I didn't watch the whole video in case he started speaking in tongues.

I can't stand when I accidentally channel-surf into that stuff.

what's wrong with his hand?

So... are you saying it would have been better if it had been "Let's Stay Together" or "Tired of Being Alone"?

The subject matter does not detract from his singing talent.

Yes, any of the two songs you mentioned would be preferable. Both classics.

"The subject matter does not detract from his singing talent."

No, but the fact that he's acting like he has a mental disorder does.

The REVEREND Al Green.
I would go to church if it was more like this.

I love the Lynchian sling, the yellow pants, really everything about this performance. Few performers are willing to . . .um . . .'explore the space' like this nowadays.

My favorite Al Green story:

Found another link @

Don't know if we can embed the dailymotion or not, though.

Discarding this video. It was flagged as dead but not flagged undead within 7 days.

James, can you grab the new embed code from the above link and bring it back from the dead?

*undead

Only dead videos may be flagged undead (ignoring request by gold star member James Roe)

If it were only dead, then I would have done that.

Pull out the sift-fu that gold stars DON'T have

fixed

earlier i changed the embed also, the video was working, my undead just didn't revive it :-/

Had to manually enter the database, i think it was PM's manual self discard that set it on its errant way.

wow, didn't realize this had be resurrected. thanks!

(never did manually discard it, so don't know what happened there)...

yes . . .i spotted a live link when i was sifting my soul train dance spectacular. i should have sent a profile message, but the resurrection took several days. this needs to be top 15

*promote

Re-promoting this video to the front page as a VideoSift Classic. Originally published on Thursday 31st August 2006 (promotion called by gold star member rickegee)

i think he's wearing a digital watch, they were only just available to buy in 1972

Greatest live performance I have ever seen.
