I saw Mavis singing, preaching, dancing and teaching when she was 80 years old and couldn’t believe the power and energy she brought to the stage. And here she is, powerful as ever. She’s the bomb!

I have had the good fortune of seeing Mavis 20 times over the years. Always a thrill!! She should have been on the DNC main stage. She is the Gold Standard for the meaning of Freedom and Civil Rights!! RIP Pops, Cleotha, Pervis and Yvonne.

Yesss-privileged! I’ve never felt so blessed to hear someone sing as Mavis Staples herself. Anyone who wants a taste should do themselves a favor & get the live record of her 75th b-day concert…the all-star guests are something & Mavis calling out a crowd member for not joining in on ‘I’ll Take You There’ is just priceless.

Hope is alive! I distinctly remember listening to You Are Not Alone the morning of Nov 9 2016. It felt like the world had changed overnight and I felt serious worry about the world my kids would inevitably inherit. What a salve and a comfort that song brought me in that time of darkness. This blessing of a performance , by these two national treasures, is like the hopeful bookend. I have not felt this positive about our future in 8 years.

Thank you Stephen, and staff, for an awesome job doing four live shows basically "on the fly". Your show has helped keep me sane since 2015. It let me know I was not the only one seeing how far America strayed off course. I feel the ship taking a hard turn to port, the main sails are about to hoist and the spinnakers are ready to fill with wind. Captain Kamala and First Officer Tim will be at the helm come November. (My Dad was Canadian Navy - he ran the engine room - nothing he couldn't fix). This Canadian, and her American hubby, are rooting for you from north of the 49th. VOTE BLUE

Hey everybody! It's 4:22am in my neck of the woods. But it was well worth the wait sir!! I watched the whole week and I really enjoyed myself. I am a 78 years old and a Democrat all my voting years. I am so grateful the Lord blessed us to see this happen. It reminds of when my mother got to see and vote for President Obama. What a day that way!! It was four generations of my family living. My mother, me,my daughter and her great grandson. What a day that was. Precious memories!!!!! But i wanted you to know i really enjoyed your show and i am a fan of yours!!!! Thanks again for a wonderful week!!!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Praying for all of us in the mighty name of Jesus Christ Amen. Please everybody go vote blue up and down your card!!!!!! WE ARE NOT GOING BACK!!!!!!! Have a blessed and safe week everyone 🙏
