From "Ry Cooder & The Moula Banda Rhythm Aces: Let's Have A Ball", a film by Les Blank taped at The Catalyst, Santa Cruz, CA on March 25'th 1987. Very beautiful slide.

Comment from MrBillindallas:
Concert was from a two night run - the last of nine total dates on the NorCal tour. Shot on 16mm film with an audio remote truck in the alley. Movie was released in Europe but not in the US. Great band, at one of the best venues in the 'States, the last two nights of the mini-tour they were truly on fire. One venue was so small the band filled the stage and the dance floor.

    stop feeling sorry for yourself. Maybe if you didn't waste all your time on YouTube..and instead you could be doing something productive..like volunteering and community service..actually helping people.. Wall street, the Banks & GWB and his deregulation of financial system and illegal war in Iraq all but destroyed this country. You try turning a steaming pile of shit into roses with congress against you. They would rather destroy the nation than tolerate a black president..they are the problem

    having a Black President does not bother me at all and I am from the south! I just do not like his policies. Maybe someone can understand something other than race .. unless they are motivated by race hate!! COLOR of skin ... if that is the bases of your reply.... maybe you need to look at your reflection in a mirror!!

    obama was forced to bail out the banks after bush destroyed the economy. it was that or disaster. meanwhile, china built its infrastructure instead. wish we could have new trains and fixed roads&bridges

    Very true. Obama did, however, bail out the banks just like Gordon Brown and the rest of them, while actually having the opportunity to do something about when the banks were standing there, cap in hand.
