When did the Friendly Ghosts play Paris?

This is a pretty cool clip!

I don't have the exact date but, as they say, We'll always have Paris!

Second time watching this but this time I paid a lot better attention. It is really a treat to see you perform since I have never had the opportunity to see you play on stage. You are as good on the harmonica as anyone I have ever heard before, live or otherwise. You jam hard on the guitar. And don't even get me started on your voice - it is totally unique and just exquisite. When are you going to perform next? I would travel a long way to see you!

By the way, is the "sweetheart" referred to related to motorcycle girl? Does this song follow that one in time? Maybe right after that "splash" where she hits the water? Curious if there is some connection there? Do you still play with that 16mm cam? Would love to see more of that stuff too!

Kick Ass!!!
