Personally, I was pleasantly surprised that Gil Scott Heron even made the
stage, given the sad tales told by people who have been to abortive gigs of
his before. When he got there, looking skinny but sharp-eyed, he performed
four or five rhythmic, repetitive jams of the type that are completely
hypnotic for the stoned. Some in the audience were obviously frustrated that
he never cut to the chase, but I was satisfied, especially as the man has a
talent for putting some righteous beliefs into words of powerful beauty.
The poetic talents of Dana Bryant are also something to behold. And she let
loose a few bars of what sounds like an amazing gospel singing voice.
Someone told me she's done vocals on some house tracks. Anyone care to
dispell my ignorance on this?
