• Blister On The Moon

• I Got My Brand On You

• Rock Me Baby / Bye Bye Bird / Baby Please Don't Go / You Shook Me Baby

Released officially in Taste I'll Remember 4CD set in 2015.

There exists a very early Taste's soundboard recording included in 1/4-inch reel-to-reel master soundboard tape total running time 128min.58sec recording of the Jimi Hendrix Experience and others performing at the Woburn Music Festival, 6/7 July 1968 (sale on Christie's in 2008).

According to the Christie's auction sale description, recording time for Taste is 23min.21sec, tracks of Summertime / Blister On The Moon / I Got My Brand On You / Rock Me Baby / Bye Bye Bird / Baby Please Don't Go / You Shook Me Baby. "After finishing the first song of his set, Rory Gallagher says Thank You 16 times!"

ジミ・ヘンドリックス・エクスペリエンスと初期のテイストの貴重なライブ音源を含むフェスティバルの未公開SDBテープが、2008年にクリスティーズのオークションに出品された。（落札者はオランダのジミ・ヘンドリックス・ファンだという裏情報。）うち23分21秒がテイストで、録音されたセットリストは英文記述を見てほしい。オークションの商品説明によると、「ロリー・ギャラガーは1曲めの終わりにサンキューを16回も言う！」

これは「ウォバーン・ミュージック・フェスティバル」（1968年7月6日と7日の2日間開催）の録音で、ヘンドリックスは6日夜、テイストはジョン・メイオール＆ザ・ブルースブレイカーズ等と共に7日夜の出演だった（同夜にフリートウッド・マックの名も挙がっていたが、録音されなかったか、あるいはフェスティバルに現れなかったらしい）。

2008年のオークションで音源テープは丸ごとヘンドリックス・コレクターの手に落ちたらしいと聞いた時、これでもうテイストの録音を聴くことはできないものと諦めかけたのだが、ほとんど奇跡的に、2015年公式リリースの『I'll Remember』4CDセットに収録されていた。関係者の多大な尽力と音源所有者の好意に対して本当に感謝だ。

日本のレコード＆オーディオマニアの方（特にテイスト／ロリー・ギャラガーのファンというわけではない）のブログで読んだ記憶があるのだが、当時のポリドールのスタジオ技術者が優秀で、このアルバムは理想的なバランスで録音され、英国ファーストプレス盤を適切な装置と適正な環境で聴いた場合、特に「It's Happened Before...」と「On The Boards」で録音の良さが評価できるのだそうだ。

『ワイト島1970～懐かしきロックの残像』（1995年リリース）

ワイト島フェスティバルは劇場用にフィルムで200時間分が撮影されたが、フェスティバル主催者の赤字や紛糾で映画は完成せず、混乱と失敗の記録ドキュメンタリーとしてようやく世に出たのが1995年。ジミ・ヘンドリックス、ザ・フー、ジェスロ・タル、アメリカからドアーズ、ジョーン・バエズ等約20組の当時一流のミュージシャンが登場する中、人気急上昇のテイストが「Sinner Boy」を演奏する。フェスティバルがマリファナやLSD、人前で公然とセックスするなど、曲名どおりの「罰当たり小僧」の大集合となったことへの地元の批判ーーという映画の筋書きの中にこの曲が組み込まれ、全裸女性の闖入というハプニング映像が無理やり挿入されているが、演奏シーンそのものにも繋ぎ合わせの痕跡がある。DVDボーナストラックには、ロリーのソロでテレキャスターのスライドプレイがじっくり堪能できる「Gambling Blues」完全収録。だがロリーのまさに独壇場で、別カメラが捉えたベースのリチャード・マックラッケンとドラムのジョン・ウィルソンの手持ち無沙汰な様子が、この時すでに始まっていたバンド崩壊を暗示させる。

『テイスト　ホワッツ・ゴーイング・オン　ワイト島ライヴ1970』（2015年リリース）

“あのワイト島”から45年ーーニューポート・ジャズフェスティバル等で実績があるアメリカ人映画監督マレイ・ラーナーがこのフェスティバルを記録したフィルムの存在を、往年のロックファンが知った1995～96年ごろから20年の長きにわたり待たされ続けた「ワイト島のテイスト」完全版は、2015年9月ついにその封印を解かれた。様々な障害やややこしい交渉事を乗り越えてリリースにこぎつけたのだろうと思うと、関係者の方々に感謝の気持ちでいっぱいだ。オリジナルフィルムによるライブ映像は、1995年リリースの『Message To Love: The Isle Of Wight Music Festival　ワイト島1970～懐かしきロックの残像』に収録されていた「Sinner Boy」1曲のフッテージと違って、音と映像にはぎ合わせの編集がほとんどなく（したがって1995年版「Sinner Boy」に象徴的だった全裸の女性は登場しないが）、テイストの演奏ぶりをガチで堪能できる。例外として3曲め「Morning Sun」は風俗ドキュメンタリー風にフェスティバル会場光景を多数挿入、8曲め「Feel So Good」はクロージング・フッテージとして音源だけを使った編集になっているが、曲と曲の合間もほとんどカットなしと思われるので、ロリーが曲に合わせてストラトキャスターとテレキャスターを持ち替えたり、チューニングを変えたりする場面も詳細に見ることができる。しかも「The Concert」（55分）の方は4:3サイズで画面の上下が切られておらず、映像作品としてのオリジナリティが守られたことも嬉しい。音も画質も保存が良く非常にきれい。そして何と言っても映像作品（映画）としての芸術性が高いと思う。手持ちカメラ4～5台使った前後左右からの躍動的なカメラワークがジョン・ウィルソン（ドラム）、リチャード・マックラッケン（ベース）の表情も豊かに、時に大胆なカットで芸術的に捉える。テイストというバンドはこの3人でテイストだったのであり、ロリー・ギャラガーのワンマン・バンドでは決してなかったことを悟らせる。だがこのワイト島がバンドの「終わりの始まり」だったのだ。すでに亀裂が生じていた彼らはここでも口論を繰り返し、ロリーは終始不機嫌で一人になりたがったという。が、ステージが始まれば3人は、アイコンタクトを交わし、互いの演奏する手を見つめつつ、挑戦的でスリリングなアドリブの仕掛け合いを演じて、聴衆に息を飲ませ熱狂させる。ただし、同時にリリースされた10曲入りのライブ音源CDでは、従来未発表で映像にもない「Blister On The Moon」が収録されているが、元来カッチリとコンパクトに作られたこの曲でこの演奏を聴いたら、バンドとしてはもう終わっていたことが如実にわかってしまうと、日本のバンド O.E. Gallagher のギタリストが話してくれた。テイストの出演は晴れた8月の金曜午後、ザ・フー、ドアーズ、スライ＆ザ・ファミリーストーン、マイルス・デイヴィス、ジミ・ヘンドリックスといったメイン・ラインナップとは別の日だったそうだ。ステージ直下の椅子席の客はイマイチまばらなように見えるが、金網フェンスに隔てられた遠景には何万もの聴衆がひしめき合っている。おそらく「チケットを買わずに押しかけてタダ見を決め込む連中」なのだろう。テイストを支持したのはそういう労働者階級の若者達だったのだ。
