All shows do vary in quality but do not drop below very good and climb up to excellent, overall I think most collectors would appreciate having an assortment like this. Very enjoyable and spectacular packaging!

Audience 8.6-8.8 - A tape that begins inauspiciously as a pretty good but distant tape. Slowly, it begins to blossom into something much more intriguing. Taper smuggled very good equipment into the venue, that much is obvious, and he worked at getting into a better position during the show until what you end up with is a very tasty audience recording. Kudos to the taper!

Audience 7.3-7.7 - At some points in the show, the tape gets better and you get a great sense of the power of this band. -
Audience 7.3 - A little crunchy, and some sizzle on the cymbals – guitar behind the bass, and not great separation of instruments, but with all that happening, the tape isn’t in the dismal range sonically. -
Audience 8.0 -
Audience 7.3 - A rough document that reminds me a little bit of the Boston 1969 tape. There’s a lot of inherent noise within the bandwidth of the poor old analog tape trying to capture the sheer power of the Who in 1969, but you know it does manage to get enough that you can adjust and start to get into it. It’s raucous, yup, but so was the band! -
Audience 7.8 (from vinyl source) - Pretty strong if a little bass heavy (good!). Vocals up front, some vinyl noise present – adds a bit of nostalgia to the bootleg! -
Sale!
Audience 9.0 - Ok, so here’s the deal with this one – skip past the first song because it’s toast, the levels were not set and the distortion is off the charts. After that the taper readjusts levels and off we go to a really nice, atmospheric and clear recording of a powerful show. -
Audience 8.1 - A shaky start to this recording, but it smooths out and becomes listenable with clear vocals that rise up and out of the depths. The interesting thing about this show is that Pete is nailing all his solos with precision, a rare thing to be honest. The band is in fine form, they even play “However Much I Booze” which was only done a handful of times on this tour. -
Audience 7.5 - Overloaded tape, but surprisingly isn’t distorting, it just can’t contain the power of The Who in 1970. That being said, I bet even the casual fan will find something redeeming here – a loud concert whereby at least you can hear everything – loudly! I kind of got into it, by the time Young Man Blues kicks in, you are in this for the duration. -
Audience 8.7 - Very good! Much wider stereo sound field with some hall dynamics present, and just a little less definition with Pete in the mix but it's actually got a great live feel to it. Highly enjoyable. -
Audience 7.1 - Somewhat distant and an underlying cacophony but there is a reason why Who collectors go for the 1972 European tour tapes – quality be damned – because the band was really peaking at this time. So, good show, average recording. -
Audience 8.0 - Loud, very up front and loud but it’s just great. Not technically great, if you want to cross hairs, but a very solid tape and one worthy of consumption. -
Soundboard 7.8 - The main problem here is the funky mix. It may be a monitor mix, because where the instruments are placed and how they are mixed overall not only changes occasionally, but seem to indicate this is probably just that, a monitor mix. -
Audience 8.7 - This tape barely contains the driving, relentless energy of the Who. It does, in fact, manage to remain somewhat stable even if Roger gets a little lost in the mix. Sheer power, loudness that probably caused some major hearing loss for a few folks. -
Audience 8.9 - Very lively, great atmosphere! Sound is very very good, and the mix that gets to your ears includes everything happening on stage but what I really love is the sound of the drums. Fills the arena yet is pretty tight, with that slight bouncing off the walls effect that gives an almost 360 degree experience.
