MUSIC - What are ASF members listening to?

Given the pandemic and lack of live music, here's some random clips the only common theme being they're all live shows where I was in the audience.





 

Based on Havens's own recollection, he had no idea that he would be the first performer [at Woodstock] after hours of delay in front of a crowd of hundreds of thousands; he performed for nearly three hours, with many encores, ending with the iconic improvised rendition of "Freedom" that would mark his career. Havens recalled that he was told to continue playing because many artists scheduled to perform after him were delayed in reaching the festival location with highways at a virtual standstill. Havens recalled being called back for several encores. Having run out of tunes, he improvised a song based on the old spiritual "Motherless Child" that became "Freedom". In an interview with Cliff Smith, for Music-Room, he explained:
"I'd already played every song I knew and I was stalling, asking for more guitar and mic, trying to think of something else to play – and then it just came to me ... The establishment was foolish enough to give us all this freedom and we used it in every way we could."
 
This song is kind of ironic for a stock market forum, but it's been an ear worm that has been with me for about a week now.
