5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best "live" albums ever, April 18, 2002

By	Jason H. Luckett "jasonluckett_com" (Culver City, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I'm talking about the vinyl version here, which I spent [$$$] on about 10 years ago, and though I'm waiting for a domestic copy, (there's one coming out with Emergency Ward and It Is Finished combined) I can heartily endorse this album. The gender flip, self-affirming alternate examination of "Black Is the Color" is priceless. I can't believe this version hasn't been as widely available as the songs "Images" and "Turning Point." It kind of completes a powerful trilogy of self awareness. Then to hear her close the set with "To Be Young Gifted and Black" you'll be transported to a time where pain was present, but nihilism wasn't an option. It's the sort of moment captured that inspires one to hold his head up, grab a hand and walk into a hostile world beaming with the strength of love and hope.

Now the only weird thing about it is that the whole album isn't entirely live, as anyone who has the Sugar In My Bowl collection knows. But however this collage was put together, the net result is extremely inspirational art.
