The deacon Solomon Burke played a free show in Detroit last night (refer to the previous post). It was a fantastic show and one that I’ll remember forever. He’s still got it to be sure. A gospel choir performed Lay My Burden Down before he went on. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to stay for the entire show, but I saw a little over an hour of his set and caught a lot of classics: Cry to Me, If You Need Me, Down In The Valley, the Tom Waites penned Keep a Diamond in Your Mind, Sittin’ On the Dock of the Bay, and many others. I recorded some audio of the show and will work on getting that posted.

You are absolutely right - When you go to a Solomon Burke show you will never forget him. He just has a gift.
Thanks for the Youtube videos, Would love to hear the audio recordings too! Look forward to them.
