Nina Simone - Go to Hell (live)

Nina Simone - Go to Hell

If your mind lies in the Devil's workshop
Evil-doin's your thrill
And trouble and mischief is all you live for
You know damn well
That you'll go to hell (yeah)
You'll go to hell

Now you're living high and mighty
Rich off the fat of the land
Just don't dispose of your natural soul
'cos if you do you know damn well
That you'll go to hell (yes, you will)
You'll go to hell

Hell
Where your natural soul burns
Hell
Where you pay for your sins
Hell
Keep your children from doing wrong (if you can)
'cos you know damn well
That they'll go to hell
They'll go to hell

Hell
Man, woman were created
Hell
To live for eternity
Hell
With an apple they ate from the tree of hate
So you know damn well
Oh... they went to hell (yes, they did)
They went to hell

Some say that hell is below us
But I say it's right by my side
'cos you see evil in the morning
Evil in the evening, all the time
You know damn well
That we all must be in hell
We got to be in hell
We all must be in hell
We must be in hell.

What year was this recorded, and where?

2:19 - - The Nina Bench Vault. Classic. When she's feeling it, I'm feeling. It permeates. And that last strike and rise from the piano is EPIC!

@misticmocha I hear ya...we can only keep playing and listening to Nina and promoting this gifted musician as well as many of her peers who were unjustly treated, underappreciated, or played to zombies who didn't appreciate or respectfully honor her/them, or acknowledge that they, the audience, were in the presence of greatness unmatched..music that wows us today and lives on because of people like you..thanks and the person who posted it

thank you

theres nobody more unique than nina. this is what makes her special. she needs music and has no choice but to make it. she was a rare treasure.

Anybody know the whole band personnel? I can guess, some, but it's kinda before even my old time, and hard to see...

[Drummykins]

@misticmocha Look again, and try to get the bloody point, and what would be a problem if all kinds of folk loved to hear her? The music! Listen again! She's dead! I knew her! can you stop looking at color or costume, and get it while you can? It's a miracle we get this at all! Jeez! come on, please, everyone, get the point! I'm tired, and I'm about all that's left who knows! Help me! Music! Joy! Fury! intensity! Feeling!

She's beautiful.  Love you Nina!

[ROMANTICLOVE09]

I love the way she takes her aggression out on the piano at the end of the song and then snatches away at the last note!! Damn that shit made me feel good than a m.f.!!! It's like she tellin them to go to hell for treatin people unfairly/unequally/unjustly!!! Gone to hell dammit!!!
