Some of the greatest talent
we ever worked with. I sat across the catering table from these folks for a half
an hour, So little ego !! That’s what knocked my
socks off….So much talent,
so little Ham. Oh yeah !!!
The best group vocalist .. best musical and visual production
Really set the Gold standard for all those vocalese groups that followed.
also saw 50th Anniversary show in Atlanta Georgia (Oct 2023)
aside from the tears of joy, TMT 'better' than ever !!!!!!
Jeez, they are one professional polished act. What a talented group of people!
I love Cheryl Bentyne. My wife understands. Thanks for posting!
There have been no others trying that could touch these amazing humans. RIP Tim Hauser :( .
To sing like this. You gotta love what you're doing.
The vocals are great! No surprise there. But that BAND!! Holy Moly!! They are incredibly tight. The bass player is walking from New York to LA!!
Was lucky enough to see them a couple of times in LA in the late 70’s early 80’s. There are no words for how great they are!
I just watched the whole thing and realize my face was hurting from having a grin for the entire time. I first saw them on their 1975 TV special and was so blown away at the time even though I was a kid in the rock era. I guess that was before Cheryl joined the group. I've come to love them more and more as the years go by. So sad that we lost Timmy. Would love to see them live again though. There are the most amazing vocal group ever and I will always love them.
First saw these amazing guys on "The Old Grey Whistle Test". I must have been about 15 or 16. Loved them ever since. RIP Tim.
Another amazing performance. I love Cheryl energy! I really wish I could have seen them perform live. They are so underrated. The Manhattan transfer definitely deserves their flowers .
I've been lucky enough to see them 4 or 5 times in various settings. Each time reinforced the thought that, while I might conceivably hear someone as good, I'll never hear anyone better.
I sawThe Manhattan Transfer in London in 1981(I have the t-shirt to prove it.) Absolutely AWESOME! Thanks for posting this.
Have been lucky enough to see them live many times, and every time, they blow me away. RIP, Tim.
I first heard about MT when working at Disneyland in the 1980s. I discovered them on a stage in Tomorrowland, but almost lost my job because I watched the entire show and did not return to work for an hour. It was a great learning experience for me early in my career. Seen them about 20 times over the last 35 years, but paid for seats at each show.
I don't think there could be an ounce of doubt that these four were THE BEST vocal group EVER. Nothing they couldn't do & do a spectacular job with! Best "Route 66" ever, bar none... Saw them live about 15 yrs ago, Bethlehem PA, Musikfest, In Lehigh University's Zoellner Arts Center. Fantastic venue for the show. That was about 18 yrs after this performance & believe me, they were still just as fabulous!
Too bad they lost Tim as early as they did. End of an era, but this was true greatness...
I would add Take 6 on the podium...
That was spectacular. The Manhattan Transfer in their prime! Thank you for posting this. I always wanted to see them in that era. Never worked out. Love them!
I do not envy the act that had to follow them.
The greatest vocal jazz ensemble!
Cheryl Bentyne is a goddess moving about the rest of us mere mortals.
They have grown in my awareness and appreciation, over thirty years, to a higher level, for the skill, work, artistry, genuine fun in a confidence they have of their quality , art, entertaining shine. Marvelous, and they always look, feel, sound.., are GOOD. Nobody much around seems aware of the high quality, hard work, the effort, imagination, dream, style, polish, seemingly effortless presentation here...
Wow! They are so wonderful! Have loved them since my college days!
Great show. I loved the opening shot of the four microphones on stage. I first saw them in the Civic Theatre in Auckland, New Zealand. When we arrived at the theatre, seeing the four mikes on stage gave me goosebumps. I was finally going to see TMT. Great show!
This is SO great! These guys were always a class act! Tops!
When I was a junior high school student, the first pocket money I bought was their cassette tape. I've been a fan since then and I definitely bought the album. I was very happy because I hadn't seen the actual singing scene until I watched UA-cam. Thank you everything!
I purchased their Anthology CD when it came out and played it constantly. Never realized my preteen daughter at the time had been listening to the CD as well. Wife told me how our daughter at age eleven knew the words to every song on that CD. She is still a big fan just like me.
the kids are alright
Benny Bailey was extraordinary! Cheryl, those notes!
Can't help but to feel good when listening to The Manhattan Transfer!! Love this video so much!
Excellent singers, excellent band!
Worked a club called Bogart's in Cincinnati in '86 and MT played a full set there. Went out and brought album that week. Real change of pace for me.

Good God. How can they sing like angels So long without losing a breath or one single note, or a beat?. 🙏
I was 18 at the time and into rock/new wave ,but even i knew how talented this group was....wow!!
Sublime ah ! sublime ! Tout y est, l'énergie vitale intense et heureuse, l'élégance, le plaisir de jouer et de créerl ibrement, d'une liberté concertée et productive, la complicité entre musiciens , entre scène et public.... comme c'est beau... je souhaite aux humains de 2021 si maltraités à tous égards de retrouver ce sens de la beauté et de la dimension humaine authentique, érigée en valeur absolue. I embrace you ! 💖🤸💐👏
Saw them at the Concord Pavilion in the late 80s with my mom--phenomenal!
Querido Manhattan Transfer, con vuestros iconicos four brothers y route 66 y otro sinnúmero de éxitos, habéis construido en mi el mejor de mis gustos. Vuestra música con sonido jazz es sencillamente FABULOSA!!!
My musical idols. Just an amazing vocal group.
Fabulous performance from four enormously talented musicians ( and the band!). Thank you for posting. I was mesmerised by their musicality 🎼
Thank you..
I get to sing along with these songs..
My very first album at the age of 5 was “EXTENSIONS”..Since then this group influenced me all the way..i love you, guys!!!
What a wonderful concert of jazz. Each day of history the girls will get much prettier...... even in sounding! ❤️😎 Never forgot U all! 87! How pwr full music of jazz history! Die Girls gehen richtig ab!! 🌈🕶️😎Jep, RIP Tim!
From '76 to '94, I saw TMT 10 times. i wish it had been 10 hundred times ! they are simply THE best. Nothing fake --------no auto-tune ------just 4 incredibly talented people, who put their egos aside, to make great harmony . ----------MJL< 76 y/o
I was there. In the circus tent. Amazing performance.
I was there at this concert in 1987....one of the few moments in my life that I felt really happy....
wow!
ur very lucky
Smashing
That must've been a magical moment.
ME 2 ;)
So great to find this! Loved them since 1976. The moment that "Boop Bop Boop Bop" from Tuxedo Junction came out of my speakers I was hooked!
I purchased tickets to see the group in San Diego this weekend and, after watching then on UA-cam, I am looking forward to the event. I have never seen the group as I am more into classical music and I am telling you I am delighted to attend their concert full of zest, experience and musicianship in their renditions. This is going to be a wonderful new experience for me and my better half, thanks for the opportuity to finally see and listen to this wonderful everlasting group!!
I don't know if I can convey this right. The MT's diction is totally phenomenal in that they are all able to sing the words so fast and never miss a beat. Most artist would be so tongue-tied it would be hilarious. Not these cats. My jaw drops every time I hear them do that. They are true professionals.
Good memory and good concentration, as well as terrific voices and arrangements.
Amazing and very professional and talented thanks.
I have sung MT songs as I play my vinyls from I know them and emotion hasn`t lost. I didn`t know this version of Corner Pocket, looks like the official and rarely times played version of Until I met You.
Cheryl is utterly amazing on meet Benny Bailey
Love this group the best
Such a class act!
this so good I haven't come across any thing like this in a long time thanks for sharing ehhh
they are born to sing. not many singers sing to just sing these days... sad....
two words...bloody great....
Море удовольствия!!! Божественно!!!!Благодарю!))))
Great post, great band, thanks so much!
Fantastic vocal group, luv 'em 👌
Incredible. Just incredible.
I love the Manhattan Transfer 🎙️🎼 There the Bested " They Sing anything this group just pulls you in when you here them.
Manhattan Transfer this's true professional group ths so much
One of my favs. Legends.
Concord, is holding onto a five CD Manhattan Transfer box set that includes some unreleased tracks from the vaults. Please consider letting Concord know how much we would love for this to be released. Surely before Chrsitmas would have been and still could be the ultimate time for the release of this retrospective set. I fear if we do not let our collective voices be heard this set may not see the light of day and that would be criminal. Cheers and thanks from a fan but someone who has no connection with MT or any of their affiliates.
I attended a concert of MT in Vitoria-Gasteiz Jazz Festival around 1987… Love them.
FOUR People with a Thousand Melodies.!... :*
This group talents skills vocals are soo Freakin incredible I woke up with this group on my mind
The Manhattan transfer the beste groep Ever
These guys are absolutely amazing! I've heard one of their albums produced prior to this performance, loved it, and was blown away by their musicality and accuracy in time, balance and pitch with those complex jazz harmonies but I am even more amazed that they're able to carry that same level of musicality and accuracy to a live performance. Most folks have no idea how impossibly difficult this is but they make it look and sound effortless. They're live performance pitch accuracy seems better than Take 6 here. But Take 6 is a capella with six male voices, so that's harder and may not be a fair comparison. They're both amazing groups that I absolutely love.
I was struck by the sound quality which was exceptional for UA-cam. then I saw JVC had a hand in it. I thought it a very strong show with a good encore of " embraceable you". But the highlight was " Jeanine" with I would have liked to hear again in the encore.
fantastic.
Je réécoute avec enchantement. Quel bonheur ! Un grand MERCI de France ! 💖💐😊🙋🇨🇵
Enchanté, et merci pour votre reaction !!!
De beste vocal groupe ooit!!!!!
FAntastic ! Missing the iconic and elegant Candy!

J'ai toujours adoré ces artistes
Moi aussi. Je découvre ce concert, quelle qualité, wouahhh !
my mother used to love this group back in the day's of the mid 70s👍😎👍
Superb band ❤
RIP Tim Hauser (vocalist)
Credit to their arranger. The music supports the vocals brilliantly and there's a lot of interplay, e.g., 07:24 when the piano underlines the 'ramblin' lyric.
The best of humanity. Like angels.
Janis is smokin’ on appearance & vocals! Seen them 3x. Vocal nirvana!
Amazing, only I can say
Esta era una epoca de musica de alto nivel obviamente nos produce nostalgia ante este presente tan chabacano
🙂
el jazz nunca es chabacano
Se refiere al presente Ana, no al jazz, ojo
@@lamarenajr.9161 quiero decir que en todas las épocas hay música muy comercial y de poca calidad. No solamente ahora
@@anaprados9680 YO NO HABLABA DEL JAZZ SINO DEL REGETON Y EL PERREO
Janis Siegel is 34 or 35 years old ... great live vocal on Boys from New York ... she can growl
she is so awesome!
I would really liked to have seen this show live...... thanks for posting Great entertainers and showman....and women
