Various Sources 9.0 - I give this a high rating for many reasons, as it can be easily assumed that the sound quality will vary being a compilation. The producers were smart to put it together this way, I found it to play much like a legitimate record company release. The worst of the recordings is in itself not even that bad, in the context you are hearing it in, it takes on new significance. I myself did not realize how few times some of these songs were played live, so having a collection like this makes sense. I enjoyed it immensely. So will you.

Even if you're a collector of every individual show this is still a keeper to have, one reason being the unreleased track on disc 5, "Nowhere Else To Turn", sure it's a Ray Wilson-led Genesis track, but one of the very few unreleased studio tracks by Genesis to have leaked to the collector's. Disc One: 1970-1972 01 Looking For Someone (February 22nd, 1970 BBC Radio) 02 The Light (March 7th, 1971 - later morphed into "Lillywhite Lilith" and "The Colony Of Slippermen") 03 Twilight Alehouse (February 22nd, 1972 Civic Hall, Dunstable, U.K.) 04 Harlequin (March 4th, 1972 Technical College, Watford, England) 05 Bye Bye Johnny (April 14th, 1972 Palasport, Pavia, Italy - early version of "Can-Utility And The Coastliners") 06 Happy The Man (April 18th, 1972 Piper Club, Rome, Italy) 07 Going Out To Get You (April 18th, 1972 Piper Club, Rome, Italy) 08 One-Handed Drum Solo (June 28th, 1972 Town Hall, Watford, England) 09 Can-Utility And The Coastliners (August 20th, 1972 Piper 2000 Club, Via Reggio, Italy) 10 Seven Stones (August 22nd, 1972 Teatro Alcione, Genoa, Italy - rarely ever played live) Disc Two: 1972-1975 01 Supper's Ready (November 18th, 1972 Imperial College, London, England) 02 Harold The Barrel (January 20th, 1974 Palasport, Reggio Emilia, Italy - only 2 live versions exist) 03 Horizons (May 4th, 1974 Academy of Music, NYC) 04 Watcher Of The Skies (January 24th, 1975 Shrine Auditorium, Los Angeles) 05 It (January 24th, 1975 Shrine Auditorium, Los Angeles) 06 The Musical Box (January 24th, 1975 Shrine Auditorium, Los Angeles) 07 The Waiting Room (May 2nd, 1975 Hippodrome, Birmingham, England) Disc Three: 1977-1978 01 Lillywhite Lillith - The Waiting Room - Wot Gorilla (January 1st, 1977 Rainbow, London, England) 02 All In A Mouse's Night (January 2nd, 1977 Rainbow, London, England) 03 Inside And Out (June 24th, 1977 Earl's Court, London, England) 04 Down And Out (June 7th, 1978 Scandinavium, Gothenburg, Sweden) 05 Supper's Ready (June 14th, 1978 Westfalenhalle, Dortmund, Germany) 06 Ballad Of Big (July 29th, 1978 MSG, New York City) 07 I Know What I Like (July 29th, 1978 MSG, New York City) 08 Dancing With The Moonlit Knight - Musical Box (October 13th, 1978 Uptown Theater, Chicago, Illinois) Disc Four: 1980-1984 01 Back In NYC (June 29th, 1980 MSG, New York City) 02 Me And Virgil (September 27, 1981 Velodromo Anoeta, San Sebastian, Spain) 03 Like It Or Not (November 30th, 1981 Capital Center, Landover, Maryland) 04 The Knife (December 23rd, 1981 NEC, Birmingham, England) 05 No Reply At All (featuring Phenix Horns) (August 22nd, 1982 Forest Hills, New York City) 06 Paperlate (featuring Phenix Horns) (August 22nd, 1982 Forest Hills, New York City) 07 11th Earl Of Mar / Squonk / Firth Of Fifth (November 10th, 1983 Mecca Arena, Milwaukee, Wisconsin) 08 11th Earl Of Mar / Behind The Lines / Firth Of Fifth / Musical Box (January 7th, 1984 McNichols Arena, Denver, Colorado) Disc Five: 1986-1998 01 In The Cage / ...In That Quiet Earth / Supper's Ready (October 15th, 1986 Forum, Los Angeles) 02 Mama (May 9th, 1992 Astrodome, Houston, Texas) 03 Carpet Crawlers (October 23rd, 1992 Mayflower Theater, Southampton, England) 04 Nowhere Else To Turn (Unreleased 1997 B-Side - Ray Wilson on lead vocals) 05 Small Talk (December 13th, 1997 RTL Studios, Paris, France) 06 Thats All (January 23rd, 1998 Bray Studios, London, England - only Ray Wilson version) 07 Hold On My Heart (January 29th, 1998 Sport Hall, Budapest, Hungary)

Audience 9.1 - A beautiful recording with a terrific drum sound, and expansive, atmospheric ensemble mix of all instruments especially keyboards to pair with that drum sound. This might be one you go to frequently. Genesis 1978.07.29 Madison Square Garden, N.Y.C.   The Set List: Disc 1 01 -intro 02 -Eleventh Earl of Mar 03 -In The Cage 04 -Burning Rope 05 -Ripples 06 -Deep In The Motherlode 07 -Fountains of Salmacus 08 -Ballad Of Big 09 -One For The Vine   Disc 2 10 -Squonk 11 -Intro to Say It's Alright Joe 12 -Say It's Alright Joe 13 -The Lady Lies 14 -Cinema Show 15 -Afterglow 16 -Follow You, Follow Me 17 -Dance On A Volcano 18 -Drum Duet 19 -Los Endos 20 -I Know What I Like (with Peter Gabriel)

Audience 9.5 - Superb fidelity, and as always a fine performance is delivered with that trademark menacing keyboard sound. At times it could be confused with electric guitar, which is exactly what I think Gianni Leone was going for since the start of the band in 1972. Il Balletto Di Bronzo 2011-11-05 Kawasaki Japan, Italian Progressive Rock Festival Club Citta' Kawasaki, Kanagawa, Japan 5th November 2011 01. Deliquio Viola 02. Napoli Sotterranea 03.

Terzo Incontro 09. ending Personnel Gianni Leone (vocals, keyboards) Ivano Salvatori (bass) Adolfo Ramundo (drums)

CD 1 Audience 8.8 - A very good, bright, well balanced recording. Most welcomed because for me, it’s this time period (actually 1970-73) of the band I like the most. CD 2 Audience 8.1 - A somewhat flat, and a little bit muffled recording. I can still hear everything, it lacks dynamic range, but I did not find it annoyingly so, just when compared to disc 1 this one sounds lifeless. Gentle Giant Tour of Italy 1972 Disc One Bologna February 2, 1972 1. Intro 2. Alucard 3. Funny Ways 4. Nothing At All 5. Plain Truth 6. The Queen Disc Two Rome Feb. 1972 1. Alucard 2. Funny Ways 3. Nothing At All 4. Plain Truth

Audience 8.6 - This is an untouched, raw transfer straight from the reels, and as such it will sound like it could be MUCH better sonically with some professional sound re-mastering. Many people will no doubt want to hear it as it was recorded, and it is good, it’s really pretty good, but what I would prefer is a sonic facelift because I think this one really deserves it. It’s still a great show. Pink Floyd 1970-11-14 Ernst-Merck Halle Hamburg Germany disc 1 01 -Astronomy Domine 02 -Fat Old Sun 03 -Cymbaline 04 -Atom Heart Mother 05 -Interstellar Overdrive disc 2 01 -The Embryo 02 -Green Is The Colour 03 -Careful With That Axe, Eugene 04 -Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun 05 -Saucerful Of Secrets

Audience 9.1 - A really fine recording and a great show this is! Some minor limitations present during very heavy passages where the equipment fails to maintain the clarity we get used to during most of this show – but it’s not a deal-breaker at all because the recording remains powerful without distorting which is critical to the success of the tapers’ efforts here. You might lose a touch of vocals and some clarity (a little bit) but that will not detract from the pleasure you will get from this show.

Audience 8.4 - Another one of those audience recordings that, while being listenable and clear, does not have a great separation of instruments or vocal clarity. That being said, this recording is certainly worth having, because it’s not a pile of muddy crap – it’s very listenable. Features a packed set list too. ZZ Top Broome County Veterans Memorial Arena, Binghamton, NY March 8, 1977 Band line-up Billy Gibbons - guitar, vocals Dusty Hill - bass, vocals Frank Beard - drums, percussion Total Time = 01:28:56 Disc One 01 Thunderbird 02 Chevrolet 03 Precious & Grace 04 Waitin' On The Bus 05 Jesus Just Left Chicago 06 Enjoy & Get It On 07 Pan Am Highway Blues 08 It's Only Love 09 Ten Dollar Man 10 Movin' On Down The Line 11 Heard It On The X 12 Balinese 13 Arrested For Driving While Blind 14 Nasty Dogs & Funky Kings Disc Two 15 She's A Heartbreaker 16 Beer Drinkers & Hell Raisers 17 Blue Jean Blues 18 Rattlesnake Shake 19 La Grange 20 Mexican Blackbird 21 Backdoor Love Affair 22 Tush 23 Goin' Down To Mexico 24 Mellow Down Easy

Pro FM Broadcast 9.2 - Both sets are great, both in performance and sound quality.  Really great musicianship! I also found myself really enjoying the songs, since I was only very familiar with their evergreen hit “Green Grass and High Tides”.  I saw these guys in 1980 and they were great but I was so young I just can’t remember the songs.
