Audience 8.8 - Very clear, and pretty bright, and that means the tape sacrifices the bottom end in favor of getting the clarity and separation of instruments - that might be considered the trade-off here. I would prefer more bass, but this is something one can add themselves, that is why I highly rate this recording. I think because it is so clear you can really season it to taste more so than if you had a cluttered, or muddy recording. Black Sabbath The Spectrum Philadelphia, PA 1981-12-04 Disc 1 101. E5150 102.

Audience 9.3 - I love this recording, probably a lot more than a soundboard. This is the one your ears have been waiting for. Good separation between bass and guitar so that each is distinct, plenty of bottom end but it isn't at the expense of anything else in the mix - it's perfect. I love the bass definition too, and Ian sounds good. Sometimes I think this may be pro, but for the drums which, while excellent, have the slightest touch of sizzle on the cymbals (and by extension you get a touch of it every now and then on vocals) but it's minor and it probably would not be present on a pro recording. This is really just quibbling, trying to find flaws, the recording is BADASS! Black Sabbath Quebec City Coliseum Quebec, Canada 1983-10-20 Disc 1 101. Supertzar 102. Children Of The Grave 103.

Broadcast recording from Lita’s early days back in 1984! Recorded at Harpo's in Detroit on August 30th. Another wild and full of energy live show. -
Audience 8.9 - Excellent quality, I did find it worthwhile in almost every regard but keep in mind it is a large venue so it is not a close, tight, and super dynamic recording. It is, however, clear and well done, and overall the sound is picked up well from the main P.A. system, it has force, it has clarity, it has a good "live" quality to it with all the atmosphere of being there.

Soundboard 9.7 - The board tapes you usually get from Rory Gallagher are just so clear and punchy because that is his tone, and if you have great sound going in, you will get that coming out as well. Here is another pristine sdbrd from the blues rock master. Rory Gallagher Budapest Sportcsarnok Budapest, Hungary 1985-01-22 Disc 1 01. Double Vision 02. Mississippi Sheiks 03. Bad Penny 04.

Both shows Audience 9.4 - Great atmosphere and lovely, round, PHAT bottom end which is good because this is a Very Funky Set! Prince sounds in fine form, straddling the fence between religion, sex, and funkiness.

All Soundboard 9.2 to 9.6 - This is a great collection for the Santana enthusiast, but also for the casual fan. The sound is consistently great across all discs, with only minor tonality differences (such as a slightly brighter tone on the New Orleans portion of disc 2). There is a enough track difference to keep things from being overly repetitious.

Cleveland 1978 SDBRD 9.7 - Great sound! Perfectly mixed, good live atmosphere (even though it is a board tape, the microphones do pick up the ambience). Cleveland 1980 SDBRD 9.3 - A very bright (almost too bright) recording, and it would have been a tragedy if this did not have anything else going but it does - it's got good guts, and yes even low end although it could use a touch more beefiness. Still, this is one hot sounding show, sure to please even the most jaded collector.
