Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com's Best of 1998
James Brown had just recorded "Say It Loud--I'm Black and I'm Proud" when he visited Dallas in summer 1968. Mixing Soul Brother Number One's more traditional gospel- and jump-blues-influenced early hits with the funk he was still developing ("Cold Sweat," "Licking Stick--Licking Stick"), Say It Live and Loud captures that show in a time-capsule piece that's hardly just a historical document: it brings the full-force power of Brown, Maceo Parker, and the rest of the "James Brown Orchestra" front and center. --Rickey Wright

James Brown had just recorded "Say It Loud--I'm Black and I'm Proud," the anthem that would become his last pop-chart top 10 entry for nearly two decades, when he visited Dallas on a summer 1968 leg of his then-ongoing tour.

4 out of 5 stars Tighten Up is the Track .......2007-04-18

I won't go into too much detail - overall the band plays tight and the tracks are a mix of hits and lesser knowns. I mostly want to make a plug for "Tighten Up" - that track is an expansive and vibrant piece of music and the trumpet solo is the final touch of sweetness. As has been said about music, "when it hits you feel no pain" - that's for dang sure.

4 out of 5 stars KANSAS CITY?.......2007-01-27

I'm looking for a version of Kansas City when James introduces the band.
It sounds like they hadn't been with him for awhile and he's welcoming them back. Does anyone know about this?

5 out of 5 stars WILD, WILD STUFF!! PLAY IT LIVE AND LOUD!.......2007-01-06

The classic story that most of music enthusiasts should know, was how in 1969, James Brown ditched the enormous band he had, an hour before show time, to hire some 16 year old kids with the name Collins, to replace them. Those two kids would eventually become the backbone of the band that changed the face of funk music forever, and not to mention birth hip hop.
BUT- let us never forget the band that James Brown fired (minutes before they could quit) that night, with their lead, by the name of Maceo. They appear here, and show us, quite loud and powerfully- that James Brown had already established what was the face of Funk music. And while that band that James Brown replaced them with has gone down as legends in their own right- they had nothing on this beast.
This era of the Godfather, is without a doubt his wildest and craziest era overall. Ooozing with raw energy- this live performance showcases it nice and tight in one very solid package.
James Brown wrote the tunes, orchestrated the band, and shows he's got the moves and the pipes like nobody else.. but the band itself is capable of anything, it seems. Listen to the change-ups from one song to the next. Theres no breaks anywhere. Proffesional Jazz Musicians practice this type of stuff for over thirty years- these guys were in their twenties- hitting every nail on the head. They are trained and true, and no one falls out of step, yet they suprise you at every turn. Three numbers in the middle without James Brown... still smokin'. Maceo shows us all a little thing called The Tighten Up...
One action packed scorcher of a show, fans of any type of music will likely be blown away by this disc.
God Bless The Godfather of Soul.

5 out of 5 stars Ladies and Gentlemen James Brown, JAMES BROWN!.......2006-12-08

This thing just stayed lodged in the car CD player for weeks and weeks. No reason to listen to anything else!

Powerful, funky, historic, a bundle of frenetic energy~ The thing that knocks me out about this recording besides some of the best cuts of the band of that period live is the SHOW. You get to hear the roles of the band members in the presentation that was "The James Brown Show". This was not just a singer and a band that got up there and played and entertained for a couple of hours or so. This was a multifaceted entertainment machine! Tight, slick and having a great time being the best! Do not miss an instant of this recording, even the introductions and goodbyes.

Maceo is a revelation on this recording. If you think of him as a rhythmic alto player, wait till you hear the burning tenor solo on Suds. I mean, James Brown has left the stage and the energy level gets higher!!! How can that be? Not to mention a developing front man in his own right. He is not alone, the band is great, the names that you know inventing this music right there on stage. Peewee Ellis wrote great, flexible arrangements and band turns on a dime!! James cues, the band jumps!

By the end of the CD, tempos are flyin'!! Cold sweat is waaaay fast. Not the kind of thing you record for a 45 but exactly what is needed this particular evening with this crowd. The Soulbrother #1 reads the crowd perfectly and takes them further than they expected they could go. Ya just gotta keep it goin'. Keep winding em', keep em' dancin' up and send them higher,higher higher!!!! James dancing, women screaming, Excuse me, excuse me, excuse me while I boogaloo."

This is a show!!!

5 out of 5 stars Cold Sweat.......2006-04-28

At a little under $1/minute, the Cold Sweat alone makes the 12 bucks you'll shell out for this one worth it. This might be the most insane version of this tune ever, more so than Live at the Apollo. The rhythm section is so rock-solid and funky, and you can practically visualise JB going through his dancing paces in front of a hysterical Dallas crowd. Add in all the other tunes, and its a serious bargain.
