The review

This new series covers Mick Taylor 1990 European tour and starts with a re cording that has not been circulating widely. This is nice as a recording, but some micro noises (at the end of Goin’ South had to be deleted, the sound amplified and the transitions b etween the tracks reworked; note that Goin’ South is here cut in two parts probably due to a tape flip.

The line-up consisted of Mick Taylor on guitar and vocals, Blondie Chaplin on guitar and vocals, Wilbur Bascomb on bass, Eric Parker on drums and Max Middleton on keyboards. This concert in a way is historical because together with the following one in Wunsiedel has a setlist that does not include Can’t You Hear Me Knocking that premiered as encore in Munich. This is not a great recording, unfortunately, the sound being too muddy and also before the music starts there are about 8 minutes of tuning that could easily have been omitted, this is a frustrating recording since when there are only applauses they can be heard in very good quality, vut when the music starts the sound deteriorates.
