Soundboard 9.2 - A good atmosphere for a board. It’s cool to hear this early performance. -
Audience 9.1 - Sounds very close and hard to tell whether aud or board but for the audience members in the background. Super cool actually, I like the impact of the guitar/bass in this tape.

Audience 8.6 - Complete show that even includes the opening act “Dove” which sounds suspicious to me but there it is. This is a very good recording which is a bit spacious sounding for being in a club, and really conveys the feeling and the immediate crowd response which is very enthusiastic. -
Audience 8.7 - A real small club atmosphere that puts you kind of up front where you get a real snappy drum sound and then guitars and vocals seem panned in wide stereo field because I can only assume the recorder was standing in front of the stage and was picking up the drums first then the P.A.’s which give this a very real vibe. -

Audience 8.4 - At some parts there is an annoying noise in the bandwidth, but it clears up. Nevertheless this is one to get. -
Audience 8.6 - Open mic recordings of a studio rehearsal session that sound fairly decent if not a bit raucous and rough around the edges. -
Audience 6.8 - From what I understand this was once one of the rarest D & the D’s tapes. Unfortunately it is pretty rough, that being said guitar is the clearest thing on here. A fiery show too! -
Soundboard 9.3 - Guitars literally leap out of the speakers in this mix. Not 100% if it is actually a board tape because there’s some atmosphere, at least with vocals and drums. -

Audience 8.5 - Maybe a little low end muddiness with a real strong bass presence but I don’t think it kills this recording at all. If the guitars and vocals did not come through I would have said otherwise. The playing is exceptional; this recording should be enjoyed by all. -

All Pro Soundboard 9.6 - Stunning quality! -
Audience 8.8 - This is a strange recording because at first it may seem as though it is a board tape because there’s virtually no audience noise at all. Closer examination reveals that it is more likely an open mic placed right up on the stage or close to the mains. It is a little hot, meaning the levels are near max, but thankfully it only comes to the bleeding edge and does not fall off the cliff. A pretty darn exciting tape! -
Audience 7.8 - Tape is a little over saturated but all the music comes through and well separated so that you get every piano key, every guitar note, every bass note, etc. and it’s great.
