Ry Cooder & David Lindley
Grand Rex,
Paris, France
1990-07-04

Audience recording from master cassettes (1/ BASF Ferro C90, 2/ Memorex C60).
This cassette has slept almost 20 years in a shoe box on a shelf of my dear friend Patrick who recorded the show.

A very little bit of hiss but not disturbing, very bad volume fluctuations on Bourgeois blues, the beginning of the song is cut,
I have patched, on some parts of the song, the left channel by copying the right channel (or vice-versa) to repair some volume fluctuations, it's far from perfect but better than the original recording.
I've done that twice on two small parts of Wolly Bully too.
Fade in and fade out added on the tape flips.
No other manipulations were done.

Except Bourgeois blues, a very nice recording, I rate it B/B+.

Recorded by Patrick C., transfered to CD and artwork by Eric.
