There are 4 parts in this disc: part 1: this recording has circulated in
several forms but only this version was lossless and in addition it contains a
2nd source for the last 2 tracks that shows that required the speed
to be decelerated by -4%.
They were
fade ins/outs between the first tracks, however the gaps have been upgraded and
some noises deleted. Note that the end of Knockers Step Forward is altered and the
track ends with a fade out.
The
line-up here
was: Mick Taylor on guitar, John Mayall on vocals, organ, piano, harmonica and guitar,
Keith Tillman on bass, Keef Hartley on drums, Chris Mercer on tenor sax, Dick
Heckstall-Smith on baritone sax
.
Concerning part 2, here John Mayall just plays harmonica and sings, the
track was merged as there were two versions, one coming directly from the INA
archives which also includes the short French intro by Pierrre Lattès and the
first second of the extract.
Part 3
has as
special guest
Al Sykes
on drums on one or more songs. Mick Taylor is rumored to have handed his guitar
temporarily over to Jimi Hendrix at this gig, but not on this track.
A one
channel gap
at 0.56 has
been corrected and a default and micro-gap at 10.47 were deleted. As for the
bonus, t
hese two tracks were at the end of the main version; they are also partial
and damaged but some parts are interesting. The first one,
Rising Sun, has been rebuilt as there
were lots of alterations, the better parts have been reconnected; the second
track Knockers Step Forward had also the end altered. Anyway the San Francisco
recording is remarkably good for its age.
