"On Sunday 20. August 1972, the last day of the annual Watts summer festival, the Wattstax Benefit Concert took place at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. With six hours of music performed by the very best of the Stax label's roster (...), it was not only one of soul music's biggest but also greatest live shows ... Marking the 50th anniversary of [the] 'Wattstax: The Living Word' [soundtrack] is a slew of reissues ... [One pick] of the bunch is 'Wattstax: The Complete Concert' ... [The six CD set] include a 76-page book and you get the whole shebang plus speeches including Jesse Jackson's 'I Am Somebody'".
