MILES DAVIS

LIVE IN EUROPE 1969 (THE BOOTLEG SERIES VOL.2) - LP

MUSIC ON VINYL PROUDLY PRESENTS THE SECOND INSTALLMENT OF THE ACCLAIMED MILES DAVIS BOOTLEG SERIES ON PRISTINE 180 GRAM VINYL. 'PART 1' ('LIVE IN EUROPE 1967') WAS VOTED HISTORICAL ALBUM OF THE YEAR IN THE DOWN BEAT READERS AND CRITICS POLL. 'BOOTLEG 2: LIVE IN EUROPE 1969' SKIPS TWO YEARS AHEAD TO RECORD DAVIS WITH HIS 'THIRD GREAT QUINTET' ALSO KNOWN AS 'THE LOST BAND' OF 1969-70. THIS LINE-UP CONSISTS OF MILES DAVIS, WAYNE SHORTER, CHICK COREA, DAVE HOLLAND AND JACK DE JOHNETTE AT THEIR PEAK-THEY WERE NEVER RECORDED IN THE STUDIO. THEIR EUROPEAN TOURS OF 1969 ARE SOME OF THE ONLY EXISTING RECORDINGS OF THE GROUP; THE FIRST LEGITIMATELY RELEASED AUDIO RECORDINGS BY THIS STELLAR LINEUP. 'BOOTLEG 2: LIVE IN EUROPE 1969' CAPTURES THE SHORT-LIVED QUINTET IN THREE SEPARATE CONCERT SETTINGS ACROSS 4 LPS, CONTAINING SELECTIONS FROM TWO NIGHTS AT FESTIVAL MONDIAL DU JAZZ D'ANTIBES IN FRANCE AND ONE NIGHT IN STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN. SPECIAL RECORDINGS INCLUDE A PRE-STUDIO RECORDING VERSION OF 'BITCHES BREW' WHICH WOULD BE RECORDED IN THE STUDIO FOR THE INFAMOUS RECORD BY THE SAME NAME A FEW MONTHS LATER. THE AUDIO SOURCES OF 'LIVE IN EUROPE 1969' HAVE BEEN REMASTERED FROM THE HIGHEST QUALITY MASTERS AVAILABLE, SECURED FROM THE EUROPEAN BROADCAST CENTRES WHERE THE MATERIAL WAS ORIGINALLY DOCUMENTED.
