Audience 7.0-8.0 - Muffled sounding, but this tape has been cleaned up a lot since I heard it oh about 30 years ago! Once your ears adjust it sounds a heck of a lot better than the first minute, the tape does improve some, in fact by the second song it’s a whole point better! -
Audience 8.6 - This is a very good recording where all I can say is I wanted more guitar…but Bonzo is furious and drums sound heavy, bass is POUNDING without booming, and Plant rides it all with a reasonably clear and present vocal that kind of seems like it’s floating like cream above the sound. All in all I have to say this is pretty righteous for a 1972 aud. tape. Recommended!

Audience 8.1 - An old, very fragile tape was found and YEARS of grime and muck were removed to reveal a little bit of music. Still, on the scale of things Zeppelin, this tape is for completists only. Thankfully though it exists and has been wrapped in a very fine looking package. It deserves at least that much. Funny thing though, in listening to this, the bass is clear comparatively speaking and has a brassy, round sound that allows you to hear the notes he is playing. It’s not just a rumbling “low end” mess here, and so I appreciated that. Super excited audience also helps propel the recording a little bit.

Audience 7.5 - A SUPREMELY upgraded source from the one we have had to suffer through for years. This being one of Zep’s most historic concerts too! A MUST HAVE! -

Audience 7.3 - This is a big upgrade to my ears. It used to be abysmal, now you can hear everything. Explosive and violent show, the band is ripping. Tapers can be heard sometimes but it adds to the weird atmosphere. -
Volume 1: Audience 7.4 - Noisy and a bit cluttered with some clappers nearby. That being said, the remastering has brought out much more of the music and it can be enjoyed. -
Volume 2: Audience 7.6-7.8 - Noisy and a bit cluttered with some clappers nearby. That being said, the remastering has brought out much more of the music and it can be enjoyed. -

Audience 7.5 - Not bad just a tad loud, and a bit crowded in the middle of the spectrum. (first night 9-13-71) -
Audience 8.5 - Much brighter and open than the previous night. Also loud but well balanced. (second night 9-14-71) -
Audience 7.4 - This is a pretty loud tape, not the clearest or the most dynamic either, but if you are looking for a powerful wall of sound Zep show this is it! Incredibly brutal, the force of the bands’ sound is stunning. -
Audience 7.3 - A little on the crispy side, with a lot of cymbal and high hat in the mix, but overall I think you can just equalize to taste and it is just fine. -

This one is not crap, you can clearly enjoy each member as the separation of instruments is actually very good, in fact the bass notes are distinct here. The mix is good, the sound is decent, the performance is very good. I see no reason why not to have this.
