Merged & Mixed Versions: 1. Tusks, 2. Put It Where You Want It, 3. Red House, 4. Giddy Up.

In this volume we get a double bill; the first 4 tracks are the merged version, the second the mixes. In this concert the l ine-up was: Mick Taylor on guitar, Jon Young on vocals, keyboards and congas, Wayne Hammond on bass and Mike Cullen on drums.

Recording information: from taper’s master coming from a Sony WMD-3 recorder (using included clip-on stereo mic). A recording of this show had already circulated; In is initial form, Maidenlane’s recording was not interesting because it had an average sound quality and because only the first part had been recorded. To add value to it, it was decided to make different assays to merge and mixed it with the other known version. The merged version has on left channel the known source & on the right channel Maidenlane’s source which has been de-clicked, its sound boosted and tracks edited. The other source too was de-clicked, channels rebalanced and the transitions between the tracks reworked. To synchronize both sources Maidenlane’s source had to be decelerated by around -3 to -3,5%. Personally I like the mixed version better because they blend better offering a more fluid sound.
