Soundboard 8.9 - Hard to find anything to complain about when it comes to listening to vintage Kiss board tapes, that is, if you are like me and grew up with Kiss. Believe it or not, Kiss displayed very competent musicianship back in these days. -
Soundboard 9.6 - From the very first notes, you know this one is going to be one helluva ride, and it delivers! -
FM Broadcast 8.8 - A terrific slice of power pop played by perhaps the best ever in the genre. All the songs are killer - no filler, a band at the height of their powers. -
Disc 1: The Bronx 1971 - Audience 8.3 - A huge upgrade to the old tape we know and love. It has been carefully remastered, speed corrected as well, and now is better than ever. Disc 2: Birmingham 1972 - Audience 7.1 - A rare find, but not the best quality. This too has been remastered and is now listenable and worth the price of admission for the very rare inclusion of the track After Forever. -
Audience 8.6 -
Sale!
Audience 7.5 - A tape that struggles to get better, like you keep expecting it to suddenly open up because it isn’t bad once the taper gets his levels set. It maybe hovers too close to the bottom, but you get the sounds of everything on stage, maybe vocals a little behind the mix but so what? It’s Gentle Giant, you want the music parts mainly. I think fans can appreciate this early gig. -
Pro Studio Quality -
The 2017 show is an Audience 8.7 - Decent but not showing a lot of dynamics / The 2018 show is Soundboard 9.4 and the star of this set. -
Soundboard 9.8 - Simply fantastic! A MUST!!!! -
Audience 6.8 - A little boomy, present guitar but low vocals. -
Soundboard 9.4 - Incendiary is all I can say to describe this. High level guitar going on, be prepared for off the charts shred before shred was even a thing. -
Soundboard 9.1 - I love this one, great performance and great atmosphere. The band must have recorded a lot of shows on this tour, maybe they were trying to get the penultimate show on tape for the Live Lotus LP release. -
FM Broadcast 9.0 - There’s not much information as to what this is exactly, but to me it sounds like a live in studio thing. It’s pretty cool actually. -
PRO STUDIO 9.3 - One of the best I have come across, a great selection of tracks and some I’d never heard before. Excellent! -
Soundboard 8.6 - Very clear, with occasional wow and flutter but the atmosphere is intact and the history is undeniable. A certain must for any Kiss fan! -
Soundboard 9.4 - Superb document! My only complaint is very minor, I would have mixed keyboards in a little higher, but otherwise this smokes!
