The review

After more than a year the coalition between Carla Olson and Mick Taylor resumed in the autumn of 1991, unfortunately only fragments of 2 of the 5 shows are available and here we can find them, 4 tracks, the first incomplete (but it can of course be heard in better quality in the recently released vinyl LP of the same name) from San Francisco and one from Los Angeles. Here the line-up consisted of: Mick Taylor on guitar and vocalc, Carla Olson on vocals and guitar, George Callins on guitar and backing vocals, Jesse Sublett on bass and Rick Hemmert on drums. On Part One which is in excellent sound and that features the Slim's tracks there were some little defaults and gaps that have been deleted and one channel rebalanced (+ 10% to the right). On Part 2 from The Palomino Club (shortly before its closure) we get another version of Sway, a lossy track coming from a private video, which has its channels been duplicated; for sure this is a bad quality recording, but what can be heard from Taylor's guitar is simply fantastic.
