    The first thing I saw was the inimitable Al Green whom I've loved so long, as he is one of a kind. I could not believe how clear and beautiful a voice Sam Moore has. Mavis Staples's voice is so powerful on this song, and the choir is young, beautiful and energetic. All the performers together, killed it. Al Green is so worthy of being honored. The Lord blessed him with such a great gift.

    This is my favorite performance of Take Me to the River. I love the tempo, Sam Moore, and especially Mavis Staples. That screech that Mavis gives at 1:20 is delicious.

      In my opinion, yes; although the tribute to Led Zeppelin was spectacular, too . . . especially when the choir was presented at 18:10 in this video: ruclips.net/video/ra-itTKnFaw/видео.html
