MICK TAYLOR with
WENTUS BLUES BAND.
2003-2006 Scandinavian tours

This is a series dedicated to Mick Taylor’s shows with Wentus Blues Band in Sweden and Finland from 2003 to 2006.
A big thank you to all the people who recorded these shows and who shared them and to my two accomplices nzb and Jaap (Stonesmuziekfan) who gave me the benefit of their versions of these shows and their advice and support ... and therefore without whom this project would not have been possible.

To celebrate the 20 years of Wentus Blues Band-anniversary, 3 concerts with lots of guests were organized from 14th to 16th September 2006 in Helsinki.
They were filmed by director Heikki Kossi for the later released documentary ‘Family Meeting’.

On the audio release ‘Family Meeting’ (on Ruf Records in 2007, catalogue number Ruf 1134) Mick Taylor plays on 2 tracks that were not from the 15 or 16th September (so they have to come from the 14th September): « Blind Willie McTell » and « Ventilator Blues ».
These two tracks are the only circulating recordings from the 14th September but because they have been officially released we cannot present them here.
On this compilation Mick Taylor also plays on one song from the 16th September: « Can’t You Hear Me Knocking ». It’s not the same recording so we chose to keep it.

I deleted gaps between the tracks and I reworked the transitions between the tracks that now start with the song.
