“I consider this a must see, even though it's longer than a "normal" jam. This is show biz. This is how it's done. Trust me, you owe it to yourself, #JamesBrown and rock-n-roll its very self to watch the whole thing. Watch as James destroys the crowd. Watch him hoof it (despite worrying that his pants are about to fall down). Watch his backup trio, who sometimes display amazing synchronicity, and at others amazing symmetry. (That is, they dance weird, but good.) Discover your own delights. (Like, James could appear actually handsome, and how, at the end, he just sits and basks in the ovation.) You won't be sorry. (BTW, the Rolling Stones followed James at this show; it was the biggest mistake they ever made, according to Keith Richards.)”
