Soundboard 8.9 - Very nice board with emphasis on vocals, a little less on the rhythm section but not by much. Classic period with all their hits, but missing Candy-O which is still one of my faves. -
Studio Quality 9.7 - Fascinating! Just hearing these songs before the sweeteners were added is incredible. I kind of like the raw takes better, well, almost.

Pro 9.4 - Obviously this is super clean, but I thought some bottom end was missing. Still, it smokes! -

Soundboard 9.1 - Technically super clean and tidy recording but it lacks that electric atmosphere you get when you allow some “room” and crowd noise in the mix. That is my personal preference, the actual recording quality is excellent with maybe a bit of FM radio compression that takes the edge off a little. -
Audience 8.6 - Very clear, but has a slightly odd balance that eventually does resolve itself somewhat. It’s as if taper is trying to find the best spot, so I can’t fault them. -
Sale!
Soundboard 9.8 - Hard to find any fault in this recording, and the mix is a matter of preference so I leave .02 open to interpretation on the rating. It actually may be a 10 it is that friggin’ amazing. -
Audience 8.7 This is a good and clear recording that I really like because there’s plenty of headroom so you can turn it up and it sounds even better. Taper was using good gear apparently and I thank them!

PRO 9.5 - Great collection! -
Soundboard 9.1 - A wild one for sure, the recording is able to capture the manic energy perfectly. -

Studio recordings 8.8 - sounds like a vinyl source, cleaned up for the most part. -
Sale!
Audience 9.5 - When you listen to this, just keep in mind it is taped by someone in the audience…you won’t believe it. Great balance, superb low end, sweet middle band tone, lush and warm with the perfect amount of high end (no sizzle or annoying squeal or cymbal wash). Just terrific, and the band sounds great! -
Sale!
Audience 9.3 - This recording effectively conveys the power and volume of the gig, with pretty much a direct blunt force to your brain. There’s not a helluva a lot of headroom in the recording meaning the levels are at peak (no clipping or distortion) so if you plan to crank it loud, just be prepared for a lot of neighborhood complaints. -
Soundboard 9.2 - I like these intimate sounding gigs, with tight and punchy mixes. A great early set! -
Audience 8.6 - With the shortage of recordings spanning 2016 to now, anything is welcome including this rather spacious sounding capture. Bigger on atmosphere than super focused instruments, the vocals ring loud and clear but guitar chimes behind most of it all. Still, rather good, and I will take that! -
Sale!
Soundboard 9.5 - I believe this originates from an ALD recording, so yeah, it’s real good.
