Poet, novelist and musician Gil Scott-Heron's career ran from 1970 to 2010. He left us with a dozen studio LPs that are thought provoking, soulful, jazz inflected and at times seriously funky. A passionate voice with a keen eye for politics and social justice his work was never less than interesting and always compelling in a live setting. This performance comes from his golden period as he was making a string of classic albums for Arista records with his writing partner Brian Jackson and honing his skills as a blues/jazz/funk performer. Includes the classic tracks Home Is Where The Hatred Is, Johannesburg and The Bottle. The concert was performed in Berkeley, January 16th, 1978 and broadcast on KALX-FM radio.
