Honored to be a part of this recording..Playing guitar alongside Spanky,Pino,D,Quest,Bilal,Anthony,James and the rest of the crew in this band…Essesnce Fest was a fun show ……..
I don't know how this recording happened to exist but whoever thought about pluging a recorder into the stage console to keep such a rehearsal session had to be wanting the best for human kind.
Sits right next to Prince in terms of creativity, instrument fluidity, vocal ability, production, composition, appreciation for the various genres and respect from his fellow musicians and artists.
Wow wow wow...this is the reason I appreciate recordings of rehearsals and "live" recordings! That bass gnawing at ur soul, D'Angelo jabbing at u w/ his adlibs, and that ORGAN AT THE END!!! GOOD LAWD AH MIGHT!!! Mannnnn LISTEN
That Minnie Riperton in the beginning set it off but when the guitar and bass come in it takes me all the way into a vibe unlike anything we've had in years 22 years later still killin
Whenever I hear or listen to Pino playing with D'Angelo it reminds me of myself when I was in US. Coming from eastern europe, the only people who I really bonded to were only the soul brothers, playing stuff like parliament, or prince and just enjoying the best music that just appeals to human soul.
D'Angelo and the 'Quarians dug deep to cook up this rendition of 'Lady'...damn. Sounds like Al Green, Sly Stone, and the Mighty Clouds of Joy got into Funk Fight on stage. #respect.
Truly amazing!!!! You can feel the music rather than hearing it. Touched my soul - closed my eyes and let the music wash over me. Musical notes soothed my soul. Truly inspirational. Thank you.
This man was and is one he'll of a talent. Only soul r n b strings arrangements close to this is Marbin Gayes bands on the I want you and Midnight love albums

I remember seeing you in Paris in July 2020 for the Voodoo tour, you had that fly style man

I agree 100% a true hero
😂😂😂
Adrian Casada from Black Pumas production
There is a whole album of this warm up session… it is incredible but the quality isn’t fantastic… sound is quiet…
@@jbizzi8308 OH REALLY, an ENTIRE ALBUM? ... question is.... Who's Got A copy for SALE🤔.. HOLLA AT ME💯
WHO IS LISTENING TO THIS IN 2024?????? HOLLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
D’angelo is eternal my brother.
Yesssssirrr
Me, end of sept
Pino doing the Sly Stone "Thank you for talkin to me Africa" bass groove too crazy!!!
D’Angelo is one of the undisputed great artists of all time! What a gift!
Sits right next to Prince in terms of creativity, instrument fluidity, vocal ability, production, composition, appreciation for the various genres and respect from his fellow musicians and artists.
Livie's Lovelies facts. His discography is tough to match up to. Still feels fresh, what 20 years later?
In Spanish we translate O Good Lawd to Ay Dios Mio dang DAngelo put it on me......sit on it .....or something
still facts.

One of the greatest GUITARIST !!!!!!
If you're not feeling Sly and the Family Stone, I know you haven't lived long.
Pino digging in that bass groove like Larry Graham on Thank you for letting me be myself
Oh my God Pino killing that bass.
Once a bass goes Pino, it never goes back. Good lawd.
Bass line resembles "Thank You For Talking Me Back To Africa" by Sly. I'm sure it is by brilliant design!
@@Backpackfiles my brotha...Best Sly & the Family Stone album
Killin it man killin it
It aint Pino. Its Raphael Saadiq
Bilal also on bg vocals with Anthony Hamilton.
Fun fact 4 all u true Funk Heads. ✊🏾👑🎶💜🔥
that's a sick duo to have singing your back up
Wowwwww 😮🔥🔥🔥
Wow wow wow...this is the reason I appreciate recordings of rehearsals and "live" recordings! That bass gnawing at ur soul, D'Angelo jabbing at u w/ his adlibs, and that ORGAN AT THE END!!! GOOD LAWD AH MIGHT!!! Mannnnn LISTEN
Iron Mike he’s honestly the last truly great one left. Him and Sade.
The artistic expression is so free...
Anthony Hamilton really did sing 🎤 back up for D’Angelo.
Mosdefenitely
Don’t forget Angie Stone and bilal also sing back ground for D’Angelo
Sure
RIP to Spanky and my uncle Wah Wah Watson! Heaven got of the best guitarist ever!!!!!
That Minnie Riperton in the beginning set it off but when the guitar and bass come in it takes me all the way into a vibe unlike anything we've had in years 22 years later still killin
The intro needs it's own video. D'Angelo has always fucked with the best musicians and him being one himself just take it to genius levels
Crazy he like another prince when it comes to playing every instruments
I'm I the only one that recognize that's Anthony Hamilton in front?...
Nope
Naw
nope. he was a big part of the sound. I was with them.
Thought so!
hearing anthony hamilton's sweet ass tone in there too, my lord.
Pre Voodoo, Soultronics were formed in 98 to perform D'Angelo's songs live
Wish there could have been footage. I would have liked to see their interactions at the end, after something like that.
It's a shame, and there is no footage of the Voodoo tour, too. why?
Spanky’s guitar is fire
You can hear all of his influences compounded into this 13 min recording. That Baptist chuch breakdown about halfway through took me out!
Whenever I hear or listen to Pino playing with D'Angelo it reminds me of myself when I was in US. Coming from eastern europe, the only people who I really bonded to were only the soul brothers, playing stuff like parliament, or prince and just enjoying the best music that just appeals to human soul.
lol listens to pino, thinks of himself. hilarious
D'Angelo and the 'Quarians dug deep to cook up this rendition of 'Lady'...damn. Sounds like Al Green, Sly Stone, and the Mighty Clouds of Joy got into Funk Fight on stage. #respect.
pino, d, spanky and anthony...insane! who is on drums pls help me!
I hear a little bit of “Thank You For Talking to Me, Africa” from Sly Stone in Pino’s bass licks. 😊🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Baby at the health food stand.......NON GMffing-O
I am glad that I found this. DeAngelo and Prince are both musical genuises.
Uncle Spanky killin that guitar groove
Imagine you at a D’angelo concert not knowing you were going to also be going to church.
He changed our lives forever with that Voodoo Tour
If the rehearsal was this dope, I can’t imagine what the actual performance was like. Respect ✊🏽
Achievement Unlocked: Superior Taste In Music
I keep coming back to this year after year. It’s a classic
9:30 If he don’t play that organ!!!!!!
The man is sick with it! Thought it was 88 and I was at a Pentecostal revival.....Amen!!?
oh yes, this is the gems that youtube gifts you now on then !
thanks for the upload 🙌
this is legendary.
I wish I could've been there. Anthony for my mom, D'Angelo for me! Would've been dancin' our ass off
The instrumentation is very reminiscent of his Prince cover of "She's Always in My Hair" - i'm sure it was released around that time
Pino! Cutting that Bass up like a bag a Baltimore Smack!
On My way to see badu...in md
A rare gem! There will never be another D’Angelo!
I'm only now realizing this is a half step up from the original and most of the other live versions.
Pre Voodoo, Soultronics were formed in 98 to perform D'Angelo's songs live
To God be the glory that I have this full recording
Please share it if you will!!! My band is doing a tribute to d angelo In a few weeks would love to hear it.
Yo!!!! Can u please share!!!!

And added some punk too.
That Pino and Spanky intro 🫡🫨🫥🤯🤢🤮🤧🥵🥵🥵
oooh that's what they saying !!!!!! Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego !!!!
Truly amazing!!!! You can feel the music rather than hearing it. Touched my soul - closed my eyes and let the music wash over me. Musical notes soothed my soul.
Truly inspirational. Thank you.
Dope!! That’s a rhythm section now…. Dayamm! Who’d she coo vamp… funky!! 💥
