UMe premieres a 1969 homecoming show recorded in Augusta, Georgia by The Godfather of Soul and his smokin' band.  While select tracks from the show have been previously issued, this release marks its debut in full.  It's been newly mixed by engineer Peter A. Barker from the original multitracks.  Highlights include unreleased versions of Brown's then-current single "World" (performed here as a live vocal over the original backing track), "Give It Up Or Turnit A Loose," "Try Me" and even a cover of Blood, Sweat & Tears' "Spinning Wheel" plus extended versions of "There Was a Time" and "Mother Popcorn."
