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).

08 - outro

For this show two recordings were already circulating. One, coming from nzb, has an average sound but has the complete intro & tuning and it’s lossless. My version has the better sound but is lossy and missed the beginning from the intro.
The Maidenlane recording is interesting because for the first time it contains the 2nd encore which was missing in the other recordings and the sound is good.
I decided to propose two versions:
- This one with the reworked Maidenlane recording
- Another one combining all sources to get the best sound and the most complete recording

This is the reworked Maidenlane recording. It was recorded by Mr. Winchester, associate of Maidenlane.
As usual I edited the tracks and declicked and amplified the recording, I equilibrated the channels and I improved the speed (accelerated by +1,3%).
Note some short gap after several tracks but no music is lost and another at 6’18 in ‘Goin’ South’ (tape flip) where some seconds are lost: both fragments are now reconnected.

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