    "Cos'è dunque la malinconia? E' l'isterismo dello spirito.
    Giunge un momento nella vita dell'uomo in cui l'immediatezza diviene quasi matura ed in cui lo spirito esige una forma superiore
    nella quale affermare se stesso come spirito.
    Come spirito immediato l'uomo è una cosa sola con tutta la vita terrena,
    e lo spirito si vuol quasi raccogliere fuori da questa dispersione, e trasfigurarsi in se stesso:
    la personalità vuole diventare cosciente di se nel suo eterno valore.
    Se questo non accade, se il movimento si ferma, e viene represso, subentra la Malinconia."

Somehow, I completely missed everything provided by the Average White Band in my younger years. I heard their name of course, but for whatever reason I associated it with some "one hit wonder" band I had long forgotten about. Today I was prompted to look their work up....I was stunned. ......2x4 to the face. This stuff is massive! I would put this up there with legendary stuff like "Switch" and "Tower of Power".......any day of the week and twice on Sunday.

    The way they have punched through, live, in concert is very wonderful.
    I don't know how long it took, but they finally, consistently have played through their great stuff. I saw that in person 2 years ago. I'm stupid right now but probably most agree with me.
    Yes: AWB is a really great band to see live. So Natural and human. I have a feeling that they are the same wherever they go.

      This a truly amazing track from a magic era. The horns are beyond compare. Shows that "Funk" had gone global, not just inner city America. AWB was right before "Disco" and along with the OZZY Bee Gees had a huge influence on the "Saturday Night Fever" thing.
