Soundboard 9.8 - This is a close to perfect KBFH broadcast and I say that because I love the sound mix here. For me, it was important to hear the bass so nice, round, present, defined, and pumping! Of course that is not to denigrate anything else but for me I just loved the way that shone through. The band is really at the highest of heights for a band, I remember growing up in the mid 70’s and this music permeated everything. The Doobie Brothers were the house band for the United States in 1976.

Soundboard 9.5 - Obviously this was recorded and mixed for a reason because it is really marvelous. (The Cellar) -
Soundboard 9.4 - A lovely capture that was broadcast over the air but this sounds like a pre-broadcast tape and it’s excellent. I especially like how the atmosphere of the event was maintained, it’s not a sterile sounding mix.

Audience 8.8 - I like this in your face recording, sounds like taper is right in front of the mains but he’s got the levels dialed in just right. This is ripping, gripping, and tripping power prog metal of the highest caliber. -
AUDience 9.4 - First thing you notice is that you hear every instrument CLEARLY, which is actually pretty damn unusual for a band that has so much going on and has to be a nightmare to mix clearly. Well, separation of instruments without loss of power is, to me, a great recording. -
Audience 8.5 - A very clean recording that is not as clear as it is clean. Not to say it is muddy, it is saying there is a lack of defined high end, the recording rests mainly in mid range and low end, which is nice and round. I think by adding your own treble boost, you can turn this into a 9.0 recording. Needs upper mid and highs. -
Dweezil Zappa Denver 2014 Audience 9.7 - Exceptional audio, this one has great balance of instuments, while the band is very tight. -
Audience 9.4 -
Audience 8.9 - A great recording in almost every respect, in fact it is almost too clean! Wonderful. -
Audience 8.6 - A touch on the thin side maybe, and sounds from somewhere in the middle of the venue so you do get more of the atmosphere. There is a lot of crowd excitement and participation. Guitar sound terrific actually, cutting through everything right to the ears in a good way, adding to the excitement. Dweezil sounds great and absolutely shreds this gig. -
Audience 8.9 - Extra special emphasis on the drums here, they sound slamming! -
Audience 9.6 - Brilliant! -
Audience 8.9 - Good clear recording where the highs have a pleasant chimy sound, not shrill or thin. The bass notes are very clear too. -
Audience 9.6 - This one is crystal clear, a great mix full of vibe and energy on both parts. Guitar work/Well done. -
Audience 8.7 - The levels here are low, but the sound is good all you need to do is turn it up. -
Audience 9.3 - Strong recording! -
Audience 9.0 -
Audience 8.5 - Average for a newer recording, although at times it gets clearer possibly because taper moves into a better spot. Sometimes a very annoying wooer makes his stupid presence known and worse he has to attempt to sing along often out of key and not getting the words right. Why? Why must you? Next time stay home and listen to the records by yourself. -
Audience 8.6 - Not a bad tape at all, and seeing how there’s now all of what, one known live tape of this band I would say that is kind of cool. The band? Well they are in their final incarnation here, and playing is very loose and experimental…but honestly they needed to ditch the flautist as he contributes not only nothing, but he’s in the way. Let the guitarist do his thing ‘cause he seems to be able to turn on the switch and lay down bursts of awesome psychedelic insanity.

Audience 8.8 - Very accurate detail and good mix make for a lot of fun with this. -
Audience 8.3 - There’s nothing I do not love about this band, especially their lovely singer with her delicate lilting voice that ranges dramatically up and down when the music calls for it. Splendid! -
Audience 8.8 - Simply magnificent! This is one that you will play over and over, for reasons beyond what a short description can cover. I am thrilled to be able to relive this gig, so long ago, in a time when a band played whatever they felt and not what someone else suggested. If you are familiar with this band, I applaud your excellent taste in music. If you are not familiar with them, may I suggest giving this music a try? You will not be disappointed that I can promise. -
Audience 9.0 - An incredible document from The Netherlands that you can’t deny. I am a huge fan of this band, and of Jerney Kaggman in particular (one look will indicate the simple reason why), but seriously if you have any interest at all in progressive rock and have not yet discovered this band, this is a great opportunity to take a chance I promise you won’t regret it. Sound quality here is very good, capturing the power and finesse of the band and with this fine lady singer it’s like you don’t even need a PA because her soaring, soulful voice pierces the veil of sound with ease. Musically impeccable, divinely inspired and maestros on all instruments – WHAT A GREAT FUCKING BAND!

Audience 9.1 -A fantastic tape that gets the right amount of atmosphere to give you a good sense of the moment, the venue, the crowd. The quality of the sound is very clean and punchy although leans toward an upper mid band frequency at the expense of the bottom end. It’s not as full a sound as could have been but it’s an excellent quality of sound nonetheless. The music is very engaging, this is a most welcomed tape.

Recorded in 1977 by a group of musicians who brought different perspectives into the equation. Very much an English folk psyche type of record but features a lot of Eastern influence with the introduction of Sitar, and tablas (and other sounds), an ethereal vibe permeates as Moog synthesizers weave in and out of the music. Lots of heavy, mystical vibe on this one. -
Officially reissued by ShroomAngel, this CD gathers together the 1977 demos recorded by a group of musicians based in the Canterbury section of London. The music is spacey, with Middle East overtones and occasionally reminds of a minimalist version of Steve Hillage. -
Professional recording taken from a rare vinyl LP -
Audience 8.4 - Great, very clear sound. DVD is pro shot live television performances.
