Mick TAYLOR
With TUMBLIN’ DICE

This is a series dedicated to Mick Taylor's shows with Tumblin’ Dice.

Tumblin’ Dice is the name of the band that Mick Taylor toured with (mainly) in the South of the US in 1992 - 1993.
This group also included the legendary Bobby Keys and sometimes the late great Nicky Hopkins or (from the X-Pensive Winos) Ivan Neville in its line-up.
A big thank you to all the people who recorded these shows, to my two accomplices nzb and Jaap (Stonesmuziekfan) who gave me the benefit of their versions of these shows and their advice and support... and therefore without whom this project would not have been possible.

Part II: East Coast Gigs - early May 1993
Volume 05
NEW YORK CITY
The Grand
(7th May 1993 – soundcheck)


7th May 1993: TUMBLIN’ DICE. New York City, The Grand. Soundcheck.
Line-up: MT (gtr, voc)/Babi Floyd (voc)/Bobby Keys (sax)/Ivan Neville (keyb, voc)/
Michael Neville (bass)/Adolfo ‘Fofi’ Lancha (dr).

The recording is coming from nzb and has not been widely circulating yet.
Of course, a soundcheck is a totally different listening experience as here are lots of tunings, warmings, comments … and microphone noises.
I decided to do two versions: one with the complete raw material not reworked and another with my selection of the better segments (‘the highlights’) where I deleted the more boring sequences and noises.

I°] Selection of the best segments: (24’16)
01- finger exercises (MT)
02 - short oriental mood (MT)
03 - warming the voice and guitar (MT)
04 - finger exercises on piano (IN)
05 - short jam (MT, IN & Fofi)
06 - more finger exercises (MT)
07 - rehearsing (all but Ivan)
08 - some riffs and ‘Hell To Hell’ intro (MT, IN)
09 - HELL TO TELL (all)
10 - MT & Bobby Keys (MT & BK)
11 - YOU SHOOK ME (all)
12 - jazzy improvisation (IN)
13 - BIG CHIEF (IN, MT & Fofi)

II°] The ‘original’ recordings: (32’15)
14 - finger exercises
15 - short jam
16 - more finger exercises
17 - some riffs
18 - riffs and intro
19 - HELL TO TELL
20 - other riffs and exercises
21 - YOU SHOOK ME -broken off
22 - BIG CHIEF -with Ivan Neville on vocals, part only


I amplified a little the sound and reorganized the tracks.
