Audience 8.6 - A touch on the thin side maybe, and sounds from somewhere in the middle of the venue so you do get more of the atmosphere. There is a lot of crowd excitement and participation. Guitar sound terrific actually, cutting through everything right to the ears in a good way, adding to the excitement. Dweezil sounds great and absolutely shreds this gig. -
Audience 8.9 - Extra special emphasis on the drums here, they sound slamming! -
Audience 9.6 - Brilliant! -
Audience 8.9 - Good clear recording where the highs have a pleasant chimy sound, not shrill or thin. The bass notes are very clear too. -
Audience 9.6 - This one is crystal clear, a great mix full of vibe and energy on both parts. Guitar work/Well done. -
Audience 8.7 - The levels here are low, but the sound is good all you need to do is turn it up. -
Audience 9.3 - Strong recording! -

Audience 8.5 - Average for a newer recording, although at times it gets clearer possibly because taper moves into a better spot. Sometimes a very annoying wooer makes his stupid presence known and worse he has to attempt to sing along often out of key and not getting the words right. Why? Why must you? Next time stay home and listen to the records by yourself. -
Audience 8.6 - Not a bad tape at all, and seeing how there’s now all of what, one known live tape of this band I would say that is kind of cool. The band? Well they are in their final incarnation here, and playing is very loose and experimental…but honestly they needed to ditch the flautist as he contributes not only nothing, but he’s in the way. Let the guitarist do his thing ‘cause he seems to be able to turn on the switch and lay down bursts of awesome psychedelic insanity.

Audience 8.8 - Very accurate detail and good mix make for a lot of fun with this. -
Audience 8.3 - There’s nothing I do not love about this band, especially their lovely singer with her delicate lilting voice that ranges dramatically up and down when the music calls for it. Splendid! -
Audience 8.8 - Simply magnificent! This is one that you will play over and over, for reasons beyond what a short description can cover. I am thrilled to be able to relive this gig, so long ago, in a time when a band played whatever they felt and not what someone else suggested. If you are familiar with this band, I applaud your excellent taste in music. If you are not familiar with them, may I suggest giving this music a try? You will not be disappointed that I can promise. -
Audience 9.0 - An incredible document from The Netherlands that you can’t deny. I am a huge fan of this band, and of Jerney Kaggman in particular (one look will indicate the simple reason why), but seriously if you have any interest at all in progressive rock and have not yet discovered this band, this is a great opportunity to take a chance I promise you won’t regret it. Sound quality here is very good, capturing the power and finesse of the band and with this fine lady singer it’s like you don’t even need a PA because her soaring, soulful voice pierces the veil of sound with ease. Musically impeccable, divinely inspired and maestros on all instruments – WHAT A GREAT FUCKING BAND!

Audience 9.1 -A fantastic tape that gets the right amount of atmosphere to give you a good sense of the moment, the venue, the crowd. The quality of the sound is very clean and punchy although leans toward an upper mid band frequency at the expense of the bottom end. It’s not as full a sound as could have been but it’s an excellent quality of sound nonetheless. The music is very engaging, this is a most welcomed tape.

Recorded in 1977 by a group of musicians who brought different perspectives into the equation. Very much an English folk psyche type of record but features a lot of Eastern influence with the introduction of Sitar, and tablas (and other sounds), an ethereal vibe permeates as Moog synthesizers weave in and out of the music. Lots of heavy, mystical vibe on this one.
