I like how the director took half an hour to find the first keyboard solo…😂
True! Hahahah
Not even a drum solo.. not 1.. but we talkin' bout the Ghetto.. Niiice groove tho huh!! OoOH yeah!!!!
Now Brazilian Stom! Let's Go...😊
When your favorite guitar player's favorite guitar player meets your favorite bass player's favorite bass player.
This generation can't understand the influence George had on many of us growing up.... This man is a living myth, a legend... Words fail me on appellations I can give to him... So honoured to have grown up listening to him!!!
78 years old I can’t believe it! Sounding and looking 30 years younger
Wow 😳 and still playing guitar man that's hard when you age ...your hearing changes
Signed Loki:So cool.
@@pighater951 Does it?There's a lot of old dudes out there still doing it & doing it nicely.
How old? He looks and sounds great! Love him!💝
Nah, he sounds old . Very sad to hear
I actually attended High School with George Benson's half sister in Penn Hills PA. I told her my late Father used to play gigs with George Benson. My Dad was a Alto Saxophone Player.
I just wanted to say Hi to the Benson family.
Musicians like George Benson don't retire. They Ascend.
You are so right. The way he transformed himself into his young "old" self the moment he was behind that mic was something to behold in awe!
Powerful words my friend, powerful words.
Well said ❤
Abd this live footage .. is GOLD🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎
Jk(>p
What a superior concert IT was! Thank you guys and God bless you all!
George Benson was one of my dad's favorite artist and jazz guitarist. I love him myself.
kia ora from new zealand. George hasnt aged since I saw him in the 80s. Come back to New Zealand. We love you!
Great to see Michael O'Neill still working playing rhythm guitar behind George after many years in his backing band. A consummate musician in his own right.
It's such a blessing to see George Benson still with us and kickin' it as good as ever. Always a favorite of mine for many years. May God keep him safe and healthy for many more years to come. Love you,George!
Der Zenit ist lange vorbei....gell?
Amen2That👏
I was thinking the same thing!
@@ManfredElsingBielefeld Das sehe ich auch so. Nach wie vor gut, aber nicht mehr die Klasse wie in den 70er/80ern.
Nice words...
Good to see Benson’s back on stage. A living legend. No one can deny his achievements on jazz and later pop music
He's a 1/ 1 Billion talent.
This guy is classy and refined. Can listen to him all day. Seen him at the Hollywood Bowl in LA. Justify as good in person. He is one phenomemal musician. I love it! Please keep playing that guitar and giving your fans the honor of your presence. Bless you Mr. Benson. 🎶🎼💗💞
Marcus Miller is a Bad man, and George Benson is a living legend virtuoso✊🏽💯‼️
Georg is one of one. Luckily Dizzy Gillespie and Sarah Vaughn and Nat also where . You understand me, I presume...? Etcetera. and also : etcetera, more greats ! yo ?
Marcus is top notch badder. Thanks ! He is soooo good. @@diggiman01
Mr. George Benson was so on top of the hits on the ‘80s, that he was part of a Rock Festival list, playing on two nights. That’s the Rock in Rio Festival, the very first one on January of 1985. He played on 01/12 (Saturday) and 01/14 (Monday). I was there and I remember that his concerts were like two big parties, where he called on stage to play with him Mr. Ivan Lin’s. The audience for both night were over 200,000 people. Just two unforgettable concerts for all those people, and so for himself, I believe.
GEORGE BENSON : THE OLD SILK that never gets old, always sparkling and fresh
We are blessed to have George Benson still with us.
I can't believe thirty years have passed since Marcus Miller's work with Miles Davis.
i loooove George Benson oh those stories THE QUINCY VOICE OMG !!!!
George Benson is a gift. The passing time does not affect his playing, better than that, it gets better like a fine wine over the years.
?
Very nice!!
so true🔥
Thanks Marcus for having this for us to see! Love George Benson!
The equally great Patrice Rushen on keyboards. I was lucky enough in 1971 to turn up on a stormy night at a Tuesday night jazz club gig in Boston, George Benson and earl Klugh. for the early show we were the only ones in the club and George and Earl played us a private concert. Wow.
Life would not be the same without musicians like George and Marcus. They make the world smile ,they make the world feel good.
They make the world go round🎶🌞
Just a buncha legends, kickin it, playing some tunes... Beautiful!
I will never forget the first time I heard George Benson on the radio. Time slowed down and my surroundings disappeared.....Even my hard rock/ heavy metal guitar playing friends agree he’s among the greatest guitar players ever.
Man, that was inspiring. Love George Benson. ... and a another Philly meister: the late, great Joey D! Marcus did a fab interview.
I hope that you can live FOREVER George! 🎵😊
He will definitely 😊
Patrice Rushen is on the keys! Wow, what a band of legends!
The one and only George Benson, one of my the great guitar players that I've grew on.
Glad this came across my feed. George Benson, one of the greats - especially his personality. He's for real whenever I see him interviewed. I had to take a break from work to watch and listen. Oh yes.
George Benson & Marcus Miller...what more is there to say 👍🏿💓💓🎵🎶🎼🎸
yes! dope collab
Who else is left? 😥
Exactly. They are to Jazz what Stevie Wonder and The Isleys are to Soul---the standard.
George Benson is just an awesome guitar player
And even better Singer.
Thank you Marcus for being so respectful to the man who also kept Donny Hathaways spirit alive. No other song like "The Ghetto" ever touched me like that.
The incredible George Benson.... nothing bad ever was said about him...he is a Great Man!
Unbelievable - as a 16 year old boy I freaked out listening to "Gimme the Night", then discovered the Music-Universe of George Benson - and now it is 41 years later and he is still at the top
The first time I saw and listened to Mr. Georgie Benson I was 19 years old at the Hurricane Club in Pittsburgh. He was Fabulous then and it is still exciting thrilling and awesome to hear his brilliant talent today.
The cut Heatwave keyboardist, Rod Temperton, offered to Jonnie Wilder.... and he turned it down. Smells all of Heatwave with that George stank on it... Love it.
I remember that "Give me the night" album on vinyl which I bought in 1980. I remember it because I was a fan of the master for years by then & was on my first salary & my first job.
@@mthobelinathanheshu8423
I started listening to george when I was 14, through my brother, in Brazil and managed to influence nephews and friends. George Benson is all the best!...
Music is beautiful with mr George Benson ❤️ and all the musicians ❤
My favorite guitar player. I’ve been a fan since the 1970’s. Brother George can sing as a well as he plays. Thank you Mr Benson for the music. Never stop singing and playing. I wish you good health much love and many blessings.🎸
I'm loving the comments in here. May all of you be celebrated and supported the same way you support this great icon.
Mr George Benson, Mr Dave Grusin, Mr Lee Ritenour, Mr Ivan Lins, Mr Joao Bosco, Mr Sadao Watanabe,......when these guys jam,....time stands still.
And Harvey Mason.
And Eric Marienthal on sax
Paul Jackson Jr

To see George benson and paul jackson junior on 1 stage is like uff. George benson, Paul. J and frank gambale are to me the world for most guitarists. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
George Benson has covered all genres of music from blues, jazz to R&B what a genius.
TOP CLASS INTERVIEW FROM MARCUS MILLER WHICH SHOWS HOW SMART GUY HE IS ... the guy can be a true journalist and far more ...
We Love you brother George!
Yes George is still doing it , so hard to believe the great George Benson is 81 years young I been fortunate to have heard about him on his 1972 release of the Body Talk Album , man what a great record, and blessed Musician he is! Thank you George!
one of my favorites, Mr. George Benson may god keep him here with us for a long time.
I love George and Marcus. They are both so gifted
I always loved George and Marcus
I love hearing Marcus talking about music. His wealth of knowledge is amazing.
Seeing Paul Jackson Jr in the background is a special treat
I stole so much from PJs playing I should be arrested. Love ya PJ! 👊👊👊
A very incredible guitarist/musician!!! One of the quintessential go to session guitarists throughout the late 80’s, 90’s & early 2000’s!
How cool is this Marcus Miller George Benson.... George Benson so versatile great songs great Jazz guitarist at the Pinnacle !
That brought me back a ways in time. Me and George Benson were undefeated during my college days.
Charlie Christian, Wes Montgomery, George Benson... A dynasty of guitar genius.. btw.. I couldn't forget Jimi Hendrix. All personal favorites!!!
This masquerade is an all time classic! George Benson and Wes Montgomery know how to jam!
Marcus and George. It doesn't get any better!
George is an all-time classic artist.
Stand up for the living legend George Benson, and the bass gutar prodigy Marcus Miller. All my respect from Barcelona
Absolutely stunning, George is such an amazing human being and musican. The same goes for the other musicans, especially Marcus Miller.
If you haven't yet, go back to George's early days playing seriously cooking jazz. Look up the George Benson Cookbook and Big Boss Guitar albums (1964-ish, when he was like 21 years old). He always had a deep lyrical talent, but he was also one of the fastest guitar players on earth. An incredible, total talent. We are so lucky to have him.
So many world class musicians on that stage Wowwwww!!!
George has a very wonderful guitar style, I still remember being floored after picking up the vinyl of "Breezin'" all those years ago - and he's still GREAT!
For sure - Breezin' was a game-changer
Admired these two players from my childhood and still love them
George or Marcus or both. Brought everyone they could to the gig. 😁
Gigging these days is a treat by it self. Very fortunate. GOOD FOR THEM‼️And us enjoying them. 😉👍🏽
What a music!!! Thank you Mr. Benson ❤
The first music is "brazilian stomp" ... it's sensational mixing jazz and samba
Welcome to Brazil!!!
THE LEGEND!! THE LEGEND!! SIMPLY LEGEND, LONG LIFE MR.GEORGE BENSON AI LOVE YOU❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
George Benson 78 years old .......a living legend right there....god bless you sir you are genious👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️
I remember cutting high school to go back to my house with a group of friends (both parents working), just to listen to Earth wind and fire and George Benson and break it down as much as we could at 15 years old, thus I was so happy to hear in the post below that George is not only still with us, But still making the rounds. Bless you George* Benson, this news alone made my day.
Thank you for honoring Mr Benson, ❤️ it!
An absolute legend. Velvet voice and quite incredible guitar playing. Love it.
❤❤❤❤❤
Mr GEORGES BENSON, A LIVING LEGEND !
THANKS BOTH GEORGES BENSON and MARCUS MILLER FOR THIS MOMENT OF MAGIC !!

I am SO pissed off! George Benson was in front of me in line when god was handing out talent. Singing, playing and good looking, he got it all and then there was none left for me!

A teen in the 70's....now 66, thIs is like heaven to me, seeing you again Mr Benson. ❤🙏
Great 👍🏻
You're off by a lot, he was in his thirties in the Seventies, he's seventy eight now.
@@zdogg8 he meant he was a teen in the 70s not benson
@@SanMaiero Yes, you're most likely correct. Thanks for the correction.
@@zdogg8 benson Forever 😅
Sir George Benson is a KING no doubt but let's not forget mister Miller here looking super sharp for a 62 man!
The best interview on Benson Ive ever heard! I love him and as a lady singer and keyboardist performed his music with my guitar player. My dream one day is to do the duet with him he did with Aretha “Love all the hurt away”. I do Aretha on Piano and he does what he does so well! Amazingly when he talked about Grant Green made me very happy. I worked with two amazing Guitar players in KC. both Grant greens Sons! Cal Green (now passed) was mote R&B and Jazz. Then my guitar player was Gregg Green his brother. He taught me a lot of Jazz standards because I was strict R&B then! Their father instilled greatness in both of them! Thanks again for the concert and the interview love you guys! ❣️🙏🏽🥰
GEORGE BENSON IS ONE OF THE BEST MUSICIAN FROM THE WORLD.
The Master Mr. George Benson ! 😎👍
I've watched him play live more than Any other Artist starting back in the mid 1980s (7 live shows ! ), & never gets old 👌😉🎸
Nice to see musicians paying tribute to their colleagues, especially those that have gone onto Glory❤RIHP Donny Hathaway ( originator of the song, " The Ghetto"❤ Rest in Power, King
I've been watching young bands coming through and enjoying them, thinking that the jazz thing is in good hands. Then George comes along and blasts them all aside with such smooth jazz, and I'm back in the 70's where I belong again.
Great stuff George. May you live to play forever.
George and Markus ,two genius .
Love how Markus handled the conversation!!!!!!
He did the same once with Miles Davis ,before they played "Mr Pastorius ".
Love you guys !!!!!
GOD BLESS YOU !!!!!!!
Everything you can say is a little about the posibility of seeing both musicians together. 45 years following to Mr.Benson, 10 Mr. Miller. I'm lucky for seeing both performing live. I'd would like to watch subtitled that performing, to understand the Marcus's words. Bravo!
Two Giants George and Marcus💎💎💎💎💎💎💎
George Benson. 🎶❤🎶❤🎶❤🎶❤🎶❤🎶
The time where true musicians were playing real music !!!!
Wow, he’s still around? I had no idea, amazing.. George Benson, Donny Hathaway and Stevie Wonder had that special tone
Fantastic. among my favorite musicians.
Love George Benson. Have so many of his cd's. I think I see my man Eric Marienthal back there. Yes, top billing musicians.
