Hi @wilsonpossible, sadly there's no video footage of Nina's performance at Westbury that year. There's also very, very few photos of her from that concert.

Reelin' In The Years uploaded this to their channel many years back but has since removed it. I was able to download it before they deleted it, not sure if there's additional footage from this show but if so hopefully it surfaces!

Agreed, it's wonderful to have the full version, especially without the watermark. I've had the first and last verses on video for many years but never saw it in its entirety until quite recently.

Welcome, @mojo1!

There are two versions of "Wild Is The Wind," one is about 7 mins long (the official album recording - where she begins by saying "love me" three times) and the other is about 3 1/2 mins long (she begins by saying "love me" twice). I'm not sure if the shorter one was actually recorded live but...

AFAIK, there are no other instances of Nina performing or recording "Feeling Good" other than the album version. It's a song that didn't gain much traction while she was still alive. I've never come across an instance of her even mentioning the song.

Here's the video without the watermark, thanks to Sylvie:

Recently purchased this bust of Nina from silaii.com and received it yesterday. Very happy with it. The photos on the website don't really do it justice. In person it looks much more like Nina than the photos from the website might suggest. https://www.silaii.com/products/nina-simone-sculpture
