Based on the suit, I think this is the Monterey Pop festival the year he died. The same show some of the best Janis Joplin footage is from. Where Janis and Jimi Hendrix were introduced to the world. Speaking of Jimi, there was a live album released of the Monterey Pop show. One side was Otis, the other side was Jimi. What a combo.
Jamel, I don't know how / who makes decisions about what you should hear but I know you like GENUINE live music. I have just watched some again and it is fantastic. Otis performing on Ready Steady Go, a live UK show. Amongst a number of other numbers he performs I Can't Turn You Loose. Then there is a live concert in Paris where he performs Shake. Go for it!!
He stole Monterey. Packed it up and walked off with it. Watch the whole set. OMG. The Who, Jimi and Janis played. And he thefted that show right out from under them.
@@loadedorygun Yeah Ive seen the whole festival, on video that is. Yeah they weren't expecting anything like Otis. Or Jimi, the Who, Janis, Ravi, wish I'd been around, I was still in mom til right after.
This is from the Monterey Pop Festival- one of his greatest performances EVER. I’ve been waiting for your reaction to this for a Loooong time! Thanks Jamel- I’d give this a hundred thumbs-up if I could.
This was the greatest pop festival ever. The breakout performances by Otis, Janis and Jimi were flawless. I'm a Jimi Hendrix nut, and his 50 minutes at Monterey is my favorite concert set ever. It was two years before Woodstock, and there was no rain, traffic jam, or brown acid.
@@jiminut I thought it was Woodstock but have seen both films so Im probably confusing the two. My daughter watched Monterey with me aged about 12 and she loved it, especially Ravi Shanka.
@@jiminut "Don't take the brown acid, it's not poisonous man, it's just baad acid" When Jefferson Airplane came on Grace Slick said "sorry you got the bad acid, we got the blue"!
That is the definition of soul. No disrespect to Wilson Pickett, James Brown, Jackie Wilson and many others but Otis is one of a kind. You must react to 'Try a Little Tenderness'.
His wife said he called her before he got on the plane that ended his life and told her he felt something bad was about to happen. Pasty Cline had a similar premonition before she died in a plane crash.
This here, this right freakin' here, is why the label "soul music" is so apt. You can't listen to Otis Redding emoting like this without feeling a stirring in your very soul. As the man says, good god a'mighty.
I am 74 years old and grew up listening to music and artists like this. In my opinion and again my opinion, music back then was soulful, full of feeling, easy to listen to.
The Bee Gees wrote "To Love Somebody" for Otis to record. When Otis was tragically killed in the crash, the Bee Gees recorded it themselves and dedicated it to his memory. A great soul talent taken way too soon. This is Otis at his best. Add on: Otis wrote Aretha Franklin's hit, "Respect" The man accomplished much in his short 27 years. Wow.
Otis Redding’s voice will always give you goosebumps. He was magnificent and so was his voice. He was only 26 years old when he died and he had accomplished so much; I wish we could have seen and heard that amazing talent for longer than we did. Great job; and I loved your reaction.
Dude! I was sitting here looking at the goosebumps on my arm and then you said you had goosebumps! Otis always gives me goosebumps. I don’t like sappy love songs, but Otis brings a whole other realm.
NONE BETTER-Period!!! and at 69 years old I've heard all the greats. Can you imagine what we would have heard from Otis if only we had not lost him so early in his life. What a Shame he passed so young.
What a talent! Otis's legend lives on here in Macon, GA. His family carries on his legacy with the Otis Redding Foundation, helping young folks develop their musical talents. Thanks, Jamel!
I would hazard to say that anyone in the developed world with access to media over the age of 7 has heard the beginning of Green Onions. They may not know that's what it is, but they have heard it. Great jam session turned hit single.
@@shannonp1656 You can throw 'Green Onions' on the turntable at just about any party and watch people get out on the dance floor, loosen up, talk and laugh. That one and Junior Walker's 'Shotgun'.
I saw Neil Young, Finsbury Park, London in the early 1990's. Booker T & The MG's were his band. To see Steve Cropper and Donald Duck Dunn was certainly an experience. I grew up with the film The Blues Brothers but to see them in the flesh was beyond words.
Otis always touches the soul of the listener. He was all voice and passion. Another great song by Otis is “I’ve Got Dreams To Remember” always brings tears to my eyes.
I was born in 1970 I have my mom to thank for Motown, the Philly Sound and of course artists like Otis and my dad well all that awesome classic rock.. Beatles, Led Zepplin, Queen and my personal favorite Pink Floyd and countless others love em all and appreciate you experiencing them. I love your reactions!
And to think this amazingly talented artist was only 26 when he tragically perished in that plane crash. Edit: It's a crime that when you Google "Soul Singer" Otis Redding's picture doesn't appear.
Otis and several others of his era had such a gift. They could reach out grab an audience by the heart and hold them in the palm of their hands. Jakie Wilson, Persey Sledge, Sam Cook and many others. This was true R&B.
This was the Monterrey Pops concert. In the same concert, he did a version of 'Try a Little Tenderness' that still curls my toes. He was a fantastic talent and from all accounts just as good a man. So sad we lost him so soon.
Sam Cooke, Ray Charles, James Brown, Otis Redding. Jamel thank you thank you thank you for reacting to this performance, it's a good one, and I hope it's new! The companion to this is Otis Redding -- Try a Little Tenderness (live), it may sound familiar, but brother you ain't heard nothing yet!
Otis Redding embodied everything soul is. His right hand man was Steve F’ing Cropper! Otis was a true gem who had the voice of a grown ass man! He was so young when he died just a few years older than me...Rest in paradise legend
If that dont hit you like a shovel to the back of your head,im not sure what would.This concert was the Monterey Pop Festival.Hendix,The Who,Janis Joplin,Otis Redding and many more performed at it.
I want to thank you Jamal for bringing Otis Redding back and I hope you will play more of his music. I was 23 years old and in college when we heard about the plane crash. We were listening to soul music back then and Otis was at the top of that genre. You brought tears to my eyes playing his most emotional song.
Please do Joe Cockers version of When a Man Loves a Woman. He does it live and its something else! And the band he does it with is James Browns band. James Brown conducts and listens and he loves it! Definiton of Soul!
Enjoyed that, one more time! I loved him, his voice, his music was pure magic. I cried when the broke in on the radio, we had lost Ottis Redding and he was just coming into his own. He had more songs to sing, but he left us some great ones. RIP Ottis ♡
Ok I'm crying but good tears cuz mom and dad danced around our living room to this song and When A Man Loves a Woman! Dad passed at 58 almost 16 years ago. Thank you for this reaction💙
Every song of his gives me goosebumps. "These arms of mine" is a favourite. Big loss to music. So many great artists lost their lives in plane crashes.
Otis Ray Redding Jr. was an American singer and songwriter. He is considered one of the greatest singers in the history of American popular music and a seminal artist in soul music and rhythm and blues. Greatest singer - Redding died just three days after re-recording "(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay in a plane crash, 1967, age 26
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!! As you say in many of your intros, "we don't just listen to the music, we feel it." Otis is the first artist who's music and lyrics I didn't just listen to, but felt. There is no escaping the emotion of an Otis Redding song. Thank you, Sir.
This is my kind of music, that I love!! I would hope that one day, songs like this would come back. I truly appreciate remembering when, music was really good.
Yes, more Otis. Can't get enough of Otis❤️one of my favorites of his are "that's how strong my love is" there are some losses that set back the music industry (and world for that matter) so much and Otis is one of those among with Freddie Mercury and some others, just think how many more great songs we could have had.
You can't go wrong with Otis! My older brother had a few "That's Soul"-albums with a lot of great artists like Otis, Wilson 'The Wicked' Pickett, Eddie Floyd, Sam & Dave, Aretha Franklin, Solomon Burke, Percy Sledge, Clarence Carter and many others. I was only 9 or 10 years old and I was in love with this music! Still are today... Take a listen to Otis Redding - Cigarettes And Coffee, great one! "Try a little tenderness" is amazing too... Jamel, If you want something to get those shoulders movin' and that backbone groovin', than take a listen to Otis with Carla Thomas - "Tramp" with a great rhythm section. Donald 'Duck' Dunn (bass), Steve Cropper (guitar), Booker T Jones (organ/piano), and Al Jackson (drums)... Funky as hell from the damn start!
Otis was the man. This is my favorite of his songs. So heartfelt and the words of this song. I can remember sitting in my car after a break up and had this cassette in my car yea I’m that old. Anyway, I was crying and it was so bad. But, I got over it
What a tragedy. So much talent and Passion. His presence and delivery were a joy to watch The world was robbed of something truly magical with his passing

The world lost something incredible when it lost Otis.
He and Sam Cooke!!
@@BRO77TX Sam Cooke, yes. Got his album. His, "Bring it to me" with Lou Rawls singing background... Just greatness
Sure did. He was just about to release on the Dock of the bay before he died. He was bout to try something different to bad he died on that crash
When he come on stage at Monterey,people were already leaving... heard his voice , turned around and went back to find a seat.
They could not resist the Power of the Stank!!!!
He stole Monterey. Packed it up and walked off with it. Watch the whole set. OMG. The Who, Jimi and Janis played. And he thefted that show right out from under them.
@@loadedorygun Yeah Ive seen the whole festival, on video that is. Yeah they weren't expecting anything like Otis. Or Jimi, the Who, Janis, Ravi, wish I'd been around, I was still in mom til right after.

Sam Cooke And Otis are the GOATS of soul in my opinion,\.
@@TheRogerBarrett yes
This was 6 months before he died. He’s only 25 here. Unbelievable talent. Such a loss.
It's tragic that he died so young.
We lost him way too soon.
His wife said he called her before he got on the plane that ended his life and told her he felt something bad was about to happen. Pasty Cline had a similar premonition before she died in a plane crash.

Amen. If this song don't move ya, you're dead inside.
Love Otis! This song really triggered me this morning, bringing unexpected tears. Gone far too soon...RIP.
You believe EVERY WORD Otis is singing! This is proper soul. xx
I am 74 years old and grew up listening to music and artists like this. In my opinion and again my opinion, music back then was soulful, full of feeling, easy to listen to.
Not just your opinion. Fact! ❤️
Agree-versus the putrid, sinful, vulgarity that spews out of too many artists mouth today.
@@carrieb5711 there’s a place for vulgarity. You don’t have to like it. But it ain’t sinful. No music is.
I'm 51 and I feel you. This is facts!

He also wrote "Hard to Handle", later a hit for The Black Crowes.
27 club
@@soloparaplaystation6624He was actually 26 when he died. Didn't even make the 27 club.😢
One of the greatest, gone too soon!
I really wish music just stayed this good...

Otis's legend lives on here in Macon, GA. His family carries on his legacy with the Otis Redding Foundation, helping young folks develop their musical talents.

When Otis sang you saw the very soul of the man, the raw emotion and the beat of his heart.
If you don't feel that, your not human....
Good God Almighty I Love Me Some Otis!!!!!!
The backing band here is Booker T and the MGs - you should try their sone “Green Onions”

This is the tune that breaks me..💓
Otis stole the show at this festival so much that Hendrix had to set his guitar on fire to top it!! lol. Great version jamel. ❤️❤️❤️
This is the music I grew up with even all the way down in Australia
Can I hear a hallelujah? Thank you Jamel, I hadn’t heard this live before.
How wonderful was that? ♥️
His performance of "Try a little tenderness" in Paris 1967... just unbelievable
Yes! Was going to recommend the same!
Such a beautiful song. Wow.💜💗💞👍🔆💜
♥️♥️♥️ otis
reminds me of a scene in the movie pretty in pink when ducky was singing otis

When Otis sings this song first I get goosebumps and then I tear up. Nobody will ever match him.
The very definition of R & B ... Rhythm and BLUES ... this song always gives me chills!
Otis ! That is all you have to say. Period
His "Satisfaction" (Rolling Sones) cover live is just madness!
there it is .. as good as it gets
Otis Redding ,”Live In Europe”, a must listen!! The best live performance.
.
How about some Curtis Mayfield "Move On Up"
If that dont hit you like a shovel to the back of your head,im not sure what would.This concert was the Monterey Pop Festival.Hendix,The Who,Janis Joplin,Otis Redding and many more performed at it.

This performance was from the classic Monterey Pop Festival. You should just watch Otis' full set from that show. It's an all time classic.
It is a set I can watch over and over again, have it on blu ray
One of my all time favorites and I passed it on to my kids. So fun to hear your kids appreciate your music and who wouldn’t love Otis!
R.I.P one of the greatests🙏🏽
FINALLY!!!! Such a great performer!!
This is from back when singers could afford a great tour band.
Please do Joe Cockers version of When a Man Loves a Woman. He does it live and its something else! And the band he does it with is James Browns band. James Brown conducts and listens and he loves it! Definiton of Soul!
Agreed...SO much good music out there...Otis Redding was one of the greats..so much heart

Legendary artist taken far too young. His performance was amazing at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967. R.I.P. Otis 🎤
Omg haven't watched yet but can't wait!! My parents loved playing this song, amazing memories!!!

Incredible. Just incredible
This is probably my favorite Oits song, absolutely love it!!! I thank my dad all the time for introducing me to his music when I was a kid.
He was only 26 when he passed.
Love is so powerful and sweet when a performer bring it to and other level.
This is my favorite Otis Redding song. You need to listen to Chris Cornell sing it. He did an amazing cover.

this was the the music you can't replace. I'm so glad you have brought this here for the younger generation to here the wat music should be.
I think he goes into his up-tempo version of The stones 'I can't get no Satisfaction' next at Monterrey... it's an ass-kicker...!!
Keith Richards said that the way Otis did “Satisfaction” at Monterey is the way he heard it in the dream that gave him the song.
Yes right as this song ends Otis kicks the band into high gear yelling "jump again"
A lot of folks don't even know he wrote and performed, "Respect". Check out all his live performances
One of my favorites. Thanks Jamel! Try out some Little Anthony. You'll enjoy it!
Don’t care what you say you just can’t beat these 60s/70s soul singers.
Just as good now as it ever was.
Yes, more Otis. Can't get enough of Otis❤️one of my favorites of his are "that's how strong my love is" there are some losses that set back the music industry (and world for that matter) so much and Otis is one of those among with Freddie Mercury and some others, just think how many more great songs we could have had.
One of the best, if not the best Soul singer that ever existed, with so much passion oozing out of him!
Good God all mighty, I love you!!!
