• Audience 8.6 - Solid, with some tape squeals here and there about halfway in that do go away. A good solid recording here.
  • Audience 8.3 - Not a common tape, the sound holds up well throughout, so taper knew what he was doing.
  • Soundboard 9.3 - Peter sounds superb here, the tape highlights him in particular. Great!
  • Audience 7.7 - A real “middle of the crowd” recording. You get to eavesdrop on some conversations while Genesis perform their hits. Now, I will say this, there’s a lot of music to sink into here, it’s not THAT bad really. Give it a chance.
  • Soundboard 8.8 - A fine performance of The Lamb here, sound quality is very good and mix is very good. You can enjoy this one, more than once!
  • Audience 7.2 - Better gear would have helped this taper – when the band is quieter it is very listenable the problem is the bandwidth collapses during volume and there is already a narrow sound field to this tape so…do the math.
  • Audience 7.8 - Not terrible by any means, but lacks a clear distinctive sharpness even though it is a relatively clean tape (some tape hiss but not too bad). It may be that it was recorded far back from the stage, maybe in the middle somewhere, but it does have a cool atmosphere, and you do hear every instrument well, and at quieter moments the sound is not bad at all. I like this, I can get into it, even though there are better tapes of the Lamb shows.
  • Audience 7.6 - This tape is very clear but has low levels and is somewhat narrow in bandwidth. By turning the volume up, and adding some personal touches on EQ you can lift the experience to a little higher level.
  • Audience 8.6 - Right down in there with the crowd, listening to the audience listening to the band. The band and their music sound terrific, the audio quality is actually pretty darn good, bright, not distorted, maybe not as full on the bottom end but the bass itself is very round but not thumping. Drums are crisp and well defined. This is actually a good recording!
  • Audience 9.0 - Tremendous atmosphere gives you a crystal clear impression of what this gig was like, and it is very clean sounding like a master source was used. Fantastic experience with the only minor complaint being that there are two songs missing…it happens.
  • Audience 7.4 - My oh my what a difference technology makes! I remember in the early days of my collecting music, and I mean on cassette tapes mind you, this show was one that I just would not even listen to out of curiosity. It was “file under abysmal” and that was it. Now, this new transfer from the master, and a prudent digital re-mastering has brought out actual music here! In fact, it’s not even that horrendous and you will actually listen to it. One brief moment really struck me, and it was the last fading seconds of the recording when you hear the enthusiastic shouts from the audience as the intense sounding Hammond organ notes fade out. This reminded me of just how powerful a Genesis show was in 1972, and we do not appreciate that because there are no analog recordings that can accurately reproduce that intense sound. We have to use a little imagination, but sometimes we do catch glimpses of it.
  • Soundboard 9.6 - Just fantastic! I have to believe this was recorded for possible future official release, it’s just that good.
  • Audience 8.7 - It’s a small to mid-size venue and a loud all-girl metal band so the idea here is to just have some fun. If you are wanting pristine clarity and dynamics, you have come to the wrong place. If you want polished, precision metal, um, yeah, whatever pal. If you wanna rock with some veteran metal chicks and get sloppy drunk, well, step right up!
