Steve Hillage

Paris Bataclan 11.12.79

£14.99

Released: 23rd February 2024. Addressing the audience in French throughout, ‘Paris Bataclan 11.12.79’ documents a sparkling & joyous performance from one of the 20th Century’s guitar greats & 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 crystal clear & lovingly remastered tapes include never-before-heard versions of 19 tracks including ‘The Fire Inside’, ‘1988 Aktivator’, ‘The Glorious Om Riff’, ‘The Salmon Song’ & ‘Unidentified (Flying Being)’. With outstanding musicianship & songs sounding as fresh as the day they were played, these recordings plant you in the heart of the crowd - it’s right up there with the best live releases from Steve Hillage. In Steve’s own words, “The level of musical performance is pretty astonishing & my lead guitar performance is definitely at a peak – totally scorching in places.” The 100-minutes of music on ‘Paris Bataclan 11.12.79’ is presented in a 2CD, 6 panel digipack with 12-page booklet including liner notes from Steve &  previously unseen photography.
