There's a studio version of this on "Live At Birdland"

Beyond the technical limitations of the day, this video reveals Coltrane's and his legendary quartet's remarkable abilities to gel with each other; carefully listening, following where others may go. Coltrane, a deeply spiritual man, spoke from his soul on this following the Birmingham church bombing of four girls. Truly a fitting memorial.

Coltrane spent long hours, daily, on his intonation. His practice sessions, alone, focused on tonal quality, chords that included the piano range, creating different insights into chordal structures, writing/composing and rehearsing, at times, with his group. He said, as did McCoy Tyner in a recent interview I conducted with him, that the shows were most like rehearsals as he was constantly searching for "that sound."

this is such a sad song

I love this, there's such a sense of tragedy and loss in the non-tempo first couple of minutes. For more 'interpretations' via music of MLK speeches I can heartily recommend Denys Baptiste's "Let Freedom Ring" album, which actually contains the lost chord. Twice

They do, you moron. You have to pay close attention if you're listening to a song with both to know who's playing.

they sound alike? are you stupid?

words are not needed for this.. You can feel the different kinds of emotion throughout the music, it just speaks to you. The saying your actions speak louder than your words. It's true..

Coltrane still has a massive influence on tenor saxplayers all over the world. BUT: his sound is lousy. He did not have the muscial ear for intonation. This he compensated with innovation and technique. Too bad for him. He once stated about Stan Getz' wonderful sax sound "We would all play like Getz if we only could".
