“Paris Bataclan 11.12.79” is a recently recovered recording of the Steve Hillage Band from 11th December 1979 at the famous Bataclan, Paris.
The album documents a sparkling and joyous performance from one of the 20th Century’s guitar greats and his band: Miquette Giraudy – synthesiser, vocals; Andy Anderson – drums; Paul Francis – bass, vocals; Dave Stewart – guitar.
Starting with the only version in Steve’s archive of a live performance of Earthrise, the lovingly remastered tapes include never-before-heard versions of 19 classic SH tracks.
“The level of musical performance is pretty astonishing, and my lead guitar performance is definitely at a peak – totally scorching in places.” – Steve Hillage
