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 “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).

For this show two recordings were already circulating one is high-pitched (hissy) and compressed but with a very good quality of Mick Taylor’s voice. The other is lossless but muddy and a little saturated.
The Maidenlane recording is interesting and is a good alternate recording to the already circulated ones.
I will post a complementary version using the previous recordings.
As usual I edited the tracks, declicked and amplified the recording, I equilibrated the channels. and improved the speed (decelerated by -3%).
Note a tape flip after ‘Red House’ but no music is lost!

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