roadhse ma Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Chime on in and let the scenarios begin!!Also last time I saw the Divine Mavis Staples she Blew me away! Ck out this paste from Chicago Tribune in 08At this juncture of her career, Staples’ vocals draw more from her gospel roots instead of the power of a full-tilt soul singer. Her santicfing shouts on “Freedom Highway” were one of the evening’s highlights, and she approached Robbie Robertson’s “The Weight” with the rustic dignity of her hero, Dorothy Love Coates. The evening’s encores included a stark cover of “I’ll Take You There,” where Staples was accompanied only by Holmstrom’s soulful guitar. It was the only major Staple Singers hit the group covered. Hideout owners wisely kept tickets to the sold-out show to a comfortable minimum; less than 200 people were in attendance, including Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy. The vibe was arguably hip, and although Staples sang from “We’ll Never Turn Back” I saw the classic North Side tamale vendor turned back as he tried to move past the soundboard...??
