Audience 8.5 -
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! -
CD 1 - FM Radio Broadcast 8.8 - A bit of tape hiss is present but this is a great great show! Lovely performance and decent sound. CD 2 - Audience 7.9 - A tape that went from a dismal 7.2 rating to a very decent 7.9 thanks to some painstaking mastering and restoration work. It was unbelievably hissy but that was mostly removed without sacrificing anything. Comparison was made and the results speak for themselves. -
Audience 8.6 - A very clear, surprisingly so, open air recording made with what sounds like really decent gear. Every now and then the volume fluctuates but it sounds to me like they are fiddling with the levels, it usually gets back up to proper levels after a second or two and it’s not on every song. -
Audience 7.8 and Audience 6.9 - The second gig is for historical reference as the sound is not great. -
FM Radio Broadcast 9.2 -
Pro recording 9.5 - Sizzling hot everything is expertly mixed! -
Soundboard 9.7 - A deft touch is what it took to make such a pleasant mix. Everything is where it should be, and the overall sound is something you might find on officially released records. Top shelf. -
Pro Radio Broadcast 9.5 -
Audience 8.9 - Fantastic! -
Audience 8.8 - Wonderful and dynamic, a great show!...Selling England. -
Audience 7.6 - Obviously taken from a master tape, it’s a good recording that suffers from some kind of sonic limitation with the mic itself judging by the sort of squashed sound and slightly annoying quality to the timbre. Technically speaking the show is well captured and depending on one’s tolerance to the particular offending frequency, can be quite enjoyable (use an EQ to notch out the bad frequency). -
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. -
Audience 9.5 - Wonderful in every way, as good as an audience recording can be from 1975. -
Audience 8.5 - Good solid recording of what sounds like it may be an outdoor show. Atmosphere is great! Love it. -
Audience 8.7 - Good strong and clean! Lovely! -
Audience 8.4 - Good mix, everything clear and strong albeit somewhat one dimensional. -
2 Shows from Edinburgh: First show - Audience 8.0 (Clear, but a little thin) & Second show - Audience 7.8 -
Audience 7.7 - A wide stereo feel, a touch of that large hall sound, pretty clear with a decent mix. Some audience chatter. -
Audience 7.0 -
Soundboard 9.3 - Not a pure board, there is some ambiance mixed in from the audience. I think this was a broadcast, it’s quite good! -
Audience 7.3 - Distant and narrow, but seems like a good mastering can fix some of the limitations. Needs a stereo widening and some punch in the mids and highs. -
Audience 9.0 - This is a wonderful recording in almost every way. The sound balance is impeccable. The only complaint is a little crispiness when hard cymbal crashing, otherwise CRANK it! -
Audience 9.2 - Very punchy up front, clean, sweet levels and great mix. Wonderful! -
Soundboard 9.7 -
Soundboard 9.2 - Great if not a tad flat (as most soundboards can be) -
Soundboard 9.7 - A good, bright sounding board and not completely lifeless and flat. -
Audience 8.5 - A touch of tape saturation but pretty powerful sounding and the drums sound great! -
Audience 7.6 - Has a kind of thin quality to it even though you can hear everything on stage. Sounds like it needs a nice big punch in the middle, someone needs to remaster this one. Not crappy, just needs a mastering job. -
Soundboard 8.8 -
Audience 8.9 - Very nice and clear with the keyboards more up front this time. Bass sounds sweet too. A great recording!
