Comments: "This is a great show from the early years of the AEC during their residence in Europe.
They stayed near Paris for two years and travelled trough the old continent by van.
In an Interview Lester told me that they felt like gypsies, going wherever they liked
and having lots of gigs. i have no idea about the lineage but the sound is quite good."
