Remember, there was joy before all this; and it's still here, if you just look for it

Thank you for this collection!! So needed at this time. Take care. You're special.
lotta good stuff...surprised & delighted w/ Tom Jones join'in' CSN&Y (but dang DC wuz higher than a kite, near cross-eyed)... nice Dylan, a surprise tour de force from Prince, & fer me Sly in his Glitter & Bling rounded it out (sportin' his famous Star of David Kapralik lol)....
T'day when I wartch noo/live concert band footage it's all missin' the wild, the unexpected, the improv'd--seems like it's all canned an' too slick by half. Watchin' this fine faded footage (likely much shot in 16mm) it was raw 'n real--the sweat, the bravura, an' the shared camaraderie that seems ta have left the thee-ate-er t'day. In these old cuts (the older ones 'specially) they simply are all jus' diggin' each other...the music shows it. Now methinks they're all bejabbered & dulled...ain't just age (as we see Old Bob still rocks it!)
