Performing the 1973 Bill Withers classic at Terminal 5 in New York City, September 23, 2010. The band chose to shift focus from the original melancholic melody that mourns injured soldiers coming home from Vietnam. This version is absolutely defiant, unapologetically dirt-in-the nails, and quintessentially hip-hop.
Directed by Spike Lee. Part of UNSTAGED, an original series from American Express.
