BB King – Archives Bonus Volume

here is the info file from Dime

My BB King archives bonus volume, Paris theatre Mogador 1980 april 8, aud SM master

Here’s an audience recording made 30 years ago; i think some few maniacs can be happy to hear this old and rare show.

It’s recorded from the balcony with a Sony TC 150 litle machine (internal mono mic probably used).

As the PA seemed to be disigned only for the floor, it sounds a bit distant, mainly for vocals; please listen to the samples.

Anyway, i think the 2 sets are interesting, several long tunes were played.

As long as i remember, i had to move during the encore because everybody around was standing up and may be the sound is less good.

01 1st set intro

02 I believe to my soul

03 Paying the cost to be the boss

04 When it all comes down

05 Let the good times roll

06 Night life

07 Band intro (including tape flip)

08 2d set intro – woke up this morning

09 Why i sing the blues

10 The thrill is gone

11 Instrumental – How blue can you get

12 Better not look down

13 Instrumental

14 Guess who (with BB monologue about Paris, Django, …) ended by tape flip.

15 When the Saints go marchin’ in – 2sd set outro

16 I just can’t leave your love alone

17 All over again
