REVIEW: |
This
release is part of the so called grey market, that is you can buy it online
from famous wholesale retailer companies although not fully authorized by all
artists involved; in this case it seems Taylor was not very happy about its
release. Anyway, Corky Laing did not oppose to it, since he even wrote some
notes about the concerts:
“In
the late 1980s I lived in Westport, Connecticut. I was between jobs and bands,
and so were many of my contemporaries. Luckily many of them lived close by, or
would otherwise frequent the area, and I was able to put together a number of Corky
Laing All Stars shows in 1988 and 1989. The musicians would change from show to
show, however Mark Clarke (ex Uriah Heep and Mountain) played bass quite
frequently and Roger Ball (ex Average White Band) was often on saxophone. At
one time or another, I was happy to be joined on stage by the likes of Levon
Helm (The Band), Meatloaf, Felix Cavaliere (ex The Rascals), and Mick Taylor
(ex Rolling Stones). Here you can listen to the one where Mick Taylor joins me
on stage!”
The line-up
consists of Mick Taylor on guitar and vocals, Corky Laing on drums and vocals,
Mark Clarke on bass, Lester Chambers (formerly of the Chambers Brothers and
Electric Flag) on percussions and keyboards. This show already came out on a Japan
no label release called Leather Jacket in the same quality, credited to what
used to be called Corky Laing’s All Star. This recording is good although vocals
are a bit down in the mix; frankly I have some doubts about these having been
two shows, it seems to me they are the same concert with an interruption in the
middle, in fact it sounds strange that there are no tracks played on both
shows, it seems instead that the second part of the concert features different
tracks with regards to the first one. Anyway, the music output is good and
hearing Taylor guitar licks is enough these days.
