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.

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.

  • Thanx, please read my post of 5 days ago!!!

  • Duh! :-)

  • Ry doesn't seem to tour so much these days, I know David Lindley has stopped overseas touring except perhaps with Jackson Brown, all the good ones are becoming stay at homes. I know Ry Cooder has a new double album to promote and there is a DVD that has been released perhaps he'll come to Australia for a short tour.Keep wishing.

  • Ry is touring Europe this month with Nick Lowe and his son Joachim Cooder. Very good reviews - look them up!

  • ja, det swinger - godt set!

  • What a song!

  • This is the first time I've heard Ry Cooter & he's good!

  • "On fire" is exactly what they is!!!

  • @Rikk303

    And that "undeserved windfall" would be what? Cooder has been playing blues for a bunch of years and millions of people have recognized his talent and innovation, so what is it that you find so distasteful about him? FWIW, I don't like some of his stuff, but whether you like his style or not, he's a damn talented musician.

  • Faszinierende Persönlichkeit und ein absolutes Musikgenie gepaart mit sehr viel Sensivität!!! WOW!!! Ich könnte diesem Kerl Tag und Nacht zuhören....tu ich zuweilen auch :-)....He the best ever! und ich hoffe sehr auf eine baldige Tour durch Deutschland mit Stopp in Stuttgart!

  • A master at work here ! Thank you for posting mbroders.

  • @gripguy41 the same way as I do when any jerk-off gets an undeserved windfall

  • @shazbot9000 The Balinese play some fine soulful music albeit a little less hysterical

  • @Rikk303

    How do you feel when no-talent black guys try to act rich?

  • I feel fortunate to having seen this tour when they played Wolfgangs in SF. Went both nights. I have pictures to prove it!
