I'll tell you I love my Four Tops albums, my original vinyls, which were all presents actually. I used to get a lot of albums and tapes for Christmas and birthdays. Being from the greater Detroit area you either loved Motown or you didn't, I did! I took my parents to there first ever concert, when I was in my 30's. It was a Four Tops and Temptations show. We had like 5th or 6th row something like that. This guy sitting 2 rows up gets up and starts boogieing with the music. An usher promptly came over and made him sit down. A coupe songs later same man gets up and starts to boogie. Same usher comes over and makes him sit down. My Dad stood up and I thought what the hell? My Dad walks over to the man and the usher and says "Do You know how expensive these damn seats were!? If that man wants to dance you better fuckin' let him!" Dad walked back to his seat, the crowd gave my Dad a round of applause and all Four of the Tops thanked my Dad and told everyone to "...boogie and free the booty!" My Mom & Dad still talk about the show!

With the popularity of the last Nina Simone show, I sped up my process a little bit to get this one ready for every one. We have had amazing response to that particular boot. We have actually broken some page visit records. For the past 5 days we have had over 3000 page views a day! So here's another great performance from The High Priestess Of Soul...Nina Simone!!

JustDave's Notes:
I ripped the audio with DVD Audio Extractor. I then used Goldwave to re-edit a couple track marks and adjust the volume. The applause was louder than the music at times so I tried to even it. No EQ used or re-mastering done. I also deleted about 4 minutes of applause from the end of the show. Filming the long standing ovation makes for great TV imagery, but does nothing for the listening experience. The DVD had lossy audio so it was encoded to MP3 320kbps.

This broadcast has not been released by The Nina Simone Foundation. It is an unofficial release from Immortal Records which releases nothing but bootlegs. However it is being promoted by the Official Home Of Nina Simone. A website that even markets some of Nina's CDs & t-shirts online. It however doesn't market this 0ne, or any DVD for that matter. So we can share it here. It's kind of like Chicago Live In Canada, they don't get anything for it but they say you should buy it to hear it. If you downloaded the last Nina Simone upload you will love this one. It has better sound and a different set list.
