Mink DeVille at Torhout/Werchter 1980 & 1982
Rock Werchter Belgium, July 6, 1980 [photo's: Philippe Carly]
TORHOUT/WERCHTER
Rock Werchter is an annual music festival in the village of Werchter in Belgium since 1974. The 2003, 2005, 2006 and 2007 festivals received the Arthur award for best festival in the world at International Live Music Conference (ILMC). Since 2003 the Werchter has become a 4-day festival, as it was sold by owner Herman Schueremans to American organizers Live Nation.
HISTORY
The festival started in 1974 as a one-day festival with performances from Banzai and Kandahar. Over the years it became Belgium's largest music festival. Originally it was a double-festival, called "Torhout-Werchter", with two festival areas on different places in Belgium: one in Werchter and one in Torhout. In 1999, the festival dropped the Torhout site and since, it only takes place in Werchter. The festival started off as a one-day event, became a two-day festival in 1996, went on to become a 3-day festival in 1999, and has been a 4-day festival since 2003.
1980 Festival Performers included: Jo Lemaire & Flouze - Kevin Ayers - The Blues Band - Mink DeVille - Fischer-Z - The Specials - The Kinks
1982 Festival Performers included: Allez Allez - The Members - U2 - Steve Miller Band - Mink DeVille - Tom Tom Club - Talking Heads - Jackson Browne (Torhout 24.000 visitors; Werchter 40.000 visitors)

October 3, 2010. Paul James tells his story exclusively to DeVille International Fans .
I am still performing and writing and leading my own band. I live in Toronto, Canada, The rehearsal for the show at BB Kings was a week before the show. I would have had to fly to New York and get accommodations for a week to do it and cancel some shows that I had with the Paul James Band. There was no budget and too expensive. I would have loved to be there. If I lived in New York I would have been there for sure...
I first heard Mink DeVille in 1977. They came out of the 'New Wave' and punk scene from NYC. I thought most of the punk bands had lots of attitude but were not very good musically. Mink DeVille stood out to me. I thought they were the best band to come out of New York at that time. I even started playing' Cadillac Walk 'and 'She's so Though' with my own band. I saw the Mink DeVille band the first time they came to Toronto and thought they were great live... They played a club called 'The Edge'. I just watched the show, I did not meet Willy or Toots.. yet.. I met Willy and Toots in Toronto. They called me and asked me to come to their hotel room after Willy's show at the El Mocambo in 1982 and bring a guitar. I think a lot of people told them about me and that they might like me musically. I was playing that night with my own band so I could not go to his show, however, I went to the hotel Willy & Toots were staying at and brought my acoustic guitar, harmonica rack, and slide. I played and sang some old blues songs, and slide guitar for them and we passed the guitar back and forth and talked about music all night. When I was leaving, Willy said if he ever needed a guitar player he would call me.
About two months after that, I got a call from him. He wanted me to come to New York City as soon as possible. He wanted me to play guitar on a recording session of the song "Stand By Me", at the 'Power Station', recording studio in NYC. Then I was to rehearse with the band a few times and go on tour for two months, playing in eleven counties in Europe.
I bought a plane ticket for New York. Toots and Willy had an apartment on 5th Avenue in Manhattan, near Greenwich Village. I stayed with them for three weeks sleeping on the a couch in the living room. I learned all the Mink DeVille songs that we were going to play on the tour. On the recording session, I played two guitar parts. There is a tremolo guitar that matches the bass line and I chorded and strummed a nylon string guitar Mexican style for "Stand By Me". Willy took me with him when he did the lead vocal track, and a couple more times when the 'Soul Inspirations', added the backup vocals, and when percussion and strings were added. It was very interesting to watch him work. We hung out together, went to Movies, and clubs and into the village every night because we were right within walking distance. Willy and Toots didn't have a television at that time!
Like Willy I write songs, play guitar, sing, and I am an entertainer. I am not really a sideman like most of the great musicians of Willy's bands. However, I would never turn down an opportunity to back up such talented people as Willy DeVille, Bo Diddley, John Hammond, Lightning Hopkins, Sunnyland Slim, or Bob Dylan. I learned to be a better writer, singer, musician, and entertainer, by playing with them. Just as Willy became a better writer after working with Doc Pomus and Jack Nitzsche.

I lived with Toots and Willy for three weeks in New York and we were very close for the two month tour of Europe. After it was over I went back to Toronto and recorded my first solo independent album "Almost Crazy". I wrote many songs while I was on tour with Mink DeVille. I started touring all over Canada with my own band. Willy tried to help me get some work in New York with my own band and I stayed with Willy and Toots a few times when I visited New York. He took me around to meet some of the club owners in Manhattan. When their marriage fell apart I didn't visit them in New York any more. That was sad. I remained friends with Willy only talking on the phone maybe once a year and we would talk about what we were doing musically. I got him together with John Hammond, a great blues singer, who I played guitar for many times. In the early 1990's Willy had asked me to back him up with my band in Toronto. He wanted to play a lot of Chicago blues. Muddy Waters , Howling Wolf, Jr. Wells, Elmore James, and of course some Ben E. King. He wanted to play more slide guitar and hand held harmonica. So I opened the show with my band and then backed Willy up on the blues set. Before Willy passed away I talked to John Hammond and gave Willy his number and they got together again and Willy and I talked about him coming to do a show in Toronto, Canada again, however, he got sick and it never happened.
It's wonderful to see some of the video footage from that tour of 1982 magically emerge, after 28 years.. So much of the video footage I am seeing for the first time! It brings me and my spirit back to that whole wonderful, magical time when we were running round the streets of New York City and 29 years old! Willy was in his prime and the band looked Fantastic. Hot, tough, and romantic, like the Sharks in 'West Side Story' on dance night, and like every one of his bands was great when performing live!
Thank you for keeping his spirit alive!
Bluesfully Yours,
Paul James
