John Mayall with Mick Taylor on Wolfgang's Vault

Live at the Fillmore West February 1968:
"This incredible night, where John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers performed between Albert King and the Jimi Hendrix Experience must have been a feast for blues fans and guitar players alike. The recording begins poorly mixed during the opening "Dust My Broom," but by the second song "So Many Roads," the instrumental balance is quite good. Mick Taylor fans might find this recording like a holy grail, as so little exists of this era. Mayall posthumously released two poorly recorded live albums of this lineup that, although sourced from mono audience recordings, clearly demonstrated that Mick Taylor was indeed in the league of his predecessors. Here one can enjoy that same era in far better clarity.
Being on a bill sandwiched between King and Hendrix must have been intimidating for all involved, especially Mick Taylor, but he rises to the occasion. His fluid guitar playing is simply outstanding on this set. One gets the sense that Taylor studied his predecessors carefully and was consciously avoiding duplication. He is striving for a sound uniquely his own and he is thoroughly successful. He has little interest in flashiness and instead, often plays in a manner both thoughtful and refined. This isn't to say he doesn't cut loose - he does spectacularly on "So Many Roads" and "My Own Fault," the two most improvisational pieces. On these, he has plenty of bite, a distinct touch and a delicious tone"

"As we say in England, it can get a bit trainspottery"
