Studio Recording - This is actually a recent album (digital download only) of a band that first formed in Germany in 1969, and I knew absolutely nothing about them. Turns out they are really good! Their stock in trade is playing familiar progressive 70’s rock arrangements with the same vintage equipment used in their 70’s prime, but recording with modern facilities to get a full, powerful sound. I would say mission accomplished because this is quite good, and not only good but the fact that some of their older material is here in a reworked fashion that does it justice...which is kinda rare to find these days.

Audience 9.3 - This is what I would call a definitive release in that I think if you wanted to know what Sabbath was in ’87 you can use this as a reference. For one thing, it sounds great – and another reason is because it sounds like the band is doing what it had in mind with the line-up and sound. A new direction maybe, but in the same way that maybe Technical Ecstasy was also a new direction. It’s still Sabbath, the bone structure is all there, but the smile has changed…and it has a place in the discography. Black Sabbath Stadthalle Bremen, Germany 1987-11-25 Disc 1 101 Supertzar 102 Neon Knights 103 Children Of The Sea 104 War Pigs 105 Die Young 106 Drums Solo 107 Iron Man 108 Born To Lose Disc 2 201 Black Sabbath 202 Glory Ride 203 Heaven And Hell 204 Guitar Solo 205 Sabbath Bloody Sabbath - Heaven And Hell (Return) 206 Children Of The Grave 207 The Shining 208 Paranoid -
Soundboard 9.4 - A biting and aggressive sounding recording that really works great for the 1994 version of Black Sabbath. I personally enjoy rediscovering this band because after Mob Rules I kind of lost track of their career. Black Sabbath The Sting New Britain, CT 1994-02-08 Disc 1 101 -Supertzar 102 -Time Machine 103 -Children Of The Grave 104 -Children Of The Sea 105 -I Witness 106 -The Mob Rules 107 -Into The Void 108 -Psychophobia 109 -Black Sabbath Disc 2 201 -Neon Knights 202 -Immaculate Deception 203 -The Wizard 204 -Cross Of Thorns 205 -Symptom Of The Universe 206 -Headless Cross 207 -Paranoid Hammersmith Odeon London, UK 1994-04-13 208 Iron Man 209 Sabbath Bloody Sabbath -
Audience 8.6 - This old tape has recently gotten a much needed facelift. It’s as if 40 years of grime were wiped away. That is how I compare this new remaster to the old tape I remember from like 1992.

Audience 9.2 - The first show of the 2024 tour and it’s a real banger! Great audience tape capturing the feel of the show, but with nice dynamics and the magnificent P.A. of The Stones helps quite a lot in getting such a good capture. The band sounds fantastic, and you literally can hear everything happening up on the stage. The Rolling Stones NRG Stadium HOuston,TX.

Soundboard 9.4 - Having received a refreshing facelift, this old and trusty board sounds more alive and vibrant than ever before…and that is great news because these early period Santana shows are essential listening experiences. This one is a must!

Audience 9.6 - Stunning! It’s bright and clear and super dynamic with a palpable sense of positional awareness as you can hear the sound envelope you and the waves of excitement washing over the audience in seemingly 360 degrees. I take this over any soundboard tape any day of the week. Santana Greek Theatre Los Angeles, CA July 15, 1990 Disc 1 01 Angels All Around Us > Spirits Dancing In The Flesh 02 Somewhere In Heaven 03 It's A Jungle Out There 04 Soweto (Africa Libre) 05 Peace On Earth...Mother Earth...Third Stone From The Sun (Jimi Hendrix cover) 06 The Healer (John Lee Hooker cover) 07 Batuka 08 No One To Depend On 09 We Don't Have To Wait Disc 2 10 Bass Solo 11 Black Magic Woman / Gypsy Queen 12 Oye Como Va 13 Mandela 14 For Those Who Chant 15 Savor 16 Blues For Salvador Disc 3 17 Choose 18 She's Not There (Zombies cover) > Marbles 19 Toussaint L'Ouverture 20 Soul Sacrifice > A Love Supreme 21 Europa (Earth's Cry, Heaven's Smile) 22 Jin-Go-Lo-Ba -
Soundboard 9.2 - A nice and tight sound with excellent presence and tone on guitar, clear up front vocals, and nice placement of bass and drums just off to one side and behind adding to the stereo effect. Now, I may be mistaken about this being a board tape or not, for me the audience might be the clue here. I hear them in the background as if they were bleeding into an onstage or close mic from stage front. That being sad a competent and devoted taper may have made this capture and if that is true, that person should receive a medal of commendation!

Audience 8.8 - This is a good capture that definitely helps you decipher what both guitars are doing, and that’s most welcome. Bass is sort of undefined but is holding down a good enough bottom end to help move this sound through your speakers.

FM Broadcast 9.8 - Just about as good as it can get, this captures the moment and freezes it forever in such granular detail that it feels like you are sitting right next to Dickie’s amp. It makes you appreciate his playing like never before. I mean, I play the guitar, but I have no concept of how you turn it into an extension of yourself to the degree that it is practically impossible to make even the slightest mistake. Not that his playing is perfection, it almost is, but just that he uses the instrument to convey so much feeling that it is impossible even to tell if he ever misses a note or phrases something wrong. Does that make sense? NOTE: The artwork shows disc two with only the last two tracks but the set has been tracked to include "Jessica" and "The Way Love Goes" on disc 2...so the artwork will not be changed to reflect the song order it just is what it is. Dickey Betts & Great Southern The Bottom Line NYC, NY. 4/19/77 (early show) Disc 1 01 pre ramble 02 Blue Sky 03 Run Gypsy Run 04 Out To Get Me 05 Bougainvillea 06 In Memory of Elizabeth Reed 07 Nothing you Can Do 08 Southbound Disc 2 09 Jessica 10 The Way Love Goes 11 talk 12 High Falls 13 Ramblin' Man -
Audience 8.8 - This is a well rounded recording that delivers most of what is required to ensure a show remains worthy of repeat listens. The only real limitations I could discern are a slight “noisiness” somewhere between the upper mid band and the high band frequencies that are more noticeable during cymbal crashes – and even then it’s minimal. Maybe another critical observation is the overall audio mix coming from the stage is not ideal, it’s not bad, but it’s not as guitar/vocal prominent as you might be used to, again even that is being overly critical because it’s also not that bad. This is a good tape that may not satisfy the perfectionists out there but will take care of the rest of us (me included!).

Soundboard 9.4 - A lovely capture that was broadcast over the air but this sounds like a pre-broadcast tape and it’s excellent. I especially like how the atmosphere of the event was maintained, it’s not a sterile sounding mix.

Audience 9.4 - I love recordings like this! Super loud but not distorted, and right in your face like your sitting on Rory’s side of the PA. It is like the sound is ripping the cloth off the speaker and filling the entire room with fury. Killer!

Milwaukee 1980 FM Broadcast 8.7 - This was broadcast, the question is, was it recorded professionally and did it sound like this when it was aired? Probably it did not sound like this – because this is below the threshold for what is acceptable for a legitimately broadcast live performance which means it is probably an off-air tape that has suffered from degradation. That being said, it’s been re-mastered and it sounds decent enough to be included in a set which features all soundboards so that says something for it. Vancouver 1981 FM Broadcast 8.8 - This is another one of those not quite living up to radio broadcast expectations probably due to a capture off the air onto cassette tape, regardless it still sounds fine just a bit dated. A re-mastering helped considerably and that is why the show is included in this set. Dortmund 1982 Soundboard 9.1 - Sounds like a large, open air stadium and that atmosphere is preserved onto the tape. A really decent one for the collectors out there. Daytona 1984 Soundboard 9.2 - Wow, the 80’s, and the unique obsession with that (now very dated) certain drum sound that can take any song and make it “new wave” ha ha! Thankfully it’s not the case on every song otherwise I would have said skip this show, but it’s a good, well recorded one so enjoy it. Raleigh 1985 Soundboard 9.4 - Good hard panning of the guitars so that you can distinctly hear each of them as autonomous instruments. A hard rocking sound was mixed on this evening.

Soundboard 9.4 - A newly remastered version of the matinee soundboard show in all it’s glory restored – with bonus material from Seattle, this is well worth re-examining because I found it to be a really pro job, and you don’t have to suffer through the inferior audience tape thrown in because quite honestly there would be no point at all.

Audience 8.5 (discs 1 & 2) FM Broadcast 8.7 - Well this is odd, you have an “in the pit” audience tape that actually delivers a good, fun trip because it is immersive despite not being a full bodied audio like you want – it is definitely worth it for the ride though…but that brings us to the FM broadcast of the show…how is it that I find myself enjoying the audience tape more? Yes the FM is cleaner and all, but it’s very limited and not quite like an AM broadcast but for goodness sake where’s the bass and drums? It’s clearly the Tony and Ian show here – I think someone ought to matrix these together because then you might have something.

Audience 8.9 - One thing for certain, you can’t knock this recording for not having enough wide open and bright atmosphere! Holy crap it’s got that in spades, at maybe at a little expense of the lower register – although the bass is present in a sort of brassy and sassy kind of way. If you want to hear that guitar detail and don’t mind that the recording favors that sort of mid band/upper high range of sound and less emphasis on deep bottom end (most people would prefer not being overloaded with bass as it tends to muddy the sound) than you will like this a lot. I did not miss having phatness in the bottom end because I cranked up my bass on the EQ and lo-and-behold there was bass!

Audience 9.1 - Here’s a rarity of sorts, a late 80’s Jefferson Airplane show. So, how relevant were they in the grunge rock era? There’s plenty of fire left in this rock band, and rock they do! Quality is very good here, so your ears can relax and your mind can drift away as you re-engage yourself with what really matters…great, original rock and roll.

Soundboard 9.5 - What a tour-de-force this show is! Long considered by Deadheads as being the pinnacle shows of the entire 72 tour, the “Texas Swing” stand of shows (Austin, Dallas, San Antonio, Houston) just present so much incredible music and vibe that it’s hard to believe your ears. Let me put it this way – if the psychedelic pop music of the 60’s is like a tic tac, than songs like Black Throated Wind or The Other One are Porterhouse steaks!

Audience 9.4 - I love these open-air recordings that really shine, capturing not just the music but the entire vibe of the event…and so realistically! This to me is what collecting is about, basically it is about reliving a musical event from the past. This one does that in spades.

Soundboard 9.6 - Same exact setup for recording as the Evening show do the review is the same. Killer sound for a heavier rock band because they preserve the tone and the dynamics, it’s not just VOLUME up to 10 although I am pretty certain this show was very loud.

Soundboard 8.8 - The audio quality is very good, the mix wanders around a bit – because I am pretty sure this wasn’t just the band rehearsing but the entire crew. Sounds to me like they were ready to go – some hot playing!

Soundboard 9.8 - Professionally recorded for release, the quality is as defined as you could hope for. Probably had to be somewhat challenging to mix, a band with three back-up singers and a lead singer, violinist, guitar/bass/drums, and keyboards. A lot to manage but an impeccable job for this show.Solstice 2Days Prog + 1 Festival Campo Sportivo Revislate, Novara, Italy September 4th, 2022
