Audience 8.3 - Whenever you come across any 70’s ZZ Top, your instantly going to ask “how does it sound”? because we all know how rough most of them are – but this one reveals layers of the band previously lost in a dense fog of distortion and volume – an articulate bass. Billy’s tone is lovely as ever but only his solos soar above the rhythm section who are LOUD but not distorted. One to pick up! -
Audience 8.5 - This band, while known as a blues band, played at rock and roll volume. That is why most of their 70’s recordings are either muddy or distorted. This one is creeping up to the very edge of distortion but it does not cross over – it does max out the headroom of the tape though. Look at the rating, it’s a very, very good recording considering the scarcity…and the amazing set list! Come on, if you are a fan, dive into this one! -

Audience 7.4 - Thin, AM radio like but good AM radio. -
Pro radio broadcasts 8.8 some age showing but very clear. -
Pro 9.0 - Everything in this set is very good to excellent, sounds mostly all Soundboard too. What a peculiar band, interesting, intense, angular (see title). -
Soundboard 9.5 - In the history of eclectic rock bands has there ever been anything else like Roxy Music? So, sit back and enjoy this crisp, expertly mixed concert ‘cause it smokes! -
Audience 7.7 - Gives you a pretty good idea of what going to a Roxy Music show would have been like in these early days. Not a super duper crystal clear expertly mixed experience, but not a terrible sounding amateur recording and one can only applaud the tapers for making the effort. Does this help? -
Soundboard 9.0 - Excellent and rare document of an amazing band at an amazing time of their career.…simply put this is an absolute must have! -
