Description

In 1982, New York’s most moving band - Mink DeVille - performed at the prestigious Montreux Jazz Festival. By the time the band took the stage at Montreux, Mink DeVille had four albums to their name. More importantly, frontman Willy DeVille had established himself as one of New York’s most singularly idiosyncratic singers. “Live At Montreux 1982” captures a show as inspiring and intriguing as its performer: Willy DeVille in front of a won-over crowd, skillfully backed by his band, brought a little Spanish temperament and a lot of American pop culture to the stage. This sweat-soaked 16-song set, captured in high definition, comes in a CD + DVD Digipak edition running a little over an hour, with DeVille classics such as “Spanish Stroll,” “Savoir Faire” and “Mixed Up, Shook Up Girl” plus their cover of Ben E King’s all-time hit “Stand By Me” - a true must-have for all DeVille fans.
