The orchestra was very profession. Nicely complimented Miss Staples whose voice was and still is amazing.

This is so Awesome John Baptist he's so humble the admiration in his eyes for Mavis Staples is epic the way Mavis goes around to the band members letting us hear the voice of their musical equipment is beyond words one of the best concert by far love every moment of it

My mother loved this song, she bought the live album which the staple singers sang with their father. Listening to this is making tears come remembering me and my mom singing this song together.

Death is not permanent, you will see your family when you transition. I got to know about this music through my elder sister, I appreciated her always for that. God bless your family and Papa Staples.

Mavis has one of those voices that makes the song “Mary Had a Little Lamb” sound soulful ❤️❤️❤️!!!

[lindarobinson]

This is special with Mavis, John and all of the other entertainers.

The piano player, wow he is absolutely gorgeous. This is a great song. I was 10 when this came out, living in Vancouver Canada, but I knew great music, back then.

Mavis Staple without The Staple Singers, still got it going on, while taking us back to 1970 -71 and still sounding as Good as ever, I suppose when you got it, you really got it ...

Thank you so very much!! Donny (Mavis' very handsome backup singer) died last week and it is so comforting to see him here so happy!
