Soundboard 9.7 - Both as good as it gets. Pro all the way.…a must have! -
All Pro Studio -
Soundboard 9.0 - Great great gig the band sounds so good! -
Audience 9.4 -
Soundboard 9.7 -
Soundboard 9.4 - Powerful, living room clarity in your face and just as good a mix as you can do. -
Soundboard 9.3 - Very nice mix right in the sweet spot. -
Audience 7.8 - Everyone knows of this one, it’s one of the MUST HAVE’S for Rush fans but that doesn’t mean it is perfect audio – there’s a bit of distortion (not too much) and some phasing here and there, and other little flaws but man oh man, just do yourself a favor and get it because it is one of the painfully few times the band performed The Necromancer and here it is in reasonably good quality and it does KILL in every sense of the word. Again, a MUST have! -
Audience 7.8 - What can I say about this? It is a MUST have for any self respecting fan. Is it an amazing soundboard? No. Is it a spectacular audience? No. It is a decent audience recording of a typical UK tour 1977 gig except for one thing – They play The Necromancer and it SMOKES! This is akin to discovering a Zeppelin tape where they play a complete Good Times Bad Times. This is the stuff of dreams for Rush collectors. -
Audience 9.4 - Thankfully the final show of their last Tour features a superbly captured tape with good tight sound. -
Audience 8.8 - What happens when you take an already good tape and make it better?....This....MAJOR UPGRADE! -
Audience 8.6 - Go ahead and crank this, the louder it gets the better it sounds. -
Audience 9.0 -
Soundboard 9.7 - If you can't get into this, you are dead from the neck up. Totally badassery here! Get it. -
Soundboard 9.2 - A very clean, dry board with dramatic emphasis on guitar as it should. A study in how to rock the blues without falling into same old same old, I mean, the man was a living riff machine! -
Audience 9.8 - Spectacular recording that captures every nuance with beautiful clarity and dynamics while allowing just enough crowd and ambience in to perfect the listening experience. So F’ING good I defy anyone to challenge my assessment. -
Audience 9.7 - The title asks the question “is this the mix we really want?” and the answer is most emphatically “YES”! Brilliant sound, like you are sitting right in the front row center…why spend the money, get this CD instead! -
Audience 9.1 - Fantastic stereo separation and clarity of instruments. -
Audience 9.4 - When an audience tape is done correctly you get a very real sense of the environment, of the people and the moment happening in front of you. This tape does all of that for you. -
Audience 8.8 - Looking for a good quality Plasmatics recording? Right here it is. Get it! -
Audience 8.9 - An infamous gig, Roger has had quite enough from a fan and spits on him. But the show – the show is a good ‘un, and captured very well here with a very clear and direct guitar sound primarily but solid rhythm section as well and some of the atmosphere does present. Its limitation might be that there are a couple of cuts and other tape related issues (few and far between) and maybe that keys get a little buried at times but really it’s no deal breaker just minor things. Highly recommend this one! -
Audience 9.4 - Clearly this tape belongs in the tapers hall of fame. So good, you hear every little nuance, I could swear I even hear the breaths taken between verses! Yes, it is that good! -
Audience 9.4 - Front row seat to a sizzling Pink Floyd concert. Total immersion, 100% satisfaction guaranteed. -
Audience 8.5 - A solid tape, with the occasional shouts of “sit down” to add atmosphere. Everything comes through lovely, and seemingly pretty close to the taper. Solid Solid Solid. -
Soundboard 8.8 -
Audience 8.3 - One of the better audience captures in my opinion. A strong show, doesn't hurt my ears it's very very good! -
Pro 9.0 - I believe this was Broadcast at the time, but either way it’s a great time capsule and a very early Crazy Horse gig. Everyone should check this out. -
Audience 8.8 - This recording has been attributed to a soundboard radio broadcast but I highly doubt that. For one thing, listen to the vocals, that should be a dead giveaway. That all being said, the recording is very, very good, a little on the bright side but it is still smokin’ hot and not to be missed. -
Soundboard 9.0 - I love this mix you can really hear the bass definition. -
Audience 8.4 - This is a special recording, mainly because it reveals another element to the live experience – a really rocking band with a rocking bassist. What do I mean? Well, you actually hear John Paul Jones CLEARLY defined notes, and I don’t mean it is a bass heavy recording. It’s actually more mid range, but man, what a revelation to actually hear every note from the bass and very raunchy, dirty guitar tone from Jimmy Page. A clear and strong, but a little crispy in the upper mid to high frequencies, recording. Still, everyone should really get this one. Total electric excitement! -
Soundboard 9.8 (2-12-75) -
Soundboard 8.8 - This is Bonzo’s show, even with the mix. I love the drum sound on this tape. -
Audience 8.3 - A little tape noise present but I think this recording is just fine for the time. It is better than some of the other Japanese shows from the tour. It gets really good during the acoustic section. Also happens to be a power house of a concert. Really a must I think. -
Soundboard 7.6 -
Audience 7.2 - A little rough and some hiss but it’s alright, it’s all pretty tight, it’s outtasight! -
Soundboard 9.0 - hot show! A band that always put on a good, solid, tight and professional show. Total pro's and that's why we still love them. -
Soundboard 9.6 - Smoking hot a MUST have! -
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! -
Seattle 1969 - Soundboard 8.7 - Smoking hot jamming, the band is on fire! Some tape hiss, but worth getting. Southampton 1969 - Soundboard 8.6 -
Aud 7.1 - Here’s an interesting situation, a marginal recording that is clear and audible. How can that be? It’s a transistor cassette deck recording, but the capture is centered, and the band is actually clear, just lo-fi. A recent remastering really brought out some of the music and to my ears lifted this tape out of “curiosity only” and into actual collectable status. -
Aud 8.8 - Exceptional for an audience capture during this time period. Taken from three sources and merged, this tape offers the listener a really good idea of what to have expected from Jimi and company in 1970. Powerful, if not a little unbalanced at times, but infinitely enjoyable. -
Pro Soundboard 9.7 -
Audience 8.4 - Certainly a keeper here, a well recorded, and clean tape of the fledgling Genesis touring behind their first LP. Fascinating document! -
Soundboard 9.5 -
Audience 8.5 - Solid all the way. -
Soundboard 9.6 - Great live mix, like it was recorded for a release. Drums are tight, guitar is slamming, vocals perfect. -
Soundboard 9.7 -
Soundboard 9.0 - A very energetic show and a great tape that allows an appropriate amount of atmosphere to permeate.
