Audience 8.4 - Very clear recording that sits just a little further back in the spectrum that I would prefer but that helps provide more atmosphere so that is the trade off. It’s a decent recording you can enjoy. -
Audience 8.4 - Very decent, with good clarity on guitars, some tape noise present but not intruding on the sounds of the music. Sometimes this gets a little over saturated but not to distortion, just more in a little cluttering but this is still way too good of a gig, and a very decent capture, so I can’t slag on it just because there are some minor flaws. -
Audience 7.4 - Would be much better with just a little bit of remastering because there is plenty of low end to work with, and even though the high end is muffled you can add some brightness to this, remove some tape hiss, and this show could be a real keeper. As it is now, for collectors only. -
Audience 8.4 - Great fun this one is! I know because I was there! -

Audience 7.5 - This is direct from the open reel master tape. There is some limitation to the capture (slight oversaturation) but I would say this is a pretty fascinating document. -

Foghat 7.4 ~ Robin Trower 7.5 ... Interesting concept, including the opening act and headliner in a 2 disc set - but it makes sense to me and it works spectacularly here. The quality is decent, I rate conservatively, you can really sink your ears (and teeth) into both sets but I give the slight edge to Trower's set as he was headlining and therefore probably got better service from sound guy. -
Audience 9.0 - Rated very high for the excellent mid range punch where the guitar tone is magical. -
Audience 9.0 and Audience 8.6 - The Fillmore West show is a revelation. This has been floating around mislabeled as Winterland 69, and in horrible quality. This is the actual venue, and comes from the original master and sounds incredible! The Boston show is also real nice sounding, with an immediate sound, with some minor tape artifacts present. A great two-fer here, vintage ’69. Free never sounded so good! -
Audience 9.2 - Very punchy up front, clean, sweet levels and great mix. Wonderful! -
