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 CONCERT: 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" ("NAKED BUT NOT DEAD", 1979) TO THE FINAL NUMBER, THE DOORS" "SOUL KITCHEN".
