The Maidenlane Recordings:
a Mick Taylor tribute
Long-time Mick Taylor fan Maidenlane taped a number of Mick’s gigs on the East Coast (mainly in New York City) between November 1986 - May 1993 to preserve his own memories. Around the same time Mick Taylor lived in NYC and thus did a lot of concerts there, with his own bands or as a guest artist with other great musicians.
In our first series we first published the concerts that had never been circulated in any form. By listening to the others we discovered that many of his alternative recordings were interesting too.
In this second series we publish the “Maidenlane ALTS” which will feature recordings that are either in better sound quality, more complete or sound differently from previous releases.
In the last series we will present the result of mixes and merges which will be similar to the Frankenstein productions (of my FP-series).
Of course, we are very grateful to Maidenlane and I also would like to thank nzb for his help (his advice, judgements and expertise have been invaluable to me).

THE Maidenlane ALTs
VOLUME 01
Mick Taylor and the Hot Water Band
30th November 1986
NEW YORK CITY
The Bottom Line
(2nd show)


We have already published a recording of this show (FP 043) but this one is also very interesting especially for the last titles which are of better quality.
Note: We will later publish a merged/mixed version of the 2 recordings.

30th November 1986: New York City, The Bottom Line (2nd show)
Line-up: MT (gtr)/Jon Young (voc, keyb, congas)/Wayne Hammond (bass)/Mike Cullen (dr)
Recording information: From the taper’s master, recorded with a Sony WMD-3 recorder (using included clip-on stereo mic).

01 - intro and tuning
02 - Tusks
03 - Put It Where You Want It
04 - Giddy Up
05 - Will It Go Round In Circles
06 - Red House (rebuilt)
07 - Hot Water Music (rebuilt)
08 - Going Down
09 - Can't You Hear Me Knocking
10 - band introduction (rebuilt)
11 - Third Stone From The Sun

Here my reworking consisted of editing the songs and declicking the recording. I did also a channels equilibration (+5% to the left channel), I slightly amplified the sound and did a pitch adjustment.
The only problem with this new recording were the gaps at the end of 'Red House' and 'Hot Water Music' and the absence of the band introduction. But I fixed this by using patches from the first source (unfortunately the transition between the 2 sources is, despite my application, a bit abrupt).
06 - Red House (15 seconds patch at the end)
07 - Hot Water Music (5 seconds patch at the end)
10 - Band introduction (54 seconds patch at the start)

As usual I used a lot the infos taken from The Mick Taylor Complete Works Database by Nico Zentgraf: [www.nzentgraf.de]
