At that time it was a phenomenal high-quality audience sound source, including a total of 16 songs played on the day. 13 years since Stone’s withdrawal, 8 years since solo album announcement, the activity situation was enveloped in a mystery What kind of song does he play in what way? Together with such various expectations with the fans who gathered at the venue, we played original songs, played Jimihen, Allman Brothers, and classical blues numbers in that unique phrase. Especially Billie Preston’s masterpiece “Will It Go Round In Circles” develops a funky and tasty play that reminds me of the 1973 European tour that Taylor went with Billy! In addition, it is also interesting that the gentle audience warmly supports Taylor, the wild audience skips merciless Yazi in the second part, and the atmosphere of the venue changes shimmer, the atmosphere of each part and the atmosphere of the live A wonderful recording that tells without limit. In the second part, guest guitarist jumps in with three songs “Stormy Monday Blues”, “Statesboro Blues” and “Rock Me Baby”, and it is also listening at rare that they are performing a competition with Taylor and a guitar battle! The legendary play now revives the listeners fans!
