So y’all know D’Angelo’s back, right? How many of you got the opportunity to sit jam at one of his European shows? Oh. Lucky bastard. Well, I didn’t, so I’ve been recreating the concerts in my living room, thanks to this available download of his FULL concert in Paris. Yes, it’s the whole damn thang. Really. Peep the tracklisting:

01. Playa Playa
02. Feel Like Makin’ Love [Roberta Flack cover]
03. Ain’t That Easy [new song]
04. Devil’s Pie
05. Chicken Grease
06. The Line (intro) > The Root
07. The Charade [new song]
08. I’ve Been Watching You (Move Your Sexy Body) [Parliament cover]
09. Shit, Damn, Motherfucker (inc. bass & drum solo)
10. Solo medley: Brown Sugar (tease) > Jonz In My Bonz > Spanish Joint > Me and Those Dreamin’ Eyes of Mine > Cruisin’ > Higher > One Mo’Gin > Untitled (How Does It Feel)

Guess Who’s Back??: D’Angelo Shows Out in Stockholm

After many years of lingering anticipation, neo soul trailblazer D’Angelo has finally returned.  And he’s showing up and showing out like he’s never left.  R&B Jesus is currently touring 11 cities in Europe and, judging from the footage, KILLING each inch of the stage.

What I found below…jammin’.  D’Angelo converts the classic “Brown Sugar” into a funked out jam session riddled in Prince/Morris Day & The Time-inspiration.  I was about to hit “The Bird” and everythang.

I’m looking forward to when he makes it back to the States.  I don’t know about y’all, but I’ve been waiting for 12 years for the resurrection of R&B Soul.
