Mick Taylor 1992-05-15 The Cabaret Ambler, PA(Vol.3A)



15th May 1992: Ambler, Pennsylvania, The Cabaret
Line-up: MT (gtr, voc)/Jimmie Wood (voc, harm, gtr)/Jimmy King (gtr, bvoc)/Greg Boaz (bass, bvoc)/David Salinas (dr)            

Until recently we only had a limited and incomplete recording of average sound quality for this show : 3 tracks were incomplete, but the recording was lossless (source #1).
A much better sound quality recording (source #2) has been posted on ‘LestatKatt’s Channel’: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YvdqXx-vgZU
Unfortunately, this alternative recording is lossy and it is missing the encore (‘Teresa’).
So we have decided to offer 3 versions:
Vol 03a corresponds to the 1st reworked source
Vol 03b corresponds to the 2nd reworked source
Vol 03c will be a Frankenstein version that will mix the 2 sources to have the most complete recording and that will merge them to have a more spacious sound.

VOLUME 03a
Here you will find the 1st source: it comes from nzb and has not been circulated widely before.
This version ran way too fast and had to be decelerated by -4,5%.
The right channel is unbalanced and is often saturated unlike the left one which is recorded less loudly (but is still sometimes saturated). In addition this channel is ahead to the right (the sound is off-center to the left). The signal is identical on both channels (monophonic recording), so the solution was to keep only the left channel and duplicate it.
Here 3 songs are incomplete but it’s the only lossless source.

CD1:
01 - intro
02 - Badmouth Mama
03 - Hoodoo Thing
04 - How It Feels
05 - Shake Your Hips
06 - That's Alright
incomplete: at 2’10 there’s a long gap: 2’28 are missing

CD2:
01 - You Gotta Move
incomplete: cut at 6’20, around 4’20 are missing
02 - I’m Leaving You
03 - You Don't Miss Your Water
04 - Cairo Motel
05 - Teresa
incomplete: cut at 4’16
