The final
volume of the series presents the best recording of the lot in soundboard
quality, a high recording that has been circulating since a long rime but for
some reason was never used for any bootleg, apart some cdr releases like Southport
’92 (CDCS 22/23).
Not much
was done to improve it, just rebalancing the channels, reworking the beginning
of each track so now everyone starts now with a song and deleted some digital noises
at 6’12 during Little Red Rooster and at 1’06 during Stranger In This Town,
as well as some micro-gaps between the tracks.
Two
segments from Promised Land had a very low volume left channel, so here the
right one was used duplicating it to re-balance the output. Mick Taylor is introduced
saying: From Jupiter….Mick Taylor; as in the Leeds concert Mick Taylor does not
play on Promised Land, the cover version of this Chuck Berry song which was
also played by Elvis Presley.
The biggest
problem, however, happened in Boogie Man where there was a 2 seconds gap at 2’05:
in this case a patch coming from the next verse was used with excellent results.
The only regret here is that both Goin’ South and Jumping Jack Flash are
incomplete.
This is the
last available recording from the 1992 British Tour, too bad there are no
circulating tapes from Barnstable, Guersney, Jersey, Folkestone, Manchester and
London’s Mean Fiddler. This has however proved to be a valuable series.
