[zwanenzwijn]

Wow this is awesome! Love it!!!

[ILuvMusic4real]

I've loved this lady all my life. Much respect

[goldenthunders]

At 71 years of age this lady still owns the stage as a singer and performer. Electrifying. Mavis sure knows how to get out of the way and let the "soul" sing.

[lyricarol]

Agreed, fantastic--sounds like the Dutch were a little too polite, though. Why are they so quiet?

[readyeddy101]

Fantastic !!

[ccczar]

The place laggie24 wants to know about is Heaven.

[LORRIEVIVALASVEGAS]

Love her!!!!

[mhertz25]

Mavis needs to clear her throat and stop tellin' the guitarist to "play his piano" and also stop ripping off Michael Jackson's "shom-on". Other wise, it's pretty good for 70 something.

[bigfootskitty]

@mhertz25 sorry, Mavis Staples PRE-DATES M.J. Even though Michael started younger

[HoneyKone]

@mhertz25 You must be a youngster. Michael actually ripped off the "shom-on" from Mavis Staples. He even acknowledged it, himself. She doesn't need to clear her throat because she's known for her hoarse, husky voice! She told the guitarist to "play your piano" only because that's the lyric. And for 70 something, she's better than pretty good! Mavis Staples is a living legend!!! You betta believe it.

[bkmerrell3630]

@mhertz25 actually she did it 1st he borrowed it from her

[bkmerrell3630]

@mhertz25 and im sure someone did it before even her

[thpaine1950]

@mhertz25 Shit, man! Mavis was doin' her thing before Michael Jackson was a gleam in his daddies eye!

Whatever her age, Mavis is better n' ever.

[laggie24]

Where's that place....haaaaaa

Grand tune that always reminds me of the pictures: CASINO

[lovelysnowangels]

[Slowhand96]

Saw her at Greenbelt. She was AMAZING. The guitar solos were eye popping too.

[CarlosHigg]

@Slowhand96 me too :D such amazing music

[pwollerman]

The dude with the long hair dancing is Robert Plant, with his Band of Joy, Patty Griffin et al.

[BGirlJessi]

@pwollerman Only Mavis Staples could bring about the awesomeness of the butt bumping between Patty and Robert lol...amazing woman

[TommyAppleseedS]

Yes! So good. I love Mavis!!

[Jitpring]

DAMN! This woman is good!

[OfficialAdamDeRocco]
