Captured live in Berkeley, California on January 16, 1978, Gil Scott-Heron and the Midnight Band - Berkeley 1978 offers a rare glimpse into one of spoken word and soul music's most vital artists performing at the height of his powers. The setlist features some of Scott-Heron's most celebrated material, including "The Bottle," "Johannesburg," and "Home Is Where the Hatred Is."

As a bootleg recording from 1978, this release carries the raw, unpolished character that live document collectors seek out — an authentic snapshot of a legendary live act rather than a studio-polished artifact. For fans and collectors of Gil Scott-Heron, this import vinyl represents a piece of music history, preserving a moment from an artist whose influence on jazz, soul, and spoken word remains immeasurable.
