@Mixxersmix I regard this as the "master version" it is by far and away the best recording of this song. When I think of The Bottle this is the version that runs in my head.
Gil Scott Heron and the Midnight Band was the first artist I saw in concert. I was 13 and visiting relatives in Oakland in 1975. They were the opening act before Earth Wind and Fire. I fell in love with them and bought every album they made and played them until 2005 when I lost them all in Hurricane K. I was able to recover almost every album I owned but not Gil Scott's. All of his albums were sitting on top of the turntable and the wall unit crushed. Thanks to whoever put this on utube.
awesome!!!
