I'll say it again. Those claiming later versions of this band, need to check themselves and history. Nobody messing with them back then. Even Prince knew it!
Those that don’t know history are doomed to repeat it. People PRINCE WROTE AND PLAYED FOR THE BAND THE TIME. HE PLAYED GUITAR AND SANG AND WROTE THE TIMES ALBUMS. PLEASERESEARCH!!!!!
@@kevinhurston1555And he also wasn't able to play their songs live, he had his own songs. I already know the history, but apparently the person who said learn your history, doesn't know the history of the Time being able to play live extremely well. It's the one thing Prince couldn't totally control once they got on the road.
Jimmy Jam, Terry Lewis, Jessie Johnson, Jellybean Johnson, Monte Moore, and Morris Day were nasty ....even though Prince was behind 80 to 90 percent of their music as far as songwriting and production....they used to play at clubs at least 3 or 4 times a week in Minneapolis ....as Flyte Time when Alexander O Neal was the lead singer before he got replaced by Morris Day ...who was in the rival Grand Central band with Prince and Andre Cymone...there was a competition between the Time and Prince's band...The Revolution when they would go on tour because that is how the Minneapolis music scene was in the 80's!
Thanx for the infos bro'. I think lot's of us here in Europe didn't and still don't know about all the story of Minneapolis sound, especially here in France ! I love Alex O'Neal too, and didn't know that he was a serious rival at this time !! in the 80's, Minneapolis produced some rocky funk, and that was the music was f...g different !!
This is great video. I remember Stacey Adams, pencil thin ties, baggy slacks and pocket watch chains because the Time! So glad they came to Omaha often probably because Terry Lewis is from Omaha Nebraska. During this tour I think, they had COOL and absolutely killed Prince. The crowd went crazy for them in the old Civic Auditorium. Great times...
hit us with more songs, this the best audio ive ever heard on a golden era Time recording. you can just hear the crack of jellybean snare so well. jesse insane on this. the thrash outro, this too good.
💯 - The Time was an amazing band. Fantastic!!! ... But, remember that both of their entire albums were written, produced and performed by Prince. While Prince was also writing the Controversy album, the 1999 album and the Vanity6 album.... PRINCE was literally a GENIUS!!! .... RIP Prince. 💯👍🏽
Yeah, Morris is a little man with an undeniably big personality, plus bendable Go-Go-Gadget outsized arms. That and his impeccable sense of his own pocket made him cool up front or on point behind the kit. Allen Iverson was the basketball version of this: small in stature, long-armed swagger.
@@Kickinthescience What he's saying is Prince played most/if not all of The Time's music in the studio, but on stage, the band itself took it to the next level.
@@operations845 they tore it up on stage and blew the studio version to bits live, prince didn't want those cats in major cities because they wore his band out and stole the crowd, the OG Time lit a fire under prince and he knew it,
Man I would have loved to seen them back during this time!! I’ve read and listened to their interviews that they weren’t to be fucked with on that stage!!! #ILoveTheTime!!
Oh yes, and it was 40 years ago !!! with that style of punchy funky music ?? Ahead of all bands, mixing rock'n funk... Minneapolis was the really place to be if you needed something different.
Jesse was cuttin it the **** up boy . Terry on bass Monte on keys, Jellybean holding down the beat ......Craaaazay. If you listen you can hear a lilbit of funkadelic ala Eddie Hazel maggot brain influenced , in the keyboard and guitar solo
How interesting when it's Prince playing all the Instruments in the Studio including The guitar solo Jesse had to learned how to play it, Jesse could play but Couldn't Write Music. Actually Jimmy jam and Terry Lewis learned how to Write and from Prince
Jesse Johnson killed that solo!
He sure did
Beat me to the comment.
Damn, they were tight in concert!!! They were all bad ass musicians and always on point!!!
indeed !!!! very talented musicians
Listen how Jessie got the guitar singing sick!! the time is the best group in the world with a fusion of rock and funk!!!
I'll say it again. Those claiming later versions of this band, need to check themselves and history. Nobody messing with them back then. Even Prince knew it!
Mr. Prince modulated that shit . you know you hear the lead guitar player too ahead. 😲
Jay and Silent Bob knew it
Those that don’t know history are doomed to repeat it. People PRINCE WROTE AND PLAYED FOR THE BAND THE TIME. HE PLAYED GUITAR AND SANG AND WROTE THE TIMES ALBUMS. PLEASERESEARCH!!!!!
He played much more than just guitar.

These guys are some serious rock and rollers
Hell emphatically yes.

She say get it up 😂 aint got time to waste ! Have mercy
Jesse reminder a laid back LA audience what time it was🚬
Love Jellybean's pocket so much! So perfectly in time yet so groovy.
A REAL BAND, where the live shows are unbelievable!!!
I was their...On a Tuesday night in Hollywood.
Jessie Johnson a really killer
Jesse is cuttin !
This here is why Prince was afraid of them when they perform, he created A MONSTER.
Wow the bass is so loud , drums too , everything is just perfect .better than the studio version
hit us with more songs, this the best audio ive ever heard on a golden era Time recording. you can just hear the crack of jellybean snare so well. jesse insane on this. the thrash outro, this too good.
I agree with you! Put this in mp3 format and play it to death!!!!
Agreed
I have to ask Jesse Johnson if he was a fan of Jeff Beck or if Jeff was a fan of his. Two great guitarists

Best opening act ever. Need a live album from these guys.
Absolutely brillant in live. Those musicians were great. That bass and guitar are super funky. Wish I was in the audience.
I was there!! Sweet 💜
All night
Jay and Silent Bob are loving this. .
Wow the sound is clear love it the time is one of my all time favorite bands.
I NEVER thought I would ever see Morris Day trip on stage! Wow he's just to cool for that to happen 😳
Back when the Time were the opening act for Prince, can you imagine the look on his face when Prince had to come on stage after that.😅
PRINCE is the one that WROTE, PRODUCED, PLAYED AND ARRANGED ALL OF THE TIMES ALBUMS. PLEASE DO YOUR BASIC RESEARCH.
them guitars the drums organ the funk the time
Why am I just now realizing how damn long Morris Day's arms are!!! LOL dis my shit tho!
That's what made him a good drummer !

The. Music. Is. Great
One more time album please while They’re still all alive l
I hope it will be at the Rock in Roll Hall of Fame !
Where's the rest of the concert? This is gold.
Prince control all that u can catch the them and prince in concert i think opening night in Minnesota
Monte Moir in the corner playing keyboard, looking like Charlie Chaplin.
That's what made the Time so cool two keyboard players!
Yea this was dope great quality on this video. I heard the Roxy was popping, much more my parents timeframe. So happy I had these records in my house.
They murked what Prince did in the studio and slayed on stage
You do Know Prince write for them right?
@@Kickinthescience What he's saying is Prince played most/if not all of The Time's music in the studio, but on stage, the band itself took it to the next level.
Whats Murked? Does it mean made it their own and made it sound better. This is the Jam.
@@operations845 they tore it up on stage and blew the studio version to bits live, prince didn't want those cats in major cities because they wore his band out and stole the crowd, the OG Time lit a fire under prince and he knew it,
nah prince still did it better
Wow... I am so glad I was a teenager when these guys were around. Thanks!
The coolest band ever.
Fine as Vintage Wine!!
Man I would have loved to seen them back during this time!! I’ve read and listened to their interviews that they weren’t to be fucked with on that stage!!! #ILoveTheTime!!
Yes!
YES!!!
SUPER FUNKY👍👍👍

💯👍🏽
Thank you for posting
Jesse Johnson is awesome guitarist who can ROCK his ASS OFF!
Jessie was the only one who never took shots at Prince, he knew why he had a career and appreciated the hell out of it.
Not true! I've heard him take shots at Prince.
He took the most shots at Prince lol
I'm just cool
Great Post! Quality sound, if nothing else! Cool!
Highskool baby I miss it Jr. High to I thought I was cool because didn't nobody listen to this gem but me..lol and I seem to pull freaky white girl🤪😍😎
Jesse was cuttin it the **** up boy . Terry on bass Monte on keys, Jellybean holding down the beat ......Craaaazay.

I'm hear Morris the plan is hear
Where is Jerome?
What is this???fuck me a great band of funk rock!!!!this is my kind of thing...
Morris day was a smooth mofo
Filmed with a potato
Tlc should’ve left this song alone
Their version was more hip hop than funk !
I don't think prince could play a guitar as bad as Jesse just my opinion.. rocking jesse
How interesting when it's Prince playing all the Instruments in the Studio including The guitar solo Jesse had to learned how to play it, Jesse could play but Couldn't Write Music. Actually Jimmy jam and Terry Lewis learned how to Write and from Prince
at that level of skill it comes down to personal preference.
@@dremcghee6578 So perhaps we could be enlightened by you. Who taught Prince how to read music
I agree!
The band was magnificent but Morris really can’t sing. Sorry fans
Morris can't sing, you can tell Prince did all of the singing on those songs..
