Additional comments:
Recorded at Vaison la Romaine, Theatre Antique, France on August 3, 1996. This is a NEW soundboard recording taken from master source so the sound is really excellent, as good as it can get! I'm The Fool is taken from the Polish radio broadcast so it has got some slight hiss. And Calling Elvis suffer from some slight distortion at the high volume parts, probably due to poor soundchecking before the concert. It is a complete concert, it even includes the music they played before the concert as well as interview before and after the concert and it also includes some of the talking between songs that was cut away on the master source to make it absolutely complete. This show includes the best versions of Calling Elvis and Water of Love ever performed. There exists no more complete recording with as good sound as this one of the Vaison concert. As a bonus I have also included an audience recording of the songs MK and his band played the day before, on August 2, 1996, same location. They had to cancel that concert after a couple of songs because of the bad weather, it was raining a lot, and it is also included as a bonus the unique Dire Straits performance of Six Blade Knife live in 1985, Yoguslavia.
