  • If I recall right, it was 1972 or 73 on the northside of Chicago at a club called Ratso's. We got there about 9:30 for the second show; I am not lying, the line for tickets outside the joint was at least six blocks!! Fortunately we had tickets. The Midnight Band got down that night. We love you Gil

  • Gil had a very unique voice....That's the first thing I liked about him....

  • Gil was "Godfather of the Word" not Fuckin' rap. He could sing his ass off, make you feel like you were the only one who really Understood what he was sayin'!!!!!!

  • I feel so privileged that I grew up in an era that had such a beautiful mind as Gil Scott Heron.........My children grew up listening to his music because I did not want them to grow up ignorant of this rich history...........his music will live on forever.......

  • Gil Lives On!

  • Are The Roots the only ones today who understand this music....MUSIC...????

  • What new music do I listen to now? Thank you, Gil .as I look and hope for your replacement.

  • THE GREATEST RAPPER EVER....REAL TALK!

  • R.I.P !!

  • "Peace Be With You Brother"

  • You will missed!!!!!

  • A Crying Shame, Another Great Has To Make Their Transition

    All the best to you Gil as you have made your transition to join the ancestors in the eternal spiritual realm.

    And to your family & love ones, may your spirit continue to provide them with guidance & protection.

    FOREVER, GIL!!!!

  • Anybody know the date and location of this gig?

  • Can anybody tell me where this was filmed and how to get a copy of this concert? This looks like the concert I attended in Washington D.C.in 1982 that was filmed for the BBC. I was a twenty year old political activis.from the Mid-West at the time. There were two identical sets. It was a night of magic

  • @itsmellsinhere666 Yeah, Singers these days sound awful live. This is some great stuff. Can't touch Gil and his quality of entertainers. amen.

  • whow !!!

  • This was made back when live shows offered something more than lip syncing

  • FUCK Kanye.. respect Gil!!

  • @miamiwax i think he did a prety good job on the sample

  • @miamiwax Hi, Kanye is a muppet, a wannabe, you're absolutely right, respect Gill.

  • @miamiwax kanye is helping younger generations become aware of good ass music like this

  • @BigTerrio saying that is saying people are mindless and can't find out about good music unless somebody samples it first. that's bullshit.. if u have half a brain you are listening to this and not kanye in the first place.. btw did u see kanye's performance @ coachella last night on youtube?? straight embarrassing.. dude is so full of himsself he actually believes he can sing now too!!

  • @miamiwax . It's a shame that people focus on his tabloid coverage instead of his music when his music is so innovative and complex. "How we stop the black panthers?

    Ronald Reagan cooked up an answer

    You hear that?

    What Gil Scott was hearin

    When our heroes and heroines got hooked on heroin.

    Crack raised the murder rate in DC and Maryland

    We invested in that it's like we got Merril-Lynched

    And we been hangin from the same tree ever since

    Sometimes I feel the music is the only medicine"

  • @miamiwax FUCK YOU SIR, for even bringing up a shitty name like that! No comparison, WTF! Check yourself fool!

  • @Tarikatlar I made that comment in response to twm03180. he was giving props to kanye for sampling it.

  • @miamiwax gil actually liked it when artist sampled his music. that's why he's known as the godfather of hip hop

  • @miamiwax But KAnye is the voice of a generation. JK He's a gay-fish.

  • @miamiwax fuck you respect kanye and respect gill how about that?

  • @guru1988510 FUCK KANYE.. look how he just completely disrespected otis redding.
