• Aud 7.5 - A very decent and clear recording from perhaps a little further back in the hall than one would prefer, but guitar is prominent, then drums and bass with Jimi vocals a little bit behind the noise. Also, I am glad the sound has a little separation, enough to discern everything that is going on, so big plus there!
  • Aud 7.4  - Lo-Fi sound to be sure but the upside is that it’s not a sludge wall of sound mess here. Guitar is reasonably clear and louder than everything else by far as it sort of cuts right through this tapes’ audio spectrum. Drums peak through the haze next followed by distinguishable bass notes, and Jimi is remarkably clear as far as hearing every word he sings. Let your ears adjust to the narrow bandwidth and you are going to enjoy this show a lot more. It has many good qualities to offset a lack of sonics. Less loud songs shine through the clouds.
  • CD 1 Aud 6.8 This one is pretty rough, but if you got Vol. 1, than this set completes the Texas picture (with the exception of the Houston gigs).  CD 2 Aud 7.2
  • CD 1 Aud 8.2 Nice version here, must be a very low gen tape source. CD 2 Aud 8.3 I like this recording a lot, it’s a touch overloaded but you hear a very realistic sound, pretty close to what you may have heard standing close to the mains. Maybe a little bit of tape saturation (not distortion, two different things!), otherwise this one is very fun to hear putting you right in the middle of it all.
  • Studio quality with some tape hiss 8.7
  • Aud 8.8 - This recording sounds hella-killa man!  Bonus material on the other disc is also very excellent. A fantastic collector item that you do not want to ignore if you do not have this material.
  • Aud 7.2-7.5 - A fluctuating rating because I can hear the potential for this tape as it depends on what he is playing where it is average and where it is pretty decent. Tape noise is a factor, and that can be removed (modern technology). Otherwise, Jimi is present, especially his singing.
  • Aud 8.3 - A loud tape, but surprisingly clear and enjoyable. Comes from a very low gen or master source, very crisp in every frequency, as if optimized for a commercial release – must be a remaster because I do not remember this being so good.
  • SDBRD 9.0 and Aud 7.8  - What you have here are two big upgrades. The first is a well travelled sdbrd that had problems that were never addressed, but should have been. Mainly, hiss and uneven volume. Those have been fixed here, and the results are spectacular!  The second show was not terrible but got little respect mainly because of terrible tape noise. Thanks to modern technology, that has been fixed. Now, this tape is MUCH easier to listen to, even though it still gets cluttered during very loud passages.
  • Aud 7.3 – 7.5  - This recording ranges due to the fact that it is a 3 source merge. When it is at a 7.5 or even higher, it is pretty good stuff, like Red House for instance really shines. The weaker parts of the show just lack some definition and clarity but you can hear everything on stage, with some atmosphere too. Overall it is a special show, you get that sense from the bands performance.
  • Aud 6.9 - Not an impossible one, for instance, vocals and guitar are here, although in a not-so-hi-fi form. That being said, the guitar bombastics in this show are second to none. He’s really letting it all fly, so I figure he was getting a good sound from his backline and he was in a terrific mood. Fiery show and worth getting for that alone.
  • Aud 8.3 - Sometimes a touch subdued, but overall quite a thrill ride. A very clear tape with some great low end to it. Jimi seems just a little buried vocal wise but you will not care because the guitar is extremely satisfying since it rings out clear during solos. A great tape in many ways really.
  • Aud 9.0 - One of THE BEST audience tapes yet to be officially released by Dagger. You just have to have this if you collect Jimi.
  • Aud 8.4 - Oh how I love this show!  Why?  It’s reasonably clear with only a bit of upper level distortion – but man, this just blows EVERYTHING away!  The set list for one, it’s got some little gems on it, and the playing – YUP – he’s killin’ it. What else?  Oh, a very intimate feel, just has a sort of immediate impact kind of sound. Mitch and Noel are spot on, Jimi feeds off of their energy as well as the audience. A MUST!
