Audience 7.6 - This is a tape that you could turn up and add some bass in the Equalizer and it will improve a lot. The sound is a little thin but completely intact and very consistent all the way through. -
Audience 8.4 - Pretty good stuff, once taper gets situated and gets his levels set. -
Audience 9.4 - How I never came across this one before is simply a shock because it absolutely SMOKES! Just a brilliant, clear, atmospheric recording capturing the subtlety and nuance of a complex band. Not to be missed! -
Audience 8.5 - OK, so the deal here is that the taper seems to be real close to the PA system and his machine is getting bombasted like heck, but the thing is holding up somewhat. Early on, the snare drum is pegging his meters and it’s kind of annoying until he seems to either move a little or dial back the recording levels because it evens out after a couple songs. A very kinetic and wild show and recording that throws you headfirst into the action, a thrill ride of epic proportions I would say. Have fun! -
Aud 8.8 - Exceptional for an audience capture during this time period. Taken from three sources and merged, this tape offers the listener a really good idea of what to have expected from Jimi and company in 1970. Powerful, if not a little unbalanced at times, but infinitely enjoyable. -
Audience 8.9 - A very powerful and full concert experience in stereo, clear and well balanced. So good! -
CD1 Aud 7.6 There are several tape sources for this show, to my ears I like this one the most. CD 2 Aud 7.8 A little better here, maybe it’s just a tad bit more separation of instruments and overall timbre. -

Aud 8.4 - Oh how I love this show! Why? It’s reasonably clear with only a bit of upper level distortion – but man, this just blows EVERYTHING away! The set list for one, it’s got some little gems on it, and the playing – YUP – he’s killin’ it. What else? Oh, a very intimate feel, just has a sort of immediate impact kind of sound. Mitch and Noel are spot on, Jimi feeds off of their energy as well as the audience. A MUST! -
Aud 6.9 - Not an impossible one, for instance, vocals and guitar are here, although in a not-so-hi-fi form. That being said, the guitar bombastics in this show are second to none. He’s really letting it all fly, so I figure he was getting a good sound from his backline and he was in a terrific mood. Fiery show and worth getting for that alone. -
Aud 8.8 - This recording sounds hella-killa man! Bonus material on the other disc is also very excellent. A fantastic collector item that you do not want to ignore if you do not have this material. -
Audience 8.5 - Ripping show! Monster guitar shred -
CD 1 Aud 8.2 Nice version here, must be a very low gen tape source. CD 2 Aud 8.3 I like this recording a lot, it’s a touch overloaded but you hear a very realistic sound, pretty close to what you may have heard standing close to the mains. Maybe a little bit of tape saturation (not distortion, two different things!), otherwise this one is very fun to hear putting you right in the middle of it all. -
CD 1 Aud 6.8 This one is pretty rough, but if you got Vol. 1, than this set completes the Texas picture (with the exception of the Houston gigs). CD 2 Aud 7.2 -
Pro Studio Quality 9.8 The BEST collection you can find for the money. Put together by people who wanted to give you only “the goods” and not just endless noodling or naked mixes. Fantastic and intoxicating! -
Aud 8.2 to 8.8 - The sound varies a little bit as the set progresses, mainly because it is a rotating stage and therefore sounds great when the stage is in front of the taper. The DVD is fascinating, a real treasure!
