Live at Berkeley (also released as Nina Simone Live at Berkeley/Gifted & Black) is the tenth live album by jazz singer/pianist/songwriter Nina Simone. It was recorded at the University of California in Berkeley during the Third Annual Berkeley Jazz Festival in 1969. All arrangements were written by Simone, and it was produced by Jean-Luc Young.[1][2]

The album has also been released combined with a previous Nina Simone LP from the early 1970s, Gifted & Black (1970), which was released on her then husband/producer Andrew Stroud's record label.[3][4]

AllMusic[5]

In a review for AllMusic, Richard Mortifoglio commented on the 1970 album Live at Berkeley: " ... the Berkeley campus in the early '70s was such a hotbed of anti-Vietnam sentiment and the songs performed here, including "Ain't Got No/I Got Life" from HAIR, "Four Women," and the soon-to-be classic "To Be Young, Gifted & Black," partake of the political ferment that was in the air. They are not screeds, however; the band plays with a funky conga-propelled ease, and Simone is thoroughly in her element, relaxed and having fun as she gets her message across."[6]
