Before I Let Go came on when the Missy Elliott show ended and it was a nice fun singalong with the audience

RIP to a legend. Years ago my mom dragged me to one of his concerts. I didn't want to go but I was so grateful I attended because it was a great show and the audience was full of older Black women getting their lives.
