Audience 8.7 - Amazing for such an earlier audience source. It does border on the ragged edge of breakup, but it’s so real, so close, so powerful, I mean you are literally there. Fantastic to my ears (some tape noise but it goes away when the band is cranking it). -
Audience 8.7 - An immersive experience. Great presence, you can place yourself in the seat at the arena practically. No distortion, just clean energy and sound. -
Audience 8.6 - Good and clear recording, no distortion, sounds very center, punchy. -
Audience 8.7 - Comfortable on the ears, with a true stereo mix making this a choice headphone experience. -

Audience 7.8 - Let me first say this: Why did this album get panned so harshly? I mean, even the band expressed some regret over it. Look, I get that Passion Play may not fit with the preconception of what Jethro Tull’s music is supposed to be, but at face value the music and playing is superior. The fault may have been the accompanying stage show, and maybe if I were to criticize one thing about the compositions would be that they relied a lot on overly dramatic minor key shifts way too often. However that stuff does not diminish the overall content and performance of a fine and unfairly panned album. This CD captures a complete performance of Passion Play in pretty good overall quality with some minor issues here and there. Fascinating! -
Audience 8.7 - Is it possible to be too good of a player? I mean, he’s clearly got mastery of the instrument, and the material, but there’s something about a player that gets too close to the edge that excites me, like Rory Gallagher for instance, you know, where it seems at any moment they might just completely take it to the ragged edge – and Joe has a very controlled fire in contrast which is fine, but I need more. Fans will love this performance, he’s clearly at the top here. -

Audience 8.0 - This is an explosive sounding document, thrilling actually. Sounds like it’s right in front of PA on Johnny’s side, but does not distort. So cool! -
Audience 8.2 - Very live with that festival vibe all over it. Clear guitar right in your face.
