Soundboard 8.9 - Always nice to have these, the rarest of things, a great sounding Iron Maiden show from the early days. Bass is slamming on this one, you hear every note!

Audience 9.1 - Some tape hiss present, but you won’t notice when the music is playing because it sounds so good. High quality gear was used to capture this show; that is obvious to these ears.

Soundboard 9.7 - Not all board tapes are exceptional, even if they sound good. What makes for an exceptional one is whether it sounds “live” or not, and this one most definitely does! Foghat Selland Arena, Fresno, CA April 11, 1978 Band line up Dave Peverett - guitar, vocals (passed away February 7, 2000, aged 56) Rod Price - guitar, slide guitar (passed away March 22, 2005, aged 57) Craig MacGregor - bass (passed away February 9, 2018, aged 68) Roger Earl - drums (currently still alive, age 73) Total Time = 76:34 Set list 01 Intro 02 Fool For The City 03 My Babe 04 Stone Blue 05 Drivin' Wheel 06 It Hurts Me Too 07 Honey Hush 08 Guitar Solo 09 I Just Want To Make Love To You 10 Home In My Hand 11 Slow Ride 12 Chateau Lafitte '59 Boogie -
Soundboard 9.2 - There are a couple of cuts throughout but this is pretty darn good, and of course it’s with Steve Vai so there’s plenty of shred. Frank Zappa 1981.11.15 Baltimore, Md The Performers: Frank Zappa - vocals, guitar Steve Vai - guitar, vocals Ray White - guitar, vocals Chad Wackerman - drums Ed Mann - percussion Scott Thunes - bass, vocals Tommy Mars - keyboards Disc 1 (early show)- -Yo Mama

Audience 7.8 - The venue had a pool in front of the stage, so it stands to reason audience taping had to be midway back making for a not so great sound quality although listenable (not distorted, not horribly muddled) and historic (a unique venue that played host to top tier artists in their prime). The tapers sound like a couple of English gents speaking throughout the show in their proper English which makes for a fun commentary of the show…I mean, it’s half the fun of this recording! A neat little piece of rock history here. Not essential, but kinda neat.

Audience 8.7 - Very clear, and good atmosphere which really helps this music a lot. It seems the music is more dynamic with the sense of excitement the crowd gives. They had a huge following, the audience knows the band’s music very well. The Palalido, Milano, Italy, May 27th 1981.

Audience 8.4 Sourced from three different tape recordings, all audience, to make a complete show. Not that bad, but you aren’t listening to this for the high fidelity anyway. This was a celebration, a monumental event, as were pretty much all Stones shows from 1972 on. So, yeah, rowdy crowd, noise, all that and more. But, you know, I listen to these and I still enjoy them a lot. It’s the event that I hear, I really don’t care if I don’t get every detailed note I mean it’s the sloppy Stones isn’t it?

Soundboard 9.6 - The Stones never sounded as good as they do here, or, well, they actually have but this is damn good! They are playing the entire Sticky Fingers album, something they have never done before. Fonda Theater, Los Angeles, CA. May 20, 2015- Brown Sugar

Audience 8.4 - A loud and raucous tape (and show) that is a rollicking good time despite some minor hiss and lack of precise clarity. It’s not bad though, I mean, it’s a true capture and delivers the vibe and excitement of the evening. The Runaways 'Live In Norway' Chateau Neuf, Oslo, Norway Thursday June 22nd, 1978 Track List: 01: School Days 02: California Paradise 03: I Wanna Be Where The Boys Are 04: Gotta Get Out 05: Waiting For The Night 06: Little Sister 07: Come On 08: Drive Me Wild 09: Wait For Me 10: Alright You Guys 11: I Love Playing With Fire 12: American Night 13: Queens Of Noise 14: Wasted 15: Rock And Roll 16: Wild Thing Line-up: Joan Jett - Lita Ford - Sandy West - Vicki Blue. -
Audience 9.2 - A big and warm sound here, with excellent clarity and dynamics. The music at full blast gets just a bit of overload (not distortion, but just a sense of the wall of sound thing) all in all it is safe to say this one is highly recommended. Yes December 01, 1974 Louisiana State University Baton Rouge, Louisiana Disc 1: 1.01 Firebird Suite (2.47) 1.02 Sound Chaser (9.45) 1.03 Close To The Edge (20.20) 1.04 To Be Over (9.39) 1.05 The Gates Of Delirium (22.17) 1.06 And You And I (9.20) Disc 2: 2.01 Ritual (24.54) 2.02 Roundabout (9.02) -
Audience 8.8 - A very good recording that has an excellent high end clarity, low end is not as sharply defined but is definitely “big” and can be felt in your gut. A welcome addition to the Who collection for sure, especially since this was early in the tour when the band was still playing However Much I Booze.

Audience 9.2 - A wide and natural sounding recording. Music here is very present, very clear, and the atmosphere is palpable. This show in not complete either, missing the Ravi Shankar set (so what). George is not horse, he is just dark.

FM Broadcast 9.5 - Even though this is excellent broadcast quality, there are some moments where the sound kind of briefly drops in level perhaps due to inconsistencies with the venue P.A. system (that is to say, the sound man has to quickly lower or raise the master volume on occasion) but it doesn’t hurt this show a bit.

Audience 9.1 - Excellent stuff, because you get a clean, well balanced capture with all the best elements of a live atmosphere. Two songs ran into some problems, like a muffled sound, where maybe the taper had to hide the mic, but it recovers. Very enjoyable!

Audience 8.8 - A very nice effort, sounds like the taper had pretty good gear. I hear a little bit of distortion in a very specific place in the middle band, not anything to ruin the experience but it is present and sounds like someone made an effort to clean it up in remastering. This is a worthwhile listen.
