This video is lifted from the start of the documentary Before The Music Dies. Somehow this clip found its way in front of me again. I don’t know, probably Reddit. If you’ve got the time, give it a dedicated watch. The movie came out about five or six years ago and it is a warning cry about the trend away from talent in the music industry. Alarming.
That’s not why I posted this video though! I have faith in Music still, despite that documentary. I posted this video because Billy Preston is a certified bad-ass. Look at that dude go! The day I am as cool as Billy Preston will be…never.
What you’re watching here is a very, very talented presentation of what it feels like to be free.
