Audience 8.6 - Because it is primarily a keyboard dominated group, the audio rings out pretty clear to where you hear everything well. It is somewhat compressed though, with a low ceiling where the slightest bit of audio break-up is occurring (so do not crank this one up). It is a decent recording despite the limitations. -
Audience 8.8 - Sparkling! There’s a really wonderful, intimate atmosphere permeating this recording, and I don’t mean “hall reverb” either. The warmth of the recording captures the warmth of the artist/audience experience. There’s a bit of chatter present but it’s all part of the deal. Get this one! -
PRO Radio Broadcast 9.4 - Excellent tight, warm, sweet spot all the way through here! To sound engineers – this is how you record and mix a bass guitar and drums. -
Audience 8.4 - This is not the nice and clean Badfinger of FM radio, this is a jamming rock and roll band. Great raw live sound! -
Audience 6.4 - Very lo-fi and not super clear but it’s a very cool early show. -
Soundboard 9.4 - Brilliant! -
Audience 7.9 - Foot- stomping and LOUD recording! Bristles with energy, the tape can barely contain it but it does. Fun show! -
Audience 8.3-8.7 - What starts out sounding kind of boomy, slowly starts to turn into a very good and powerful recording as if the taper started on one side (bass) and moved to the middle…either that or the sound man finally got it right. Either way this will surely please! -

Pro Studio - Rehearsals -
Pro recordings 9.4 - Totally excellent. -
Audience 8.3 - This recording captures a medium to large hall atmosphere from maybe middle rows and is quite good under those circumstances. It actually lends a cool vibe to the show, despite that naturally huge reverb going on. Oh, if you are unfamiliar with them, here’s the deal: GREAT hard and heavy jazz rock leaning towards rock with a very quirky singer. Once you get used to him, you are LOVING this band. -
Audience 8.7 - A strong and intense recording with a percussive tilt to it, so you get a very present and crisp drums and percussion. Everything else is also pretty clear but I would have liked guitars more up front but they are fine. This period of the band is exciting and intense, so if you love your progressive jazz hard rock played with fire and intensity that sometimes is off the charts this band is for you. -
Audience 8.8 - A very direct and punchy recording that delivers the music straight into your ears without passing through any air. As if you are sitting in front of the speaker as they play, nobody in front of you. It makes for a cool experience to hear this super intense band so intimately. -
Soundboard 9.6 - Amazing! -
Soundboard 9.4 - What I find most appealing about this show is the mix, and how they do not bury the guitar which is what you might normally assume given the type of “top 40” music Annie wrote at the time. You will be pleasantly surprised to hear the guitar front and center, and actually pretty grungy sounding.
