Bernard Edwards was already sick with pneumonia before this gig. Nile Rogers said they should cancel the show....but Bernard insisted on going ahead. As you can hear he maintained his taut playing throughout the performance...with one or two gaps when he literally had to be physically supported. He died in his hotel room later that night. Kudos to one of the most legendary bass players ever...R.I.P. Bernard.
This was the last night of his life, in fact: he was discovered in his hotel room by Nile the next morning. Awful to lose him with so much life left to live, but what a way to go out, doing what you love until the very end.
I'm 22 and I'm so angry that I couldn't be in my 20's in that time... Music had it's golden times until 2010. Every kid with a laptop can be a producer now and imo music has lost it's soul after that time. Every instrument is synthesized and you don't have to be a good singer because of all the effects. That makes me angry and sad at the same time...
Im a Bass Player, and i cant how mamy times i tell my wife how much i miss Bernard Edwards and his Funky Bass , definitely one of the Greatest of all Time R.I.P BERNARD EDWARDS you ate truly missed.
Chic is one of the 1st reasons why this white guy loves funk and R&B. I was 8 when this came out, and living in an area where I was the only white kid in my area, was influenced early in listening to R&B, funk and rap. This song, and this performance, is the definition of great music, funk & R&B.
My favorite video of all time. Play this every morning when I get up and it just lifts my spirits. Everybody in this song is just so spot on in doing their respective jobs. The perfect storm in a musical performance. Niles and company great job.
I like this one above all the other renditions. Nile’s chords in the last minute or so are SO kick ass. And Bernard supports the melody so brilliantly. Can’t help but put a smile on a face.
He died from an unknown kind of pneumonia. He actually had a temperature of 100+ degree celsius before the concert, but he still continued it because he didn't want to disappoint his fans.
Edwards, was born in Greenville, North Carolina, and grew up in Brooklyn, New York City, where he met Nile Rodgers in the early 1970s. At the time, Edwards was working at a post office with the mother of Rodgers' girlfriend.[2] The two formed the Big Apple Band (active 1972-1976) and then united with drummer Tony Thompson to eventually form Chic together with singer Norma Jean Wright. With Chic (active 1976-1983), Edwards created era-defining hits such as "Dance, Dance, Dance", "Everybody Dance", "Le Freak", "I Want Your Love" and "Good Times". Edwards also worked with Nile Rodgers to produce and write for other artists, using Chic to perform everything musically and vocally except lead vocals. Those productions with Norma Jean Wright, Sister Sledge, Sheila and B. Devotion, Diana Ross, Johnny Mathis, Debbie Harry and Fonzi Thornton led to more hits such as "Saturday", "He's The Greatest Dancer", "We Are Family", "Spacer", "Upside Down", "I'm Coming Out" and "Backfired". In the song "We Are Family," Kathy Sledge gives Edwards a brief shout-out, singing "Yeah, come on Bernard, play...play your funky bass, boy!". As a lone songwriter/producer, he gave Diana Ross her Top 15 hit, "Telephone" off of her 1985 platinum "Swept Away" album released on RCA and Ross' international label, Capitol-EMI. Edwards released a solo album, "Glad To Be Here" in 1983, and in 1985 he was instrumental in the formation of the supergroup Power Station. The band's first album was produced by Edwards and featured Chic drummer Tony Thompson, and Duran Duran members John and Andy Taylor as well as singer Robert Palmer. Edwards followed this by producing Robert Palmer's hit album Riptide. He continued to produce artists throughout the 1980s and 90s, including Diana Ross, Adam Ant, Rod Stewart, Jody Watley, Grayson Hugh, Air Supply, ABC and Duran Duran. Edwards was the father of multi-platinum record producer Bernard "Focus..." Edwards, Jr. who has produced songs for Jennifer Lopez, Beyoncé, Busta Rhymes, Bishop Lamont, Tony Yayo and more. Edwards teamed up with Nile Rodgers again for the Chic reunion in the early 1990s and released the album Chic-Ism in 1992.
Eric I hate to disappoint you but this video was made in 1996 so your "now" is 22 years ago so Jill Jones has aged a bit but still super hot (she did a song at Prince's tribute, one of Prince's women but too spunky for Prince). She was in Purple Rain
In 1996 Nile Rodgers was named Japan Tobacco Superproducer of the Year in Japan, and was invited to perform there with Chic in April of that year. Just before the concert at the Budokan Arena in Tokyo, Edwards fell ill, but despite Rodgers' insistence, refused to cancel the gig. He managed to perform but had to be helped at times. At one point, Edwards blacked out for a few seconds before resuming his playing. Rodgers assumed the absence of bass was a deliberate improvisation and did not learn the truth until after the show. After the concert, Nile went to check on Bernard and asked how he was doing, to which he replied "I'm fine, I just need to rest." This was the last time Nile spoke to Bernard.[3] Edwards retired to his hotel room where he was later found dead by Rodgers.[4] The medical examiner determined the cause of death was pneumonia.[5] Edwards' final performance was issued in 1996 as the album Live at the Budokan.
I use to DJ in Japan, they loved Chic, I'm way older now but I keep it moving with Chic. Thank you for sharing the greatest music the world has ever seen or heard. Love❤
It's great that Nile has always kept the memory of Bernard alive. The new single is a tribute to Bernard. Bernard was such a fantastic bass player, very underrated, he made playing look so easy
Everybody thought Bernard used his fingers on bass. See all those picks on the mic stand? He used picks. Every decent engineer/producer prefers the bassist use a pick. It's cleaner, brighter, and the engineers love it because they can add more punch and compression on the final mix. I'm sure Niles expected that too.
In fact, he is known in the bass world, for playing things like the extreme bassline of Everybody Dance, using his hand closed like he is grabbing a pick, but yet he isnt, and you can see it when the camera zooms his right hand. Nothing against a pick, whatever gets your audio right, but in this special case of B. Edwards dont mess it up cause he is like a top class finger player
Yes Bernard passed on this day...Rest in Peace my brother....your contribution to this group will never be forgotten.....your skills have taught me to be a better bass player today.....this is one song that made me work....Thank You💯. Chic will always remain in my heart as one of the best bands I have witnessed in my life....Nile...you are fo nominal in everything you have touched👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💯🙌🏽
It's amazing how timeless this is. The performance is almost 20 years old, the song almost 40! Sylver owns this song with her raspy and passionate vocals. Good music translates to all demographics and withstands the ever changing music landscape...
What is the lead singers name? Also what is the other girls name? I googled but can't find their names because they look different from the original girls.
Rather eerie to watch this realizing he had only hours left on this earth. None of us know the time when it will be ours to answer. I've followed CHIC from the start and as a bassist and guitarist, I truly admired what these two created. I used to go out and buy clothes similar to their style cause they were so damn classy!!! Bernard's son, producer Bernard Edwards Jr aka FOCUS, is equally talented in his own right!! Music like this lives on throughout time!!!
Even though I like my rock and blues, there is nothing wrong with this music. It is great! Nile Rodgers is a real genius and I would like to say R.I.P. Bernard.
I grew up listening to a.m. radio in the 70s and remember the rise of Chic. God, I remember going into the Discos and trying to dance The Freak when Freak Out was a big hit. I eventually got into rock but this brings back so many memories. Outside the Rock genre, Chic, The Bee Gees, Kool and the Gang and a few others dominated that era. Incredible talent,
Joseph Davis there is nothing more to add you put this Amazing and standout band in proper perspective, THEY WILL FOREVER REMAIN ONE OF THE VERY VERY BEST AND TO THOSE WHO HV TRANSITIONED TO ANOTHER LIFE , MAY THEY REST IN ETERNAL PEACE
Bernard Edwards...He's sadly gone in body, but forever a bright bright spirit, and happily in some of the most beautiful music and best bass playing performances of all times.
This for for me is a truly epic picture of humanity, musical brilliance , beauty, liveliness and heroism here in this brilliant performance. And afterwards, due to our human frailty such abject sadness. Bernard's passing after this show, was a blow to the whole world what a sad loss his passing was .
Respect at this funky -soul stuff.. The golden era of modern music... RIP Bernard, what a smooth player.... And Ms. Logan is one-of-a kind,. What a performance...
Awesome live performance! The bass and guitar just make this song impossible to sit still for - even for a guy with no rhythm whatsoever! I love every aspect of this song - so hypnotizing.
Truly one of the greats. He’s the reason I started playing. I saw the video of Sting’s first tour after going solo. He was a part of that first band. Very strange video, but his playing is… well, as always, it’s immaculate. I was like ten and totally blown away. Knew it then and there that I wanted to be able to do that. Still can’t with his panache, but it’s certainly been a fun 30 year journey trying.
I was about 8 back when I first heard Chic, it was 1978 and the DJ's at the skating rink would just play music by this incredible band all the time, I loved it. Benard Edwards bass playing continues to inspire me till this day. RIP Benard and phenomenal drummer Tony Thompson. Thanks for the timeless funky tunes Nile Rodgers & company! And don't even get me started on the great records produced by the dynamic duo! Bravo gents Benard and Nile.
What a show! Killer groove and that trumpet! Amazing. RIP Bernard. He played this show with a case of pneumonia and tragically passed away the next day
The greatest? Sorry, but the greatest funk bassist was James Jamerson. Im sure Bernard would agree. I started playing in 1966 Then switched to bass because an opening came up and filled in. Ive always loved the Motown sound and the bass. So, like Bernie, I got into jazz, learned music theory and composition. Also, like Bernie, my accomplished music skills helped guitar players. Niles would be left in dark the without help from us Good bass players. By the way, Niles is a thief and back stabber. Be wary of that creep. Uses people.
@@leegenixthat’s weird. Literally every single person who’s ever played and/or recorded with him has said the complete opposite. A bright ball of positive energy. I’m going to take their word for it over some random guy’s on a UA-cam comments section.
Words can't explain the 😍 Love I have for this song.... brings tears to my eyes..... Thank you Chic....... Bass outstanding.... (rip) lead 🎸 guitar.... horns, drums vocals -OUTSTANDING! Thank You..... .
I’ve come to the conclusion that Bernard is my favourite bass player
Yep, he’s my favourite bass player also.
He was great - right to the end. Unfortunately he died the same night. RIP
He should been Michael’s bass player on BILLIEJEAN

Legend. If you couldn't get moving back in the day from his basslines, you didn't have a pulse.
Bernard and Tony Thompson were a monster rythym section!!! Omar Hakim was the drummer on this video
Rest easy Bernard and Tony 😔
Amen! If I could play bass, I would want to play the way he did. He was a true master!
This was the last night of his life, in fact: he was discovered in his hotel room by Nile the next morning. Awful to lose him with so much life left to live, but what a way to go out, doing what you love until the very end.

Ha ha I love that listen up kids .quality
Exactly
Keep coming back to this video... hard to believe it’s was Bernard’s last show...
The era of proper music. Am honoured to have been born when I was.
Chic deserves to be in the R&R HOF. Without question.
Are they really not already in it?! That’s insane. Just kinda goes to show what a quack organization it is.
@@alexbaum2204It meant something in the beginning. The bands/musicians deserved to be honored such but now it’s become a farce.
I am now 64 years old and there is no such good music from Chic in the new generation. I love this music. Thank you from Chic
62 year old here, I agree...
Now I´m 65 years old and love the music. It s a timeless song.
Shout out to the baby Boomers and the 70's- 80's music era, I'm rolling with you guys!
La cantante che charme, dove è andata a finire?
Check out Dirty loops
CHIC one of the greatest, cleanest, stylish bands of all time. RIP great one you left us with some truly great bass lines.
Pure class act!
So sorry 😞 to hear that...
The Show must go on. Playing bass on stage with pneumonia. Greatness.
Amen!
Bernard`s last hurrah!
He was literally dying and gave it 💯. Legend. Rip.
One of the coolest bassist ever.
The sax player is OUTSTANDING! The entire band is tremendous!
Bill Holloman on sax
The sax player ,play in jamiroquai creo haberlo visto.
Thats right georgeoshust THE ENTIRE BAND WAS AWESOME
You mean George Lucas?
Omar Hakim's drumming is hypnotic in the best possible way. He complements the song so well.
I love Tony, but this concert reminded me once again that Omar is one of the best drummers in the world.
What a solid groove...
Music & Art HS in the 🏠
What has happened to music? No performances like this today! RIP Bernard, you laid it down like no other bassist. What a great group!
Which 1 was he? Poor thing..
@@michonbeauty7444 Bass player - Bernard 'nard Edwards.
Advancement of synthesizers killed music today...
Music today has gone strait to the demons!!
@@Marimarr59 yup. straight* there
I usually don't care too much for some of my favorites done live, but this was great!
Edward was ill already but listen, you won't even notice. Impeccable till the end. With such a last performance he ascended to eternal stardom.

No Shit. I am 70 plus, Every body looking health good and dam cool, in movements, tone, styles, it awesome the real deal, I say
So it is my favorite video also...
Their is none better than the late great Bernard Edwards on bass. RIP Bernard.....you still have no equal.
Louis Johnson?

They tore it up! Keep coming back for this one!
He died from an unknown kind of pneumonia. He actually had a temperature of 100+ degree celsius before the concert, but he still continued it because he didn't want to disappoint his fans.
Tough guy fighting it 'til the end.. Surely you have to mean 100°F>, not Celsius or else the poor guy would literally boil..
I don't care who I disappoint, if I'm that sick I'm gonna get better.
This performance blows me away everytime!
can you believe I got to learn about this song just last year and it blew me away?

This lineup is legendary 😮
Probably my favorite Chic song - hypnotic.....rhythm is so tight, perfect vocals and the horn/string arrangements are surreal...
Yes. Their best song - by far - IMO. They didn't do it on Tiny Desk, so came here to enjoy it.
SURREAL
Sylver Logan Sharp is very confident in her showmanship and pulls it off with no problems. Her At Last I am Free performance is sheer genius!!!
She can sing…. Nobody like her except a few singers
She sounded like crap get real
I Love Her Voice!!!

Whaaaaat?!?!?! Crazy!
RIP, Bernard Edwards, the greatest funk bassplayer of all time!
The greatest? Sorry, but the greatest funk bassist was James Jamerson. Im sure Bernard would agree.
I started playing in 1966 Then switched to bass because an opening came up and filled in. Ive always loved the Motown sound and the bass. So, like Bernie, I got into jazz, learned music theory and composition. Also, like Bernie, my accomplished music skills helped guitar players. Niles would be left in dark the without help from us Good bass players.
By the way, Niles is a thief and back stabber. Be wary of that creep. Uses people.
@@leegenixthat’s weird. Literally every single person who’s ever played and/or recorded with him has said the complete opposite. A bright ball of positive energy. I’m going to take their word for it over some random guy’s on a UA-cam comments section.
