• Audience 8.9 - A very nice recording of a period I rather like for the songs and the renewed vigor of this venerable doom metal band. Black Sabbath Eulachhalle Winterthur, Switzerland 1992.09.14 Disc 1 101 E5150 102 The Mob Rules 103 Computer God 104 Children Of The Sea 105 Time Machine 106 War Pigs 107 I 108 Die Young 109 Guitar Solo 110 Black Sabbath Disc 2 201 Master Of Insanity 202 After All (The Dead) 203 Drums Solo 204 Iron Man 205 Heaven And Hell 206 Neon Knights 207 Paranoid - Heaven And Hell (Reprise)  
  • Audience 9.2 - This is a really decent recording, it does sort of lean towards an upper mid range emphasis but not to the tape’s detriment, it’s just that is where most of the action is. The drums have a realistic sound, very live and thunderous without being boomy. Vocals are incredibly present and up front here, so this recording has an immediate impact when you listen and it captivates you all the way through to the end.

  • FM Radio Broadcast  8.9 - This is not a typical radio broadcast, it is very raw and in-your-face loud!  That makes it much more enjoyable to me. The kick drum and bass are nicely present in this mix – but are not boomy or obnoxious so this is a great way to hear instrumentation normally not very defined. This helps make this show sound even heavier now that a solid bottom end is going on. Iron Maiden "Maiden America" Summerfest Henry W.

  • Audience 9.1 - A good, clean and bright recording that is clear and detailed. Maybe I would say it could use more bottom end but I am nitpicking, it’s got all the essential things a listener needs to be able to “relax” when listening. You don’t have to strain to hear everyone on stage but mix-wise I would place bass and drums more to the back, relatively speaking, on this tape.

  • Studio Quality 9.4 - Some variation in the quality (there are some rare nuggets here that aren't as shiny but certainly still very good) but this is all great, and there's a few live recordings mixed in so it is not completely an outtakes set. Each disc spans a certain time frame, so you can follow along with the progress over the decades. Nicely compiled! CROSBY, STILLS, & NASH Rarities 1967-1971 CD 1 1967-1971 1. Kids And Dogs 2.

  • various sources SDBRD 9.8 and audience 8.7 - The first disc contains superior, professional recordings that were sourced from a vinyl album. This stuff is ridiculously good, in every sort of way. The second disc contains an audience tape that is not bad having been refreshed with a recent re-mastering that has lifted decades of dust off it to reveal a pretty cool document.

  • Studio Quality 9.3 - Very slight hiss but otherwise super-duper. Definitely this is fly-on-the-wall type stuff, with banter intact.

  • Austin 2007 Audience 9.6 - Excellent dynamics, strong recording signal that sounds like you are sitting right in front of the band. You can almost make out her diction of lyrics…almost ha ha! A lovely recording. Toronto 2007 Audience 9.1 - A good recording that features nice instrument separation and clarity, it isn’t as round and tight as the Austin show on disc 1 but it’s very strong in its own right.

  • Audience 9.4 -A fierce sounding tape with major emphasis on Tony, and man, you can hear every nuance of the guitar and it is literally spine-tingling…but at the expense of Ronnie’s vocals. Not to worry too much, I mean, it’s just a badass recording you tend to overlook that. This is well worth listening to I highly recommend it.

  • Audience 9.5 - This may be a pro audience recording because it has some of the hallmarks of it being managed by someone other than a concert goer. Not saying 100% certain, but it’s just too good and clean, and free of interference but who knows maybe it’s just a really astute taper?  All I know is that this material and this quality make for a real revelation for people like me who glossed over the albums. Damn good stuff, with a stellar cast of characters. Same with the San Francisco 1977 tape which I include in this rating but is a soundboard…similar stellar sound quality maybe 9.6 but has a little more hiss present. Still, it is EXCELLENT!

  • Audience 8.8 - I am very thankful this recording exists, so few tapes from around this time that are clean and audible. Now, it gets off to a bumpy start but smoothes out and remains consistent for the duration. It’s taken from I would say the middle of the venue but does not suffer from typical distance recordings. The main P.A. system is strong, so you get a good signal here, all instruments present and accounted for. Vocals remain very much up front in the mix, guitars follow.  All in all this is really outstanding and the time period is optimal.

  • Audience 8.8 - This is a real surprise, for this early vintage you do not expect anything really good especially out of the Music Hall but I have news for you – this is a good, good tape. Of course it is going to have that almost cavernous kind of quality but  regardless it’s a really clear sound and one that shows off each member of the band and offers at the same time a feeling of time and place.

  • Audience 8.7 - It’s difficult to express sometimes to people who maybe did not start collecting until the digital age what it is like for us old cats to be listening again to a recording we first heard on cassette…and could barely listen to they were so awful, muddy, gen’d down, etc. – and now they show up like maidens to the prom. This old recording sounds like years of mud and grime were wiped away, still not great but man what a difference! The bonus tracks from Anaheim got the same treatment but the original tape was recorded from further back so is not as good as the Detroit, but historically seems more important being that it is with Jeff Beck. I think this stuff here is like finding unpolished diamonds…maybe a little bit dirty but they are invaluable and hold beauty in and of themselves. Aerosmith Cobo Arena Detroit, MI.
