| Audience 9.6 - What makes this such an excellent recording imho is that the sound is not only really balanced, but mix-wise it is also superb. I mean, the punch of the bass, the crispness of the drums, the airiness of the keys, guitar right in the pocket…fuck what else do you want? It’s just excellence and your ears be the judge but mine are pretty spot on usually so…yeah, get this one. |

Audience 8.5 - A decent recording that stays pretty much in the middle of the spectrum in a mildly compressed fashion…so highs are not too high and lows are not boomy. That does take away some of the dynamics of the sound, but at least you get reasonably decent sonic clarity. 10cc Venue: Koseinenkin Hall, Tokyo, Japan Date: 4 Oct 1977 Disc 1 1 -The Second Sitting For The Last supper 2 -You've Got a Cold 3 -Honeymoon With B Troop 4 -Wall Street Shuffle 5 -People In Love 6 -Band intro 7 -Art For Art's Sake 8 -Ships Don't Disappear In The Night (Do They) 9 -I'm Mandy Fly Me 10 -Marriage Bureau Rendezvous 11 -Good Morning Judge Disc 2 1 -Feel The Benefit 2 -Waterfall 3 -The Things We Do For Love 4 -I'm Not In Love 5 -Modern Man Blues Eric Stewart - Vocals, Guitar, Grand Piano & Keyboard Graham Gouldman - Vocals, Guitar & Bass Guitar Rick Fenn - Backing Vocals, Guitar & Bass Guitar Tony O'Malley - Backing Vocals (lead on AFAS), Piano & Keyboard Stuart Tosh - Backing vocals, Drums & Percussion Paul Burgess - Drums & Percussion -

It’s got just enough in the middle and bottom to allow you to attenuate the recording to your liking and in that regard you will find yourself going with this one often. It’s not a one and done show at all. GREAT find and appreciated a little bit more being that it’s a Grace Under Pressure tour gig which for some reason there’s not a plethora of excellent recordings from this tour. -
RORY GALLAGHER Long Beach Arena Long Beach CA. April 15th 1973 1 -Tune up 2 -Messin' With The Kid 3 -Hand's Off 4 -Shoud've Learnt My Lesson 5 -Laundromat 6 -Bullfrog Blues 7 -Bass Solo 8 -Drum Solo 9 -Bullfrog Blues (reprise) THE BAND Rory Gallagher guitar vocals Gerry McAvoy bass Lou Martin keyboards Rod de'Ath drumsAudience 8.4 - A recent discovery, and man what a good one. A very strong recording for the time, minimal errors although maybe a touch hot on the upper end of the bandwidth but not enough to harm. The sound is pretty direct and forceful, if even a touch of rawness that harkens back to his really early days with Taste. -

Robin Trower 1 Still There'll Be More 2 Wish Me Well 3 The Devil Came From Kansas 4 Shine on Brightly 5 Your Own Choice 6 Juicy John Pink 7 Nothing That I didn't Know 8 A Salty Dog 9 Whisky Train 10 Whaling Stories Gary Brooker (voice & piano) Chris Copping (bass, Hammond organ) Robin Trower (guitar, bass, voice) BJ Wilson (drums) total time: 46 min. 28 sec.Audience 8.2 - A recent re-mastering has helped this old tape IMMENSELY. I mean, it took it from a 7.3 to an 8.2 which is significant. For that reason alone, people who have had this one should now upgrade. -
M Radio 8.9 - This is NOT the Mantra Studios 77, this is the concert from September of 1977 and it is GREAT! -

This is what I would call a fully immersive live recording and it’s all thanks to a fan with great gear and a passion for preservation. Great stuff! -
Led Zeppelin, Birmingham Odeon December 16, 1972, Birmingham, England Disc 1 1. -Rock And Roll 2. -Over The Hills And Far Away 3. -Black Dog 4. -Misty Mountain Hop 5. -Since I've Been Loving You 6. -Dancing Days 7. -Bron-Y-Aur Stomp 8. -The Song Remains The Same 9. -The Rain Song Disc 2 1. -Dazed and Confused 2. -Stairway To Heaven 3. -Whole Lotta Love (Medley) 4. -HeartbreakerAudience 8.0 - One of those “back to the clubs” gigs where you assume, because Zep were so loud, that any recording of them in a small club would sound like crap. This one is not crap, you can clearly enjoy each member as the separation of instruments is actually very good, in fact the bass notes are distinct here. The mix is good, the sound is decent, the performance is very good. I see no reason why not to have this. -

Disc 3 Soundboard 9.6 - Superb, in almost every way! -
Audience 9.1 - Excellent fidelity, good and punchy with tight bass and airy vocals. -
Audience 9.5 - This is what a professional audience recording sounds like. Why oh why would anyone bypass a recording of this fidelity simply because it isn’t a board? Ridiculous! This is killer. -
