Are the monks playing for real in that video upthread? There are parts where it seems like it was playback. If it's real then I'd have to agree it was a mindblowing performance.
― Moka, Sunday, 7 March 2010 19:03 (sixteen years ago)
I won't say this is actually the greatest ever, but the aural climax that starts building around 4:43 represents a moment that can never be replicated - Bootsy's Rubber Band "I'd Rather Be With You" live in Houston 1976:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T62XibPMlXw
I'm also a big fan of that Talking Heads live in Rome film posted upthread but given my predilections I'm more partial to the hard funk of "Crosseyed & Painless".

The sound quality on the James Brown clip isn't the greatest, so I'm not sure you can hear it, but there are points on this where the two drummers(!) start throwing down what I swear are blast beats. In 1971.

― Hodge Podge Bodge, Peo-PLE! (Dan Peterson), Monday, 14 February 2011 22:23 (fifteen years ago)
there's one other clip of him on youtube where looks to be about 85. it's funny to see him flapping his gums and doing a little hop for old time's sake, but yeah, I wish there was more footage of him from any era. I have a feeling that his studio records, as punchy as they are, don't capture all the excitement of his live sets.
