Once you've experienced them live on stage, your perception of awesome changes fundamentally for the better. This band is a force of nature ! I was privileged to make that experience just last night and at times I had tears rolling down my face. I hadn't realized how much 2.5 years of plandemic and home office without any live music had taken away from me. Can't thank you guys enough !
1st saw Mother's Finest in 1980 as an opening act. Then saw them live every chance I got. Have been to many concerts and drove any distance to see Mother's Finest, Fabulous Thunderbirds, Pink Floyd, Robert Plant. I can only thank God for the wonderful music in my lifetime.
In the UK & I've been in love with this fine collection of totally overlooked , underrated individuals since first hearing them when I was 16 , I`m now 56. At the time of commenting I can see that 38 people can hear Music for what it truly is & 1 person has no ears , Spectacular band , thanks for sharing
And she still singing!!! Like a fine wine. They've gotten better with time if thats possible!!!!! Always been awesome. People need to start petition to put them in rock and roll hall of Fame!!!!!
Saw them open for a big name band in the late 70s and I have been a big fan ever since. Moses Mo and John Hayes have had a huge impact on me as a guitar player.
will you please...please...PLEASE come and play up here in Pennsylvania sometime in 2024! ...so underrated... and so worthy of being in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!
I've been with them for 40+ years and they are still as good as they were in their early days. MF LIve is among the best live performances ever recorded, imo. Next to "Live Killers" by Queen and "Live In Leeds" by The Who.
I saw Mother many years ago...with the original bandmates. It was the Another Mother tour...when the " wyzard" was playing bass and Dion was playing drums. Iremember those old school days...!!!
ich habe mothers finest das erste mal live gesehen in den 70gern jahren in der walter köbel halle in rüsselsheim das war supergut und da liegt musik und soul im blut,weiter so und drannbleiben .ich selber bin musiker und weiss das zu schätzen was an arbeit da drinnsteckt danke you tube für all die schönen jahre mit euch und an die urheberrechte halte ich mich als musiker selbstverständlich mit vollem respekt euer norbert aus oberschleissheim.
Went to see them every new years eve for years in the late 70's and early 80s till I left for Europe and lost track for a while. Rediscovered later still bad ass rocking as ever, love em always ⭐ 🥰⭐🥰⭐
Lead vocalist is a rock icon and I loved listening to her back in the 90s when they were really getting into heavier rock music off their Scottie Brothers label (“Black Radio Stations won’t play this Record”) I know the band has been around since at least the early 70s if not earlier . Her voice was so powerful then . As powerful as Tina Turner’s vocals. She still has a lot of energy but the voice is going away. Thanks for so many great years and for making it into the Georgia Rock n Roll of Fame. Now i feel like listening to their earlier stuff from theor discography.
Funking Rocking Solid For Over 50+ Years...I Saw Them Live Early @1978...Saw Them @2000's...Glad To See The Original Line Up On Present Day. Joyce, Glen, Mo, Wiz..."Baby Love" Is Still My Favorite...
Saw MF in the early 1980's and again in the 2010's and they never failed to bring the energy, soul, and love! I hope and wish I'll be able to see them again before their end or mine!
First time I experienced them on TV when I was 18 and loved it . Now 40 years later , I'm still "terrorising" my neighbors with the finest ever made mix of Soul/Blues and Rock Music by MOTHERS FINEST.
Incredible artists!! Saw them way back and also in the nineties.. and they’re still smoking hot as ever!, hats off for the flag..; my flag is Mothers Finest👍👍👍👍
This takes me back to Charlie Goodnight's Bar in Raleigh, NC circa 1977-1980. They were regulars and boy did we jam with them, usually right up front! Fond memories of playing air guitar and singing along. Still cookin!@!!
Gotta respect Mo...!..multitasking...playing stars outta heaven and keeping an "eye" on ~The Three Beez ~....no wonder he's smiling all the time...a one..a Two!..a one .. Two!..three..
I saw these guys down in a little bar somewhere in Tampa area in 1977. Loved the intensity of their show and the music speaks for itself! Have listened to them up to this day and I'm glad they made a great run of it.
It was so good to hear these wonderful singers and musicians. I’m sorry that John Hayes’ great guitar work was not in the mix enough to hear clearly. Fantastic guitars, bass and drums - they never got in the way of the singers. Wish I’d been there!
My all time favorite is still the combination of the Mandela Song followed by Mickey's Monkey (Live on Subluxation). When I saw them first at the German Rock Palast night in 1978 it was a revelation to me. Even though bands like Zep integrated Funk and Reggae parts to their songs, MF was completely different. Their power has banged me against the wall at that time. I saw them 3 times live, the last 2 times in Dornbirn Vorarlberg 2014 and 2018, and, hand on heart, iI have danced through every concert, 2 hours and more. Joyce with her still great voice, Wyzard and Dion with there unbeatable bass rhythm and blind understanding, Mosaes and John with their riffs and last but not least Glenn soul fire voice. Not to forget the fun the y all have on stage and that spills over into the audience . Each time a great and overwhelming event! Many a band and singer can take a leaf out of their book.
For the non speeking Germans: "Dornbirn" is a small city in Austria at the Swiss Border near the Boden lake and Liechtenstein. This band I know since the 1970´s, very good still!
Wizard once muttered GD thats the biggest mf bud ive ever seen as we fired it up backstage at Alex Coolies electric ballroom in Atlanta on New years eve 1976. 🎉😊
At 18:00 or so, please take out the edit. This is the song we all love them for. Niggaz can't sang Rock and Roll. Come on. Don't censor them on one of their most known songs.
The poor guy on the green guitar is just not in the mix. Saw them last Sunday and it was the same (great show btw)... I don't get why they have two guitars anyway - always thought their earlier setup with the keyboard player was their best sound.
Some Info about my old Love " Mother's Finest " en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mother%27s_Finest It's really the finest Rock and Funck Band ! My first impression ❤ 40 years ago was right. I'm still loving it !
Saw them supporting Dan Reed Network in very early 90s. Good to see they're still going. Sound not so good on this vid. Can hardly hear the guitars especially the lead guitar.
Hardest working band in Rock 'n Roll. Loved these guys since 1979.
Moses Mo still rockin’ 👍🏻
One of the best bands of all time
Once you've experienced them live on stage, your perception of awesome changes fundamentally for the better.
This band is a force of nature !
I was privileged to make that experience just last night and at times I had tears rolling down my face.
I hadn't realized how much 2.5 years of plandemic and home office without any live music had taken away from me.
Can't thank you guys enough !
Yes, I'm from Georgia and have loved them for decades.
Yeah they are playing this Saturday before New Years in Atlanta. I may go. What does plandemic mean? I've never heard story behind that word.
Virus was planned by deep state paid for in 2015 by obima..Wuhan lab china..thanx demonrat voter's
Plandemic..wake up folk's
Ich liebe die Musik, sie macht mich gleich 40 Jahre jünger 😊❤
The best funk rock group to ever grace a stage and from my hometown of Funkrock GA!
1st saw Mother's Finest in 1980 as an opening act. Then saw them live every chance I got. Have been to many concerts and drove any distance to see Mother's Finest, Fabulous Thunderbirds, Pink Floyd, Robert Plant. I can only thank God for the wonderful music in my lifetime.
Most probably the first crossover band ever and they still rock like in the 1970's!
In 1977 I was 13, had moved to Atlanta..this band was everything that summer! ❤

Ditto....we did the exact timing on watching them.....but I was close to Montgomery A......it was so cool
We were lucky
Love MF! One of the best live bands, if not the the best of all time.
@@pglover64 Should be in Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!
Makes me forget pansy bands like Living Colour....MF eats off of their heads anyday :)
Mother's Finest absolutes Suchtpotenzial. Konnte sie mehrmals in der Kammgarn in Kaiserslautern sehen. Absoluter Knaller !!!!!! Danke!!!
And she still singing!!! Like a fine wine. They've gotten better with time if thats possible!!!!! Always been awesome. People need to start petition to put them in rock and roll hall of Fame!!!!!
Saw them open for a big name band in the late 70s and I have been a big fan ever since.
Moses Mo and John Hayes have had a huge impact on me as a guitar player.
Great to see Wyzard back!!! Love This Band!!!
One of a kind ,Mother's Finest best Funk rock band!! you've got to have some in your life!💥💯❤
Been into this band since I was a young kid... 13 to be exact when I bought their self-titled album in 1976...
will you please...please...PLEASE come and play up here in Pennsylvania sometime in 2024! ...so underrated... and so worthy of being in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!
Saw them many times in the late 70s, & early 80s. One of the best boogie bands ever. They were always a good time.
I've been with them for 40+ years and they are still as good as they were in their early days. MF LIve is among the best live performances ever recorded, imo. Next to "Live Killers" by Queen and "Live In Leeds" by The Who.
one of my favorite bands. alot of talent here. got to see them warm up for ted nugent way back 1981. that girl can dam sure sing
I saw Mother many years ago...with the original bandmates. It was the Another Mother tour...when the "
wyzard" was playing bass and Dion was playing drums. Iremember those old school days...!!!
i remember not being aloud to wear their shirt's to school .They thought the big "MF" was not for the band .Class of 86 in Georgia:)

She's 74 and still sounds great, no she doesn't sound like she did 40 years ago but she still sounds great.

I have seen the Band 3 x in Hamburg live. But first in TV rockpalast 1979.
Saw MF in the early 1980's and again in the 2010's and they never failed to bring the energy, soul, and love! I hope and wish I'll be able to see them again before their end or mine!
Been with them since the 1st lp thanks for the great music

Good to se Mo Back in the band! And playing great!
Makes me proud to be a Georgia native! Every time they're on stage they're stepping up to rock the joint!
I saw these guys down in a little bar somewhere in Tampa area in 1977. Loved the intensity of their show and the music speaks for itself! Have listened to them up to this day and I'm glad they made a great run of it.
Love seeing them when they perform at Eddie's Attic Decatur, GA. All 165 of us are on our feet!
Love Mothers Finest and as always...epic stuff 49:40 They deliver ! 💖💖💖
I saw Mother's Finest open for Lynyrd Skynyrd (with Ronnie) in April 1977, Cumberland Co Arena, Fayetteville, NC. Awesome
I remember seeing MF in 1976 and the bass player was mind blowing. It influenced me greatly on being a musician today. GREAT BAND!!!!
still great underrated superband greetings from Holland
It was so good to hear these wonderful singers and musicians. I’m sorry that John Hayes’ great guitar work was not in the mix enough to hear clearly. Fantastic guitars, bass and drums - they never got in the way of the singers. Wish I’d been there!
Fantastici, una forza della natura!
die geilste Band ever ❗
❤ energy.
Nigehrs ❤ better than the Rolling Stones.
great band and a mix of black and white in this band so great
Just for the record: If this was recorded in 2018 (which it most likely was) then the singer is seventy years young here. :-)
Killer drummn!
Great show. Down with CENSORSHIP
What a band
I love Mother's Finest!
great energy love it love ya uys hugs

Thanks for completing this :-)@@karolavansuchtelenvandehaa4313
saw them so many times in Raleigh, Pier, Silver Bullet, Attic, etc etc since early 80's i think
This is best hard rock funk band that I have met her at Atanta Georgia free room Capri room
Cool Band!!!
Excelente Rock And Rolllllll
First big venue concert I ever saw was Mother's Finest opening for Lynyrd Skynyrd at the UGA Coliseum May 1977. Set the bar pretty high.
The best Unique Funk Rock...since 80s
Joyce "Baby Jean" Kennedy, still got the timing
Cool talented and sexy lady indeed.
I prefer "overlooked" than "underrated" . . .. 🥰🥰 totally the Finest, wow nice video all throughout the one hour or so! 🥰 Benjie/Philippines.
AMAZING !!!!
My new musical obscession ever!
Thanks for this!
i miss mike on keys
Yes indeed; still missing the funky clavinet!!!
The best hard funk rock band since the seventies.
thank you , like it very much 🥰
Gawd. How good!
Love the Killer Bees
#2
They are better live than in the studio...you can't catch that force of nature
super!!!
This is is the best band ive ever seen
Great video, but to give a honest "thumb-Up" some more info is needed!
When and Where was the concert?
Set-list?
Artists? (musicians)
only Moses Mo has a bar table with drinks behind him ...
And a bienvenue on the Beez!
Damn, she still has a huge voice and way more energy than women half her age.
Wizard once muttered GD thats the biggest mf bud ive ever seen as we fired it up backstage at Alex Coolies electric ballroom in Atlanta on New years eve 1976. 🎉😊
BEST BACUP SINGERS.....
This is a Super Bowl Sunday half time show!
At 18:00 or so, please take out the edit. This is the song we all love them for. Niggaz can't sang Rock and Roll. Come on. Don't censor them on one of their most known songs.
Lighten up dude.... censoring this particular passage is deafening....
My favorite babd hands down
Damn good❤
Anybody so literate to come up with the back vocalist names?
Them great also!
killer! anyone have a postable setlist?
The poor guy on the green guitar is just not in the mix. Saw them last Sunday and it was the same (great show btw)... I don't get why they have two guitars anyway - always thought their earlier setup with the keyboard player was their best sound.
"the poor guy" has a name.;.John Hayes!
Engineer didn't notice that there are two guitarists...
I remember that name
i say..............yes
I worked with Moe at Dieter's factory.
Why did Wyzard leave the band? Does anybody know?
No keyboards? Really doesn’t sound the same without them.
Ticket price was $6.25. Mother's Finest, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Outlaws.
Some Info about my old Love " Mother's Finest "
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mother%27s_Finest
It's really the finest Rock and Funck Band !
My first impression ❤ 40 years ago was right. I'm still loving it !
Better late than never!
What's the date of this show (day/month/year)? Thanks
Which year is this?
Saw them supporting Dan Reed Network in very early 90s. Good to see they're still going. Sound not so good on this vid. Can hardly hear the guitars especially the lead guitar.
Are you from Buckhead?
