Audience 8.8 - A tape that had the bones of a great recording but was buried under prevalent hiss and overall dullness…until now. A marvelous re-mastering has been done on this long forgotten old tape and it is now a little jewel for the collectors. A lot of good stuff lies herein.03. -A New Day Yesterday 04. -Aqualung 05. -Wind-Up 06. -Guitar Solo 07. -Locomotive Breath 08. -Hard-Headed English General 09. -Wind-Up (reprise) -

Seattle 1969 - Soundboard 8.7 - Smoking hot jamming, the band is on fire! Some tape hiss, but worth getting. Southampton 1969 - Soundboard 8.6 -
Radio Broadcast 9.2 - Great gig here, in really nice quality with just very minor underlying signal noise (so you know it’s a radio broadcast). But the show itself is a barn burner!

Audience 8.5 - Ripping show! Monster guitar shred -
Audience 7.8 - A somewhat distant sound, not as in stadium distant, but recording levels. It’s as if the center has dropped out from the mix, but what saves it is the fact that you can really turn up the volume and make up for some of that. The new re-mastering really has saved this tape; it is MUCH easier to listen to now. This is a RARE tape I am told, only surfacing recently. -
Audience 9.0 - It takes a song or two for the tape to balance out to the ears but when it does you immediately sense how realistic a recording this is. I mean, this would have been exactly what your ears would have heard had you been there. Excellent! -
Audience 9.8 - Mindblowing! Put your sterile, lifeless soundboard tapes away and strap in for a REAL LIVE concert brought back to life in astounding clarity.

Audience 7.8 - Let me first say this: Why did this album get panned so harshly? I mean, even the band expressed some regret over it. Look, I get that Passion Play may not fit with the preconception of what Jethro Tull’s music is supposed to be, but at face value the music and playing is superior. The fault may have been the accompanying stage show, and maybe if I were to criticize one thing about the compositions would be that they relied a lot on overly dramatic minor key shifts way too often. However that stuff does not diminish the overall content and performance of a fine and unfairly panned album. This CD captures a complete performance of Passion Play in pretty good overall quality with some minor issues here and there. Fascinating! -

Audience 8.5 - A real surprise this old tape, it sounds pretty darn good! The sound is warm, rounded, and has great atmosphere without losing the immediate punch of the music. Even at full tilt volume, the tape manages to hang together and not get overly saturated. Good job early tapers! -
Soundboard 8.8 -
Audience 8.7 - Comfortable on the ears, with a true stereo mix making this a choice headphone experience. -
Soundboard 9.4 - A terrific “live” sound and feel, it’s hard to tell even if it is a board tape because it just has too much “room” and atmosphere. It’s quite astonishing really, it’s a fantastic sound and mix, and feel, and of course there’s the band and their amazing material. What I can say is that you will love this and play it again…it is one of the best.

Soundboard 9.8 - What makes this recording rate so highly is the professionalism all around – that means the band first for putting in the sparkling performance (and that’s even more succinct here with the unusual line-up and changing sound of Tull), and then the sound engineer for so deftly mixing and preserving this recording. I mean, it’s not just a board tape where you pop in the cassette and capture whatever sound you’ve dialed in for the evening, this is a well manicured mix that seemingly must have been made with a view towards a release because it is just too good, too perfectly balanced to be just a house mix.
