The review

This recording is from another Swedish concert and probably comes from a private film of the show where only the songs with Mick Taylor playing were filmed or kept; some microgaps between tracks were deleted as well as th e many 1-second gaps present in several tracks: in Fed Up With The Blues at 0’48, in You Gotta Move at 1’42 and in Blind Willie McTell at 4’07.

In No Expectations there were two gaps with a little bit of music lost at 1’59 and at 3’02, so it was tried to complete the first gap with a patch coming from 3’50 where MT repeated the same verse. The same for Can’t You Hear Me Knocking at 0’11 and where a patch coming from 0’07 was used. The whole length of this recording is over the 80 minutes mark, so it would be wise to delete (or reduce) the unnecessary Encore Break, in order to let it be just over 78 minutes. Luckily this recording has an excellent audio that certainly helps in order to appreciate the musician dexterity. There is a short reprise at the end of Can’t You Hear Me Knocking, something never heard before or after this concert for this song.
