I was ten year's old, I useto lived far down the street

from it. I did not know that they the whole documentry.

That was probably, 1972, or 1973, at the time. And,

that was long before 1992 riot came alone. Do you

remember the good old days? dsoblue!

One of my all-time favorites. My moms was 11 or 12 living in Gardena at the time the Wattstax was going on. I was born 10 years later in '82. If I'd been born 20 years earlier, I would've most definitely attended lol.

Florida! That's all i'm gonna say, lol

So cool to see Mr. Albert King full of energy. He is the only act i've seen out of this lineup. It was the best live concert I ever attended by a longshot. He came to Fargo, ND in '01.

5000 white people, maybe a dozen black people, and he played so earnest and heartfelt, like he was sitting in a jukejoint filled with close friends, deep in the bayou

Rated "R". Restricted because it's REAL!

[Donnatella Soleil]

We can make it like it was again. <3
