That was the first show in Paris for Eric Andersen in a 40 years career, a kind of historic moment !
So people came from everywhere and nowhere for this concert and the little hall of la Pomme d'Eve was filled with an enthusiastic crowd.
Can you imagine, at least one hundred people in a room where only 80 persons can stand ! :-)))

When Eric saw the cellar of "la Pomme d'Eve" and its pretty good sound, he decided to play totally unplugged so all our hopes of a soundboard recording flew away.
Fortunately, Pierre make this very good audience recording with his Fostex recorder to keep a trace of this very special day.

During the break between the 2 sets, Elliott Murphy came in for a little visit and to salute his buddy, the picture is in the artwork....

Although the recording is very good, it's an audience one with people talking a little bit and glasses noise and so on... but the audience was very respectful and made silence during the songs, as Eric said during the show 'its quiet as a churh...'.
Also, It was on the early days of July and the weather was very warm in Paris, so you can hear, from time to time, the air-conditioner in the background.

You know all the story of this recording, so now it's up to you, take it or leave it.... :-)
