Volume Two:  Audience 7.6 - Just a touch better than Volume one, suffers from the same limitations but has a slightly more open sound.

Audiece 7.0 - Loud and noisy, but Maiden fans know all too well the kind of lo-fi muddy sound most of the early recordings suffer from, that’s why this is welcome. It is not nearly as horrid as most, in fact in places this is actually pretty decent. You do get a great feel of the hall, and the energy level, and even though it is a tad crunchy you do get most of the band.

Audience 8.7 - It’s hard to screw up a recording when you have good equipment and decent seats, unless you fall asleep and drop the recorder on the floor. This crew didn’t, and the results are very good to the ears.

Audience 8.9 - Taper was seated 15 rows back so this recording gets you a good clear image of the event. Being an outdoor venue, there is occasional “wind” effect that does not really bother. A solid capture!

Italy Prog Fest 1972:  Volume 3

Italy Prog Fest 1972:  Volume 1,2,3 Audience 7.5 - The stuff that dreams are made of! How long I have waited for something like this to materialize. I mean, I have been listening to and collecting these bands for ages and now I get to hear a full on multi-artist concert experience by all of the era’s top artists at the zenith of the prog rock movement. How cool is that? What a set this is too! The quality of presentation equals the unquestionable importance of this as a document of an important time for rock music. Thank you to whoever recorded this, and thank you to whoever packaged the recording like this.
