FM Broadcast 9.3 - Crisp and airy, with hardly any complaints but if I were to do so, I would have toned down the guitars actually as I found sometimes they were actually too up front…some people would prefer that though. A great one no matter. -
Hard blues rock band formed in 1975 in Houston, TX. Featured vocalist BB. Watson who left Houston to pursue a career in Nashville as a C&W singer. He had some fleeting success, eventually came back to Houston and worked with Michael Knust (Fever Tree) and Keith York (Albatross, Rare Breed) for a stint and also attempted to reunite the Rare Breed (those sessions contained on this CD). Rare Breed also featured the guitar of Robert Hampton before he joined Hooker. These are all the known recordings. -
Disc 1 & 2 - Audience 8.6 Disc 3 - Audience 8.9 Great sound mix here and frequency range ... you can crank this one! -
Aud 8.5 and PRO RADIO 9.6 - The Brisbane is a raucous, loud, crashing kind of show/recording that gives one a sense of sitting on the side of the stage and watching them. The BBC material is awesome! -
FM Broadcast 8.8 - Once you get past the first song which has some channel dropouts, it’s all systems go full tilt boogie for reals. This is just flat out awesome! -
Audience 9.7 - Incredible sound! Massive drums, tight and solid bass, spacious keys...damn this could come out officially.

Audience 9.6 - Very well done, with loads of beautifully full drums and bass that do not boom and do not drown out any other instrument. Keys are nicely placed in the mix and at times seem to surround you. Excellent and highly recommended! ELP Long Beach Arena Long Beach, CA. August 11, 1977 Disc 1 1.

Audience 9.4 - Absolutely fantastic tape! This gives you everything and more, including some intangible aspects that people ought not to disregard, and that is atmosphere. What was it like at the show? I want that immersive experience, and I want a clear sounding tape, and I am willing to forgive the lack of some dynamics in exchange for that - but here you don't have to make that sacrifice because this recording is VERY dynamic! I love the meaty drums, and vocals are soaring above and very clear. Guitar is MONSTEROUS too, and mixed properly. This is almost a must have, actually it is good enough to be a top 5 at least for the Tony Martin era.

Brand New - Soundboard - Killer sounding recording of the “Shout At The Devil Tour” in Tucson September 3rd, 1983. This is Motley Crue at its best. An explosion of raw energy and debauchery at stage! -
Brand New - Soundboard/Studio Quality -For a band with such a vast output, there is very little material out there of Rush's music in its embryonic stage. In fact, the only glimpse we've been given of their songs as works in progress have been the few times they've debuted compositions live prior to their being recorded. But to hear actual studio demos, well, that's another thing entirely. Here they are the power Windows Album fully “Demoed” along with a unreleased studio track! -
Rockford - Soundboard 9.6 - Overflowing with reckless power, this recording literally leaps out of the speakers and ROCKS your balls off! More like this please!! Long Beach - Audience 9.4 - A recording that rivals any soundboard tape, it has all the energy, dynamics, clarity, atmosphere, and feel you can ask for and more. I hope the band gets a chance to hear this one, if they haven't already. I am sure they would be astounded. CHEAP TRICK ROCKFORD ARMORY ROCKFORD, IL. OCTOBER 31, 1977 Disc 1 01.

Audience 8.8 - The sound of this recording owes almost all of its characteristics to the house PA sound. What I mean is this: The recorder very accurately captured exactly what this gig sounded like, and so if there is any particular thing that is not as good as it could be, we need to talk to the sound man. This tape captures this show in excellent quality, I would say the rating reflects more what the sound itself actually was like at this show - not great (for me I just did not love the drum sounds, and thought the guitars could be louder) but really very good. I think it is a matter of preference then, because some people might really like the way this show sounds coming out of the main PA system.

Audience 9.0 - This is actually how The Bangles should sound live. This is as punk as I have heard them. The guitar tone is killer, the drums are bare bones and perfect...vocals delivered directly into my ears like sweet butter spread on an ear of corn.

Audience 9.2 - One thing you get from a great audience tape that a soundboard can't reproduce is how the vocals actually sound. What I mean is that when a signal goes directly from mic to board, it's going to be nothing like what the vocalist will sound like to the audience. The PA system translates vocals to the ears the way the band wants it to sound like, and therefore a truer representation of the live sound that you go to a show to get. This tape delivers that and more - atmosphere, and great individual instruments (especially drums), this is really good stuff. Heart St. Paul Civic Center St. Paul, MN 12-05-1987 Disc 1 1.
