Donny Hathaway/Virginia, USA 1973

The live performance at the Hampton Jazz Festival held at Hampton Coliseum in Virginia on June 16, 1973 is recorded in master quality and soundboard sound source. Just like the live performance at Carnegie Hall two weeks later on June 30th, this is also a perfect sound board source that has been leaked by people involved in recent years, and since there are almost no live sound sources, this performance at its peak. As a fan, I’m really happy to hear that. Moreover, “Little Ghetto Boy” and “More Than You’ll Ever Know” were not recorded at Carnegie Hall, and the wonderful rhythm and speed of the last number “Ghetto” will give you goosebumps. Speaking of Hathaway, many people probably think of that “LIVE”, which is a masterpiece that represents his career, but it is said that this period was when he was at his best. Being able to experience the whole story in this way is truly the ultimate bliss. Furthermore, in past distribution, there were noises and cuts in “Someday We’ll All Be Free”, but because it is a master, it is recorded perfectly, a must-listen item for 70’s soul fans. 01.
