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 1992 respectively. The former features Alexis Korner and the latter is a rare example of John and his sons Gaz and Ben all appearing onstage together.
