| Audience 9.6 - What makes this such an excellent recording imho is that the sound is not only really balanced, but mix-wise it is also superb. I mean, the punch of the bass, the crispness of the drums, the airiness of the keys, guitar right in the pocket…fuck what else do you want? It’s just excellence and your ears be the judge but mine are pretty spot on usually so…yeah, get this one. |

Audience 8.4 - A rather decent tape that delivers a clear representation of the music happening on stage. I found that maybe the levels were a tad hot, but I prefer that over low levels that you end up having to crank up causing terrible hiss. This one is not suffering at all from that problem! -
Audience 7.2 - Sound not good but artwork is spectacular. For collectors only. -
Audience 8.8 - A strong recording, clear and a good mix allowing you to hear all of the on stage happenings. A small amount of hiss is present, but this is inconsequential especially while the music is playing. A real good one and a real good tour. -
Audience 8.8 - The taping duo responsible for this (and many others) one really knew what they were doing. There’s a few from this venue that unfortunately have overloaded levels, but not this one. This is a smooth ride, well worth the price of a ticket! -
Audience 7.7 - Lo-fi but surprisingly clear with a good biting guitar tone, and solid bass. Drums kind of buried. -
Audience 9.6 - Hard to tell if this is Soundboard or Audience, it is that good. My best guess is that it is a Pro Audience, very good gear - probably open reel to reel. -
BBC - Soundboard 9.6 - Paris Theatre, London. Another personal favorite of mine. -
Various sources various quality but mostly very good stuff here and overall very good Audio as well. As far as live compilations go, I can highly recommend this one. Probably should be a must own for fans and a good starter for those first discovering them. One of my personal favorites. -

Audience 8.7 - A little rough around the edges but surprisingly good for the vintage. -
Soundboard 9.3 -
Audience 8.4 - Very good job here by an astute taper who knew to capture the opening band as well – also featured here! -
Audience 8.8 - Perhaps lacking in sonic depth, it makes up for it in clarity and detail, the kind that allows you to hear the nuance because this band had nuance in spades. -
Soundboard 9.5 - A wonderful set, a great board tape. If this is your introduction to Townes music, get ready to be greatly impressed with a singer-songwriter who has all the tools. Great lyrics, great delivery, great guitar playing. He was the total package.
