Paris, Bob Welch Paris Bob Welch/MI, USA 1976

The ultimate and extremely rare recording from the much-talked-about "JEMS Sound Source" is here! The hard rock trio formed by former Fleetwood Mac member Bob Welch and Jethro Tull's Glenn Cornick performed in Detroit on October 5, 1976, and the performance is recorded in master quality and audience recording for 36 minutes. It is from the tour promoting the second album "Big Towne, 2061", and although the performance time is short because it was an opening performance, the unique direction and original performance full of sense are a storm of listening to the whole volume. In contrast to the first album, which entertained us with solid rock influenced by Zeppelin, the second album had a stronger funk sound, and its charm is reproduced with a realistic live performance. The opening is Heart Of Stone from the second album, and the strange match of soulful groove and hard rock style guitar is irresistible. The second song is also from their second album, Blue Robin, and they present a solid melodic funk rock. As with the album, Pale Horse, Pale Rider and Big Towne, 2061 feature the use of synthesizers as an important instrument, which is unusual for this kind of authentic band arrangement. The drummer is Hunt Sales, who also participated in the recording of the second album and worked with Todd Rundgren, and he leads the whole band with his stable and powerful playing. The unique groove of the funk bass in the second half of Money Love condenses the charm of Paris at this time. The last encore is Nazarene from the first album, which is almost like Zeppelin. Although it was a short-lived band with only two albums and a year and a half of activity, Paris' rare live performance is still highly acclaimed for its original charm! 1. Heart Of Stone 2.
