Different than the official record, but another very inspired concert
Great find! Is this the same concert with more tracks, or a different night at the Teatro Real, or a different concert altogether? Also weird that the set list order is jumbled up, I thought the first half would have been solo and the second half duets. He must have played more tracks at the original concert than the 8 on the disc - should have been a double!
The truth is PACO did a lot of concerts so this could actually be from a different venue. The audience actually sounds fake to me. The sound is clearly off the soundboard with the low end cut out. Both audience and Ramon would be bleeding through the mic, so that audience would never sound so present. The album that was released in 1975 was an ambient recording hence the audience noise and the wooly guitar tone. I read Paco also played Rondeña and buleria both suffered tuning problems and were omitted. No film exists, there was a clip in Francisco Sanchez but it is not Teatro Real with the pipe organ, so different venue and guitar.
Someone claims this to be at the actual Teatro Real, but as far as bootlegs go people keep and trade things and as it passes through hands over time the original info is lost. That is way the commercial Industry was always against bootlegging, not for loss of sales but lack of control over the artistic product. The sequence of the show is also suspect, he would always start solo then add Ramon after an intermission. Could even be more than one concert therefore. Finally, the Almoraima material is a bit fresh compared to the rest, meaning it might even be from 1976. Regardless it IS representative of what paco was doing at the time Teatro Real made a big splash in Spain, and the performance he gives whatever or wherever it was is great.
