The show from June 4 1976 is one of my favourite of the tour.

Anyone know why DAC has released DAC-046 "Pavillon de Paris" and a few times later DAC-127 "From Paris to Toronto" ?

I don't hear a real difference between the two but I guess there's a reason to have it released twice in such a short time.

PS : is there a review somewhere about the Paris concerts of 1976 ?

A bit of info that came with the original torrent for the 1st gen tape of the June 4 show :

"Here is what [Dime member] LETSGO said about the taper Gilbert D : "(he) was a french bootleger who did hell of a job mainly in Paris in the 70's.

He refused to do any trades so, sometimes, I accepted to pay for some stuff like (...)Neil Young 22 march 1976 or this Stones.
He did the masters audience tapes for the aud boots Paris la Villette 1976 series.
He was promoting his recordings under the Yan'Appa Records "label"(french joke)."

I can add that GD was rumored to have been busted because he sold his recordings through music magazines ads and appears to have disappeared from the tape trading world at the end of the 1980s".

And then, what relationship with my question ?

Do you mean than DAC-046 is taken from "Allright Charlie Watts" (DWP-001) and DAC-127 from LETSGO tape ?
If so, both seems to be taken from 1st generation tape...

Gilbert was quite a "character" : he would manage (how?) to sneak in a huge reel-to-reel recorder and a bunch of bulky AKG mikes in the venues. And to make sure he'd get great recordings he'd stick his mikes to a crutch and hold it in the air during the concert.

Take that, Mike Millard!

It seems quite likely he taped most (if not all) of the Paris gigs so the audience tape for the June 7 show (available on DAC-087) and the one shared by Cpt Acid a few years ago were Gilbert's.

Merci Gilbert!
