One of the foremost singer-songwriters of his generation, Gil Scott-Heron was a committed civil rights activist that also wrote a couple of unusual novels exploring negative elements of the black experience. Anyone that had the pleasure of seeing Scott-Heron and His Amnesia Express band during the mid-1980s is unlikely to forget it, as evidenced by these stunning excerpts from the summer ’86 tour, with ‘Winter In America’, ‘Johannesburg’, ‘Blue Collar’, and ‘Shut ‘Em Down’ being among the standouts.
