I came across a few videos with footage of Jamerson playing live:

The first is Martha Reeves live and the second is a more well-known Marvin Gaye concert. Just incase anyone hasn't seen these.

Hadn't seen the Gaye footage. Wonderful. And seeing and hearing Jamerson just couldn't be better. Many thanks Thomas. So enjoyable.

I'd not seen the Martha. What a beautiful start to the day. Many thanks for sharing. Isn't that Dennis Coffey on guitar?

Yep it is, also with Wah Wah Watson I believe.

I'd seen the Gaye clip, but the Martha upload... WOW that's a Martha live performance I've never been privileged to witness before. And JJ too!

I was a part of the audience on the second clip. The footage is from the Push Expo of 1972. That's Bongo Eddie, Earl Van Dyke and Eli Fontaine playing the gig as well. I had no idea who I was really looking at back then.

Funky Martha!

That must have been awesome! I'm so jealous.
