Audience 9.2 - Here we have a real treat for those who now realize what we had in our youths with the "Seattle Sound" as epitomized by Soundgarden, a sound that fit the times very appropriately. Now for the kicker: This show not only sounds great but has plenty of fun moments with Chris Cornell and the audience (I think he's a bit toasty on the potent German suds). What I liked most is the live sound here is mixed well for the guitars especially, only Chris gets a bit drowned out during the extreme volume heavier parts but overall it's hitting the sweet spot, at least for me. -
Audience 9.0 - This recording has a good solid middle highlighting the musicianship of the band, possibly at the expense of Chris in the overall mix. Don’t let that stop you, by all means this is one to get. -
Radio Broadcast 8.8 - Some age showing on the tape (hiss) but highly enjoyable. -
Audience 8.8 - A rare treat! Two sets in a small venue in really good quality by a band that had tremendous potential. This is such a cool find, more like this please!

Soundboard 9.8 - Professionally recorded for release, the quality is as defined as you could hope for. Probably had to be somewhat challenging to mix, a band with three back-up singers and a lead singer, violinist, guitar/bass/drums, and keyboards. A lot to manage but an impeccable job for this show.Solstice 2Days Prog + 1 Festival Campo Sportivo Revislate, Novara, Italy September 4th, 2022

CD issued of post US ASIA recordings from 1986 and 1991. Music here is impeccably played and of epic quality both composition and fidelity. Magnificent music, well worth your consideration! Import from UK, CD is SEALED -
Audience 7.2-7.6 - From various locations (taper tries very hard and sometimes moves equipment to a better spot, so quality varies). -
Four Discs of music that will melt your brain. All are either Very Good or Excellent quality, so it’s not a jarring experience to sit through all four discs, they have a certain continuity to them. I think this is a great time period of music and these guys were just on another level. It’s a fun thing to ponder, whether there are any bands that can do this sort of thing today – and the answer is “I really don’t think so”.

Audience 8.3 - A serviceable tape that presents a very round bottom end but has a good solid middle during less frenetic jams, and in turn this also reveals great snappy highs. What I think it is, it’s a loud kick drum that intrudes during active sections, not too badly, but it does push itself too far into the mix. Still GREAT stuff and highly recommended. -
CD issue of music originally released in 1982. Import from UK, CD is new and never played. -
FM Broadcast 9.6 - Crystal clear, immaculate and precise, a joy to listen to!

Soundboard 9.8 - Wow! Superb! -
Soundboard 8.7 - What we have here with these two shows are a couple of primitive soundboards, and by that I mean they may have run the sound through the board but what ended up on the tape is NOT what you would expect. It's not a manicured, expert mix and pristine sound, it's a very raw, brutal, loud, obnoxious, hellish, and violent turbulence of sound that somehow fits the vibe to a tee. This is Slayer, in 1985, and it sounds like it. Wonderful in its rawness, brutal in its aggressive sonic assault, and 100% vintage Slayer.

Audience 7.9 - Not the best sound mix here, and it kind of blasts through your speakers, but it’s rollicking good fun mate! -
Soundboard 9.7 - Both as good as it gets. Pro all the way.…a must have! -
Audience 7.2–8.2 - What you get here is a very raucous sounding tape because when the band is at full volume the recorder can’t deal with it so there’s some clutter and slight high end break up, but when the band is more low key, such as a straight blues number, it’s wonderful. The music? Off the hook jamming!
