It's time for #Saturdayonstage once again. A classic soul duet from the early seventies:
Jerry Butler & Brenda Lee Eager: Ain't Understanding Mellow (Live on "Soul!", January 12, 1972)

My choice for #SaturdayOnStage goes way back in history. The Ravens were one of the most influential early rhythm and blues vocal groups. Here's a rare January 2, 1949 appearance on the Talk of the Town TV show, which was hosted by Ed Sullivan:
The Ravens: My Sugar Is So Refined (1949) […]
Once again, it's time for #SaturdayOnStage. The following clip was filmed at the Yankee Stadium in Bronx, New York, on June 21, 1969, and included in the concert film "It's Your Thing":
The Isley Brothers: It's Your Thing / Shout (1969)

My #SaturdayOnStage píck for today is an uptempo number from the 1959 Alan Freed movie "Go Johnny Go!":
The Flamingos: Jump Children (1959)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COFvEGFzGYc
Although the Flamingos were better-known for their ballads, you wouldn't believe it from the wild dance […]
For this week's #SaturdayOnStage I've chosen one of my favorite video clips, which is from the 1972 concert movie "Wattstax".
The Emotions: Peace Be Still (1972)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFWZcMxFmd0
At the time, the Emotions were making excellent secular recordings for Stax's Volt […]
My second pick for this week's #SaturdayOnStage is a delightful 1966 performance by Johnnie Taylor:
Johnnie Taylor: Rome Wasn''t Built In A Day (The !!!! Beat, 1966)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qbx3D2e5PM
"Rome (Wasn't Built In A Day)" had been Taylor's first hit (#29 on the Cash Box R&B […]
A somewhat short but still very enjoyable live version of the classic Merle Haggard tune:
The Everly Brothers: Mama Tried (Ed Sullivan Show, February 28, 1971)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCVEbopu9DY
The Everly Brothers originally recorded the song for their 1968 country-rock album […]
For this week's #SaturdayOnStage I decided to choose a zany performance by Steve Gibson & the Red Caps:
Steve Gibson & the Red Caps: Cow Cow Boogie (Ed Sullivan Show, 1952)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7s2VVzHKNxg
Unfortunately there doesn't seem to any surviving footage of the group with […]
I just found out that there's a large new selection of vintage doowop videos available on YouTube. These were filmed at one of the first "revival" shows at the New York Academy of Music in 1970.
The technical quality is not great, as there was only one camera, and much of the footage is very […]

For this week's #SaturdayOnStage I've chosen a performance by the Gospelaires, one of the top gospel groups of the 1960s.
I have more than a dozen of their singles on Don Robey's Peacock label and several albums as well, but they were also an exciting live act, with a great deal of showmanship […]

Still one of my favorite bands though they shut it down awhile back.
Kamikaze Hearts - War Horse
Live at Revolution Hall Troy NY

#KamikazeHearts
This live performance is definitionally Australian and perhaps my favourite.
It was recorded in 1988 at the Royal Melbourne Showgrounds as part of a celebration of the Bicentenary of Captain Cook sailing around the Indian and Pacific oceans and accidentally ‘finding’ Australia when it had never […]
Today is Saturday, with #SaturdayOnStage. This classic James Brown performance on the Ed Sullivan Show was originally aired on May 1, 1966:
James Brown & the Famous Flames: Papa's Got A Brand New Bag / I Got You (I Feel Good) /Ain't That A Groove / It's A Man's Man's Man's World / Please Please […]
#SaturdayOnStage
First a show I wish I'd been at. We lost Chad Sullins way to young. A super talented red dirt country artist.
Chad Sullins - Hurtin Songs

And one I didn't miss before he passed . Iron Maiden with Paul Di'Anio at the Rainbow.
Iron Maiden - Killer […]

#SaturdayOnStage
A classic, electrifying 1965 performance by Bo Diddley, with a line-up including the Duchess (Norma-Jean Watford) on rhythm guitar - it doesn't really get better than this:
Bo Diddley: Hey Bo Diddley & Bo Diddley (from The Big T.N.T. Show, 1966)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjRdOEPdpTA […]
This could work for #mondaycovers too.

Good evening, Saturday!
We've been invited by Theresacityinmymind (@Theresacityinmymind) to post live performances, as part of "Saturday On Stage"
So here is mine:
Viagra Boys - Creepy Crawlers - 🇸🇪 post-punk
live in Paris - 11/12/2022
If the sound was a little better, I would prefer this […]
As it happens, I was reminiscing about seeing an Elton John concert in the mid-1980s where he opened with Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding …
The stage was completely dark and about 10 really tight spotlights were set in the scaffolding above the stage in a circle around him and his piano […]
It's a new music hashtag thing courtesy of @Theresacityinmymind : #SaturdayOnStage, focusing on live performances. I’ve always loved this Kid Cudi cover live by Lissie.
