Ry Cooder 1982 “SLIDE AREA WORLD TOUR” recorded two shows in Amsterdam, Holland on May 7 and 9.
The first half of the disc features the performance on May 7, recorded in its entirety with superb audience recording. The second half of the disc contains 8 songs from the radio broadcast soundboard with highlights from the 9th show starting from the 5th song on disc 2.
The tour lineup for this period includes the talented keyboardist William D. Smith from New Orleans, Jim Keltner on drums, and three members of the backing chorus. This is a highly recommended title as a must-hear live recording from Ry Cooder's 1982 tour!
