Comment:

Just about all of us who aren't of retirement age missed Soulsville's legendary roster of superstars back in their prime. So, while we wait for the Wayback Machine to be perfected, we went ahead and assembled the greatest Stax fantasy concert of all time. [i]Live In Europe[/i], taken from 1967's Stax/Volt Revue dates, was the last album Otis Redding would live to see released, and he absolutely [i]toys[/i] with the audience, stutter-stopping "I've Been Loving You Too Long (To Stop Now)" à la James Brown — with applause at every pause — before delivering a head-back, hall-filling marvel of pure soul satisfaction. Five years later, [i]Wattstax[/i], a celebration of Black Pride that some called "the black Woodstock," packed the Los Angeles Coliseum with more than 100,000 fans — at a buck per ticket. Isaac Hayes, looking like a Nubian [i]god[/i] clad in gold chains, rumbles the sky with tender thunder in "I Stand Accused," and the Staple Singers finish the job, tearing the heavens wide open with a show-stopping version of their express ticket to ecstasy, "I'll Take You There." And there's more — lots more — in our all-access pass to the most amazing Stax soul spectacular we only [i]wish[/i] existed.
