Audience 8.8 - One of the best from this period. Very clear, and close and wow, what a show! Pretty intense is all I can say. -
Audience 7.4 - Suffers from large stadium boominess, lack of distinction and separation of instruments. As the show goes on, the ear gets tuned in and you begin to actually kind of get into it. The thing is, it does have a certain “realness” to it. -
CD 1 - London 1975 - Audience 7.2 - Sound is a little muffled but vocals and guitar cut through the murkiness, taper seems to also be moving to find a better spot and sometimes he catches a sweet spot and the sound clears a little. Overall I think fans will appreciate this recording for what it is, a good solid performance. CD 2 - Salisbury 1975 - Audience 8.0 (solid) - Sounds a lot cleaner and brighter than disc 1, so enjoy! -
Audience 9.1 - Clear and sharp, right up close and full of electric atmosphere. Lovely! -
Audience 8.1 - I would call this a fine recording, it captures every performer on stage as it happened, although not in the clearest fidelity, but you can really still enjoy this because it is not the kind of problem that distracts. It’s a good, not great, recording. -
Audience 8.7 - Recoded on professional equipment and it shows. Crisp highs, and a good, lively atmosphere. You get a little bit of that big hall cavernous ambiance here that keeps vocals just behind the stage sound. -
Soundboard 9.3 - Sweet mix here, with a great band once again allowing Reed ample room to do what he does and at the same time, show off their own chops. -

Audience 8.3 - Good and clear. -
Audience 7.8 - Bonham is the star of this show, he sounds great. The recording, while not offering too much in the way of dynamics, does present enough separation of instruments to appreciate the performance. -
Audience 7.5 - This tape is not nearly as bad as what it used to sound like before we had high end re-mastering tools. So, it’s got some noise issues that kind of keep it from really opening up but the amazing thing now is you really can hear the whole band, and Jimmy is just on fire. Collectors really praise the band performance from this show, and it is obviously much improved now, so yeah, I recommend it. (3-27-70) -
Audience 8.3 - A good and clear tape for the time period. Might be struggling to get the separation of instruments during really intense moments but you can really get into this one for sure. -
Audience 8.4 - This is a special recording, mainly because it reveals another element to the live experience – a really rocking band with a rocking bassist. What do I mean? Well, you actually hear John Paul Jones CLEARLY defined notes, and I don’t mean it is a bass heavy recording. It’s actually more mid range, but man, what a revelation to actually hear every note from the bass and very raunchy, dirty guitar tone from Jimmy Page. A clear and strong, but a little crispy in the upper mid to high frequencies, recording. Still, everyone should really get this one. Total electric excitement! -
Audience 8.1 - A very decent and clear recording from maybe midway back of the hall. Show is fantastic, and the recording sufficiently documents this event. -
Audience 8.2 - This is a good recording, clear and pretty strong when the levels are right, but there’s the rub. The sound levels occasionally drop a notch lower throughout the course of the set, ultimately they do settle into a predictable place which is fine, think of it like listening along when suddenly they hit the overdrive pedal. When that happens, it gets VERY good for a while. Well worth having this despite that.
