Audience 6.9 - Not the best in dynamics and collectors regret that because it’s such a good show. But that being said, it is also not the absolute worst tape either. (8-21-71) -
Audience 7.1–7.5 - A tape that changes slightly in certain spots getting a little better than before. Plant sounds great, Jimmy is taking the solos to new improvised territory during this time. Listen to the bit before the solo break in Heartbreaker. Short, but very different than the familiar little runs he usually did. -
Audience 7.1 - Not a super clear tape, a little noise, a little distant, but all that said the guitar and Plant are front of the house to your ears. This is not that bad, but it is a concert hall reverb type experience to some degree. -
Audience 7.3 - A little on the crispy side, with a lot of cymbal and high hat in the mix, but overall I think you can just equalize to taste and it is just fine. -
Audience 8.5 - Much brighter and open than the previous night. Also loud but well balanced. (second night 9-14-71) -
Audience 7.5 - Not bad just a tad loud, and a bit crowded in the middle of the spectrum. (first night 9-13-71) -

Audience 7.4 - This is a pretty loud tape, not the clearest or the most dynamic either, but if you are looking for a powerful wall of sound Zep show this is it! Incredibly brutal, the force of the bands’ sound is stunning. -
Audience 7.6 - Similar in sound to Pittsburgh 1973. Not terrible, everything is audible, if a bit crammed in the middle. All instruments do have a bit of their own space, in that you do hear each drum beat, and you can hear the actual bass notes! This tape has its rewards. -
Audience 6.6 - Almost abysmal, but for the fact that you can actually hear the band playing. I am harsh, I have heard worse. It is for collectors only – and has its place since it is a pretty uncommon recording from a great tour. Artwork is great on this, it is worth having but someone really should clean this up a bit. -
Complete Set (Volume 1,2,3) - Each volume comes in its own gate-fold cover Vol. 1 - Audience 7.4 / Vol 2 - Audience 7.6-7.8 / Vol 3 - Soundboard 9.1 Noisy and a bit cluttered with some clappers nearby. That being said, the remastering has brought out much more of the music and it can be enjoyed. -
Volume 3: Soundboard 9.1 - Noisy and a bit cluttered with some clappers nearby. That being said, the remastering has brought out much more of the music and it can be enjoyed.
