Love with Paul Shaffer (Images by Matthew Rettenmund)
The concept of a musical performance being magical is a cliché, but there is something otherworldly about a Darlene Love concert.
Her pipes are transcendent, she channels gospel as if calling the angels and she looks like no 80-year-old woman you've ever seen, challenging doubts about man's ability to time-travel. For all the world, it feels like the '60s when Love channels them, making an evening with her feel like witnessing a link to the past, to how music sounded, was played, was sung.
And yet she is very much in the now, enjoying herself and enjoying touching you with her blessed instrument.
