Aud 7.6 / SDBRD 9.0 - A little cluttered in the center with not the best instrument separation. Listenable. Bonus disc includes most of the same show in soundboard quality. -
Soundboard 9.5 -
Audience 8.7 - A nice one! Funny to hear the Japanese tapers between songs, but they did a good job capturing this show for sure. When performers play Japan, you have to wonder what it must be like to play in front of large crowds of people who have no clue what you are singing about. -
Soundboard 9.2 - A very clean, dry board with dramatic emphasis on guitar as it should. A study in how to rock the blues without falling into same old same old, I mean, the man was a living riff machine! -
Audience 9.8 - Spectacular recording that captures every nuance with beautiful clarity and dynamics while allowing just enough crowd and ambience in to perfect the listening experience. So F’ING good I defy anyone to challenge my assessment. -
Audience 9.7 - The title asks the question “is this the mix we really want?” and the answer is most emphatically “YES”! Brilliant sound, like you are sitting right in the front row center…why spend the money, get this CD instead! -
Audience 9.4 (both shows) - Expertly recorded from optimal position with high end gear. Clear and nuanced, with some headroom allowing for the atmosphere of the event to add another dimension to the sonically excellent captures. -
Audience 8.8 - Deep, rich lows are what highlight this tape. There is the tiniest amount of distortion in the bass due to just how profound it is in this recording but not to the expense of everything else mind you – although I would say the rest of the music sits a little behind the low end. I can wholeheartedly recommend this but bear in mind if you want to blast it loud you may want to tune down the bass frequency. -
Audience 9.6 - Monsterous! Sounds like you are right there, crystal clear and loud. The BEST EVER! -
Audience 9.4 - When an audience tape is done correctly you get a very real sense of the environment, of the people and the moment happening in front of you. This tape does all of that for you. -
SDBRD 9.4 - I actually believe this recording probably sounds a lot better than what the people at the show were hearing. I say that because these huge outdoor concerts did not always have the pinnacle of clear sound mixes, and ear-bleeding volume does not always mean it sounds good it just means it sounds stupid loud. I’d rather have a good sounding recording rather than the damaged hearing. -
Audience 8.8 - Looking for a good quality Plasmatics recording? Right here it is. Get it! -
Audience 8.7 - A loud, loud tape recording that gets right up to the bleeding edge of break up at full volume but thankfully does not go off the edge…too much! So, I have to say about this one, it’s terribly exciting because it has a super realistic feel where you can sense the size of the venue, the air of excitement in the crowd, pretty much all the hallmarks of an exceptional capture. It does get too loud in places, so be warned. -
Audience 8.9 - An infamous gig, Roger has had quite enough from a fan and spits on him. But the show – the show is a good ‘un, and captured very well here with a very clear and direct guitar sound primarily but solid rhythm section as well and some of the atmosphere does present. Its limitation might be that there are a couple of cuts and other tape related issues (few and far between) and maybe that keys get a little buried at times but really it’s no deal breaker just minor things. Highly recommend this one! -
Audience 8.6 - A strong performance with an especially creepy CWTAE, and the tape showcases all of it clearly, and with power. Very slight bit of breaking up at the most extreme volume but it hangs together, and the quieter parts are sublime with a very clear organ/keys which is nice. A good one! -
Audience 9.4 - Clearly this tape belongs in the tapers hall of fame. So good, you hear every little nuance, I could swear I even hear the breaths taken between verses! Yes, it is that good! -
Audience 8.8 - A great stereo recording from the 5th row back, center. Occasional mic drop out in the 2nd half of the show - fixed but tape went mono for a bit. A really nice and immersive concert recording. -
Audience 7.7 - Obviously one that everyone needs as it is one of the rare performances of “Tea Time” sequence. Good sound, not going to blow you away but it is ok, maybe low levels, some tape hiss. -
Audience 9.4 - Front row seat to a sizzling Pink Floyd concert. Total immersion, 100% satisfaction guaranteed. -
Audience 7.8 - Recorded pretty close to the mains, a touch of distortion on some parts, and some tape breaking up due to being overloaded with sound, and vocals a little buried, but even though I can go on with the faults, I found myself sticking with it and I adjusted and I enjoyed this show. Roger is in particularly fine form, really sounds determined on this stage. Tapers talk, tapers cough, but I deal with them, the show sounds incendiary. -
Audience 8.9 - When this recording first starts you get a little worried that it is going to be crap, but when the band begins to play, the sound gets surprisingly good, so much so that it totally sucks you into the moment and you lose yourself in the band. Fantastic! -
Audience 9.2 - Crank it up! -
Audience 8.8 - Great, guitar is up front in the mix. -
Audience 9.5 - Just a slight touch better than the early show in that the guitars have more bite, and the vocals are slightly more pronounced. Simply a must, because you have not only a superb recording, but a great time in Neil’s illustrious career. (Late show) -
Audience 8.8 - Hell yeah, live and loud, very clear. -
Audience 8.7 - Rockin' good! -
Audience 7.3 - Loud and slightly distorted but pretty dang raucous and for that I like it. -
Soundboard 9.0 - I love this mix you can really hear the bass definition. -
Soundboard 9.7 - Superb! -
Radio Broadcast 8.5 - This is a big upgrade to what you may have heard before. Music is total mind frying acid induced psychedelia ala Hendrix. KILLER MAN! -
Audience 9.1 - Clear and sharp, right up close and full of electric atmosphere. Lovely! -
Audience 8.7 - Recoded on professional equipment and it shows. Crisp highs, and a good, lively atmosphere. You get a little bit of that big hall cavernous ambiance here that keeps vocals just behind the stage sound.
