Audience 8.8 - I am SO relieved that the sound quality here is good, because for me I do not really collect Tom Petty recordings, I mean I like him fine but I just had way to much other stuff I needed to listen to...BUT if you pointed me to something different, I suppose I would take you up on it and so that is what this is. I must say, it's really interesting! Quality-wise it's really fine, and very immersive (yes, you know you are rubbing shoulders with a boatload of people) but I find it wasn't off-putting at all. Now for the great news! The parts with Stevie Nicks are as great as you would have hoped them to be. Yes!!!

Soundboard 9.3 - This is not the complete show, but what we do have is required listening. Some minor technical flaws present on a couple of occasions, these aren't deal-breakers though. The quality is here, in both performance and sound. Pat Metheny Group McCalister Auditorium Tulane University New Orleans, LA, USA March 25, 1981 01. Turnaround (Ornette Coleman) 8:21 02.

London Audience 8.7 - A decent recording that remains consistent throughout. Everything comes through, albeit not with a lot of detailed anything, just good overall clarity and decent mix. I would commend the taper because I know he had to have battled with the Hammersmith Odeon acoustics, loud audience, louder band, and consumer grade gear and yet still managed a good capture. Brussels Audience 8.9 - This is a strong recording and finds the band performing at a very high level. Good sound balance, and though you get a sense of the sheer volume, it does not stress the tape.

Soundboard 9.6 - There's not much better than having these early Ghost board tapes. This is just one of those bands that you need the tone to go with the whole presentation - classy songwriting, unique vocals, superior musicianship. all said this is a band that has great tone. GHOST A Pale Tour Named Death Tour Ovens Auditorium Charlotte, NC (USA) 2018-12-02 Disc 1 01 Ashes 02 Rats 03 Absolution 04 Idolatrine 05 Ritual 06 Con Clavi Con Dio 07 Per Aspera ad Inferni 08 Devil Church 09 Cirice 10 Miasma (Papa Nahil Sax solo) 11 Jiggilo Har Megiddo 12 Pro Memoria 13 Witch Image 14 Life Eternal 15 Intermission 16 Spirit 17 From the Pinnacle to the Pit Disc 2 18 Majesty 19 Satan Prayer 20 Faith 21 Year Zero 22 He Is 23 Ghost Talks 24 Mummy Dust 25 If You Have Ghosts- Band Intros- If You Have Ghosts Part2 26 Dance Macabre 27 Square Hammer ENCORE 28 Ghost Encore Talk 29 Monstrance Clocks -
Audience 8.9 - One of the early efforts by Dan Lampinski to capture live music with good equipment. It's a decent job, you can tell clearly that the guy had a knack for it. The atmosphere he managed to get on tape was always very realistic and managed to remain unobtrusive even if it got loud. Orleans Alumni Hall Providence College Providence, RI 18 September 1976 01 Let There Be Music 02 Reach 03 Spring Fever 04 Trenchtown Rock 05 Please Be There 06 Siam Sam 07 If I Don't Have You 08 Dance With Me 09 Lane's Tune 10 One Sided Love 11 Waking And Dreaming 12 The Bum 13 You're Still The One 14 What I Need 15 E: Tongue Tied Larry Hoppen - guitar/keyboards/vocals Lance Hoppen - bass/vocals John Hall -guitar/keyboards/drums/vocals Wells Kelly - drums/percussion/vocals Jerry Marotta - percussion/drums -
Audience 9.5 - Astounding for a 1970 era audience tape, it's got amazing atmosphere and plenty of headroom. The balance here is really good with vocals where they should be, which is very up front, but drums sound fantastic here and the piano sounds perfectly mixed between the two. I can't find too much to complain about with this one. Fantastic!

Soundboard 9.7 - A killer one in every way, including an absolutely devastating performance delivered by the band. This is peak Triumph, and simply a must have.

Audience 8.8 - This here is a very nice tape! It also shows the band firing on all four cylinders (yes, I am afraid this is only a 4 banger but this engine puts out more horsepower than a 12 cylinder Lambo!). Good looking package, good sounding gig, great performance, legendary venue...I could go on. Led Zeppelin Olympia Stadium Detroit, Mich. January 31, 1975 Disc 1 1. Rock And Roll 3:54 2.

Soundboard 9.4 - After the sound mix gets sorted out, and the vocals are brought up in the mix, this recording really takes off and blossoms beautifully. Deep rich bass, and a nice overall blend of the drums while highlighting the guitar. A lovely live document. Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble Paradiso Amsterdam, Netherlands 1983-09-09 Disc 1 101 Testify 3:31 102 So Excited 4:47 103 Voodoo Child (Slight Return) 8:19 104 Tell Me 3:17 105 Mary Had A Little Lamb 4:09 106 Texas Flood 11:55 107 Love Struck Baby 3:06 108 You'll Be Mine 4:47 Disc 2 201 Pride And Joy 4:13 202 Little Wing 7:36 203 3rd Stone From the Sun 9:21 204 Lenny 8:05 205 Rude Mood 4:00 206 Testify 5:07 -
Audience 2 Source Matrix 9.2 - The best part here is how awesome the bass and drums sound together - so massive yet enough detail to separate them nicely. Guitars and vocals occupy essentially the same space in the mix, neither rising high enough to hog the bandwidth. So, all in all I think this matrix gives us the best possible audio of this show and that is a really good thing!

Audience 8.7 - A recording that, while it does not open up to reveal a heck of a lot of depth, it is clear and present, with thump and some big arena bombast. The vocals do not appear up front in the mix, and low end is not highly defined although very present in a "feel" sense, the entirety of the sound can be roundly enjoyed though, as the relative clarity and presence of the band give this old tape credibility in the collector world.

Audience 8.8 - A very pleasant, easy on the ears recording. There's a lot of positive atmosphere and some mild audience participation but this is definitely one you can get into. Not much from this tour, so it is very good to be able to hear them as they were in 1982. Electric Light Orchestra Saarbrucken, Germany March 4, 1982 Disc 1 1. Twilight 2. Yours Truly 2095 3.

Audience 9.9 - Stunning! Clarity, dynamics, balance, presence, and atmosphere. Absolutely a MUST have for any music lover not just Gilmour/Floyd fans. Beautiful from start to finish.
