Audience 8.8 - A fierce sounding tape that has been re-mastered and shows some depth and instrument separation that previously was not there. The vocals at times are drowned out in the sheer onslaught of bass, drums, and guitars. The band even reminds a little of Deep Purple (check out “Every Hungry Woman” as a prime example) with keyboards featuring prominently so be ready for what is best described as heavier than normal Allman Brothers.

various sources SDBRD 9.8 and audience 8.7 - The first disc contains superior, professional recordings that were sourced from a vinyl album. This stuff is ridiculously good, in every sort of way. The second disc contains an audience tape that is not bad having been refreshed with a recent re-mastering that has lifted decades of dust off it to reveal a pretty cool document.

Audience 8.8 - This is NOT the Monsters of Rock show, it’s actually the last DLR (classic era) show and it’s pretty good! It’s not super close up or terribly far from stage, seems to be in a nice spot and everything is clear with decent dynamics. Now, it’s a recording from a rowdy crowd but even with that I felt they did not ruin this or intrude unnecessarily – in fact it seemed they wanted to listen to the band and not hold conversations or stupid hooting and whistling during songs.

Studio Quality 9.3 - Very slight hiss but otherwise super-duper. Definitely this is fly-on-the-wall type stuff, with banter intact.

Audience/SDB 8.9/8.5/9.2/8.7 - A mixed bag but all in all I found it to be very interesting and sound quality held up respectably considering how rare some of this material is.

Audience 9.3 - An excellent capture of a great performance by the entire band. With a recording like this where taper is using high quality equipment, the end result is only as good as the PA sound since that is what your mics capture. In the case of Dio, I am sure they have a multi-million dollar PA system and expert sound engineers at the desk. The live sound is well mixed and powerful.

Audience 8.8 - A very decent, wide field recording. What that means is there’s a lot of headroom so you can turn it up and it will sound even better.
