Aud 8.3 - Surprisingly clear, at full volume there’s maybe some crowding as drums fight for attention in the mix, but basically what you have here is a great idea of what an early 70’s GG concert would have sounded like. Realistic, and the band is just so good, more rocking and less quirky maybe. -
Soundboard 9.5 - Does it get any better than this? No. That is the simple answer. Warning: You’d better strap yourself in for this one folks, I am not kidding.

Audience 8.7 - Starts off a little rough but gets better and better (audience clapping notwithstanding). -
Soundboard 9.0 - hot show! A band that always put on a good, solid, tight and professional show. Total pro's and that's why we still love them. -

Paris - Audience 9.4 - Superb! Vienna - Audience 7.7 -
Audience 8.5 - A strong audience tape. -
Pro 8.8 - Recorded for TV broadcast, this is really great stuff with only perhaps the age of the tape coming into play, but not in any kind of annoying way, just maybe a bit of tape noise in the background. All in all it’s really quite good. -
Audience 8.5 - A good and clear tape that stays pretty much in the center channel, without a bunch of dynamics but also no distractions either. It’s a solid capture of a great period for Johnny Winter. -
Audience 8.4 - Surprisingly good, knowing just how few good audience tapers are from this period of the early Johnny Winter And. Now, the tape does show signs of age, mainly with some light hiss present and occasionally the volume decreases but not in a really annoying way at all. This is some fiery playing and a pretty clear, and sometimes dynamic tape. -
Audience 7.4 - Consider this a big upgrade to whatever was previously circulating. From original master cassette tape, the sound is focused on guitar primarily, with everything else being somewhat unclear or just not as distinct in the mix. I would call this average, but I am happy to have an upgrade to what was once very much below average. Besides, it’s classic Johnny Winter And – perhaps many people’s favorite line up.
