Audience 8.7 - A loud, loud tape recording that gets right up to the bleeding edge of break up at full volume but thankfully does not go off the edge…too much! So, I have to say about this one, it’s terribly exciting because it has a super realistic feel where you can sense the size of the venue, the air of excitement in the crowd, pretty much all the hallmarks of an exceptional capture. It does get too loud in places, so be warned. -
Audience 7.7 - A rain shortened show, recorded from what sounds like around the middle of the stadium. So, it’s a little distant, a little muddled, not that great but you do get to hear everything on the stage. When I say muddled I do not mean it is muddy or murky necessarily, just that the sound is not that clear. I think collectors will want this because it is unusual, that the show was stopped for rain – although they did play more, just did not play for as long as they usually did. -
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 8.6 - A strong performance with an especially creepy CWTAE, and the tape showcases all of it clearly, and with power. Very slight bit of breaking up at the most extreme volume but it hangs together, and the quieter parts are sublime with a very clear organ/keys which is nice. A good one! -
Audience 8.9 - Clear and plenty of detail here with a few problems showing up only very occasionally. One thing I noticed is there is a bit of what sounds like the music is moving around overhead, what this could be is the quad system and the mic is picking up the sound as it rotates around the venue. Otherwise it’s some kind of phasing but it’s not too annoying, just wish I knew exactly what it was. -
Audience 8.6 - A nice warm sound with loads of atmosphere, but no annoying echo or boominess! Great for 1972, although there is some underlying hiss (not too much). -
Audience 8.8 - A very clear recording that lacks a lot of depth, but delivers in other areas that make for a very decent listen. -
Audience 8.0 - A subdued recording that occupies a pleasant bandwidth for the ears but does not venture into dynamics high or low. It’s very interesting hearing these formative versions of Animals tracks, this recording does deliver enough clarity and separation of instruments to be able to appreciate the happenings on stage – and because Pink Floyd is not a “bombastic” band, you do get periods of music that rate in the mid 8’s so a good, not great, tape. -
Audience 9.4 - An excellent recording featuring one unusual distinction in that guitars are hard panned to one side making for a unique listening experience. It kind of adds to the atmosphere actually. A great one! -
Audience 8.8 - Long admired for how clean and clear it is, even though it sounds like it originates from the middle of the hall. Echo is minimal, and atmosphere is plentiful with occasional taper chatter (not much). There’s a little bit of “static” in the recording, possibly because of high recording levels on the original master, but over the years this has been remastered and Equalized so that most artifacts are minimized. -
Audience 9.3 - One of those “must have” titles that is quite necessary for any serious Pink Floyd collector. While this recording is not perfect, it does have exceptional atmosphere and each instrument is distinct. The overall timbre of the recording is in the mid range, and sometimes at full volume there’s just a touch of overcrowding but there are what I call “the intangibles” of what makes a recording rate 9.0 or higher and this tape has them. -
Audience variable 7.4 – 7.0 - Tape is clearer during the band’s spacier segments but at full volume it gets somewhat cluttered and muddy. Collectors will want this for the unusual set list. -
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 7.9 - A little more cluttered than the Copenhagen show, still this remaster reveals much more to the ear than anything that surfaced in the past. Another absolutely crucial tape recording that cements the bona fide legend that was Syd Barrett. -
Audience 8.2 - As good as one could hope for, this recording being about as important and critical to the legend that is Pink Floyd as anything they did after Syd. Actually, everything is pretty clear here, and surprisingly you have Syd Barrett actually performing rather well at this gig. A MUST have. -
Audience 8.8 - A great stereo recording from the 5th row back, center. Occasional mic drop out in the 2nd half of the show - fixed but tape went mono for a bit. A really nice and immersive concert recording.
