2nd Album Personnel :

Roughly the same people played on these albums (actually both were recorded together, with a third one which hopefully will be released mid 1999).

I had taken the 2nd album booklet with me to the Paris show, hoping maybe Bill would sign it for me ;-), and I can't find it since (and he didn't sign it...).

Whenever I get it, or if anybody sends me the info, I'll post here the complete personnel list.

Maybe I should just mention that Mick Taylor plays a small (but good) slide guitar part on "A True Romance"...

The Setlist :

Anyway The Wind Blows
Spooky
Walking One & Only
Mojo Boogie
Too Late
Every Sixty Seconds
Ring My Bell
Days Like This
He's A Real Gone Guy
A True Romance
Gee Baby Ain't It Good To You
When Hollywood Goes Black & Tan
Crazy He Calls Me
Struttin' Our Stuff

More on these when I get time (soon, hopefully).

All I can say now is that I bought both, and they're worth every penny, or in my case every centime, though these were some of the most expensive CDs I bought this year... Bill, any reason for this ?
