• Audience 8.7 - This recording has an overall decent quality to it but somewhere in the mid frequency band there is a small amount of clutter that seems to be more noticeable when heavy bass is played. Otherwise the audio can be remarkably clear, but I don’t think this slight flaw (probably in the mic that was used) ruins the recording; it’s not “glaring”, just there. Re-mastering the audio helped to notch out the offending frequency making it a lot better, so go for it, it’s pretty good.

  • Audience 8.8 - A good, strong, very clear recording with accompanying audience members who are REALLY getting into it. I found it fun, not annoying at all, because mostly they are quiet while the music plays. The music is great too, and strong performances by everyone. Stick It In / Stick It Out Stadthalle, Vienna, Austria February 3, 1978 Stick It In: 1. Introduction ["The Purple Lagoon" vamp] [01:30] 2. Dancin' Fool [03:29] 3. Peaches en Regalia [02:24] 4.

  • Soundboard 9.5 - A great, loud, but very well balanced board, and it has some dynamics to it, and even manages to allow some atmosphere to creep in. After all, it was New Year’s Eve so you gotta get some of the atmosphere in there. Explosive! Santana New Year's Eve 1976 Cow Palace, SF.

  • Soundboard 9.3 - Excellent presence and clarity. Her backup band is excellent, but do the Dutch get her style of music?  I guess they did!

  • Audience 9.2 - Both shows represented here are very similar and probably done by the same crew, in roughly the same vicinity because both are close to the P.A. (and not distorted!).  In fact, both are exactly the kind of audience tapes I like the most – brutally powerful with just enough atmosphere to get the feel of the day. When I say powerful, I mean this stuff is comin’ at ya! Love it to death! Jeff Beck Oakland Stadium Day On The Green 4 Oakland,California June 5-6,1976 Band: Jeff Beck-Guitar Jan Hammer-Keys Tony Smith-Drums,Vocals Fernando Saunders-Bass Steven Kindler-Violin Disc 1 June 5th, 1976 1-Oh Yeah 2-Country And Eastern Music 3-Darkness - Earth In Search Of A Sun 4-You Know What I Mean 5-Freeway Jam 6-Sophie 7-Earth (Still Our Only Home) 8-Diamond Dust 9-Full Moon Boogie 10-Led Boots Disc 2 June 6th, 1976 1-Intro 2-Oh Yeah 3-Country and Eastern Music 4-Darkness-Earth in Search of a Sun - You Know What I mean 5-Freeway Jam 6-Sophie 7-Diamond Dust 8-The Groove 9-Blue Wind 10-Full Moon Boogie
  • Audience 8.3 - This recording is balancing very finely on the borderline but thankfully falls onto the “acceptable” side. I would call it slightly above average maybe, as the tape shows some typical age limitations, but still manages to present the evening in a listenable quality. Must have been a small audience at this show, crowd response is weak, but the band still perform admirably. Guzman Theatre, Miami, FL. March 9th, 1974 Disc 1

  • Audience 8.0 - In this particular case, the rating doesn’t say anything about how amazing this tape is. Sure, it’s not glorious hi-fi with ultra-wide dynamic range, but it is actually much more than that. It’s just, pure magic. Short, yes, it’s not complete by a long shot and I am a little sad we don’t have the rest, but what we do have is proof of why Zeppelin took off after touring the States in ’69.  I can’t imagine what people were thinking at this show. They could not have ever gotten anything as monumental as this from any local artist or 2nd tier touring act. This is indescribable; I can’t even find the right words. Page and Plant are killing it, in perfect unison, playing the best live versions of these tunes I think I have ever heard, approaching the majesty of the Fillmore West 4-27-69 but not as clear (obviously). The guitar tone is similar, with that funky echoplex delay sound especially on You Shook Me which launches into another dimension.  The sound, at first, you might be dismayed, but stick with it. By the time you get a couple minutes in, you will be mesmerized. It’s an 8.0 that you’ll listen to a few more times for the lesson Page and Plant give in how to hypnotize an audience.

  • Audience 8.7 - This recording sounds like what I always imagined a Stones concert from 1975 would sound like…raw, dirty, and dangerous. How can anyone not like this kind of stuff?  It’s just the coolest, really, sitting here and reliving these times. The Stones captured the times in their sound, and their energy is so damn cool, so funky, bluesy, the Stones are rock and roll. The Rolling Stones Rich Stadium, Buffalo, NY. August 8. 1975. CD 1: 1.

Street Fighting Man 10. Jumping Jack Flash
  • Audience 8.8 - A solid recording that may be a semi-professional reel to reel machine. You can tell as the recorder dials in the sound levels at the start of the show. They knew what they were doing and were there to capture this moment. A great line-up on this evening, I wonder what Frank thought of Hawkwind?

  • Audience 8.7 - You are a little deeper in the audience for this show, but it’s a fun ride because the audience at this show is so into it, they know what they are seeing and hearing and the band responds to it by giving one hell of a performance. A touch thin in the bandwidth but it is clearly captured enough to where you will get drawn into it completely. Guitar sounds cool, the atmosphere lends itself well to Frank’s sound here. Not to be a spoiler, but the guitar work during Stevie’s Spanking…man!

  • Soundboard 8.7 - A tape that shows some age with a little bit of a lack of high end that would provide more clarity as far as the sound mix. It’s a workable board tape nonetheless and it does feature the antics of Pete Townshend and Keith Moon so there is that. In this mix, it is guitar, bass, drums (and vocals are fine) but don’t expect much more. Eric Clapton 'Eric Clapton and Keith Moon' The Coliseum Greensboro, North Carolina, USA Friday August 2, 1974 Disc 1: 01. -Legs Larry Smith Introduction 02. -Smile 03. -Easy Now 04. -I Can't Hold Out 05. -Tell The Truth 06. -Blues Power 07. -Have You Ever Loved A Woman 08. -Keith Moon And The Meat Guitar 09. -Willie And The Hand Jive - Get Ready [with Pete Townshend] Disc 2: 01. -I Shot The Sheriff 02. -Let It Rain 03. -Introductions 04. -Layla 05. -Badge [with Pete Townshend & Keith Moon] 06. -Little Queenie [with Pete Townshend & Keith Moon] Bonus Tracks: (Unknown Date) 07. -Blues Power 08. -Have You Ever Loved A Woman 09. -Let It Rain Eric Clapton - George Terry - Dick Sims - Carl Radle - Jamie Oldaker - Yvonne Elliman.

  • Soundboard 9.1 - A newly discovered tape, takes a little bit to get itself on track with some sound mix problems but they resolve during the first song (sometimes appearing here and there for a second or two later on). The band is very tight, a strong performance, you will wish we had the rest of the show, but it’s great we have this. Led Zeppelin University Arena, University of New Mexico Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA Wednesday May 23rd, 1973 Track List: 01. Celebration Day [03:48] 02. Black Dog [05:36] 03. Misty Mountain Hop [04:56] 04. Since I've Been Loving You [08:45] 05. No Quarter [11:20]
  • Audience 8.5 - an interesting tape, sometimes flawed but quickly recovering. It’s an old tape after all, and I am glad someone dug it out of their shoebox and made it available. The stadium PA systems all have funny mixes sometimes, with how things are panned, etc. etc. and this one is no exception. I get more of the synthesizers and a very articulated bass which is actually very cool because normally Bill is just a rumble. ROLLING STONES ATLANTA,GA.

  • Soundboard 8.9 - An intimate performance for the university students. A warm recording, kind of sounds like it could be coming from your own living room, in the mix, his band is slightly muted in order to highlight Jackson’s acoustic guitar/vocals and I think it is by design. Jackson Browne Jabberwocky Club, Syracuse University, Syracuse, NY Mar. 27, 1971 Disc 1 01 Under The Falling Sky 02 World To Gain 03 Together Again 04 Mae Jean Goes To Hollywood 05 Last Time I Was Home 06 Jesus in 3/4 Time 07 My Opening Farewell 08 From Silverlake 09 Rock Me On The Water 10 Jamaica Say You Will Disc 2 11 Together Again 12 Take It Underground 13 When You Lose Your Money 14 Our Lady Of The Well 15 These Days 16 Someday Morning 17 Shadow Dream Song 18 Song For Adam 19 Looking Into You Often considered to be the first recorded live performance of JB.
  • Soundboard 9.1  - I am not sure if this was recorded for broadcast or not, it sure sounds like it may have been, I mean may have been broadcast as I hear some of the “FM compression” characteristics here…but it is a fine board tape nonetheless. Jackson Browne Municipal Auditorium, Nashville, TN February 22, 1978 Disc 1 01 Take it Easy 02 The Fuse 03 Fountain of Sorrow 04 Here Comes Those Tears Again 05 Before the Deluge 06 Your Bright Baby Blues 07 Rock Me on the Water 08 Cocaine 09 Rosie 10 For a Dancer Disc 2 11 Doctor My Eyes 12 These Days 13 For Everyman 14 Walking Slow 15 Running On Empty 16 Love Needs a Heart 17 The Pretender 18 The Load Out 19 Stay 20 The Road and the Sky This show is soon after the release of Running on Empty, Jackson Browne's most popular album. Great performance of "Fountain of Sorrow".
  • Audience 9.3 - This recording sparkles, a very pro effort made by the tapers who apparently had excellent seats on the first row of the balcony center stage.
