James Brown live at the North Sea Jazz Festival 2nd concert • 1981 • World of Jazz

This is the second performance of James Brown and his band, that he did during the North Sea Jazz Festival on 11 July 1981, held in the Congress center in The Hague. This second concert is extraordinary and sees a James Brown that really gives everything to get the audience to their feet. The first concert that we published on 5 October 2017 which was recorded by AVRO Television earlier that 11th July 1981 saw a lame audience that did not know how to react. In this fantastic video we see what James Brown could do with any audience. Also this concert has a different tracklisting including a sensational ’It’s A Man’s World’ in which he pays tribute to great artists who died such as Otis Redding, Sam Cooke, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix and especially to John Lennon, who died some 6 months earlier. The concert’s encore is a raving rendition of ’Sex Machine’. Enjoy! The repertoire featured is: 00:03:30 “Hot Pants Road’ by Charles Bobbit, James B
