  • James Brown performing "Get It Together", "There Was A Time" & "I Got The Feelin'" live at the Boston Garden, on April 5, 1968.
    The concert became a thing of legend. Only 24 hours earlier civil rights activist Dr Martin Luther King had been assassinated resulting in widespread violence across the United States. The mayor of Boston was persuaded to let the concert go ahead and it was broadcast live across the city by WGBH-TV. Featuring inspiring speeches and legendary performances, James Brown’s concert is said to have contributed majorly to maintaining calm and peace throughout the city that night.

      @motownfan3 6 місяців тому +2

      I'll get shot......but Jackie Wilson would give James Brown a "RUN FOR THE MONEY"....I've seen both back in the 60's nobody and I mean nobody could follow them ...they had to "close the show"
      when you left their shows you were exhausted !!!

      He didn't. He was always going to play there. Kevin Wite and Tom Atkins had the idea of televising it to keep the peopke off the streets. Theyhad to pay Brown an extra $60,000 but they were the geniuses, notbrown. He just did what he was going to be paid to do anyway.

    He did a lot of things marketing wise and showmanship wise that had never been done before. The hype men on stage, etc. Elvis did some of that in the 70's but I think James Brown may have done it first. The nicknames and monikers "godfather of soul", "hardest working man in show business".

      You know I'm not doubting what you're saying but PBS was originally called "National Educational Television", may have been a little bit slower getting into color compared to commercial TV. The French Chef, Julia Child's 1st series beginning in 1963, didn't go color till 1970. However, she also ceased production of it in 66 and who knows if TFC may have gone into color before 70. Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood debuted in 68, same 1st season B&W.

    To put this performance in context, it was the night after the assassination of Martin Luther King. Boston officials worked with JB to give this performance in an attempt to quell the anger in the community and prevent civil unrest. If I remember correctly, it worked. That is why the performance was recorded and the quality is so poor. It was a last minute decision and there wasn’t enough time to prepare.
