In this volume we get the 2nd show from New
York in late March 90; t
he line-up was: Mick Taylor on guitar and vocals, Blondie Chaplin on guitar
and vocals, Joel Diamond on keyboards, Wilbur Bascomb on bass and Eric Parker
on drums with guest Jon Paris on harmonica and vocals on the last three songs.
Two
versions derived from the same source were already circulating. Here the first
one was used because it has a better sound and it’s more complete than the
other one (it contains Can’t You Hear Me Knocking) but it also misses the end
of Little Red Rooster and the beginning of
Laundromat Blues). These
sequences however are present in the Maidenlane recording!
So, it was decided to post the reworked version of Maidenlane recording and
also the result of both sources combined.
All
recordings have been edited,
de-clicked and both channels rebalanced and synchronized.
Disc One:
‘bluesy’ tuning
(until 3’30 solely the previous version then the mix)
04 -
Semolina (last seconds solely from Mdl)
Disc Two:
01 - Laundromat
Blues (first 14 seconds & some seconds in the end coming solely from Mdl)
02 - Little
Red Rooster (1’15 in the end solely from Mdl)
04 - Can't
You Hear Me Knocking*
* ‘Can’t You Hear Me Knocking’ was a real puzzle. Because of the length of
this version (around 26 minutes) both tapers probably got surprised and their
tape was too short to record the track in its entirety. Maidenlane has his tape
flip at 10’35 and the taper of the previous version at 14’16. All segments have
been reconnected in this combined version and here we find the complete track
now!
Here the details:
part
1:
0 to 10’35: both sources
Part 2:
10’35 to 12’15 solely the previous recording
Part 3:
12’35 to 14’16 both sources
Part 4:
14’16 to 15’05 solely Maidenlane recording
Part 5:
15’05 to the end both sources
Since both versions (mixed and merged) came up great it
has been decided to post them both, but due to their length this will be in two
separate volumes. However, this version is really great sounding and
presents
fantastic document of that
concert.
