Bettye LaVette - Blackpool International Soul Festival, Winter Gardens, Blackpool, Britain, 6-22-2024

Posted by on
Here's a really interesting concert by Bettye LaVette. I'm not totally certain, but I think it may be the only one like it she's ever done in her long career. In short, in this concert, she ONLY performed songs from the 1960s phase of her career.

As I've explained in other posts, LaVette pretty much had two music careers. She was a decently popular soul singer in the 1960s, but that career petered out in the early 1970s. Then, in the early 2000s, she had a career revival that has kept going strong ever since then. She ended up being more popular as a senior citizen than she ever was when she was young. 

Generally speaking, since her career revival began, she's only played songs from her recent albums, with only a few exceptions. The biggest exception is "Let Me Down Easy," which she plays at all her concerts. It wasn't a big hit at the time, but it's grown to be considered a soul classic, and her signature song. I looked up her song stats at the setlist.fm database website, and it's pretty clear that she's never performed the vast majority of these songs in concerts ever, at least not since the 1960s. I don't know what inspired her to do this, but it's a pretty bold and challenging move, when she could have just rested on her laurels and played the same songs as usual. Keep in mind she was 79 years old at the time of this concert! Yet her voice was just as soulful as ever.

I found this concert on Bettye LaVette's YouTube page. It hasn't gotten much notice there, and I haven't seen mention of it anywhere else. I did my usual thing of converting the video to audio then chopping it into mp3s. I couldn't find a song list anywhere, so I had to figure out the song titles myself. I think I got most of them right. However, there are three in a row in the middle where I had to guess: "How Wonderful Love Is," "I'm High Off of Your Love," and "Storm Is Coming." If anyone knows the real titles, or can confirm if my guesses are right, I'd appreciate it.

The music here is unreleased. The sound quality on this is as good as typical soundboard or FM radio broadcast. 

This album is an hour and four minutes long.
