Soundboard 9.1 - Starts off with a channel dropout for a minute then it gets right on track with a good solid sound quality that just lacks maybe a little brightness to it.

FM Broadcast 8.9 - A decent tape that seems a gen or two down but it has a pleasant warmth and is pretty clean otherwise. I am reminded of the amazing dexterity and feel that Lowell George displays especially when it comes to his slide work…impeccable!

Audience 9.1 - Well captured recording that delivers that small venue dynamic, and you get that sense the band is responding to the crowd and elevates just a little more. It’s hard to believe this was done in the mid 70’s because it sounds like it could have been yesterday.

Soundboard 9.6 - An incredible recording meets an amazing performance by a superb band. Get this now if you have any interest in progressive rock, because this is going to be a regular guest in your CD player I guarantee. -
Soundboard 8.8 - Solid, if just slightly flat maybe and perhaps also one or two gens down but it’s a keeper and a strong show (all the Australia dates were good).

Amsterdam 1973 Soundboard 8.9 - Nice to have good, clean board tapes of this line up. I think this is his best band, and I think he sounds terrific here. Sheffield 1973 Soundboard 8.9 - Another great board tape featuring Lou’s best band. I love the sound of the band let alone their musicianship. Lou rises to the occasion, he knows he has to deliver or he’ll be overshadowed by these fine players. Thankfully, he actually does!

Home Recordings 8.8 - You have to give props to Lou Reed because he can take an acoustic guitar and a bedroom atmosphere and crank out demos that you can’t ignore. The songs man, he can write!

Audience 8,7 - A distant recording with that unmistakable large stadium natural reverb that makes you sort of imagine where you are as you listen and squint your eyes to see what Lou Reed is doing on stage. The good news is that everything pretty much is audible, and reasonably clear too. The recording does lack some low end, but is not overly tinny, and drums/vocals are favored in the mix with guitars sort of chiming in just behind. If this wasn’t a clean/clear recording I would say there’s not much use for it but it has redeeming qualities and some charming renditions of some of his most beloved tunes.

Soundboard 9.3 - Crisp highs, great mid tones are what define this tape. -
Audience 9.1 - Clear and sharp, right up close and full of electric atmosphere. Lovely! -

Soundboard 8.9 - Great performance here, one of the best I have heard quite frankly. Having just ditched the classic line up, you would think a downturn in performance caliber would occur but I do not get that here at all.
