The review
This is a
new versions of the Bluesbreakers Florence show which was found thanks to gfr789,
this show never circulated before and it’s very good; proving to be a new gem
for every blues, Mick Taylor and John Mayall fan; few things needed to be done,
all tracks have been edited and reworked and some little problems have been
fixed like a little gap at 1’14 on Catfish Blues that was deleted, another
little gap between Catfish Blues & Sweet Sixteen fixed. At the end of Sweet
Sixteen Mayall introduces The Stumble but then decides to announce a new 3 days
old song inspired by the people he met in Florence
called Italiano Style which really is a Taylor
guitar festival.
There was a gap at the end of Italiano Style due to tape flip: it begins with
some tape fault then there is a gap at 6’30: both segments
have been joined as far as possible, but something
can still be noticed. Another little gap after 53 seconds into Ridin On To
Santa Fe has been fixed.
This is an excellent show with a great audience and the fun that the musicians
had is very noticeable; it s also a great listening pleasure due to its great
sound quality. Packaging is cool as in all the volumes of this series.
