Melbourne 88 (2Cd)

Toward the end of his long career, Miles Davis paid his only visit down under, performing gigs in Adelaide, Sydney, and Melbourne. This superb set at the Melbourne Concert Hall on May 2, 1988, was broadcast on ABC-FM on his final night in Australia, and finds the great man focusing on his more recent material, as well as the immortal In A Silent Way. He also tackles tracks by Michael Jackson and Cyndi Lauper, backed by one of his very best bands. The complete broadcast is presented here in digitally remastered sound together with background notes and images.
