Audience 9.3 - Hard to dispute the excellence of this recording. The only downside is that not only does it capture the happenings on stage extremely well, it also captures the audience close to the mic…but, that seems to add excitement so we let it slide. -
Audience 7.1 - A little noisy and squeezed into the middle, but I hear everything on the stage happening, very kinetically I might add! -
Soundboard 8.8 - * Bonus tracks ... Audience 6.9 -
Pro Broadcast quality with minor tape hiss but when the music is going, it’s not a bother. -
Audience 9.2 - Hard to imagine someone not absolutely loving this, but there are still a few people who think just because a microphone placed somewhere in the audience was used to capture the sound, it can’t be good.

Audience 8.7 - Very good! Much wider stereo sound field with some hall dynamics present, and just a little less definition with Pete in the mix but it's actually got a great live feel to it. Highly enjoyable. -
Audience 7.1 - A kind of muddy mix with Roger coming through OK, and the lead guitar is fine. Not the worst 1971 show, which we take whatever we can get as Who fans. -
Audience 7.1 - Definitely not a hi-fi recording but I can say this, you actually hear not only Roger fine above the din, but also Pete’s backing vocals! Next up is bass and guitars, with drums in the back kind of buried. Still, I just love these 68 shows, before Tommy, and the band is just so jazzed and audiences are too. Historical document well worth hearing. -
Audience 7.7 - Pretty decent recording, rather quiet audience this time. The sound rings out clear. My hunch is this may be a vinyl source but it’s been handled properly. Really good for the time. -
Soundboard 9.3 - Everyone should already know about this one. A MUST HAVE without question. -
Audience 7.2 - I love this, for many reasons beyond sound rating. This is one of those shows to me that rises above all other shows of better quality. It is not bad, it is actually a good, fun listen with nothing that annoys or distracts. It is not overly dynamic with crystal highs and deep lows, but the space it occupies does not offend. A good one, while he’s away! -
Audience 8.0 - Loud, very up front and loud but it’s just great. Not technically great, if you want to cross hairs, but a very solid tape and one worthy of consumption. -
Audience 7.2 - Distant, but another recording that would benefit from more volume. For 1967 era Who, I like this tape, I mean, it is not like a Hermans Hermits gig, this would have been ear-bleeding volume! -

Audience 8.8 - This is one for the history books! Includes the first two songs from the infamous halted show where Keith is carried out of the venue. The make up show, as you can imagine, is full of vim and vigor. Good sound, great show…get it! -
Audience 8.4 - Amazing discovery here, a complete 1971 show that sounds rather decent (if loud). This tape puts you right into the middle of the audience, it’s quite exciting!
