Audience 8.6 - A little far back, in the middle of a rowdy crowd, and not clearly defined with a very deep bass pumping. Now, the positives – it is a clear recording with no distortion and vocals are above it all allowing you to hear lyrics well, guitar fills out the rest of the sound in the mix. Drums and bass are occupying an indistinct bottom end, although let me give credit to the sound guy because bass drum is excellent here. This recording will grow on you as you adjust.

Audience 7.2 - 7.6 During the quite (or less loud I should say) portions, this tape shines. At full throttle, there’s a bandwidth issue with this tape, meaning the music is too much for the narrow bandwidth of the cassette to contain. That being said, there’s no distortion, miraculously – and despite the massive volume you still get a reasonable clearness of the music. If it was just a little more distinct, this could be one of those “feels like your there” tapes.

Audience 7.8 Spectacular 67 gig this one! First, the excellent set list featuring some songs rarely, if ever before, played live. Second, a good, solid immediate sound to this tape. No, it is not perfect, it is very loud (no distortion) but man it is electric in every sense. Guitar is KILLER, the sound and the playing. Very very interesting show and one to get!

Soundboard 9.2 Would be rated even higher but for the fact that vocals are non-existent in this mix. Well, if you care about the lyrics, you best get a lyric sheet – meanwhile, the music is fine with a guitar clinic being put on by Clapton. Later in the set, the sound switches over to an audience recording (7.2) and the vocals and bass return.
