In June 1999, Willy DeVille toured through Europe and did, a.o., a show in Paradiso, Amsterdam.
After the show, Willy turned up in caf� 't Aepjen (like he had promised to do so before...) and just played there about an hour with the audience sometimes as backing vocals... .
It shows Willy not only as a special musician, but also as a great human being, no bla bla, no stardom, just a guy playing in a bar. An unique document of a man who's still missed very much.
On youtube you can find a short (about 14 minutes) movie of this special event (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qxZz1yrw3Y, but here's the whole "concert".
The story behind it all can be found here (in Dutch!): http://www.zeedijknieuws.nl/2009/12/
A while ago I found a cassettetape of this event, the quality was pretty bad, a lot of drop outs ,aso.
Some pretty long intro's, some talking, background noise aso, but I tried to restore it as good as I could and the result is here! The quality is what you might expect from a recording made bij a simple cassetterecorde, but it's a real must have for his fans!
Never been circulating before, an very unique performance of a great artist!!
