Noble Poet, wish he was still here. Can someone organize a Anti War Concert Now.

[@josedeleon2866]

This young dumb crowd not ready for Gil...just didn't get the vibe!!!

[@twinpeaksVVV]

Sadly, Gil's messages remain as relevant as ever, whether he's singing about addiction, war, or social injustice. A legend and an inspiration. Now with the spirits.

[@ramonrios3811]

Indubitably!

[@uneedaspurlock4424]

This is 2023 and iam still listening to this music now today ❤❤RIP my brother.

[@leftydiablo]

i love this man. i saw him many times, when I was in my 20's. i never attended concerts, but i made an exception for GILL. He was a true genius. It makes me sick to think that he spent his last year's on the street. Rip Gill Scott Heron.

[@mizpahboy7513]

+Edward Mack I too never cared for concerts but where ever Gil was appearing I tried to be there...somehow the attitude of the crowd was different....Gils music had that effect on folks. When you heard him heads not only bopped but minds and hearts were in tune with the person next to you.Gil's death was a hard piece to hear.The voice of the revolution will be missed....but the message he left will live on forever...ya feel me?

[@josedeleon2866]

[@eddiebrown1347]

Remember being turned on to Gil walking down the street with my best friend, we were in Jr High and an older Brother busted out his house and said very earnestly to come inside and here this music, I listened and it changed my life. Gil Scott is more relevant now than ever before 🎼🎙🎹🎸🎷🥁🔊🎶💔 RIPOWER!

[@flyingsnow311]

I'm blessed not only that of a young age i found out about Gil and admired hes music and he's voice very much. Somewhere at the end of the 80's I saw Gil Scott Heron performing live. One of those Concerts i will never forget. He stated the show with a song i cant remember, but it started with he's voice and electric piano only. What a warm feeling. I was blown away. 💜

[@TheMadamfee1234]

PREACH BROTHER 🙏💖

[@denicepaschal9770]

This Brother right here. Changed my thinking process. I became a revolutionary living in a lame ass world. They got me and him in the end with the Caine. I made it he didn’t. Love this leader of a Man. Who gone take his place?

[@brentfelder1737]

Gil Scott was a visionary, Artist.

[@allangarwood9931]

I was introduced to this brilliant artist back in 84 by my girlfriend of the time and I've been hooked to his music ever since. Just imagine what he would be writing and singing about today.

[@backtoafrika]

True soul brother ,I hear you in my dreams.......

[@matsnilsson565]

Even though GIL had his best years behind him. The years that would defined him as one, if not but top three of the most important musician regarding the best social conscious word spoken with some serious, SERIOUS funky groove ever. I love to see this man, no matter what state this legend are in (sorry for some baaad English).

[@ianedmonds9191]

Keep Fighting. Luv and Peace. He's gone now but we know the direction he sent us. Keep keeping on. More Luv and Peace

[@frankboyle1320]

Saw Gil 1st time at Chestnut Cabaret West Philly 1987. My girlfriend & I were the only white people in attendance. Gil blew us away!! He talked for 15 min.'s before he played any music & he was a riot!! Saw him 3 more times after that!! RIP Gil you live on through your music. Thanks for posting this gem from 94.

[@cdgreen7270]

Frank Boyle Never saw Gil Scott but loved his music. My first album of his was Pieces of a Man. Glad to hear you were a fan brother. RIP Gil Scott. You are missed.

[@frankboyle1320]

Cecil Green Thanks for the words. He was one talented man that just guessing here said screw mainstream. I'm going to do it my way. My 1st album was Winter In America. Also he was really very funny and intelligent on social issues which no doubt Where his passion in writing came out the most. That 1st show KO'D us for sure. Very much missed and remembered. PEACE!!!

I know, there were some who probably understood, but in 1994, activism had pretty much died out. I saw him in the late 70s and the early 80s, a whole different time.

Jazz is just Music unbridled or at least widened to some other rules. It also allows stepping out and potentially making new rules. Jazz is the freest form of Music. Go for it but stay somewhat in the lines. Let your ear guide you. It pushes forward. Luv and Peace.

[@jazzmanchgo]

I don't know what's more hearbreaking -- to be reminded, once agian, that Gil Scott-Heron is no longer with us (and to see how he was obviously in such tragic shape by this point), or to see all those jopyful people together, maskless and fearless, gathered in fellowship and celebration -- a world, a way of life, that I fear we may never see again.

Gave him a much-needed bath at the Doubletree, later kept the cops from busting him for his crack pipe. My major contribution to the cause.

1 Peter 5:5-9 [5]Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. [6]Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: [7]Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. [8]Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: [9]Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.

what a terrible audiance. Woodstock had alot of great artists, but Gil was different and one of the most under appreciated poets of the 20th and 21st centrury. Im 20 years old, about the the demographic of woodstock. Gils lyrics have resonated with me better then any other poet or artist. Im ranting, i want to keep his spirit alive. I wish i was able to see you live Gil.
