I’ve been trying to find this video for years. The groove is stunning. Thanks for posting.

"THIS MIC DOESN'T COME OFF!", as she shoots a withering look of disapproval at whoever was responsible before continuing in the same, smooth groove. What talent!

Por fin vuelve a estar disponible esta versión. Es brutal. Especialmente la percusión y esa voz.

WOW my first time viewing this dynamic soul one our greatest of all times

The music, the lyrics, the NINA! This performance sets me free. What a lucky audience.

Mind-blowing in its power yet calmness, simplicity, but complex. It's got to be one of the most captivating live renditions of that amazing song, or any song. Such a delight. I've watched it many times, it never gets old.

I love this. It sounds like Nina Simone meets Richie Havens. What a great interpretation of this great classic.

Da: "Hollywood sul Tevere" - Hank Kaufman e Gene Lerner (1980) - riportato da Pier Vittorio Tondelli: <<Un resoconto struggente del concerto che al teatro Sistina, il 3 novembre 1969, Nina Simone diede, scorata, di fronte a una platea semivuota. Fu allora che Anna Magnani, inviperita con il pubblico romano e vedendo che la Simone non aveva intenzione di cantare si alzò dalla platea urlando: "Vergogna! Vergogna! Facciamo un applauso a questa grande artista americana come se in ognuno di noi ci fossero dieci persone!"
E il concerto ebbe luogo.>>

Just no.

She absolutely murders a great song, (and not in a good way, ) and I usually love her stuff to death.
