Audience 7.7 - A little quiet but good low end presence, very narrow in the mid range though. Could easily be remastered to sound great. -
Audience 8.0 - This is a very acceptable recording that occupies a midrangey place and subdued highs but since everything is clear for the most part it can be totally enjoyed. Oh, and the band really jams! -

CD 1 - Soundboard 8.3 / CD 2 - Soundboard 8.8 / CD 3 - Soundboard 8.8 What a difference from 1966 to 1975! I rather like the 70’s Guess Who more, but fascinating to hear their formative sound and style. -
Audience 8.5 - A steady, reliable recording that delivers a very live, natural sound but lacking just a little separation of instruments. Still a VERY good one! -
Audience 9.5 - Technically speaking, you could argue with my rating, but a rating must not only represent sonic clarity but also overall enjoyability of a show/recording. This one rates as high as I can allow for both excellence and all the other aspects of what makes a tape really great. -

Audience 6.7 - Really do wish this sounded better but it’s the only known live recording of this wonderful and amazing prog band. Keyboards are more prominent in the mix, followed by drums, then bass. So the important elements are here. When the band is quieter you get much more out of it, that being said, WOW just to even have this is quite special, really. I find more to enjoy from this than to be grumpy about. -
Audience 9.2 - Excellent! Strong if just a tad subdued as far as guitar loudness. -
Audience 8.4 - Not bad but has a lack of meat to it, and though Pete's guitar sounds more evil here, it's the lack of punch in the bass and drums that detract overall. -
Audience 7.8 (from vinyl source) - Pretty strong if a little bass heavy (good!). Vocals up front, some vinyl noise present – adds a bit of nostalgia to the bootleg! -
Audience 8.8 - Once the taper settles in this show sounds fantastic! Clear, decent mix and great atmosphere. A real treat! -
Audience 8.9 - Clean and bright, especially nice drum sounds! -
Soundboard 9.4 - Superb in every way possible. You HAVE to have this if you do not have it in your collection yet. This is the new Remaster, and it SMOKES like everything else from this period. -
Audience 6.8 to 7.0 - You get mainly Roger and Keith crashing cymbals and his kick drum, then Pete shows up in the mix. Interesting atmosphere though, because the audience must be large but you can’t hear them much on this tape, possibly mic was elevated above the crowd. The sound changes a little as it goes and gets better to my ears. Hence the kick up to 7.0.
