Al Green - Capitol Theater, Port Chester, NY, 10-25-2012

Here's an Al Green concert from 2012. It's part of the Capitol Theatre in Port Chester mono soundboard leak that happened in April 2026. So the sound quality is excellent here, and the performance is very good as well. 

In my opinion, Al Green is out of the greats of soul music. He had a really great run for most of the 1970s. But after that, he disappeared from popular music for a long time, due to him becoming a preacher and putting out a bunch of gospel albums. He slowly got back to secular music, and released three well received secular albums between 2003 and 2008 (and no new material since then). Still, he's kept a relatively low profile since the 1970s.

I've been hesitant to post any post-1970s Al Green concerts because even though he's mostly gone back to performing his 1970s soul hits, he still does some religious material. That's not to appealing to a hopeless heathen like myself. But luckily, on this concert, he kept that to two songs, "Amazing Grace" and "Nearer My God to Thee," and both of those are perfectly fine songs, in my book.

The song list below is a bit misleading. It shows him doing a whole run of classic soul songs, from "I Can't Help Myself (Sugar Pie Honey Bunch)" to "You Are Everything." But don't get too excited, because actually, all of those are just snippets, usually only about 15 to 20 seconds long. However, all the other songs here are full length, including an unexpected cover of Roy Orbison's "Oh, Pretty Woman" earlier in the concert.  

This album is an hour and 15 minutes long.
