Now Playing + What are you listening to?

Hopefully we will join you up in the north democratic polytheism this Summer. Plan to go to Lago Como in the beginning of September.

Today was my last day in our town council. Been involved in politics and entered seat #48 (of 51) 9 years ago, but just recently I got fed up as no-one seems to take any actions to get our community up and running, got fed up by all the back-stabbing and gossiping among the politicians. So I left with a "I've had enough ...".
While my ex-co-politicians still are sitting and trying to find out how the budget for the coming year will look like (where to cut ...), I am back home planning for some coffe, a nice liquer and cheese and listen to lovesongs to π and washing mashines trying to sooth a sore soul.

You know who sings these songs ...

BBC Review

Recorded on Friday 6th October 1972, Bill Withers Live At Carnegie Hall is one of those rare in-concert albums that puts you right there in the room. It's like for one night only the Apollo in Harlem had moved 68 blocks downtown.

Captured on a night of heavy rain, Withers is genuinely humbled by the reaction of his audience. He thanks his crowd repeatedly for coming out in it, and the magic crackles from the start. Opener Use Me goes down so well, he gives in immediately to the multitude and plays it again.

His easygoing command of the situation can be heard in the band introductions in Friend Of Mine, and his passionate reminiscing about his grandmother before Grandma's Hands. His denouncement of war as, ''one big drag'' on the intro to the show-stopping anti-Vietnam I Can't Write Left Handed (later the sample for Fatboy Slim's Demons) is most poignant.

Bill Withers is one of those artists, who after hearing a few tracks again, you wonder why you'd ever listen to anyone else. Here, you have stunning versions of Ain't No Sunshine, Lean On Me and a take of Harlem that brings the house down. As he wrote in the original notes for the album, ''in about an hour and a half that audience transformed us all from nervous, serious musicians into free and happy people. I know I'll never forget it''.

If you know this album well, you'll never forget it too. If you are unfamiliar with it, go hear it immediately. It is up there with James Brown Live at the Apollo 1962, Aretha's Amazing Grace or Van Morrison's It's Too Late To Stop Now for allowing you to truly share the live experience of an artist at their pinnacle. --Daryl Easlea
