I can not begin to thank you enough for this. I absolutely love the ground that this woman walks on. She is a walking history book. After all these years and all that she has come through i've never quite seen a Mavis Staples feature length concert. I will cherish this footage as long as it is available to the world. Once again, thank you so much.

This is one of the greatest things I have ever seen. The visual of an Icon from the sixties' message of love, hope, and acceptance moving so many people from my generation moves me to the point of tears. Maybe there is hope for humanity after all... thank you so so very much by posting this <3
