To this day, seeing Her with this lineup in Bristol is the best gig I've been to. They nailed it so well that the crowd demanded another encore. Jill came out and said "we haven't got anymore songs prepared, but I've had this hook in my head all day" then started beat boxing the feel and the band picked it up. The band just jammed out the idea for about 20 minutes with her freestyling lyrics. Pure class
If you’re talking about Bristol, PA. I was there as well. I was on hold for Mr. Blackstone, the bass player. He was at another gig previously. Chris Dave, the drummer, sent me the tracks to learn just in case since I had played for Jill and with Chris before. He made it, but still got to go and was back stage
this women is real talent. Spoken word, poetry, hip-hop, r&b, funk, blues, jazz, soul. Pure talent. a Real artist. love jill, i hope she never changes.
Spanky on drums, Adam B on bass and music director and of course Jill!!! This live arrangement is WAY TOO sick!!! Why doesn't this stuff go 3x platinum? I got all 3 albums Jill! I'm with ya!!!
How can anyone with a shred of sanity give her a thumbs down? Cannot fathom how some peeps seem to get their jolly's on being so negative. Must be a hell of a bitter life they live....
KnightMoves Productions, LLC if any negative,, well they vote the same way they groove,,,,,, it will fell like what r beginning ta c with Trumps dumb Azz ,,,,,
How can anyone with a shred of sanity can feel the urge to comment about a handful of thumbs down? Cannot fathom how some peeps seem to get their jolly's on being so negative. Must be a hell of a bitter life they live....
Still in awe of the arrangement and blown away by the performance many many years after I discovered this. I wish someone could find the HD version of this gig because it's timeless!!!
Had to revisit this one tonight. Not only am I a fan of Jill Scott, but also an admirer of whoever does these arrangements that are so damn tight. The bassist is one of the best and being a bassist I have immense respect for what he is doing here. A true inspiration all around.
I love my young sisters and brothers that know how to tease some flavor out of our jazz roots. Too often I observe so manybypassed missed opportunities for the neo-soul crowd to pay homage to the music that spawned these subgenres...Bravo, Lady Jill.
I have to see more of this band! It's a crime for that Jill is not on every billboard, she's so consistently good! Best band I've seen her with! Could watch Spanky play all day!
where is this brilliant band now? they re-define tight from top to bottom I so miss real musicians laying down an amazing groove with precision.grace. and soulfulness - we need u!!!
Damnit, Hidden Beach keeps bomb arrangements of their songs. Every live performance renders a different version of Jill's tracks. And each time they become more creative. Go Jill! P.S. Spank fits in nicely with the crew, killin as usual.
Jill is an awesome performer! I had the pleasure of seeing her perform in concert in Milwaukee and she just exploded! Her vocals are rich and pure, my girl just doesn't get the recognition she deserves
What else can I say, she's just too damned talented. Who is Jill Scott? Oh, she's just The Real Thing!! Love that she has a real band, and real musicians. A rare, beautiful, talent, a once in a life time talent. You go girl! Damn!
Lord, I could listen to this woman sing for days. She is my favorite vocalist out there right now. Such a powerful yet controlled voice. She's sexy as hell too. "Golden" is definitely my cut. Thank you so much for the post!
This is Jill Scott's signature song. She says she performs this song because the first line is You're here, I'm pleased and she's says that's her way of thanking the audience for coming and showing their support.
Some years back now but I still remember 1st hearing viewing this vid. I wanted to do this song with my band back in Florida. Through a long story I called Adam Blackstone (I'm an old acquaintance of Adam's Father who gave me Adam's phone number). BTW although Adam didn't know me personally, he took time from his busy schedule to speak with me.(Very humble dude, considering his huge reputation and catalogue) Anyway I'd called him for some pointers on being a good Music Director, and also I wanted to see if he had charts for the arrangement of Long Walk as they performed it on this vid. I'll never forget his answer to the latter question. He was like "Naw man,we didn't use charts we just, vibed it out" Such a cool answer although I did want the charts LOL. Much continued success, peace and love to you Jill and Adam B.
OMG!!!! This band is ridiculous!!!!! Never heard a tighter band!! Spanky definitely set it off as well as Adam on bass!!!! This band is up there with the best hands down!

Unfortunately this beautiful music doesn’t get the praise and recognition that they deserve. Planes, cars dripping in jewels

I'm playing this arrangement and it's a blast. Spanky really has me shedding to try and sound half as good🔥
drummer's on a roll! ..fills on golden are off the hook!!! awesome!!

lets just hope they thumbs it down bc of the quality😉
Know this is musicianship at it's finest!
"Golden" song will always have that sublime effect on me !

Still in awe of the arrangement and blown away by the performance many many years after I discovered this.
