Richie Havens – Freedom

Richie Havens stood up when the crowd needed him and rocked the house for a considerable time, performing almost all of his songs. At the cusp of exhaustion, a bit of energy flared within Haven, and he belted out a freedom anthem for the ages.

The unknown newcomer was asked to rock the stage for three hours, just enough time for the other artists to reach the venue. The crowd loved his energy; he mustered through his set and became one of the event’s highlights. Even after hours of playing his guitar, he kept strumming the same fast-paced consistent beat “Freedom” is known for.
