Audience 8.2 - Very live, with that telltale large hall reverb but smoking hot show and audio is real good and very electric. -
Pro Radio Broadcast 9.8 - When hearing a recording of a great band in this fidelity, it reveals much more about the artist than what you might learn just listening to their hits on the radio. For instance, thier music is much more layered and nuanced once you hear this show, even live the band is so tight, so professional, that stuff is going on you don’t even get from the album tracks.

Audience 8.7 - A little on the upper midrange/high side but VERY clean and crisp with very pronounced and clear vocals especially. Really great! -
Soundboard 9.7 - Not all board tapes are exceptional, even if they sound good. What makes for an exceptional one is whether it sounds “live” or not, and this one most definitely does!

Audience/SDB 8.9/8.5/9.2/8.7 - A mixed bag but all in all I found it to be very interesting and sound quality held up respectably considering how rare some of this material is. Anyone who enjoys this early, almost primitively raw and savage Fleetwood Mac will surely want this collection. Fleetwood Mac The 1969 Tapes Disc 1 College Of Distributive Arts & Trades London, UK.

Audience 8.7 and 8.8 - Both of these recordings are quite good, and most welcomed. Each feature Bob Welch, although the ’72 also has Danny Kirwan still on board (but not for much longer). You can tell he is drunk, but even with all the stuff happening on stage (some clearly audible), the band still manage to put on a good show.

Pro Video Source 8.5 - These sound like they were taken from video tape sources and have the telltale compression characteristics. These are actually several different broadcasts during the year 1976, with the final four tracks coming from UC Santa Barbara, which is also the best sounding of the batch. -

Richfield 1980 Audience 9.7 - Reaching damn near the pinnacle of how good an audience recording can be. The atmosphere, it’s breathtaking. A genuinely immersive experience akin to travelling back in time and being in the front row…yes it is THAT GREAT! Los Angeles 1980 Audience 9.5 - Depth, space, dynamics, detail…these are the hallmarks of an expertly recorded bootleg. That is what this is. Period.

Pro FM Broadcast 9.6 - I really like the guitar tone here, a bit more grit, sounds less like a mega-hit stadium band and more like a very talented jam band.
