Soundboard 9.6 - Great live mix, like it was recorded for a release. Drums are tight, guitar is slamming, vocals perfect. -
Soudboard 9.7 - Beautiful fullness of sound! Saweet! -
Audience 8.8 - A surprisingly great tape! Very wide spectrum and a solid, in the pocket mix. Great show too! -

Audience 7.5 - This is direct from the open reel master tape. There is some limitation to the capture (slight oversaturation) but I would say this is a pretty fascinating document. -
Audience 8.5 - A little lack of depth and overall dynamics but pretty clear, well mixed capture here. Stevie sounds good! -

Audience 7.7 - Lots of cool hysteria in the crowd, sound is clear enough to enjoy but still does have that stadium sound with a bit of boom and echo but not too much. It’s good! -
Sale!

Audience 9.5 - As good as you can do, clear and bright, great mix and some great feel in a small club. -

Audience 7.4 - History has shown that most recordings originating from the UK’s Brighton Dome are pretty bad, this one seems to be on the better side of bad. It’s quite listenable if not somewhat muddy and not the clearest ever, but once your ears adjust, and if you add some treble to it, it’s fine. -
Audience 8.5 - A pretty clear and somewhat vibrant with the sound almost kind of travelling around over your head. Keys are the stars of this show as they are front and center in the mix and sound really good. The low end is not very present, it is an upper midrange recording of very good quality. -
Audience 7.4 - Would be much better with just a little bit of remastering because there is plenty of low end to work with, and even though the high end is muffled you can add some brightness to this, remove some tape hiss, and this show could be a real keeper. As it is now, for collectors only. -
Audience 8.8 - I rate this highly for the excellent atmosphere of the sound, where the vocals seem to just soar. It is not as thick in the mids where you want them, but that is why the vocals soar because they occupy a lot of the midrange and highs. Sometimes you also get a nice vibration of sound from the drums and all in all it adds tremendous intensity and excitement to the tape. Listen to Toccata and tell me I am wrong! This tape has a unique feel to it that I find very enjoyable. Another cool thing is that a lot of the problems with tape cuts have been fixed with crossfades making for a smoother listen…that includes the large section in Toccata which was unlistenable (unfortunately). -
Audience 8.5 - Strong recording due to the clarity (sounds like VERY low gen). -
Audience 8.7 - Probably have to consider this a must have for fans. It’s a very fine recording for the era, and the band is playing their asses off to win fans with their brand of intense symphonic progressive rock (still a new thing in 1970). -
Audience 8.1 - Kind of occupies the very middle as far as dynamics go with maybe an emphasis on low end which means this recording at least has balls. It’s clear enough that you hear everything, and I think it successfully captured a marvelous evening. -
Audience 7.8 - A touch on the thin side and not especially dynamic, however it is nice and clear to the ears meaning you can hear everything they are doing on stage with good separation of instruments. Very decent just not super dynamic.
