He gave some of the best concerts on earth. There was nothing like a Rick James concert. When I was young I went to just about every show he had in New York at Madison Square Garden. The entire audience would be on their feet dancing and singing all the lyrics and everybody would be smoking weed. Once Rick screamed out to the audience "Anybody got a joint for me?" and tons of people in the audience threw marijuana up on the stage. I think he was performing that song "Busting Out of L-7" Everybody in the place was smoking weed and those who weren't smoking got a buzz anyway. There were cops and security all over the place but they didn't bother anybody. The cops were probably high from all the smoke. People were standing on the chairs. It was like a huge party. And boy oh boy, he was wearing those tight leather jumpsuits. Rick sure went out with a bang when he screamed out national television right before he died, "I'm Rick James, beeyatch! That about sums it all up.
