Holy monkey, he holds that note for twenty freaking seconds!

I cried when he died. I never have for anybody other than family and very close friends.

once is a while the universe sends us gifts. If we have ears to hear it.

@edthehead83 Can you email me your bootlegs man!?

[LanakilaIesu]

I had heard people say that the last time they saw Michael he was spankin' the guitar like a hound and singing like an angel - even more so than before - but running across this and a few other videos like it from the same show for the first time tonight...it's the first time I've been able to hear for myself just what they meant. To see him this way - so lovely and strong only weeks before the accident - feeds my heart and breaks it at once...life is precious. Thank you for posting this video.

One of my all time favorites from him. Simple, beautiful!

[bloodskulls]

I"m still crying that he's gone.

I am so happy to see this. I saw him several times in the 80s but did not see him in the 90s. I wondered what the NOHAIR thing was about. The first time I saw him was after Arial Boundarys. I expected a guy sitting on a stool. He camo out in Tee shirt and riped jeans and opened with Watch Tower. I WAS BLOWN AWAY.

I miss him in the worls!!!
