you micheal rest in peace God bless your soul..2018
Ok I can't stop watching this--I LOVVVVVVE that dang "Walk On"!!!! That's funkiest I think I've ever seen from them. I lovvvve that!!!!!!! Walk on!! (guitar jamming) 8:20, even from the very beginning---the precision in their steps. God, I'm in love all over again, lolol. They're all seniors now (wink), but watching these videos make me feel like that little girl who was so crazy about these fine young brothers 50 yrs ago!
I was Janet's age when all this was going on, so of course I was way too young to go to any of their concerts back then, but I am glad fans who were old enough to experience them in concert have uploaded all these wonderful videos for me to watch now. Although I know watching on UA-cam is nothing like being there live. #Jackson5 #MichaelJackson
I’ve never seen Michael being more of a superstar than his brothers because they were introduced to me as the Jackson 5 and the rest is history. It made my childhood absolutely wonderful.😎
The Jackson 5 was the first concert I went to in Detroit around 1971. I was visiting my sister in the summer and the Commodres open for them. I was 13 years old. Great performers.
So I believe this was at the Black Expo in the Indpls.Convention Center. I was there and only 8 years old ..my mom God bless her, made sure that I saw good music. I think we were the only white folks in the audience! Thankx for posting this. What a show.
I have absolutely loved J5 since I was a kid back in the 60's. My dad made sure that I attended every J5 concert at the Cow Palace in SF, since it was right in the neighborhood. . However, with the 'loss' of MJ, their fam is having a lot of issues (as expected) with the lost a beloved brother, but also the heart of the family talent. Prayers out to the Jackson's as hey have endured and sacrificed much for our enjoyment.
I totally and always love Michael Jackson and the Jackson brothers singing and dancing together. They are just awesome and incredible performers. I love you all ♥️♥️♥️
Best Footage of the J5 Ever and "One performance" that helped them conquer THE WORLD with their MUSIC . . . . I only wish that MoTown and CBS would have let these Brothers do more of this RAW sound on their Albums! J5's "Get It Together" came close . . . RIP MJ . . .
Even though I wasn’t born until 2001 and now I’m 21 I just have to say the scene makes me feel the music in the magic there you can see the stage lights, the energy of the people happy smiling faces the blue stars if you notice you can see the blue stars shining every count of the music and you can feel the rhythm of the bee in your heart
These guys just like The Osmond Brothers worked very very hard. so many hits and loved by most everyone. I just don’t think we’ll ever see the greatness of these kind of entertainers from the 50s and 60s and 70s ever again. As a young kid of the 1970s, I consider myself truly blessed to have seen on television the greats of Sammy Davis Junior… The Jackson 5…Frank Sinatra… Elvis and so many others. Good luck ever seeing that kind of talent all at one time on this planet.
i was there this tour came to miami 1971 thanks for posting great sound quality. this tour inspired me to me musician/ Basist / Piano /Drums Production Engineering/ Touring Bands etc. thanks Jackson . special thanks on Bass Jermaine Jackson. he was at least 15 yrsold Playing Bass Guitar with a groove /Drive. backed by their Cousins on drums / keyboard
I’m trying to learn the bass and lead guitars at my age of 65 now, so I have a new found respect for teenagers Tito and Jermaine (at the time) being able to sing and dance while playing their guitars back then.
I remember seeing the going back to Indiana tv Special on tv in the fall of 71.They had bill Cosby,Tom smuthers,and a musical basketball ball game with Rosie Greer.We begged my father to take us to see the Jackson 5 when they came to the Chicago amphitheater that next year.
Pretty amazing, especially after watching this very early performance, that after March 12, 2017 all of the surviving members of the original Jackson 5 will be at least 60 years old.
dont understand why berry gordy wouldnt let tito and jermaine play on their studio albums,they played their instruments live without missing a note,unlike other bands live.

Destroying it!!!!

Wonderful memories I bet.
If this was in Indianapolis at the fairgrounds, I was too. Amazing that this was preserved
I remember being a little boy in 1971. Mama yelled for me and my brothers to come inside and see these boys on TV. I'll never forget that day.
Michael's voice at the age is powerful
Now this is amazing...no faking here...no pre program vocals and music...straight performing, band and instrumentation...LIVE...I honestly have never seen the Jackson perform this good for real....awesome!
Check out the Japan concert.
LCMemphis/TCity Productions - I AGREE 100%. Bout time
Agreed.
I wish this entire concert of film was available! Would love to see them perform "Who's Loving You" live!
They lip sync before

Joe train Jermaine I know when Joe hear bass odessy he went crazy like that my boy
Jermaine came up in the " House of James Jamerson" for real!!! That good at 16... playing AND singing!! When he hit that lick on " Higher"....🔥💯
Nobody can say MJ didn't carry them either!! Joe beat them all into greatness,MJ was just gifted! What a voice! Nobody can take that away ❤❤❤
That bass playing was out of this world! Wild, soulful and skillful.
I know dude, right?!? Absolutely blew me away. And he was SEVENTEEN at the time!! What a talent!!
Marlon, Jackie and Michael danced their butts off. Tito and Jermaine played their butts off and they all sang their butts off. But the dance intro to Issac Hayes "Walk on by" at 8:20 was the bomb. They showed out on that routine !!!
Takes me back
Marlon showed out 😂
❤❤❤❤

How could you?
Tito was killing the lead guitar solo too
I see the old soul that everyone uses to describe MJ during the walk on part.
Literally one of the dopest groups in HISTORY. I was born in 1975. Because of them I wish I was older. 💯
Jermaine KILLING on Bass and Johnny on drums!! holding it down on Feeling alright! DAYUMMM!
These highlights showcasing pure talent are far better than the 2 hours of dancers, explosions, flashing lights and sound effects that are today's concerts.
Damn this was great! And give it up for Tito and Jermaine!!
My mom named me after Jermaine Jackson
They are really playing those instruments, impressive.
Raymond give the drummer some credit for playing so good.
@@pbarnes8952 The drummer is great. No denying that.
Even at that age, he sounds as good live, if not better, than recordings! I don't know another artist that does it so as well! In fact, I don't think I've I've EVER heard him sing a a single sour note! WTH, man?!!!!
I know right Jermaine was a beast on that bass and what's crazy is no one ever gave him any appreciation for killin it at that young of an age.He was all of what 17 at that time too.
Yea, I know! I guess I always assumed it was a studio musician for many recordings! But after seeing more live performances, a beast he IS!! Interesting fact about the group: I discovered in the documentary, SITSOM, the sound Motown defined for them is called "Bubblegum Soul!" lol Isn't that PERFECT!!! Doesn't it depict this vibe to a TEE???!
prince
Yeah your right Prince was something else,equally amazing man I miss him too!!!!
Meh! I'm a huge Prince fan and miss him too. He was similarly amazing, but not equal. Both, powerful artists, but not alike. Prince was more musician, Michael, more performer. In his biggest moment, Billie Jean, for the first 2 mins, he didn't sing or touch an instrument, but killed it! - while Princess never had a dance-solo, not really. Michael, on the other hand, would scarcely no what to do just playing an instrument for 2 mins... while Prince would rip it! The two are really great, but I think Mike, since age 5, takes the performing award.
-And I know the Prince die-hard fans might give me a lashing for saying so, but I think most folks will agree. I think.
Never really thought about it, but the bassist is siiiiiiiiiiiiick!!!!!
Germaine was sixteen at the time and self taught on bass
Lorenzo Adamson -although he was self taught, he got plenty of "groove" lessons from the great bassist james jamerson! Motown's finest.
Welcome to the club. This is what I try to explain to people all the time. I saw the J5 live in these days. They were the truth.
@@lorenzoadamson6893 jermaine you mean ?
Tears in my eyes and my heart is jumping, this is so incredible....
A stage full of God-given talent, from one end to the next.
Michael Jackson is the very best talent of all times. Miss you now & forever ❤️❤️❤️
Justice For Michael ❤️
aren't you forgetting some brothers in the group
That "Walk On" intro (3:20) is EVERYTHING!!!
that’s feeling alright
Holy moly! I thought I knew the Jackson 5 as a kid just based off their records! However.. This has to be the most explosive footage I’ve ever seen of the J5! They were massive live! Please let’s stop talking disrespectful of the brothers! We all know that Michael was a fucking supernova but the group was a complete package and deserves the respect of one of the greatest groups ever! In my Don Cornelius voice.. let’s give it up for the mighty mighty Jackson 5! 💯👊🏽🎶🔥
Try ... I was there!!! It was amazing... I was surprised the concert went to the end , cause the audience was known to storm the stage when the Jackson 5 preformed!!!...it was unforgettable.
I agree! I saw them in 1971 at the San Francisco Cow Palace. When they first came onstage the DJ/MC threatened to stop the show if the audience didn’t calm down. I’ll bet there would’ve been a storm that night!
@@alexandradillard2077 wow 🤩 just incredible. Thanks for sharing your story 😊J5❤️
@@dedehe7582 unbelievably amazing! 🎶❤️J5
I so agree with you. My very first time seeing them was in June 1970 at the San Francisco/ Daly City Cow Palace. A lot of women were being carried out that night 😄. One woman was carried out in a black blouse and girdle 😁😁. The place was kind of a mess when it over. Another interesting tidbit about that night. Ike and Tina Turner were supposed to appear but Jerry Butler stepped in because Tina was “sick “. It took me years to figure it out. I did want to see them too but Jerry was cool. Anyway it was a memorable experience.
Jermaine doesn’t get the credit he deserves as a bass player
For sure. And he was SEVENTEEN during this show!!
Jermaine Jackson was my mom’s favorite. So she named me after him. lol 🤷🏾♂️
That's because he was Never a good bass player nor Tito on guitar. As musicians they never show much. Although a Great Boy Band Tito and Jermaine never played with the funk brothers or on any Motown tracks. Motown also had professional background singers on the early music.

😱😳🙄
great music , great singing, great guitar, bass playing, keyboard, drums, great dancing. great concert. best boy band and most talented, Jackson 5 lives on
Joe produce a mega talented act and made them superstars one of a kind the Jackson 5,I love them,grew up listening to there music!
Thanks Guys for helping me get through The early 1970's,This music helped me get through a rough relationship,riots in school, trouble in the streets....so Thanks again to the entire band for the music...I would mow lawns and go to the M&M Music Store and buy the Album's & 45's... whatever the band put out!
How did Jermaine play the bass so good @ that age.
The bass lines are superb
This performance really shows how talented each individual was in the Jackson 5

I was fortunate to see them on their first concert tour. Just Amazing!
I got to see them through a cyclone fence in Robertsdale, IN, just about 20 miles from Gary in our lilly white town. Tickets were 5 bucks, didn't have it, but saw them for free through the fence. Two years later they were playing at the Air Crown Theater, McCormick Place for $5. Drove up there real quick and had 2-3 row tickets. Great show too.
@@daschundloverable was the show at St John church parking lot?
This is so awesome!! Anyone who was able to see them live at any point in life I'm sooo jealous
LeKa Danielle , December, 1970 and April, 1971, also 1980, 1981.
James Alford 🙌🏾
My dad saw him live in San Francisco when was little!! I wish he got to see Micheal in his solo tours!!
I saw this SAME SHOW in HOUSTON. I could write a BOOK on just attending this ONE
CONCERT. I still get CHILLS just THINKING about that SHOW --- WOW!!! and to EXPERIENCE it on a TRULY DEEPLY PERSONAL LEVEL. The ( GROOVY ) ANXIETY of knowing I would be going to this CONCERT, and the BUZZ that was inside the BUILDING,
EVERYBODY was JOYFULLY ZOOMING on the ONE. One of the GREATEST CONCERTS I have
EVER ( EVER ) ATTENDED: We were ( TRUE ) F A N S of the MIGHTY, MIGHTY JACKSON 5,
STANDING UP and DANCING quickly RUSHING the STAGE / EVERY CHANCE WE GOT.
To be just a LITTLE CLOSER to see , FACE TO FACE the FAMILY of FANTASTIC BROTHERS;
SINGING, DANCING, and CREATING that FUNKY, FUNKY BEAT. OH YEAH ( YEAH, YEAH ) as the LIMOUSINES were leaving the HOUSTON COLISEUM --- We ran as FAST as we could to get a GLIMPSE of GREATNESS --- THE JACKSON 5 were as SHOCKED to see us SO CLOSE as we were to SEE THEM. OH, MEMORIES so CLOSE to my HEART, as if it was just ONE
MINUTE AGO. On MANY of those TOUR DATES / LIONEL RICHIE and THE COMMODORES
were the JACKSON 5 / OPENING ACT. LIVE YOUR DREAM INTO EXISTENCE MY BLESSED
BROTHERS AND SISTERS. TAKE CARE --- LOVE AND PEACE.
THE JACKSON FIVE FOR LIFE! 2021.
I miss the anticipation of waiting for a song and dance concert to come to town . 🙃 J5 gave all they hide in a performance .
I wasn't the biggest Jackson's fan growing up, but 8:25 - 10:23 completely blew my mind. This is incredible footage and an amazing performance 👏🏾.
These guys were so good. I consider it a privilege to live in an era growing up with them to see them perform. Every once in a while true gems are born.
The Jackson 5 was a band , with Michael as their front man. The Jacksons were a singing group. For what ever reason Tito did not get any credit. when he is basically the same thing as Eddie Van Halen was for his grouo.
Yes, he did ! In Gary we knew and celebrated his talent as we did them all.
I hate the Tito jokes; and the way people shade the J5 group. They had real talent all around. You are hearing a track play in the background, with a slew of grown musicians playing the real music. You are hearing the Jackson 5 with only two additional sidemen.
What??
Exactly!!!...I still don't understand why people joke around with Tito's role in this group's history...if Joe Jackson hadn't made him play his guitar after he broke that string there may never have been a Jackson 5!!!
@@stacyharris9008 no jackson 5 = no Michael jackson. Thank you tito
What is the much better word to describe their performance.... The best, superb, great, ............all the best
To think that they did all this live is mind blowing.....
For real! This is about as good as a live performance as a band could ever have, and they were KIDS!! Jermaine is absolutely fire on bass.
❤ Such memories. I still have my ticket stub when I saw the J5 & The Commodores for $7.50 in the 10th row. What a show!! This video brings back great memories❤ ❤❤❤
I found this about a year ago. This was my first concert-I was eleven, and my parents took us! I have a new appreciation for these guys, watching 50 years later. Kick-ass musicians, hella talent, and a really tight show! I am a substitute teacher, and dialed this up for some fourth grader's-EVERY KID knows and loves MJ-no matter their age! One student thought I had recorded the show with my phone! HAHA!!!
That group was so talented and Michael had such skill at a young age. New edition is on earth at that age and gifted, but the jacksons were in space looking down at earth!!👊
I loved the J5. Their music, singing, dancing were phenomenal. Fifty four years after I first heard them, no group compares. Absolutely phenomenal.
But I was very proud and happy for the way that the family held it together and continued to perform and sellout venues all over the world and I very happy with the way Michael handled himself becoming the biggest star in the world and I am still proud of him because I loved him so much and I miss him and the rest of the family for having the success that they had because sometimes I felt that I was with them but almighty God blacked it out of my mind when I performed with them and that’s why they am getting chills watching them right now because Mike and the guys were so professional and I still got lots of love for them and I never stopped loving them and I hope one day again that we all can get together on stage again and perhaps perform again together someday soon
I saw these guys perform live on Caracas television for our Saturday variety show just a few years later than this, and they were totally on fire!! Man, the ‘70s were the best decade in which to have a childhood. 🙂 In hindsight, I wouldn’t have chosen any other decade to grow up in! 🕺🏼
Great sound and performances. I smiled all the way through. I'm 63 and was there at those concerts in Chicago back then. Jermaine is one of my favorite singing bass players.
Marcus Miller, who was Miles Davis' bass player, once was asked, of all the concerts he ever saw in person, what was the best? His answer: The Jackson Five. Didn't really get that answer then. Now I do.
I think these young lads have a real gift. I hope someone discovers them because i think they'll really go somewere with this. Especially that little one.
This is my first jackson 5 live concert and this so much better than most concerts today they realy are good and as sad and as unfair as life is the best one always goes first miss you micheal rest in peace God bless your soul..2018
I saw this concert when they came to Tennessee
Ok I can't stop watching this--I LOVVVVVVE that dang "Walk On"!!!! That's funkiest I think I've ever seen from them. I lovvvve that!!!!!!! Walk on!! (guitar jamming) 8:20, even from the very beginning---the precision in their steps. God, I'm in love all over again, lolol. They're all seniors now (wink), but watching these videos make me feel like that little girl who was so crazy about these fine young brothers 50 yrs ago!
I was Janet's age when all this was going on, so of course I was way too young to go to any of their concerts back then, but I am glad fans who were old enough to experience them in concert have uploaded all these wonderful videos for me to watch now. Although I know watching on UA-cam is nothing like being there live. #Jackson5 #MichaelJackson
Jermaine is playing the sh*t out of that bass guitfiddle man !!!
He was the truth on bass. It was surreal.
I’ve never seen Michael being more of a superstar than his brothers because they were introduced to me as the Jackson 5 and the rest is history. It made my childhood absolutely wonderful.😎
Seem like ppl forget about dis version of mj
How old are you I really don't think so
The Jackson 5 was the first concert I went to in Detroit around 1971. I was visiting my sister in the summer and the Commodres open for them. I was 13 years old. Great performers.
I was 11 when I saw them that year. Look at us giving away our ages 😄😄. Did you see them in 1970?
I just started to learn the bass about a year before this, I was a guitar player, when I saw Jermaine that night it was bass for me.
The Jackson Five Yes they was the group when I was young girl in the 70 I had friends over my house we will watch The Jackson Five Show Wow
12:57 Little Michael is a great singer. So adorable Michael
Don’t bother Michael & that’s my fav song; at that mark!
So I believe this was at the Black Expo in the Indpls.Convention Center. I was there and only 8 years old ..my mom God bless her, made sure that I saw good music. I think we were the only white folks in the audience! Thankx for posting this. What a show.
Is that you and your Mom at around 11:05
M, I saw 2 white people in this clip. Not sure if it were you. That’s amazing tho!
I have absolutely loved J5 since I was a kid back in the 60's. My dad made sure that I attended every J5 concert at the Cow Palace in SF, since it was right in the neighborhood. . However, with the 'loss' of MJ, their fam is having a lot of issues (as expected) with the lost a beloved brother, but also the heart of the family talent. Prayers out to the Jackson's as hey have endured and sacrificed much for our enjoyment.
Jermaine got that bass pumping!!!! Loving that bottom!!
I totally and always love Michael Jackson and the Jackson brothers singing and dancing together. They are just awesome and incredible performers. I love you all ♥️♥️♥️
I saw the Jackson Five in Cleveland , I'll never forget it.
I saw The Jackson 5 in Cleveland in 1971 when I was 9 years old and again in 1979 when I was 17. Both concerts were great! Loved them! Great memories!
They were simply amazing. Wow. Takes you back to an exciting time in the music industry. Raw talent.
Michael Jackson namber one the Best Is all of time ever!!!
Best Footage of the J5 Ever and "One performance" that helped them conquer THE WORLD with their MUSIC . . . . I only wish that MoTown and CBS would have let these Brothers do more of this RAW sound on their Albums! J5's "Get It Together" came close . . . RIP MJ . . .
Even though I wasn’t born until 2001 and now I’m 21 I just have to say the scene makes me feel the music in the magic there you can see the stage lights, the energy of the people happy smiling faces the blue stars if you notice you can see the blue stars shining every count of the music and you can feel the rhythm of the bee in your heart
The "blue stars" of which you speak were known as flash bulbs from the audiences "CAMERA'S. ?¿
@@jenniferinscoe3848 Ok my mistake so that’s what’s it’s called Flash bulbs Thank you Jennifer 😊
These guys just like The Osmond Brothers worked very very hard. so many hits and loved by most everyone. I just don’t think we’ll ever see the greatness of these kind of entertainers from the 50s and 60s and 70s ever again. As a young kid of the 1970s, I consider myself truly blessed to have seen on television the greats of Sammy Davis Junior… The Jackson 5…Frank Sinatra… Elvis and so many others. Good luck ever seeing that kind of talent all at one time on this planet.
Don’t please mention Osmond in the same breath as J5 !
i was there this tour came to miami 1971 thanks for posting great sound quality. this tour inspired me to me musician/ Basist / Piano /Drums Production Engineering/ Touring Bands etc. thanks Jackson . special thanks on Bass Jermaine Jackson. he was at least 15 yrsold Playing Bass Guitar with a groove /Drive. backed by their Cousins on drums / keyboard
I’m trying to learn the bass and lead guitars at my age of 65 now, so I have a new found respect for teenagers Tito and Jermaine (at the time) being able to sing and dance while playing their guitars back then.
wow this is amazing. Michael you really were the best from the moment you were born
I remember seeing the going back to Indiana tv Special on tv in the fall of 71.They had bill Cosby,Tom smuthers,and a musical basketball ball game with Rosie Greer.We begged my father to take us to see the Jackson 5 when they came to the Chicago amphitheater that next year.
Pretty amazing, especially after watching this very early performance, that after March 12, 2017 all of the surviving members of the original Jackson 5 will be at least 60 years old.
And they still got it.
OMG!!! This is the best video of them I have ever seen!
The bass is amazing
The bass is EVERYTHING!
Legendary bass performance!! Holy cow, this blew me away. Jermaine was SEVENTEEN playing like that.
dont understand why berry gordy wouldnt let tito and jermaine play on their studio albums,they played their instruments live without missing a note,unlike other bands live.
The Funk Brothers were the shit that why.
