Jesse Colin Young: Out of the Darkness
Jesse Colin Young's career is best defined by his recording of " Get Together" with the Folk Rock band the Youngbloods. This one song pivoted him to the stadium and outdoor concert scene in 1969 while he toured with greats like Led Zepplin, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, The Allman Brothers , Janis Joplin, The Doors and many more. His career spans 50 years. This 2015 concert is Jesse's way of giving back to USA Veterans and supporting an new project called Saratoga WarHorse that has successfully served vetrans from all wars who suffer from debilitating PTSD. Jesse is joined by Juilliard 's master musician's, Charles Yang and Peter Dugan. The film covers all of Jesse's songs that were performed live that night and additional interviews from folks who participated in the making of this historic event. In that one concert night $250, 000 was raised for the Saratoga WarHorse program for our veterans.
