30CD Deluxe Box Set Tribute an den verstorbenen Blues-Pionier John Mayall mit Live-Aufnahmen von 1968-1993
Streng limitierte Box, die mehr als zwei Jahrzehnte von John Mayalls bahnbrechenden Blues-Auftritten einfängt. »The Second Generation« ist eine umfangreiche 30-CD-Sammlung, die ikonische Live-Shows von 1968 bis 1993 auf der ganzen Welt enthält. Diese unvergleichliche Veröffentlichung zeigt John Mayalls ständig wechselnde Besetzung von Blues-Virtuosen, darunter die Gitarrengrößen Mick Taylor, Harvey Mandel, Walter Trout und Coco Montoya, sowie legendäre Schlagzeuger wie Keef Hartley und Bass-Giganten wie John McVie und Larry Taylor.
Dieses Box-Set erscheint zeitgleich mit John Mayalls wohlverdienter Aufnahme in die Rock & Roll Hall of Fame und wurde von John Mayall vor seinem traurigen Tod Anfang des Jahres genehmigt und voll unterstützt.
Das Set enthält auch ein 120-seitiges gebundenes Buch mit einer Einführung und Beiträgen von Gaz Mayall sowie vielen bisher nicht gezeigten Fotos.
Madfish Music proudly presents a strictly limited-edition box set that captures over two decades of John Mayall’s pioneering blues performances. The Second Generation is a sprawling 30-CD collection, featuring iconic live shows from 1968 to 1993 across the globe. This unparalleled release showcases John Mayall‘s ever-evolving lineup of blues virtuosos, including guitar greats Mick Taylor, Harvey Mandel, Walter Trout, and Coco Montoya, along with legendary drummers like Keef Hartley and bass giants such as John McVie and Larry Taylor.
Mayall’s influence and appeal was worldwide; the selection of live recordings herein showcasing his timeless, singular sound. Captured from soundboard and audience recordings across 30 performances from cities including New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Paris, Milan, London, and more, the collection spans a 25-year period and offers a comprehensive view of Mayall’s legendary live prowess.
This box set coincides with John Mayall’s much-deserved induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and was approved and fully supported by John Mayall before his sad passing earlier this year.
Gaz Mayall spoke recently about the forthcoming boxset “The family has been working closely with Madfish / Snapper Music over the past couple of years to bring together this formidable collection of music and memorabilia. We are very excited to present this fabulous selection to coincide with John’s long overdue induction into the Rock ’n’ Roll Hall of Fame”.
The Mayall estate also supplied two very special privately recorded shows for this box set, both performances coming from Gaz Mayall’s legendary club night Gaz’s Rockin’ Blues in 1981 and 1982 respectively. The former features Alexis Korner and the latter is a rare example of John and his sons Gaz & Ben all appearing onstage together.
The set also includes a 120-page hardback book with introduction and contributions from Gaz Mayall plus many previously unseen photos.
