    What a crying shame there wasn’t more people there to see this man perform. He played with the same passion as he did at Woodstock in front of 450,000 people as his did for these few. A true performer and artist .... and MAN. I THANK you Sir for all the beautiful music you made and that you gave us.

      yes, a statement, he doesn't show disappointment or anger at all, if he felt it, he knows where to put it, how to let it smelt, and play~~~~ maybe with special love for the ones present.

      It's a different world now. We have so much technology. Who needs to go to "live" venues today when we can sit at home and watch everything on our electronics. Yes, it's a different world, but not necessarily a better one...

      He played a festival here in Seattle around the same time, we made up for any empty seats. Folks were climbing trees to see over the festival seating at the Seattle Center.

    I watched the Woodstock VHS in the scariest place. And this song stayed with me as a positive experience. I felt I could have freedom. I felt that I could live free from vice.. I'll never be free from vice. Not of my own steam. It would take more than my own steam to be free from vice

      if you were able, to allow this Beautiful Man’s Soul, save you from your personal nightmare and transport you ( your soul ) to a place where, ‘you’ believed you could be free,
      That is Real
      It is The Truth
      Seek it🌚🕊

    I saw and enjoyed so much being 10 feet away when he played the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. Had to have been 20 years ago. Saw Doc Watson and Dr John same day I think. Fantastic. that festival was much more wide open and less outsiders back then but I do see why people travel around the world to see it.
