Gil Scott-Heron The Bottle Live

Saw him live back in 80s.Still my fave live act that i have seen.

Saw Gil Scott Heron live in the early 90's ..absolutely brilliant show and one of the best concerts I've been to, along with seeing Hugh Masekela live.

Dunno how many people here have heard the 'Amnesia Express Tales Of Gil Scott Heron'  live lp but it's an excellent album and well worth checking.

I saw Gil many times in the 80's. He was, without a doubt, one of the most consistently good live performers I have ever seen. I had the privilege to see him not long before he died at Manchester Opera house on his I'm New Hear tour. Though clearly unwell, he was fantastic. His between songs patter was back at his laconic, humorous best and though his voice was a wee bit gravelly, it was a joy to hear him perform again. Gil's lost years were a loss for everyone who loves great music.

Thanks Peter for sharing this and reminding me of the great man.
