Soundboard 9.7 - Super clean with at least a little bit of audience leaking into the stage mics to give a touch of ambience which otherwise leaves more of a one-dimensional sound. So, I like this! -
FM Radio 9.4 (The Year of the Spiders) -
Audience 7.3 - Pretty clear with a bit of hall space that gives it some atmosphere. Enjoyable! -
Soundboard 9.2 -
Audience 7.8 - Clear, strong, present with just a hint of mic overload but overall very very good recording of a historic show revealing the pre-stardom Bowie testing some Ziggy tunes. -
Soundboard 9.7 -
Audience 6.8 - For the hardcore collector of the Ziggy days. A rare tape though, wish it was better. -
Audience 7.7 - Kind of thin but really pretty clear and that is why they consider this one of the better audience tapes of the British leg of the Spiders tour in 1972. -
Soundboard 9.3 - Excellent, dynamic, solid. -
Audience 7.9 - It’s hard give this a below 8 rating because of technical limitations of the recorder (a touch of high end distortion) because it is a very exciting and highly amped show captured quite well for the primitive hear that must have been used. I can hear everything and guitar is loud and up front. The distortion present is not a killer, it’s there but it is as unobtrusive as distortion can be. A fun recording, puts you right there. -
Audience 5.7 - Muffled and bass heavy but blistering show wish it was better sound. Vocals kind of clear, can hear guitar and he’s shredding like hell. -
Audience 7.8 -
Studio quality 9.3 -
Audience 6.8 - From what I understand this was once one of the rarest D & the D’s tapes. Unfortunately it is pretty rough, that being said guitar is the clearest thing on here. A fiery show too! -
Audience 8.5 - Maybe a little low end muddiness with a real strong bass presence but I don’t think it kills this recording at all. If the guitars and vocals did not come through I would have said otherwise. The playing is exceptional; this recording should be enjoyed by all. -
Audience 8.8 - This is a strange recording because at first it may seem as though it is a board tape because there’s virtually no audience noise at all. Closer examination reveals that it is more likely an open mic placed right up on the stage or close to the mains. It is a little hot, meaning the levels are near max, but thankfully it only comes to the bleeding edge and does not fall off the cliff. A pretty darn exciting tape!
