Ever since I first heard this song I've been collecting versions of it,this is another one,there are very few with the integrity of Jackson-Donovan springs to mind.Viva esta gente!
Incredible...This song and the whole Late for The Sky album have been special to me since I was a kid in the late seventies. The emotive thought behind the lyrics creates an audio landscape I go back to every time I hear this song and this live version adds another layer of melody that makes it even better.
I've never seen him live but this has me searching for concert dates.
@rtrawler If you ever have the opportunity to see him DO NOT pass it up! JB is the real deal, a wonderful human being that treats all he encounters with love, peace and grace. He performed a private solo show for my wife and I alone the night before a show we were producing for him. It is one of our fondest memories. I am so happy you enjoyed this video although I can only take credit for some of the editing and sound enhancement, it is posted elsewhere on YouTube!
I love this arrangement of the song. It is beautifully done. The music is incredible, the backup singers are exceptional and as always, Jackson B. voice is rich, pure and smooth as silk. He has one of the voices that when you hear it, there is instant recognition. There is no doubt who is on the other side of that amazing voice you are hearing. He is truly a talented and gifted man.
This song was written in the late 1960s as a countercultural statement about the coming fall of the mainstream culture due to an natural apocalypse. It anticipated the "back to the land" movement of the early 1970s.
Beautiful version of After the Deluge. Not sure exactly what it all means, but it makes me think of the Elves leaving Middle Earth in Lord of the Rings.
in the end they traded their tired wings for the resignation that living brings

I often listen to this five or six times in a row and wonder how many people who listen to this really understand what this song is really about.
