Audience 8.8 - Big hall, with big hall acoustics, but it doesn't get too bouncy or verby, it's basically natural sounding if you can believe that.

Audience 8.9 - A pretty good tape, the mix is very good, with good clear guitar and bass sitting just right, alongside the drums complimenting each other and not fighting for bandwidth at all. Vocals sit about all of it where they should be - all in all I like this one a lot. Ghost Göransson Arena Sandviken, Sweden 2025-05-23 Disc 1 01. Peacefield 02. Lachryma 03. Spirit 04.

Audience 8.9 - A touch distant maybe, but otherwise this is a good, clear recording. You don't really see this one being reissued much, which is strange to me because it's a great show.

Audience 9.0 - A SOLID, and I mean very good tape. The high end rings out nicely, drums have a nice real sound to them, and all instruments are heard clearly. The venue has good acoustics, so that helps a lot, it really allows for the immersive experience without being painful on the ear drums. This is one to get.

Audience 9.1 - Lovely, well done recording that does have one or two "wobbles" where the tape might have stretched or something (only caught it once) but a minor deal really. It's a warm sound, and has a lot of headroom which is essential and a big benefit if you want to add your own EQ settings. Lots to enjoy here, I recommend this wholeheartedly.

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.

If You Ever Change Your Mind - Bring It On Home Rory Gallagher - guitar, vocals Gerry McAvoy - bass Brendan O'Neill - drums Mark Feltham - harmonica -
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.

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.

Newcastle Audience 8.7 - A fairly bombastic recording that insists you pay attention to it. Thundering, massive, and thankfully listenable. It's not winning any awards for clarity, but it makes up for a lot of that with a representative recording of what you probably heard from the front row at this show. That leads me to say that while you would think there should be distortion, you can't really tell, but yes there just a bit of saturation deep in the bowels somewhere but I don't find it disturbing because it's low enough that you don't focus too much there. London Audience 8.6 - Dropping down one notch here, but there actually might be more mid-upper mid clarity with this recording. I think overall, this recording is a little less forceful, and there is no distortion at all on this. My ears rate this slightly below the Newcastle not because it is inferior quality, but because it is not quite as ballsy, and the trade-off is you have to give up a but of the balls in order to achieve more clarity, but sometimes ballsy is not a bad thing if it isn't too muddy.

New York - Audience 8.8 - This is a good tape for the vintage, even if the tapers are sometimes talkative they are at least not shouters and nor are those around them. San Bernadino - Audience 9.2 - A surprisingly clear tape, you can tell right away it is a master tape source. The quality of this capture is appreciated very much, it really gives one a sense of what was beginning to happen in the States for Yes. I sometimes just can't believe there was a time when this kind of adventurous, demanding music was so well received and consumed by the American public.
