Captured live on May 7, 1999, as part of a Free Speech Teach-In, the inestimable “Golden Voice of the Great Southwest” delivers 74 minutes of his trademark history, humor, song, and struggle. It’s a signature performance that reminds us that we still can be inspired, educated, and entertained while we “Don’t Mourn, Organize.”
