Audience 8.4 - I think the draw is, when you are dealing with these old audience tapes that don’t have very wide dynamic range, is that as long as you get a solid guitar, and reasonable vocals, it’s going to appeal to collectors because what they want is the performance mainly – and I tend to agree because this is after all the peak period for the band. You can hear guitar, vocals, and keys in pretty decent clarity and forceful too – I see the value in this recording, a little rough around the edges when band is at full flight due to limitations with the recorder, but let me tell you I hung around, listened to the whole thing, and came away satisfied. It’s not too bad! Palasport, Genova, Italy March 11, 1973 -
Audience 6.8 - Very thin, but a low gen tape used here so it is pretty clear and guitar is the most present along with Ian and a pretty prominent kick drum too. The show is marvelous wish it sounded better. -
Audience 7.8 - Crowded a bit in the middle, but not bad enough to lose any one instrument. In fact, the guitar and bass complement each other in the mix like a battle of giants. I will say also that the performance itself is a real jam fest, with everyone shining bright. I like this one a lot. -
CD 1 & 2 - Audience 8.9 - Very strong presence, taper had great seats and knew how to operate his levels, so, have fun because the band never sounded better! CD 3 & 4 - This show received a nice remastering which helped bring the middle up and cut out a lot of the tape hiss so what you get now is a smoother sound, and good punch in the mids while offering great solid kick drum, vocals, and guitar with keys being placed perfectly in accompaniment. Just get past the first song where taper finds his position and you are good to go. -
Audience 9.3 - Technically the sonic quality here is more likely an 8.9 but this tape gets a MAJOR boost because, quite simply, it’s one of the most incredible, insane, unbelievable things Deep Purple I have ever experienced. Throw away Made In Japan because this here, man, this here folks is pure fucking magic. I will leave it at that. Deep Purple Roundhouse Dagenham, UK 19 February 1972 1. Highway Star (9:19) 2.

Audience 7.7 - The rating does nothing to express the magnitude of intensity that this show has. It gives you a very real sense of how completely bombastic and insanely loud Deep Purple were at this time. Incredible on many levels, so use this to show your kids how we rocked back in the day. Amazing! -

Audience 8.7 - A surprisingly good recording, honestly when I first came upon this title I thought to myself it must be crap sound ‘cause I’d never heard of it before. Not so! It’s pretty good. -
Audience 7.7 - A great period for Deep Purple, this is probably their peak in a lot ways. The recording here is decent, vocals a little back, some overload at times, but you don’t miss anything really all the music is there and you can pick up just about everything on stage. I like it, I think you will too. -
Soundboard 9.3 - Excellent, dynamic, solid. -
Audience 8.4 - Simply has to be one of the best audience tapes of the time. So, it isn’t perfect but I consider this to be a must have due to how clear, and really nice fat bottom end without boominess. Lovely! -
Audience 9.3 - You could not ask for a better break than having this marathon ass kicking show recorded so well. -
Cleveland 1978 Radio Broadcast 8.8 - A tape that shows signs of age and has that dated quality to it but is still good. It just sounds kinda, pimp and funky just like the music.New York 1981 Radio Broadcast 9.3 - A fresh sounding tape, and a rather fresh performance that does not showcase a drunken, sloppy ‘Dolls kinda gig but a much more focused and professional with plenty of edge to remind you who is fronting kinda gig.

Audience 8.9 - A recording that seems to “rise above” the din because literally it sounds like the mic was over the crowd. It makes for a more immersive experience, and the fact that the dynamics are good and the sound is clear…well it just goes to prove once again that a well made audience tape is more than welcome in any real live music collection.
