Soundboard 9.1 - A wild one for sure, the recording is able to capture the manic energy perfectly. -
Audience 8.0 -
Soundboard 9.3 - One of my favorites, Its not too often that Frank does "Chungas Revenge", "Tell Me You Love Me" and "The Blue Light" live. Audio is top notch and band is in great form....great packaging art work. -
SDBRD 9.1 - All excellent quality taken from a well known and highly collectable old Roxy boot from back in the day. -
SDBRD 9.6 - Recorded for broadcast, sounds like they are playing in your living room. -
Aud 7.8 - Big hall sound, slight boominess but excellent as far as this kind of recording goes. -
Soundboard 9.4 - Superb document! My only complaint is very minor, I would have mixed keyboards in a little higher, but otherwise this smokes! -
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. -
Pro Studio Quality -
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 - This is a guitar-fest right here, the sound mix allows Jeff’s sound to cut through the bass which, if you have been collecting much BBA, you know bass is almost always WAY too loud! Well, it is understandable I guess, but this show features a more democratic mix and you will REALLY enjoy it for that reason alone. Besides for that, it’s a good show, the band sounds like they might not be beating the shit out of each other backstage…ahem. -
Pro Studio and Live 9.0 - Consistent, with some obvious age related issues present on some cuts but overall pretty much in the pocket. -
Audience 8.2 - What does this tape offer? Unequaled tension, suspense, musicianship, mood, and satisfaction. Is it the best quality? No, but you can clearly hear every instrument, and I will take an 8.2 Crimson over 98% of anyone else in a heartbeat. This music is just brilliant and intense.
