mac_daddy have refurbed an old vacuum record cleaner, and it is working splendidly. so i am cleaning all my boot vinyl. i am listening to "welcome to new york" and there is definitely someone on percussion. there is no sax on the track, is that bobby keys doing it..?

fwiw - nicky REALLY shines on this source - rarely is he as evident in the mix...

thanks, for any info and/or insight.

gimmekeef I believe they used Ollie Brown in 75 but dont think he was around in 72...

Nasty Habits Good question, mac - I have often wondered about this as well. Welcome to New York with the William Stout cover? That boot is sonically and visually great.

I think there a tape of this show--not sure if it is on CD--in which Taylor's guitar, Hopkins' piano, and the bongo are very upfront--not Welcome to NY, they're actually upfront in the recording. It's quite clear that there is extra percussion.

Nico has no further identification of the percussionist.

JuanTCB Remember, Ollie Brown was the drummer in Stevie's band . . .

so it was probably Ollie Brown.

Mathijs It's not Ollie Brown, he was the drummer. They used the percussionist of Stevie's band. He also did percussion on YCAGWYW in Philly.
