Audience 6.8 - A little boomy, present guitar but low vocals. -
Audience 8.8 - Great stuff, a lot of atmosphere without sounding super distant. Love it! -
CD 1 - Soundboard 9.0 and Audience 8.7 - The Sparrow show is great, amazing that such an early document was captured so well (by a radio station no less). The Dallas material comes after and is also very good, and at first it may seem it could even be a board tape but closer inspection suggests otherwise but it’s pretty decent. The Baltimore material filling out the 2nd half of Disc 2 is the worst of this collection at an 8.3 Audience rating which is not bad at all really. John Kay sounds very prominent in the mix, guitar and bass pretty heavy sounding, keys and drums kind of washed out a bit, but you hear pretty much all of it nonetheless. -
Audience 9.5 - A lovely recording! -
Record Plant 1974 Studio Quality 9.6 - Great way to listen to the artistry of Steely Dan – a great band live and in the studio. St. Louis 1974 Soundboard 8.7 - A little on the slightly muffled side but being a board tape you do hear everything. It will sound much worse than it is if you listen to disc one first (normal operating procedure) but I have to say this recording is still worth having for fans of Steely Dan as they did not tour much and so there's only so much from 1974.

Soundboard 9.2 - There are precious few mid 70’s Steely Dan tapes out there, thankfully most of them are very good quality because the band is a very special collection of highly skilled players who write creative, provocative, challenging music that NEVER gets old. This is just a must have, it’s that simple.

Soundboard 9.5 - An absolutely marvelous, bright, snappy recording here! Get it! -
Audience 8.7 - A rare tape of the 1974 tour, you gotta grab these whenever they appear because unfortunately there are precious few. This one does not disappoint in the quality dept. despite being pretty friggin’ loud and close to taper…almost crosses over the line pegging the meters into distortion but it doesn’t…it would have been a total loss if it had. The disclaimer then is “watch out for your ears”. Steely Dan Orpheum Theatre Boston, MA.

Audience 9.6 - Unbelievably clean and clear, could be released officially it’s that good! -
Audience 9.0 - A very clear and atmospheric recording, no stage banter is lost, in fact this is pretty much in your face presence all the way. Good stuff! -
Audience 8.8 - Very nice live sound, slamming kick drums, great vocals, guitars slightly more behind but overall a lovely recording and the best of this tour so far. -

Soundboard 9.2 - Another fun show with the boys. Come on, really if you can’t get into this you just need to drink a couple of beers and relax, maybe smoke a doob or something. -
Audience 8.5 - Slightly low recording levels meaning go ahead and turn up the volume on this one, and thankfully there’s no distortion. Recording is clear, not overly dynamic (it is metal after all) but you’ll probably enjoy this immensely if you understand that it’s really about the lyrics and the stage banter. Always fun, and it’s two discs so you get a lot of songs! -
Soundboard 9.0 - For those who want to know what Bruce Springsteen was about before he went all FM friendly singer songwriter, look no further than this hard and heavy hard rock jam fest from 1971. I do not like Bruce, I think he’s kind of a big douche, but damn you have to give him props because he is a rock and roll survivor and this early stuff smokes.
