Audience 7.3 - A rip-roaring, over the top onslaught of greasy rock and roll captured painfully close to the PA. Sounds like this may be lifted from vinyl, and there’s tape noise artifacts present. But, all that taken into account, this is still a very good time and not painful on the ears despite the volume (I think someone attempted to remaster this but it can use one more time). -

Soundboard 8.9 - It’s a very clean, good board but it features a heavy reverb sound, but it’s probably natural reverb. Still an interesting kind of atmospheric recording. -
Audience 8.6 -A sonic blast not held back by some of the typical limitations such as the actual venue itself which is notorious for sounding more like a gymnasium than a concert hall. Tape cannot be faulted for being muddy, it’s not very clean, but that is due to proximity to PA and unprofessional gear. That being said, the tape scores high in terms of sheer electricity and fun…once your ears adjust, yeah, but what a ride! Band did not know they were being taped by someone so I guess this is a pretty honest performance. They sound very primitive, underground, gritty…and I guess that is why Cooper made changes because perhaps that style and sound was getting outdated on such a large caliber tour. Personally, I much prefer this honest, maybe if a bit more crude, band sound.

Soundboard 8.7 - It’s fine just sounds a little dated to me, all the instruments are present which is cool since a lot of times Glenn’s guitar is mixed low or struggles to be heard. -

Soundboard 9.7 - Sparkling, immaculate, totally pro mix and sound. -
Pro Radio Broadcast 9.2 - Sounds very much like a product of its time, and, it is rather good and Aldo shreds convincingly. -
Audience 8.4 - Very rare show, perhaps slightly on the thin side but screaming guitar and vocals stand out. A must have for any Aldo Nova fan! -
FM Broadcast 9.8 - Frighteningly great, as in near prefect sound mix, beautiful tonal qualities, excellent performance, and plenty of raw power and sheer brilliance on display. Quite frankly, Yngwie era Alcatrazz blows away the Vai period by miles, and I am not an Yngwie geek either. It’s just he’s that good here.Alcatrazz Country Club Reseda CA March 29TH 1984 1 -Jim Ladd Intro 2 -Too Young To Die 3 -General Hospital 4 -Kree Nakoorie 5 -Island In The Sun 6 -Evil Eye 7 -Jim Ladd 8 -Since You've Been Gone 9 -Hiroshima Mon Amour 10 -Jim Ladd 11 -Suffer Me 12 -Desert Song 13 -Jet To Jet 14 -Jim Ladd THE BAND Graham Bonnet lead vocals Yngwie Malmsteen guitar Jimmy Waldo keyboards backing vocals Gary Shea bass backing vocals Jan Uvena drums backing vocals

Studio Quality 9.5 - Demo Sessions from "No Parole From Alcatrazz ". -
Audience 8.0 - Crisp and loud mids/highs with a little lacking in bottom but very enjoyable nonetheless. The band sometimes sounds a little unsure, but the energy is great. -
Audience 9.1 - Small club vibe permeates this very intimate recording as Al sings his songs with a crack band behind him…often chatting it up with the audience who responds in kind. As I listened, I could not help but think this music really reminds me of Lou Reed, with less bratty New York attitude and more gay San Francisco.
