Audience 8.6 - In contrast to the Finland show, this one doesn't have the boominess but it is thinner sounding, however it is very clear and Kay is much more audible. Guitar, drums, and vocals very clear albeit thin. I found the bass to be lovely, round, very cool to hear such detail! This is NOT a muddy recording, and being 1970 that means you get the classic songs performed close to the records.

Soundboard 9.8 - A beautifully mixed audio, with a touch of “verb” that allows for some air around the music. Crisp, but not crispy, warm, punch when warranted, and clean but not sterile.

Soundboard 9.3 - I was unfamiliar with the live sound of Stevie Wonder having only heard his studio output, I was happy to hear that he and his band really could jam. I’ll be exploring more live Wonder because of this show.

Studio Quality 9.7 - As good as you can hope for. Prince recorded a lot of these tunes several times with different combinations and different mixes and that explains why you will see these tracks popping up on different collections. Hendrix did the same thing. Prince: Box O Chocolates Compilation of outtakes. All sourced from low generation tapes... NOTHING has been ripped from existing bootlegs. You won't hear a better version unless the purple vault is opened! 1. Witness 4 the Prosecution 3:52 2. Movie Star 4:24 3. A Place in Heaven 2:50 4. The Ballad Of Dorothy Parker 3:58 5.

Audience 8.7 - A good recording with what seems to be a little middle band compression but not too much. So, it’s smooth low end and louder upper middle and highs but softer middle band, that is not necessarily bad, it’s just lacking in that punch factor. It is though, as stated, a pretty decent recording. Oh, and the last song of the evening is “Don’t Fear The Reaper” so VERY cool to hear another live version of that. You know why BOC fans love the live recordings? Because with 5 guitar players at any given time, you just want to hear what they do with these amazing songs on stage.

Studio Quality 8.9 - The quality is great but you have to get past the first song and a half as there is some static present. Once you move past those tracks you get some very interesting studio rehearsals and outtakes. I love the rawness here, it’s very visceral and powerful.

Soundboard 9.6 - Fantastic sound and even better performance here. Look, I know Skynyrd had a lock on all things Southern Rock for most of the 70’s, but can we agree that Molly Hatchet carried the torch admirably into the 80’s? They did. Here is proof.

Audience 8.9 - A good, clear, and very strong recording. The percussion is crisp and detailed, all of the music is well balanced, Prince vocals are mixed above all which is great.
