For all of you who claim J5 didn't play instruments live

I know it is said that J5 didn't always play instruments on records and that may well be. But I've seen numerous live performance with them from the 70's and Jermaine, Randy and Tito always played live. I especially like the way Jermaine handles the bass. This performance is really not a good example of their skills at the time but at least you'll see that they in fact did play.

http://mjvideo.oyvindeid.com/ Watch the fifth clip: live from Paris 1972 with Goin back to Indiana and Brand new thing. Also Randy is introduced here.

I will also recommend you to watch the televised performance including Got to be there/Got to be there...listen to Michael's voice...so soulful...why can't he go back singing the soul again sad

You can also hear Tito playing a nice solo on his site http://www.titojackson.com/ Don't click enter...the music will begin after a while...there's also a videoclip of Tito playing and singing the blues.

Didn´t know Tito had his own website. Gotta check it out.
"When Michael Jackson is just singing and dancing, you just think this is an astonishing talent. And he has had this astounding talent all his life, but we want him to be floored as well. We really don´t like the idea that he could have it all."
