Sharon Jones @ Beacon Theater: Sweet Jesus!
Cheers were at a fever pitch all evening long but they surely reached their peak during the set-closing, '100 Days, 100 Nights'. Of which, Sharon simply introduced as 'a song about myself'. For an encore, she tore through James Brown's classic track, 'It's A Man's World', and even spent some time at the piano for a tender and passionate version of 'Answer Me'.
As someone who has only recently discovered Sharon's brilliance (shame on me), I left the gig aching for another opportunity to live it all over again. Europeans, mark this one down with a big gold star on your calendars - view all of her upcoming UK dates (in April) here.

Sharon Jones is a woman among girls. I wasn't sure I'd dig it....but I really dug it. I posted a review of her Louisville, KY show with loads of photos at Backseat Sandbar.
