Soundboard 9.2 -
Pro Broadcast quality with minor tape hiss but when the music is going, it’s not a bother. -
Soundboard 8.8 - * Bonus tracks ... Audience 6.9 -
Audience 7.1 - A little noisy and squeezed into the middle, but I hear everything on the stage happening, very kinetically I might add! -
Audience 9.0 - Fantastic recording really, in fact I can only try and be real nitpicky to try to find anything outright bad about it. It’s close up, warm, atmospheric (I don’t mean echo or reverb either), and pretty good separation of instruments. Kick drum is even present, so it is also detailed. Good One! -
Audience 9.5 - Technically speaking, you could argue with my rating, but a rating must not only represent sonic clarity but also overall enjoyability of a show/recording. This one rates as high as I can allow for both excellence and all the other aspects of what makes a tape really great. -
Audience 9.3 - Hard to dispute the excellence of this recording. The only downside is that not only does it capture the happenings on stage extremely well, it also captures the audience close to the mic…but, that seems to add excitement so we let it slide. -
Audience 8.5 - A steady, reliable recording that delivers a very live, natural sound but lacking just a little separation of instruments. Still a VERY good one! -
Soundboard 9.6 - Professional recording and mix…almost perfect in every way! -
Soundboard 9.0 and Audience 8.6 - This is a very interesting document of a period of time in the band’s history where they lost a key member of the band in guitarist Randy Bachman. That did not stop them, as these shows attest. Quality varies but is consistently good across all shows with the first part being Soundboard and the rest very clear and reasonably dynamic Audiences. -
Audience 8.7 - Both very decent recordings capturing a band that is on the cusp of breaking up, but holding it together very nicely for the shows. Interesting stage banter and occasional extended lead jamming present, certainly worthy of your consideration. -
CD 1 - Soundboard 8.3 / CD 2 - Soundboard 8.8 / CD 3 - Soundboard 8.8 What a difference from 1966 to 1975! I rather like the 70’s Guess Who more, but fascinating to hear their formative sound and style. -
Audience 8.3 - A fine recording all things considered. It’s a big hall, recording comes from somewhere in the middle of the arena but the capture is reasonable albeit without a good definition and some mild boominess. Overall you can be happy with this recording and of course the band has a fine repertoire. -
Pro 9.0 -
Audience 8.0 - This is a very acceptable recording that occupies a midrangey place and subdued highs but since everything is clear for the most part it can be totally enjoyed. Oh, and the band really jams!
