John Legend At Austin City Limits Festival Recap With Videos, Photos and Show Review

This is what Austin American Statesman's correspondent John T. Davis said about John Legend's rare Austin, TX appearance at Zilker Park Friday October 2:

This correspondent, for one, was curious to see how John Legend’s boudoir-friendly R&B/neo-soul translated to the cowboy-hatted al fresco environment of ACL. Seems I wasn’t the only one.

‘I know you don’t get a lot of R&B acts here,’ Legend said toward the end of his hour long set. ‘But I feel very much at home tonight.’

Certainly he made himself at home. Legend began his set standing on a box in the middle of the runway between the stage and sound board, serenading the rapturous crowd with a heartfelt version of Bob Marley’s ‘Redemption Song.’
