Erykah Badu: Sasquatch! Music Festival Day 3 performance



A very different version of Erykah's 'Apple Tree.' Filmed at the Gorge Amphitheatre in Quincy, Washington May 25. Sasquatch! Music Festival is mostly an alternative music fest. I'm glad to see Ms. Badu on such an eclectic bill along side acts like Grizzly Bear, Silver Sun Pickups, Gogol Bordello and Santo Gold.
