It’s a miracle that all this footage not only exists, but that we have ?uestlove to put it all together for us. Joyous, warm and important.
If you're at all unfamiliar, please watch this. Questlove did us a favor by putting us on to Mahalia and friends.
The opening scene with Stevie shredding the drums gave me goosebumps!!
Very moving, the best music and talent. Sad this film laid dormant for decades. Very moving, had me in tears. incredible stories and talent
Filled with style, and a lot to learn about a very special event.
Questlove = MUST watch. Great documentary. Something like this would be great today.
Questlove’s doc on concert in same year as Woodstock. These were some of music’s best. Simone’s performance is beyond any from Woodstock.
you almost wished you could have been there to see the music and to see 300,000 people showed up, it sucks that it took 50 years publicly
Incredible lost footage of a huge soul and blues music festival in 1969.
Expertly captures the electricity of this event, and provides crucial context for why this was important. So much more than just a music doc
