The Pointer Sisters - Yes We Can Can (live)

I was recently in the hospital for six months. I had six surgeries including amputation of my leg. This song was part of what kept me motivated to get better. It would not be a stretch to say The Pointer Sisters helped to save my life.

It blows my mind how great they were live. What a powerful performance. I come back to watch this video every few months and it always gives me a smile and a feeling of hope. RIP Anita. Thank you for all the great 🎶

I had the privilege of seeing them do this live @ Disneyland back in 1973. One of the best concerts I’ve ever been to. RIP Anita ❤

If you've never REALLY listened to the lyrics of this song..... So befitting in the times that we're living in. Thought-provoking and inspiring indeed.

Anita was fantastic here -- this has to be the best performance of "Yes We Can Can" I've seen them do. What a woman -- I hope she knew how very loved she was.

The vocals and this BAND are LEGENDARY. Wow 😮😮😮😮These icons are the truth.

THE greatest girl group ever. Nobody even comes close. Different class in every respect.

Gaylord Birch was the secret ingredient on the record. He died in '96 so it's wonderful to see him in action in this dazzling performance. God, I knew they were great, but I didn't know they were THIS great! I wish I'd seen them live! RIP Bonnie! So sad to see u leave us.

GREAT GOSH ALMIGHTY!! Whew these ladies/ sisters are BAD!! Four pure, poised, extremely talented singers. These ladies are the REAL DEAL. Whew, the gentleman on the drums is KILLER. He’s in his own zone. Pure talent. Love their style. Clothes, 💄 makeup, hair, shoes 👠, accessories. EVERYTHING!! Simply phenomenal. I love them. They don’t make them like that anymore.🙌 🤩

Anita was the whole package... powerful and sensitive voice, beautiful with great stage presence, good writer and so full of that magnificent energy that few people possess.

I remember the Pointer Sisters very well. I also grew up in Oakland and saw a lot of bands in the Bay Area in the late 60's and early 70's. One place I went to a lot was the Berkeley Community Theatre - I saw many, many great people and bands there. One band was the Elvin Bishop Group. They supported a lot for things like John Lee Hooker, Van Morrison and Ike and Tina Turner etc. One time I went to the loo between the shows and saw the Pointer Sisters after their set sitting in the lobby. I walked over and told them how much I liked them - this was probably about 1970 - they were so gracious and sweet and chatted to me for awhile. I will never forget them.

This was indeed a very powerful performance by all four of the Pointer Sisters. Their talent enabled them to engage their audience. Now from listening to this live performance of "Yes We Can Can," I can hear the song's message of both the realization of chaotic times as well as the hope that if people put aside their differences, they could get along. Rest in peace, Bonnie and June Pointer.

RIP Anita. You and your sisters have been an inspiration to generations. Thank you for helping us all along on our journey and I hope the next leg of yours is full of beauty and joy

Allen Toussaint wrote a message for the ages and The Pointer Sisters definitely delivered this message.

“How can you sit there like there’s nothing to do just like you don’t care? What the world coming to, Lord.” My favorite line.

Loved this era of Pointers. RIP Anita.
