Audience 8.8 - Very nice live sound, slamming kick drums, great vocals, guitars slightly more behind but overall a lovely recording and the best of this tour so far. -
Audience 9.0 - A very clear and atmospheric recording, no stage banter is lost, in fact this is pretty much in your face presence all the way. Good stuff! -
Audience 9.6 - Unbelievably clean and clear, could be released officially it’s that good! -
Audience 8.7 - A rare tape of the 1974 tour, you gotta grab these whenever they appear because unfortunately there are precious few. This one does not disappoint in the quality dept. despite being pretty friggin’ loud and close to taper…almost crosses over the line pegging the meters into distortion but it doesn’t…it would have been a total loss if it had. The disclaimer then is “watch out for your ears”. Steely Dan Orpheum Theatre Boston, MA.

Soundboard 9.2 - There are precious few mid 70’s Steely Dan tapes out there, thankfully most of them are very good quality because the band is a very special collection of highly skilled players who write creative, provocative, challenging music that NEVER gets old. This is just a must have, it’s that simple.

Record Plant 1974 Studio Quality 9.6 - Great way to listen to the artistry of Steely Dan – a great band live and in the studio. St. Louis 1974 Soundboard 8.7 - A little on the slightly muffled side but being a board tape you do hear everything. It will sound much worse than it is if you listen to disc one first (normal operating procedure) but I have to say this recording is still worth having for fans of Steely Dan as they did not tour much and so there's only so much from 1974.

Audience 9.5 - A lovely recording! -
CD 1 - Soundboard 9.0 and Audience 8.7 - The Sparrow show is great, amazing that such an early document was captured so well (by a radio station no less). The Dallas material comes after and is also very good, and at first it may seem it could even be a board tape but closer inspection suggests otherwise but it’s pretty decent. The Baltimore material filling out the 2nd half of Disc 2 is the worst of this collection at an 8.3 Audience rating which is not bad at all really. John Kay sounds very prominent in the mix, guitar and bass pretty heavy sounding, keys and drums kind of washed out a bit, but you hear pretty much all of it nonetheless. -
Audience 8.8 - Great stuff, a lot of atmosphere without sounding super distant. Love it! -
Audience 6.8 - A little boomy, present guitar but low vocals. -
Audience 8.5 - At first it’s a little over-driven and very harsh but it all smoothes out and becomes an astonishing document…still rather crude but powerful and all instruments are heard. I was transfixed by this, by the band’s tightness and such excellent guitar! Wow, to have been there… Disc two is a very rare document of the John Kay Band opening for Steppenwolf in 1972 and is also very good…and very Steppenwolfy as you could imagine.

Central Park 1971 Audience 8.6 - The limitations of this tape are mainly the over-riding level of tape his present, although it’s been re-mastered to the degree that much was removed without sacrificing highs. The actual recording is not bad, and even with some hiss, the tape does not sound like it is multiple gens down. Highs are good, lows are present, mix is not terrible (guitars are somewhat low, but this is a live mix situation and not the taping). Copenhagen 1972 Audience 8.8 - A very clear tape with an emphasis on high end crispness (not brittle or irritating, just very clear in the high end), mix favors vocals, drums, then keys and guitars in the same range. An enjoyable tape!
