Three Miles Down
Re-Ron
Winter In America
The Bottle
Blue Collar
Johannesburg
Alien (hold onto your dreams)
Save The Children
Washington D.C.
Shut'em Down
Whitey On The Moon
B Movie
The Revolution Will Not Be Televised
Angel Dust
Vanglorious... this is protected by the red, the black, and the green. With a key... sissy!

the DVD is a 2002 release, a rather old concert from his vast European tour around 1990, official title: "Gil Scott Heron and his Amnesia Express - Tales Of Gil"

but careful: my fave-track list from up above is NOT the DVD tracklisting, this is a bit shorter - sadly!

Three miles down
We almost lost Detroit
Angel Dust
Winter in America
Johannesburg
The Bottle

(running time: 62 minutes)

I'm familiar with some of his music, and He certainly deserves some respect for is music acumen. I wonder why no one has mentioned Pieces of a MAN? I,ll have to lisen to the albums I have of his to namecheck any more favorite songs.
