The Voices Of East Harlem In Prison Concert

 

Brilliant!

And they say UK jails are top notch. I bet they don't get quality gigs like this.

Gary Glitter doesn't quite cut it.

You did Byrney. You put me on to it last year. Blew me away. Awesome footage!!!

OMG - 43 odd years later and I feel vindicated.

 

I saw TVOEH in concert a bit before this - August 1970  when they were in this gospel/community choir period. Loved them. But hard to explain to people how brilliant they were until this.

 

This is the early 70's album - all with this same vibe.

 

 

Meanwhile treat yourselves to 4mins 8secs of this:

It's "Right On Be Free" which is the title track of the first album.

 

They did a lot of cover versions - in their own brilliant style. But I think Right On Be Free was written for them.

 

CD version of the album with loads of bonus stuff is up on Amazon. 30 sec snippets of all the tracks so you can get a feel of it all.

Now that's how to film a live gig, pure excitement on stage and captured well by the film makers.

Gotta share this.
