Ray Charles - What'd I Say - Olympia 2000 video free download

This concert at the Paris Olympia was supposed to be a very emotional and special for Ray Charles. It was his 70th birthday; and it was his first tour in this new millennium. That night, (November 22nd. 2000) Ray Charles was supposed to play with his "Big Band" but due to an air traffic controller's strike in Lisbon; the Band was stuck at the airport. So, Ray had only his drummer, a guitar player and a bass player for the performance. But the show wasn't cancelled. "Ray and His Trio" worked out a new show, set list and arrangements in the hotel room and came on stage late. The show went on, and what resulted, was a fantastic and a creative concert, with a rare emotion and sensibility.
