Ryder, Mitch: Live at Rockpalast (DVD)

The concert at the Grugahalle in Essen was a memorable night - the "famous full moon concert" was born. When Mitch finally arrived, carrying a half-empty bottle of Jack Daniels, he was completely and totally drunk, but what followed was a real event: Mitch gave his all and sung his heart out for the audience. The penetrating, impassioned cries of the soul searcher sent shivers right up our spines and deeply moved us, from "Ain't Nobody White Can Sing the Blues" to the final number, the Doors' "Soul Kitchen". Peter Rüchel, Rockpalast. Two full shows from 1979 and 2004.
