Audience 9.1 - Taper had really good seats because you don’t get that cavernous sound you might expect at a venue like this. It’s a warm, articulated sound, makes for a satisfying listen. -
Audience 8.6 - It’s easy to find board tapes from most of their tours so I can understand why one might take a pass on an audience tape but you do get a different perspective here, it’s a “bouncier” sound, a more kinetic feel to the happenings and you know, the Cure sometimes drones on a bit so I like having a recording that helps keep things moving. -
Pro Soundboard 9.3 - Sourced from a pro shot video, the audio thankfully is not too compressed but also not super atmospheric either. It is, however, very clean and well mixed. -
Audience 9.1 - Thrilling capture! Gives you excellent mid band punch, and really clear, direct to ears sonics -
Sale!
Soundboard 9.4 - Great mix and solid punch in the center. -
Audience 9.1 - A good atmospheric recording with the sound coming at you front and center channel with power. I love the song selection, a lot of focus on the music, not that I mind the vocals but you get more band interplay at this show. -
Studio Quality 9.7 - Fantastic all around collection which I would also point to as a good starting point to building up a collection of The Cure music. For me it was particularly interesting as I had no prior familiarity with their studio works.

Soundboard 9.7 - This one has a great mid range tightness, and well rounded bottom end without sacrificing any highs at all. It’s pro for sure. Really tasty! -
Audience 8.8 - This came as a total surprise as I never knew it existed…and man, I gotta tell ya this is f’kin AWESOME! This is a band that is crucial to the burgeoning British punk movement but they owe more to the MC5 than the Sex Pistols. This one off show features the band going under the moniker The Doomed because they have a certain Lemmy Kilmister on bass. What a high energy, totally wild and crazy fun gig too! Good sound quality, thankfully! Great setlist with a nice handful of covers that highlight their influences (they even do Silver Machine from Hawkwind!).

Audience 7.0 - Do not expect much here, it is not a hi-fi experience at all – but it is a fascinating document and good enough to pull you in to a pretty explosive Doors show. I live for this kind of thing – a tormented sounding Jim Morrison in 1968 basically at the vanguard of the Great American Cultural Renaissance. -

Soundboard 8.7 - To my ears it’s a soundboard, a little hissy, and somewhat noisy mix but definitely one you can get into. -
Audience 6.8 - Jim is clearly audible despite the lo-fi.
