Audience 7.6 - Very impressive stuff. This band sounds so much heavier live than on their record, and their record is pretty damn heavy! I would imagine a lot of young people at this gig later formed their own bands and decided they could be even heavier than these guys - thus was born the modern metal sound. So, to me, it just sounds like these guys were taking the music they heard as kids (Blue Cheer, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath), and putting their own twist on it. Great stuff! -

Audience 7.6 - Suffers from some kind of annoying mid frequency squelch. But, it’s actually a very good recording, just marred by some kind of technicality. -

CD 1 - Reading 1979 – Audience 5.7 - Loud and thundering but lead guitar is heard through the din, and you can kind of hear Lemmy singing, and there’s some drum like noises too. CD 2 Paris 1980 – Aud 6.9 - You can hear the music on this show. There are practically no decent recordings of the early Motorhead, but this one, even though it is bad, is one of the better ones because you can hear the songs, and it is not distorted. The guitar is really pretty clear – and so is Lemmy thank goodness. Oh, they kick ass on this show - Really. -
Audience 7.3 - Kick drum and vocals sound great though. -
Audience 7.5 - Not quite as good as Manchester, some kind of compressed, almost muffled but probably only needs a kick in the highs which you can do on whatever you play it with. There's a little bit of headroom to play with. Not going to blow anyone away but if you've heard any of the other 2015 captures you realize that this and Manchester are the better ones. -
Disc 1 Aud 7.0 low levels and kind of muddy, Robert is up front in the mix. Disc 2 Aud 7.4 much clearly mainly because it’s acoustic, the electric part is slightly less clear but not horrible. -
Audience 7.8 - Probably as good as you can get for the tour right now unless and until a Soundboard surfaces. The reality is this is a stadium rock band and the sound is exactly that. Large kick drum, vocals in front, indistinct PA loud guitar and bass, but that being said, this is probably exactly as it sounded at this show. It is enjoyable for what it is. -
Audience 7.5 - Average dynamics but the strength of this recording lies not in the tonal spectrum but in the music itself. You WILL gain an even greater appreciation for them after listening. The rewards are huge, a promise I can make without hesitation. Simply breathtaking! -
Audience 8.8 - Very crisp and clean sound. Enjoyable show! -
Audience 7.0 - For the completist only. -
Audience 7.7 - A little boomy, and that typical 70’s hard rock big hall sound but it ROCKS! It’s decent and a lot of fun. -
