Absolute horrible videography. The only view of the background vocals is from behind?????? Come on!
Don't forget the great Bill Champlin!
Go Bill!!!!
Michael McDonald and Bill Champlin in the same band? Sick!
2nd verse Bill Champlin !!
How about the Organ player on the intro?
Is this entire night available on dvd?
john hammond yes !!!!
People you call this in the pocket.
wow its amazing energy.....
Well done cover. Props!
That's Bill Champlin on second verse lead vocals.... I'm pretty sure.
RIP Tim Akers. Lovely person, world class artist.
We lost greatness. God rest Tim in Heaven.
Michael is amazing,!
Jr cookin'. Tempo perfect.
Now we are talkin 👌👌👌
Clean clean clean this arrangement just walks itself!!! Just found this channel. Thx!!
I was at this show at 12th & Porter, and it was an experience like no other. Nothing like live music!
Tim Akers will be sorely missed... Love you brother...
As a recent years new fan of Tim, I concur.
I just learned from your comment that this incredible musician is no longer with us. So sad.
I’m devastated by his passing. Peace to his family and amazing musical community.
I hope the band keeps on.... all those musicians and vocalists are awesome. My man Mark Baldwin and that kickass DRUMMER man!
RIP Tim Akers. We are going to miss you. :(
Agree. I wonder if we will ever hear from The Smoking Section again?
@@ken6771 They had their first gig without him last weekend. They will keep performing because that is what Tim would have wanted...
@@MStephensMusic do you know if they recorded it?
Hurts
Outstanding...!!
FANTASTIC!
Wow! Just wow!
Man, this is one funky kick ass band. Great rhythm section with a deep groove in the pocket and JR is driving the bus! Thanks for posting
Bill Champlin!
I can't listen to the end of this anymore. That sax player just ruins it.
That's Bill Champlain, former Chicago keyboardist, singing co-lead.
I know Michael McDonald is white, but he don't sound like no white guy...he black baby, he black!
Best of the best and real funky! 🎹🎼🎤🎵🎶
I love you
Hold on. That’s Bill Chaplin from Chicago on the 2nd verse. Wow.
Just... damn...
During the break they took after this, I wouldn't have wanted to be the guy that played in 3 of those 4 stops. Otherwise, very entertaining.
For juuust a second... I was hoping they'd break into the SNL closing theme. These guys are truly amazing!
Michael and the band sound awesome, but WTF is Bill Champlin doing with the ridiculous over singing?! I used to like the style of his singing and the tone of his voice, but in the last couple decades, he has felt the need to completely abandon any semblance of restraint and sings inappropriate, poorly executed vocal licks in every friggin measure of the song which destroys the inherent melody of the song and is painful to listen to. Thanks for letting me vent...this has been bugging me for awhile. 😁
@ Neal Armstrong, I didn't care for his singing either, sound's kind of weird, with that growl he tried to do, better let Michael sing the whole song! lol.
JR Robinson!! Wow
Michael is incredible, phenomenal, unrepeatable
phenomenally
I love you guys only 2nd to TOP...but who is the buzzkill with his hands in his pockets???? You pulled me in with your "covers" and I hope this old guy is not too late for more TASS!
I was wondering who the " buzzkill " is also ?
perfect
after listening repeatedly, i really think this performance is better than the original, every honor to the band and vocal, bravo, bravo, bravo
Damned! Stevie is jealous!
Jason is phenomenal
awesome...........I'm thrilled
great Stevie Wonder has a twin brother .... bravo jason...bravooooooooooooo
The advantage is, when Stevie is booked somewhere else, they can always do the other gig. Nobody will remark it!
@@collectoroffrance yes, of course :-)
jason is perfect.......wooooooooooooooooooooow
good to see even Tim Akers horn section is human after all........;) fell into the same trap the first time i played I Wish too !!
Yeah..... someone should've written something on their pages..... LOL
I hope it doesn’t rain on my parade %&, for our sakes.........
Tempo is too slow
