For Ry Cooder and John Hiatt Fans


Paris, France, 1980. Maybe some of you have seen this. I just discovered it, today:

Thanks for posting.  Been a huge Ry fan since I first heard him in the mid 70's.  I've only had one chance to see him live and that was at the Edmonton Folk Festival when he was touring as the guitarist for Ali Farka Toure.  Mr. Cooder just stayed in the background and played a lot of slide guitar, amongst other things.  Interesting performance.  Cheers.

I've never seen him live, to my regret. One of my all time favorite musicians, though. I think my favorite group of his was the one on teh album Showtime. 

In case you haven't seen this:

@stuartk I have watched that concert several times.  I like that it was well recorded in good definition.   Thanks.

I've caught John Hiatt several times (solo, combo, Lyle Lovett, Sonny Landreth), and was lucky enough to catch Ry once while touring with Ricky Scaggs. Both are American treasures.
