Audience 7.8 - A must have for any serious Rush fan. One of the best early shows you will ever hear, and I mean on many levels not just sound quality – this one is good but not great – but man oh man, just get this and you will know why I rave about it. -
Audience 8.3 - One of those tapes that captures the power of the band, but does not deliver crisp definition…that being said, you must listen to this all the way through. It’s been cleaned up as best as could be and it delivers MUCH more audio than it ever did before prior to modern mastering techniques. A worthy addition to collections. When you arrive to the drum solo section, you will hear what this tape had the potential to present, it sounds great.

Audience 8.7 - At times the quality is better but even so, it’s not that bad with my only knock being the stage mix itself, where sometimes the guitars blend too much with everything so the separation of instruments is not the best it could be. I think the energy of the show is through the roof, with a good crowd and the band responding in kind. A fun listen. -
Audience 8.4 - A great find here! So few Power Windows tour shows out there, and this one, while not a “great” recording, is pretty clear and has a lot of atmosphere. Does sound maybe midway in the venue, so you get a little of that “wash” or stadium “verb” effect but to my delight the bass notes are distinct and not just a boominess. It’s maybe the guitar that is slightly lost, with Geddy also being a touch behind the sound rather than in front. Overall, it is still a good listen and well worth having. -
Audience 9.0 -A lovely, intimate sounding show. Now, don't get me wrong, there seems to be a large audience but the quality of the capture feels smaller, closer, warmer than your average midsize venue.Ry Cooder and The Moula Banda Rhythm Aces Mayfair Theatre Santa Monica, CA March 16, 1987 Late Show Disc 1 01 Showtime Intro 02 Little Sister 03 Smack Dab In the Middle 04 Go Home Girl 05 If Walls Could Talk 06 Money Honey 07 How Can A Poor Man Stand Such Times And Live 08 One Meat Ball Disc 2 09 Women Will Rule The World 10 Jesus On The Mainline 11 He'll Have To Go 13 Crazy 'Bout an Automobile (Every Woman I Know) 14 Canción Mixteca 15 La Bamba - Twist And Shout Jim Keltner - drums Ry Cooder - guitar, vocals Van Dyke Parks - keys Jorge Calderon - bass Flaco Jimenez - accordion Miguel Cruz - percussion Steve Douglas - sax George Bohannon - trombone Bobby King - tenor Terry Evans - baritone Arnold McCuller - tenor Willie Green Jr - bass -

Sealed original. 1990 Sanctuary UK -
Dallas based Christian proto-metal band that recorded loads of material and performed live but never actually released anything to the public. Two discs worth of master quality studio demos, and live, tracks. Very competent band that were obviously heavily influenced by the NWOBHM groups especially Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, and maybe a healthy dose of classics like Thin Lizzy and Wishbone Ash with the dual guitar action a lot of the songs feature. Top shelf! -
Soundboard 9.1 - I love this one, great performance and great atmosphere. The band must have recorded a lot of shows on this tour, maybe they were trying to get the penultimate show on tape for the Live Lotus LP release. -

Audience 8.8 - Taper had good gear for this one, you can tell there is some sense of space, and the music has a chance to float above you. A rather sweet recording. -
Audience 8.7 - Almost every recording from this venue sounds like a large, cavernous venue no matter where the taper is sitting. Thankfully this one is not as much, and the music is just that much more immediate and clear, so for this venue I would say this tape shines.

Audience 9.1 - A very well done audience tape is the source, and the atmospherics are nice and immersive. Sound quality is right in the pocket! Show was unfortunately cut short due to severe weather, but there’s enough music here to satisfy regardless.
