Audience 9.6 - Beautiful recording here! Spacious and accurate, but what I really love is the atmosphere of the Beacon Theatre…always a very respectful but appreciative audience.

Audience 9.2 - A lot of dynamics and presence on this tape. -
Audience 8.6 - A solid large hall recording. -
Radio Broadcast 8.8 - Very nice, with only maybe a little bit of that typical analog tape compression keeping anything from soaring too high. Anyway, it is delightful and sure to please. -
Audience 7.7 - Suffers from a lack of clarity of instruments and a little bit of large hall echo, with bass being in the forefront but not a boomy bass so that is good. -
Audience 9.3 - The great thing about this performer is that his sound and style is timeless – it might as well be 1976 because after listening to his shows from the 70’s, I can’t tell much difference between then and this 1990 show. The show sounds great, it is rich and full bodied with an especially beautiful drum sound and bass is meaty without being overbearing although it sometimes shakes your speakers!Jean-Luc Ponty Greek Theatre Los Angeles, Ca August 17, 1990 Disc 1 01 Imaginary Voyage Part 1 02 Infinite Pursuit 03 Cosmic Messenger 04 I Only Feel Good With You 05 Nostalgic Lady 06 Tender Memories 07 In The Fast Lane 08 Eulogy To Oscar Romero 09 Stay With Me 10 Spring Episode Disc 2 11 Don't Let The World Pass You By 12 Band Introduction 13 A Taste For Passion 14 Pastoral Harmony 15 The Story Teller 16 Faith In You 17 The Amazon Forest 18 After The Storm 19 A Journey's End 20 Far From Beaten Paths

Soundboard 8.8 - Very cool when you listen to these ’66 shows because to my ears this music really was the heart and soul of the hippie free love movement. Just incredible stuff. -

Mostly professional studio quality, and some live soundboards, all generally excellent quality throughout the entire set. A real treasure trove of materials basically spans her entire career.

Audience 8.5 -
Audience 8.7 -
Radio Broadcast 8.3 - Somewhat hissy but MUCH better than the version that circulated before. Someone remastered this, thank goodness because it’s great but needed some work. -
Audience 9.5 - Sparkling, full bodied, warm, and simply breathtaking recording. I don’t think you could do much better if you went out and bought an official live album. Get it!

First Show: Audience 7.3 / Second Show: Audience 7.9 - This one is much clearer, but both shows are going to be good for those who appreciate the pre-Deep Purple Tommy Bolin. -
Audience 8.8 - A huge upgrade to the Fillmore West ’70 tape! Is it worth getting even if I have the old one? Oh, yes, it is. It’s so much better that it needed a completely new presentation. Give your old copy to your neighbor, you shall not be needing it anymore.

Audience 7.2 - A reasonable rating and better at times. -
SDBRD 9.9 - The only thing that gets this to a 10 is a better kick drum sound (extreme nitpicking here).
