"The only live recording" from his last years??

[edit]

Removing this obviously erroneous statement:

It is the only official worldwide live release of Miles Davis' band from his final years

It might possibly be true if "from his final years" were changed to "released during the 1980s". The video and album Miles in Paris was taped in '89 and released in 1990, and the Live Around the World album contains a selection of live tracks from his last few years. There have been several other dvd sets and live cd's later on, notably from his run of shows at the Montreux Jazz Festival where he performed very year post his comeback. The phrasing above is vague in a way bordering on the deliberately misleading (weasel words); it's very easy to read it as stating that there are no other live recordings by Miles taped during his last ten years that have seen a legal release (obviously not true, as consulting any discography updated after the mid-nineties will show) but even if it is read as "the only late live album or extended video that was released before Davis died in 1991, and has been generally available around the world" it's not true - Miles in Paris came around in 1990 and has been made available on all major markets.
