Judy Mowatt-Walk the Proud Land

This performance of Judy's is such a gem, I am making an exception and uploading an old rough cut of a video that I have not started re-mastering yet.
This performance took place in 1989 at the Diamond Club in Toronto, Canada. The show was produced by my friend, Buzrak Mabrak (RIP), and though my memory is hazy, I recall many technical challenges that had to be overcome, both sound-wise and power-wise. Because of those glitches, we decided to travel to Montreal later that night to shoot Judy's performance the next day (I remember that part vividly, because I did all the driving in an altered state of exhaustion and stress). I haven't had a chance to digitize the Montreal footage yet, but am looking forward to seeing it. I have no remembrance of that night whatsoever!
Anyway,, I decided to share this now even though it's a bare-bones edit and I am usually a stickler for perfection, because I know that it's going to take me some time to dig out all the camera masters and edit this concert properly. The bottom section of the video had a time-code insert that I had to cover too, but I figured if I found Judy's performance a joy to behold despite these rough edges, you will too. Why delay the share? We need these good vibes now. What a great performer Judy Mowatt is!
I will add information about the back-up singers and band as soon as I can.
Please consider making a small donation to the channel through the PayPal link, if you are in a position to do so. Every time I pull out another tape, I realize what a treasure trove this archive is and how much work needs to be done to get it out to the public. Your support will be much appreciated and will enable me to hire another editor at some point to digitize and master the rest of the footage at a faster pace.
In the meantime, please enjoy some good girl culture from the one and only, Judy Mowatt.
One love,
Diane
