The Catalyst, Santa Cruz, CA, Mar 25, 1987

This pro-shot live recording captures Ry Cooder's 1980s—a period marked by his exploration of soundtracks, collaborations with other musicians, and a leaning towards world music, contrasting with the somewhat laid-back releases of his original albums. 1987 saw the release of Ry Cooder's first album under his own name, 'Get Rhythm,' a time when Cooder and his band, having honed their skills through various experiences, were brimming with confidence and delivering a truly fulfilling live performance. The recording is filled with fantastic performances!
