I don't get how a ghostbusters fan would pay to see this and not be losing their shit throughout the entire performance
Because Nerds ruin everything.
@@specialagentchungus6632 fuck u we rule
I would have been dancing and singing
they saw the abomation all female cast one 🙄 thats how me at this would be screaming top of my lungs ☺️ and fan girling
So true cause id be jumping around every where. This is cool as hell.
1:12 “If there’s somethin strange, in your neighborhood, who ya gonna call?”
[SCREAMS OF THE DAMNED]
Just bad monitors.
Yeah, what the fuck happened there? 😂😂😂
HEMAN
The crowd didn't deserve this. Epic.
Agreed
The red t-shirt kid was not impressed.
Let's be honest, the world never deserved The Ghostbusters in the first place. 😉
Always trying to lock them up in jail cells & mental hospitals LOL 😂
I was there and it was a moment I will never forget. What a awesome time I had.
True...True... so sad...😔
This crowd paid to go to a Ghostbusters convention and didn’t react to a live performance of the theme song from Ray Parker Jr himself? There’s going to be people for hundreds of years wishing they lived in a time period where that was an option. These people CHOSE TO PAY TO BE THERE! GIVE THIS GUY ALL OF YOUR ENERGY!
Right?!?! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Because they've had 15 jabs
@@paulbendikas2313 dude I'm dead! 😂
They thought they were going to see the female Ghostbusters, they're probably thinking "Who is this old black guy?"
@@paulbendikas2313 wtf does that even mean?
Huge props to Ray Parker Jr. for doing this as he very easily could’ve phoned it in, played the original theme and walked off stage. Thank you for uploading this as it’s very cool.
Exactly! This was very cool of him to give it more flair. 16 minutes is a long time, too!
(See you on the wfigs forum!)

You must forgive the crowd, they had just endured a screening of ghostbusters 2016, they were still in shock.
EXACTLY.
man. If it were now everyone would be so exited
Awful
Who ya gonna call Wokebusters, why oh why did they make that movie.
I'm glad I never watched that movie. The previews says it all. Its shit!
The man has embraced what he’s famous for and ran with it. Good for him
Kinda sad
It's a convention
He’s not a one hit wonder though.
1:17 Zuul just took over the speaker.
Young Dre piano guy is like, not my fault this time
What happened their
Hahaha. Yeah. Someone didn't do proper soundcheck before this.
This speaker is toast!
3:42 watch the legendary ready Freddie Washington on the bass almost dive for cover when a speaker erupts... the sound guy seems pretty clueless 😆
Are there even any real fans there....we would've sang along and cheered our hearts out to this legend with this legendary song , and it's LIVE!
Funk guitar masterclass at 7:30, 9:45 & 10:55. Ray Parker Jr. is walking the road of excellence for the last 50 years with his velvety voice, amazing guitar chops (he has played with everyone from Stevie Wonder to Herbie Hancock), compositional and production skills, a complete musician in short. Thank you Ray.
tough crowd, you can tell they're enjoying it but no one was in on the excitement and energy they had on stage
I would've been jumping up and down
@@predatorhunter725 For sure!
That girl sat down at the front! Face like thunder 😂
Only a few kids were excited the rest of the crowd was boring and sticking their phones out.
This song used to get em hyped like crazy. I took the kids to the skating rink. Lord they played this song and those kids went totally CRAZY on that rink they was jamming n screaming GHOSTBUSTERS..I had a ball watching them.
Hearing it live on the sax is so wild. Sounds so different, more raw and real
This is Epic. Who's ready for Ghostbusters Afterlife? I am!
I just hope it will be better than the women Ghostbusters!
@@stevenhuynh1999 how fair you im a women and we are great
@@xxshadow-_-gamerxx1932 Well, sorry didn't mean it that way. I love every women. I think the Ghostbusters 2016, failed because of the bad story line.
@@stevenhuynh1999 jokes bro was just showing you that it can be like that with some women 😅
@@stevenhuynh1999 but truth to be known ghost busters 1 and 2 was godly can't argue with that
This was so epic, unfortunately the crowd sound like they’ve seen a ghost.
Maybe they just saw answer the call... I mean that would explain the lack of enthusiasm.
Probably most are kids that dont get it
I know it's impossible to tell from a video but it sounds like the mix is wretched, which can heavily influence an audiences feelings of a show
Nowadays, everybody’s reaction is more about thinking how much they are going to post it on Instagram and all their friends are going to react to it!
United States crowd.... If this guy goes to play in South America they will destroy thenplace dancing and jumping... Anglo saxons...
This man, this skilled and talented man has a huge catalog of funk and r&b behind him. He's criminally underrated in my opinion. But, it's cool he got no problem givin' the folks what they want ... 15 minutes of it no less.
@Michael Versace And you "sir" need to work on your reading comprehension. Your arguing with someone who agrees with you.
@Michael Versace It's all good homie. Keep on funkin'
watching this 14 times in a row is time better spent than watching Ghostbusters: Answer the Call.
Who ?
takes a lot of skill and talent to rip off the number one song from the year before. it boggles the mind how hard it is to just change the words.
don't take my word for it. he had his day in court and lost because it was apparent what he did.
This song is a classic from 80's never hear or seen played live.There are so many band that played original setlist.
Huey Lewis and the News should be credited for this also as the sampled riff is from the 1983 song "I Want a New Drug".
The Sax guy steals the show!!! Those moves!!!!
I think he comes in a close second
🎷
I agree
I would have loved to have been in that crowd!! How cool is that?!
Bustin makes me feel good.. This is brilliant love ghostbusters one of my top films of the 80s.
Ray Parker Jr. make it excellent! Live for ever the best music of the all time!!!!!
one of the greatest OST ever made on Hollywood history
This is awesome but I also gotta give major props to the saxophone player. He’s gotta have a hell of a set of lungs on him. 👍🏻
Ray Parker Jr is awesome i remember dancing to this as a kid love this song 👻👻👻👻
its too bad hes only known just for a damn theme song, hes far under too under-appreciated and deserves more
I hate you disgusting brat
@@lopimuttka788 the feeling is mutual, buddy ol pal
@Michael Versace not true, mr telephone man written by him, a woman needs love, jack and jill, all the songs with raydio. nah he known for more than this spng

Nothing wrong with a one hit wonder. Look up all the songs that are one hit wonders from any decade! Imagine a world without these.
This is GREAT! Ray Parker Jr. is simply awesome!!
This was surprisingly epic! Props to the bassist: the unsung hero who thumped out that slippery funk bass line, the bedrock of the entire performance. ✊🎸🎶
you mean the bass line Huey Lewis wrote right?
It's Freddie Washington. He wrote and played one of the greatest basslines of all time on Forget Me Nots by Patrice Rushen.
@@fuzzylogiceire I like that although he's more than capable of slapping and popping and it getting all fancy, he kept it simple and thumped the groove.
Ray Parker already a dude for writing this classic but he also has a Fender tele in butterscotch blonde.He just went up another level for me for that.Props to you Mr Parker.
I was there for this! And was so grateful to meet him and get him to sign a couple CD albums
Why was the crowd so subdued?
@@pjincho That’s what I’m saying. The crowd is more responsive at an Opera. It blew me away, and they were trying to get the crowd activated. Like it was at a retirement home or something.
Hope you were the only one cheering, if not you probably didn’t deserve being there.
@@MrJB8383 and why is that?
To the people saying why the crowd wasn't going ballistic, it's probably cause they were taking it all in. Just cause you're at a performance doesn't mean you have to go nuts, just enjoy the experience.
This song used to be played at the gym during Halloween dance at school. The good days 👍
@TheMusicPoint We went to the same school, those dances were great sneaking in peach schnapps. Good times!
10:32 it’s good to see Stay Puft out n about and enjoying himself. He looks happy here and at peace. ❤️🙌
Puff and the Ghostbusters mustve been able to work it out while filming the Real Ghostbusters
Man I want a studio version of this. It’s awesome
funky guitar part starting at 7:30 got me... damn
More than 2 thumbs up...that show/song made him immortal...one of the best Songs in human history. Thx for that Ray and greetings from Germany...May you live forever at least in our hearts. Yeah, yeah, yeah...Ghost Busters😄
This song never gets old and always puts a smile on my face. This is an awesome rendition!
Yeah . They had some fun with it .
I grew up around the original theme of Ghostbusters in the 80.s and now and I'm a ghostbuster fan also
This right here is how it's done, y'all.
Lovin' this...
R.P.J. is such a great musician. A super guitar player and a great songwriter. Plus a super cool soul voice. One of my faves!
3:42 to 5:46 should be a fully released as a Ghostbuster remix its soo good ive tried to find it everywhere but it dosent exist giving me more reasons to keep coming back too this video
I'm about 90% sure it took inspiration from this
ua-cam.com/video/0tdyU_gW6WE/v-deo.html&ab_channel=NeilCicierega
you're a good person
@@joshwizinsky1979 LOL
Loool
It sounds like an edit of after the drop in the track by Far Too Loud - Banana Boy and remixed have a listen ua-cam.com/video/xE-n96or5oI/v-deo.html
OMG!!!! A live performance of this song! This is beyond amazing!!!! :D :D :D :D I love love love love love love it!!!!!!! :D
Guy on the sax was waaayyyy too funny and those line dancers were amazing 👏 🤣 😄 👌
Ray and his group slayed it! The sax player was just that bit of paprika on top; gave it something to punch beyond the studio version's sound.
Thank you sir for part of my childhood this song and that movie was a match made in heaven.😝🤟🏽👻🚫
I remember watching this movie the very first one at the movie theater the very first show. Oh my god this is so badass Ray Parker Jr. You are the movie. Love it! Love it. Love it! We got lucky to have you in our movie. Keeps singing dude you still got it
Ray Parker Jr. is a musical icon. Love the old Tele’! Thanks for sharing!
Oh, man! He's a great musician! In wish I could have been there!
Wow, 35 years
I have a feeling he could turn around and lay down a REALLY great blues album!
Love the bass player who yells at the sound opperator
I'm a bass player who loves to yell at the sound person. Where's it at, I missed it...
Best version I’ve ever heard!
Nice to see he’s getting better with age!
Next year finally the REAL Ghostbusters 3 directed by Jason Reitman, featuring the original cast plus the new generation ghostbusters!!! Of course Ray will be there too.
Didnt ray pass away?
@@FireLord45 Egon passed away.
it is going to be another, and the final flop of the ghostbusters 3, or should i say ghostbusters 4, in this new up coming movie, there is 12 year old kids catching ghost`s,? (WHAT A FUCK???) wait a minute, they are not ghostbusters!! and only the original cast crew members appears some of this scenes in this movie, and they just give a couple of few advice`s of this kids, how they catching ghost`s.. last time, there was women`s playing ghostbusters, to me, and i think everybody else, it was HUGE mistake!!, totally disaster, and shame, and now, those fucking 12 year old kids??... so, my point is BRING BACK THE ORIGINAL GHOSTBUSTERS!!!!" sorry, no harm, but this is my opinion....
Still next year
Its 2020.
Beautiful musical theme! I alway hear it! Oh my God, Ray Parker live for ever in the every body heart!
He's awesome great musician.
Awesome epic live performance.
When I was a kid I thought the cartoon came before the live action movie. 😂
"Who ya gonna call!" "HEMAN!" XD
Good stuff, "Ghostbusters 2" was just as awesome as "Ghostbusters".
@Michael James Yup both him and his sister are in the movie.
That brings memories back
Nice memories ...❤ 1983
What outstanding guitarist is Ray Parker Jr. Awesome performance. Amazing. Thanks for the upload.
The bassists reaction to that ear rape at 1:18 has me absolutely dying 😂
Also 3:41
I consider Ray part of the OG. I hope they give him a part during the next GB outing.
. I loved watching it live.
Im almost 50 and still dance to this song...awe..Ray Parker Jr....that green slime ghost is still kicking...awe.... c'mon man...I love this song
If he was in Liverpool, even though we are on Tier 2 - there would have been louder appreciation, that’s for sure. He probably would have been invited to a heavy sesh with a local too 😂
This is good. Not only is it a generous performance it's a great arrangement. Ray Parker Jr and the band did a great job.
This must be release as a studio versión!!!
This is pure gold.
this is the rare soundtrack song (and Halloween ish one at that) that i can listen to anytime. Even if RPJ is known for one song…let it be known that That one song has brought millions joy
Wish i could have gone to Ghostbusters fan fest
Me too
Man, me too!! Ghostbusters Mega fan here....for the last 35 years...and counting!!!
Me too.
Same
yeah I went to California a few weeks after it went on and I bugged me so much. it would have been awesome to go
Didn't realise what a great guitarist he is!
Great classic pop song.
This happened on June 8, 2019, the day bustin' made us feel good.
9:51 Love that riff!
Best private party performance ever!
Same .
Wow, it just feels so amazing to hear this, even though I watched the first movie the other day.
If wished were nickles I would have been there, historic jam.
I love that he put some of that Bustin remix in this version. Nice.
Wow! I didn't know that they we're still doing concerts. This is amazing!
We deserve this epic HAPPY GHOSTBUSTERS DAY
Nothing will ever beat the 1980's .... best movies and best movie sound tracks .... hit after hit .... it was hard to find a bad movie back then !
Ive been listening to this for over an hour...
@@irn00bz0r2 lmfaooo
Same here but it is because I have an interrupting wife.
No one knows this but this man is one of the most incredible session guitarists of the last 50 years. Ask Steve Lukather… ya know… next time you talk to him.
SUCH an iconic guitar riff!! 😁😁👍👍👏👏👏
😎😎😎 sax dude killin' it like it's 1984 all over again 👌👌👌
WTG Ray! You looked like you were having a blast and knowing you are only a few years older than myself, you are a credit to our generation and a wicked guitarist!
I swear my proton packs just came to life and danced around the room. Mood slime maybe?
Did your toaster dance, too?
@@GetRekt-bw6pu Mine did and toasted himself a bread.
Ray and his crew hammered it. Everyone on this thread gets it. What a refreshing experience.
In the 80s me and my brothers watched the cartoon, then the movies. One day my dad brought home the ghostbusters vinyl. It was awesome!!
Great performance by Ray Parker Jr.
He's still got it. Thank you for this.
Oh my! Fantastic!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This guy should be in Ghostbusters team
This is pretty freakin' AWESOME 👏👏
I would LOVE to see this Live!!!
💥👻🚫👻💥
Loved this! I love being part of the Ghostbusters world! Never been to things like this, though, and really want it here in Arizona.
I was scared there for a moment, thinking he was going to fall backward. Glad that Ghostbuster was there to help him.
Secret, I was tearing up with happiness just watching this.
I'm more than certain that you would be welcomed with open arms if you reach out to the Arizona Ghostbusters.
The band is amazing. The guy on sax is KILLING IT!
Wow! The sound of that riff at the beginning of the song! I had the pleasure to meet this guy at The Baked Potato and he is an absolute gentleman
I was there for this one
16 minutes! Phish eat your heart out!
Ghostbusters song and his other song: The Past, brings me back to the worrieless days gone by.
Great performance very professional musicians my respect to their skills and their abilities.
3:42 R.I.P fir the guy i the black shirt with the brown guitar
This year's was cancelled, and I really wanted do go 😭
This is most excellent performance
Ray Parker Jr, the first musical hero to me! and seeing a ghostbuster helping mr Parker on stage.
