Audience 8.1 - Yes this is ranked pretty low on the sound quality scale, but it’s not a disaster because this is actually a full point or more better than the previous version of this legendary gig. It’s not unlistenable, and the proof is that you can hear every word Gabriel says during his stories. Extensive work in repairing and remastering this from a 1st generation tape made all the difference. Rediscover the earliest known live Genesis recording because for historical purposes there is no more significant a recording than this.

Soundboard 9.2 - Great if not a tad flat (as most soundboards can be) -
Audience 9.2 - Very punchy up front, clean, sweet levels and great mix. Wonderful! -

Audience 9.5 - Listening to this recording made me think for a second I was listening to classic Gabriel era sans Peter Gabriel (he’s backstage nursing cold) ha ha! What I mean is, the performance and setlist is reminiscent of an earlier time because the band seem to be playing the songs as if for the first time. It’s just great to hear – and the sound quality is top shelf.

Audience 9.2 - Great dynamics and amazing atmosphere! This is certainly one for every kind of collector, even casually Genesis fans would love this. A special gig.

Audience 8.6 - Solid, with some tape squeals here and there about halfway in that do go away. A good solid recording here. -
Audience 8.7 - Sound resides somewhere in the mid range and does not feature well defined high end but does have a warm, round bottom to it. The mix does not favor any one instrument, it’s rather even, and all in all the listening experience, while not exceptional in any way, is also not offensive.

Audience 9.5 - Wonderful in every way, as good as an audience recording can be from 1975. -
Audience 8.0 - Reasonably clear but there’s that lack of wideness that characterizes a recording captured with condenser mics on cheap decks. But it is not bad for a 1972 recording at all. All can be heard! -
Audience 9.2 - A lively, airy, and detailed (especially with percussion and vocals) recording. I don’t think they could have done much better than this because the taper position is right in the sweet spot.

Soundboard 9.7 - Does not suffer the sdbrd doldrums, it is loud and vibrant. Great! -
Audience 8.9 - One of the better Lamb recordings almost as good as Groningen but it’s a bit boomier maybe. Still, gotta love this one, it’s really like being there. -

Soundboard 9.4 - An expertly mixed affair, with a particularly lovely and warm vocal presence. Pretty thumping bass too!

Audience 7.0 - Compressed sound, but it’s a killer show and the first time Gabriel wears the fox costume on stage. Historic.
