Otis Redding just fuckin around and killing it at Monterey Pop.

I've been there. You got the audience in the palm of your hands and you can do no wrong. There's no work involved no more. You're just having as much fun as the crowd because you've made a connection. This is what musicians crave more than anything. Fuck man. Dig his smile!

Love him so much. Losing him and his wonderful band was devastating.

But I'd kill to have 10 more years of LP's. He's been a huge influence on me....

I hadn't seen it before. Never saw him in person. How awesome that would have been!

I'm almost 70 and I feel fortunate to have grown up with and experienced the best music ever all my life. So many younger folks enjoy it too.
