• Audience 8.7 - Proper live recording from the audience, probably authorized by the band, sounds professional (may be a Soundboard but very hard to tell).
  • Audience 7.8 - Too bad this is not better quality because certainly it demands the attention of music collectors being one of the few times Jeff Beck jammed live on stage with John McLaughlin. I mean, you have to believe Jeff was pushed to try things he hadn’t even thought of yet, so to get to hear all that is a real treat regardless of the average audio quality. I should be specific and tell you that indeed you will hear all the guitars reasonably clear as those instruments thankfully come through the best.
  • Soundboard 9.4 - Fans of Frank Marino rejoice! Fantastic quality and BLAZING riff bashing by one of rock’s most criminally underrated axemen. Riff’s are certainly bashed but the classy jazz tinged scales that he tosses out with finesse really impresses. Get it now!
  • Audience 9.5 - Tremendous and powerful with a great tonality (much better than Frank’s 70’s tone in my opinion). A well rounded set, full of exquisite ensemble playing, tight and nimble riffing and mature, expressive solos.  Fantastic!

  • Radio Broadcast 8.5 - This is a big upgrade to what you may have heard before. Music is total mind frying acid induced psychedelia ala Hendrix. KILLER MAN!
  • Soundboard 9.4 - Terrific performance as usual by the criminally underrated master Frank Marino. This one will please all fans for sure.

  • Soundboard and Audience 8.7 – 8.6 – 8.4  - The first two discs are soundboard but show signs of age and lack brightness although both are clear. Disc 1 sounds like it was broadcast over the air, and is slightly better than disc 2. Disc 3 is an audience recording that sometimes peaks in volume causing some high end distortion (mainly present in the cymbal crashes) but is not bad overall.

  • Audience 8.3 - Tape limitations, some occasional phasing, but far out stuff and enjoyable!
  • Audience 8.4 - I would call this a very decent recording, with bass and guitar being pretty defined, which is great because I enjoy hearing distinctive bass notes. The drums are not as well defined, but they are there and come more to the fore during Red House. This is a highly recommended show, and he really pays homage to Hendrix at this gig.

  • Soundboard 9.0 - A rare show featuring Quicksilver guitarist John Cipollina.
  • Stereo Soundboard 9.6 - A fantastic and interesting tape, the live mix sometimes pans in stereo giving it a unique flavor. The drums and keyboards are placed superbly in the mix, vocals very strong, but it does lack some low end, not that it is thin or too bright, that is not the problem here at all it’s just that I think the bass may have been so loud through the P.A. that it didn’t need to pass through the board feed so you do hear it but it’s not super deep. Still, a great one for the collection and certainly if you like hard psychedelic rock but the kicker here is the appearance on 4 tracks by John Cipollina.

  • John Miles Boston 1977 Audience 9.0 - A very well captured document, in fact the entire evening was recorded making for one very special listening experience.
