Denver 1983 Soundboard 9.3 - Typical of the sharp and detailed board tapes from this tour.

Detroit 1983 Video source 8.6 - Possibly grabbed off a VHS or some other video source. I cannot confirm this 100% but my ears tell me that is the case here. It is a professional recording with a lot of issues concerning compression and noise – I say it is pro because of the location this is being recorded from which seems definite it is not from the audience.

Audience 8.8 - This recording features tons of atmosphere and sometimes struggles over a loud audience. It is, however, very clear, with the majority of the sound mix favoring drums and bass but most prominently, Geddy’s vocals – which is fine – but Alex needs to be LOUDER man!  He’s there, he’s just not up as front here as I would prefer. In my quest to obtain every 2015 recording, I do not decide a preference for which ones I offer as most of them are very good to excellent and this here is no exception.

Audience 9.2 - A really nicely done tape, which of course anyone with a modern digital recorder and good mics “should” be able to accomplish in 2023. This taper did just that, a complete show in very good sound. Peter Gabriel TD Garden Boston MA.

Audience 9.7 - Spacious yet warm, a rich and full bodied sound that immediately pulls you in. You don’t even have to like Tom Petty to be able to appreciate this recording. The pinnacle of what you can get out of using high quality taping gear the proper way. Wowsers!

Audience 9.5 - The recording level is a little low, but the quality is excellent so turn this one up and allow the clearness and dynamics to take you there.

Audience 9.3 - A very good tape, with less of the perfect instrumental separation but more of the live power that can be delivered through good house P.A.’s, and as long as taper is not a complete moron and/or using radio shack circa 1985 gear, chances are you’ll end up with a nice recording…as this one is.

Raspberry Beret 7. Mr. Happy - Flash Light 8. Santana Medley 9. Sleep Around 10. I Feel Alright 11. Outro  

Audience 9.6 - Superb clarity and separation of instruments while retaining a cool, honest live vibe which is what recording from an audience can produce so long as the gear being used is high quality and taper knows how to use it. Here, they do. Prince Paisley Park 3-28/29-2014 Disc 1 1. Why Come 2. Day In The Sun 3. My Family 4. North carolina 5. Share It With You 6. On The Way Up (inc. Love Machine) 7. Catch Me If U Can 8.

Audience 9.4 - Superb capture! There’s nothing I would change about this tape, it’s got a wonderful electric vibe and strong depth that leaves you wanting more. A great testament to the song craft of Gary Wright.

Audience 8.8/Audience 8.7  - Both recordings here (from the same taper) occurred on two different gigs at the same venue in the same year.  Both are consistent, and good. The songs do duplicate but Rory has new material to offer at the second gig later in the year. Great set here!

Audience 9.1 - I waited a long time to get to hear a very strong and clear audience tape of this line up. The wait is over! This rocks! Reading 1983 FM Broadcast 9.3 - I can’t say for sure if this was broadcast or not but it does sound like one of those recordings that ended up over the air. Why?  I don’t know it just has that kind of feel to it, and for that reason this should get repeated plays because it’s simply excellent. Black Sabbath U.I.C. Pavilion Chicago, IL 1983-11-18 Disc 1 101 Supertzar - Devil Baby Crying 102 Children Of The Grave 103 Hot Line 104 War Pigs 105 Disturbing The Priest 106 Supernaut 107 Drum Solo 108 Rock 'n' Roll Doctor 109 Stonehenge 110 Iron Man Disc 2 201 The Dark 202 Zero The Hero 203 Heaven And Hell 204 Guitar Solo 205 Black Sabbath 206 Smoke On The Water 207 Paranoid - Heaven And Hell (Reprise) Bonus DIsc Reading Rock Festival 27-August-83 1. -Hot Line 2. -War Pigs 3. -Black Sabbath 4. -Zero The Hero 5. -Digital Bitch 6. -Iron Man 7. -Smoke on the Water 8. -Paranoid  

Audience 9.2 - Continuing on with the never ending tour Dylan and company put on a great show this night in LA.  When I saw them in Houston on this tour, being in a live hall (Houston Music Hall) and the loudness and everything else I was not aware how much GE Smith (yes, the guy with the 1001 goofy guitar faces) contributed. Really a great complimentary player. Bob Dylan Greek Theatre Los Angeles, CA September 10, 1989 Disc 1 01 Most Likely You Go Your Way (And I'll Go Mine) 02 Gotta Serve Somebody 03 Positively 4th Street 04 I Want You 05 Stuck Inside Of Mobile With The Memphis Blues Again 06 Simple Twist Of Fate 07 Blowin' In The Wind 08 To Ramona Disc 2 09 Mr. Tambourine Man 10 Don't Think Twice, It's All Right 11 Knockin' On Heaven's Door 12 One Irish Rover 13 It Takes A Lot To Laugh, It Takes A Train To Cry 14 In The Garden 15 Like A Rolling Stone 16 It's All Over Now, Baby Blue 17 All Along The Watchtower  

Soundboard 9.4 - This is a commercial grade soundboard recording. It is clean, professional, highly enjoyable – but I don’t know I kind of miss the atmospherics, the rush of the crowd, the occasional scream…call me an old fashioned kind of guy but sometimes the Stones are more appreciated when they are a bit…disheveled. The Rolling Stones Silver Dome Pontiac, MI. 30.11.1981 Disc 1 1. -Intro - Take The A Train 2. -Under My Thumb 3. -When The Whip Comes Down 4. -Let's Spend The Night Together 5. -Shattered 6. -Neighbours 7. -Black Limousine 8. -Just My Imagination 9. -Twenty Flight Rock 10. -Going To a Go-Go 11. -Let Me Go 12. -Time Is On My Side 13. -Beast Of Burden 14. -Waiting On A Friend 15. -Let It Bleed Disc 2 1. -You Can't Always Get What You Want 2. -Band Introduction 3. -Little T & A 4. -Tumbling Dice 5. -She's So Cold 6. -Hang Fire 7. -Miss You 8. -Honky Tonk Women 9. -Brown Sugar 10. -Start Me Up 11. -Jumping Jack Flash 12. -Satisfaction 13. -Star Spangled Banner  

Audience 8.7 - A good tape, not one that Prince purists might visit often due to how many great soundboards there are but I’ll tell you what, I enjoyed this one. The quality evens out and reveals a tape that may not present a super clear soundfield but it does deliver plenty of realism and vibe. It’s “good enough” to be able to play all the way through and afterwards say “that was a good gig, glad someone recorded it”. Prince Special Invitation Concert Texas Southern University Houston, TX. January 16th, 1985 1. -Let's Go Crazy 2. -Delirious 3. -1999 4. -Little Red Corvette 5. -Take Me With U 6. -Free 7. -God 8. -When Doves Cry 9. -Baby I'm A Star 10. -Purple Rain  

Studio Quality 9.7 - Overall the quality is superb, a couple of songs maybe just a couple notches down but none here that is less than excellent. Obviously these versions are not what was on the album but some are pretty close, just some different mixes, maybe alternate guitar workouts and maybe Mick is trying some different vocalizations but it’s still another angle on a great album. Why do all these “modern” era Stones albums seem to age very well. Because they were and are good, fact! The Rolling Stones - Blessed Poison Sessions (working title of Bridges To Babylon) 01 Out Of Control 1 02 Dream About 03 Prairie Love 04 Desperate Man 05 Sanctuary 06 20 Nil 07 Too Tight 1 (KR) 08 Low Down 1 (KR) 09 Might As Well Get Juiced 1 10 Flip The Switch 1 (KR) 11  Saint of me 1 12 Lowdown 2 (KR) 13 Might as well get juiced 2  

Audience 8.8 - What a cool document this is! It’s basically them in a sound studio doing a video shoot for We Are The Champions and then afterwards performing an entire show. It’s awesome! The band sound great, a very heavy, metallic sound in pretty decent quality thanks to this taper. Queen London, UK New London Theatre October 6, 1977 1. Bob Harris' Speech #1 2.

Professional Broadcast 9.2 - The audio CD has been remastered and sounds nice, the audio on the video disc is not remastered and sounds as it did during the original broadcast.
