Audience 8.6 - Solid, with some tape squeals here and there about halfway in that do go away. A good solid recording here. -
Audience 8.3 - Not a common tape, the sound holds up well throughout, so taper knew what he was doing. -
Soundboard 9.3 - Peter sounds superb here, the tape highlights him in particular. Great! -
Audience 7.7 - A real “middle of the crowd” recording. You get to eavesdrop on some conversations while Genesis perform their hits. Now, I will say this, there’s a lot of music to sink into here, it’s not THAT bad really. Give it a chance. -
Soundboard 8.8 - A fine performance of The Lamb here, sound quality is very good and mix is very good. You can enjoy this one, more than once! -
Audience 7.2 - Better gear would have helped this taper – when the band is quieter it is very listenable the problem is the bandwidth collapses during volume and there is already a narrow sound field to this tape so…do the math. -
Audience 7.8 - Not terrible by any means, but lacks a clear distinctive sharpness even though it is a relatively clean tape (some tape hiss but not too bad). It may be that it was recorded far back from the stage, maybe in the middle somewhere, but it does have a cool atmosphere, and you do hear every instrument well, and at quieter moments the sound is not bad at all. I like this, I can get into it, even though there are better tapes of the Lamb shows. -
Audience 8.6 - Right down in there with the crowd, listening to the audience listening to the band. The band and their music sound terrific, the audio quality is actually pretty darn good, bright, not distorted, maybe not as full on the bottom end but the bass itself is very round but not thumping. Drums are crisp and well defined. This is actually a good recording! -
Audience 9.0 - Tremendous atmosphere gives you a crystal clear impression of what this gig was like, and it is very clean sounding like a master source was used. Fantastic experience with the only minor complaint being that there are two songs missing…it happens. -
Soundboard 9.3 - Well balanced and full of life, not a typically sterile board. -
Soundboard 9.0 - A good one, although not as full bodied as you would expect but I’m being picky. -

Audience 8.6 -
Audience 8.9 - Sounding almost like a board tape with little audience interference and a good, immediate sound, emphasis on mid range punch. Excellent! -
Soundboard 9.6 - Superb sound and mix, highly enjoyable no matter who you are. -
Audience 8.3 - Pretty clean but somewhat low levels. Solution? Play it loud! -
Audience 7.4 - Supremely loud! Only by turning down the dial on the very crisp highs (as in cymbal crashes) will you get something discernible in this noisy wall of sonic mayhem. However, it is clear enough to enjoy nonetheless. -
CD 1 - Pro Soundboard 9.4 ~ CD 2 - Soundboard 9.2 - Ten years separate these shows but you’d never know it. The band, let’s face it - Kicks Ass Bigly. -
Soundboard 9.4 - Includes an intermission Audience source. Do you know your Krautrock then? If so, than you may not want to pass on this one. A rare show, a strange show, a wild night. Excellent document complete with loads of photos, and excellent sdbrd audio. -

Audience 9.4 - Spectacular! Bonus trx Studio Rehearsals 8.7 -
CD 1 - Audience 8.4 - A real treat, since there are so few good live Hawkwind recordings out there. CD 2 - Audience 7.4 - But all instruments can be heard if a touch lo-fi, and slightly crunchy, it’s still decent for the era and chosen for inclusion on this set because it is listenable compares to some of the other 1977 shows. -
Audience 7.8 - As with most Hawkwind early 70’s aud tapes, it’s a little cluttered being they played so loud but guitars and vocals are prominent in the mix and that REALLY sets this tape above 95% of the others. -
Soundboard 8.6 - A strange mix that seems to leave out any bass, although I can hear the bass notes somewhere, I think. Still, it is a recording that you have to appreciate in that it’s reasonably clear which is hard to come by with this very densely layered sound.

8.8 - 9.0 - Absolutely enjoyable, excellent recording of a band at the PEAK of their mighty powers, a set list that will blow your mind, a performance that rocks the house...any questions? -
Audience 7.6 - A valiant capture by the intrepid taper, really has a good feel of the venue but the sound itself is kind of in a strange spot in the spectrum. Still it’s good, but you want it to “move” more to the middle, can’t explain it any other way. -
Soundboard 9.7 - Great stuff! -
Audience 9.0 - A lovely capture, with a massive drum sound and crisp, accurate highs. Just great! -
Pro recording 8.8 - A Tape in desperate need of a remastering. Has everything it needs to be amazing. Right now, it is very good, but take the noise out, boost the right frequencies and you will have something MUCH better. -
Soundboard 8.8 - The band was recording this show, possibly for a live album. Contrary to what you might think of 80’s Heart, there is no wimp out here, they kick major ass! -

Soundboard 9.2 - What more can one ask? Heavenly bliss. -
Volume One: Audience 7.4 - Thankful for these Japanese tapers who had the best gear at the time. Reasonably clear if a little squashed, it nevertheless is way better than 85% of the early Maiden audience recordings. -
Volume Two: Audience 7.6 - Just a touch better than Volume one, suffers from the same limitations but has a slightly more open sound. -
Volume Three: Audience 8.4 - This is best of the tour by far. A great early audience recording it’s clear and open sounding. Yes! -
Soundboard 9.6 - Darn is this great! ... the mix let’s you hear the lead work in fine detail. -
Volume 1 - Audience 8.6 - Oxford (March 9, 1982) (All three shows are some of the best of the early 80’s recordings). -
Volume 2: Audience 8.4 - London (May 26, 1983) (All three shows are some of the best of the early 80’s recordings). -
Volume 3: Audience 8.2 - Ipswich (September 18, 1984) (All three shows are some of the best of the early 80’s recordings). -
Audience 8.7 - It’s hard to screw up a recording when you have good equipment and decent seats, unless you fall asleep and drop the recorder on the floor. This crew didn’t, and the results are very good to the ears. -
Audience 8.9 - Taper was seated 15 rows back so this recording gets you a good clear image of the event. Being an outdoor venue, there is occasional “wind” effect that does not really bother. A solid capture! -

Audience 8.8 - Sounds like a pro recording to me. A little remastering would have this officially releasable. -
Audience 8.7 - A fascinating live document that showcases some amazing talents paired with Jack’s keen sense of songcraft on a night where all cylinders are firing. A great way to begin exploring the post Cream Jack Bruce if you have not done so already. The bonus material on disc 2 is equally fascinating, offering a sneak peak into the inner workings of Jack’s mind. Everyone can get into this power-packed set!
