Be Here Now: Sisters in Soul @ Troy Savings Bank Music Hall, 3/14/10
Oh boy!
Maria Muldaur, Marcia Ball and Bettye LaVette – all in one concert at 7pm on Sunday and the Troy Savings Bank Music Hall.
We here at Nippertown.com are very excited about this concert, and we’re giving away a pair of tix for the show. Just go here for details. We’ll be picking a winner later today, so enter now.
And we were going to write this big, long story about what an incredible soul singer Ms. LaVette is. We were going to rave about previous performances of her’s that we’ve seen at the Iron Horse Music Hall and the Freihofer’s Jazz Festival. But then we realized that we didn’t have to. All we really need to do is give you the opportunity to hear her sing. So here you go, Bettye LaVette singing the Who’s “Love Reign O’er Me” at the Kennedy Center Honors:
We’ll see you at the Troy Savings Bank Music Hall on Sunday!
I’ve posted this specific performance on my blog at least twice. LOVE the reaction of Daltrey and Townsend, especially.
Oh yeah. I need to watch this at least once a week. During the clip you see Barbra Streisand lean over and whisper to Townshend – apparently she asked him, “Did you REALLY write this song?”
