    I listened to this during the morning, and really enjoyed it. I have to say I am particularly keen on Pullen when he pulls together all his different influences in this way. There are times one forgets this is just one player, so orchestral is his playing.

    If only we could get rid of the unison clapping on Big Alice it would be one of Pullen's strongest solo recordings.

    riccardo, you have shared so many great live recordings with us, but this may be the best. Many many thanks.

    Thank You (Yet Again) for this solo Don Pullen European concert! This seems to be a short 'greatest hits' type performance with all pieces in the 10 min. range.
    Like the wonderful Milan '78 solo Pullen tape posted here, i believe this is an audience recording--really close & outstanding sounding though!!--and also the pitch seems to be a bit off: running too slow somewhat. Listen to Don's "thank you" after Richard's Tune: his voice sounds much lower and 'rougher' than usual. (Don was from the south of the U.S. and had a distinctive southern dialect to his speech). A shame too that all between song time has been cut(?) too. Still an essential and fantastic live document! -dandor

    After a close listen, it is definitely an audience recording (Bravo to the recordist!), and when a speed correction of +3.0% applied is a recital of rhythmic sound delight!

    As "Wallofsound" said: "Big Alice it would be one of Pullen's strongest solo recordings.

    riccardo, you have shared so many great live recordings with us, but this may be the best. Many many thanks."

    A lovely accompaniment to the live solo /78 Milan! -dandor

    Thanks. Somehow missed this back when and it appears Part 2 is long vanished (though part one remains). Can anyone help?

    Many thanks Sotise. Note to anyone in the future that the new link is the entirety in one file.

    I've always enjoyed DP though only got to see him once in person (with the Afro-Brazilian thing he wound up with at the end of his time). These vintage relics are quite wonderful. So glad some were documented.
