Audience 8.0 - This has a very pleasant warm feeling to it, very intimate vibe. Sound fidelity is quite good although levels are almost right at the breaking point so there's no headroom to play with as far as EQ. It has probably been mastered already, from a master tape it sounds like. It's a good 8.0 to my ears. Very enjoyable. -
Audience 9.5 - Excellent capture with full, lush sound quality that accurately captures what happened that evening on stage.

Audience 9.3 - One thing you must concede about recordings from this venue – they are almost 100% of the time decent overall but more importantly extremely pleasant atmospherically. Audiences here are generally very attuned to the performer on stage, knowing the music, and there to listen to the music. The Roxy was a venue for music connoisseurs. A brilliant tape here to add to your collection.

Audience 8.4 - Has some good mid punch to it. -
Audience 8.8 - A very warm, and casual show that features nicely defined bass notes, but you are giving up some crispness in this recording in favor of a more mid-range sound which suits me fine. This is a pleasant recording of a relaxed Gabriel and a tight backing band -
Audience 8.8 - A good recording that is taken from one side of the stage as you get much more bass presence than guitar which is probably how you would prefer if you are a big fan of Peter Hook – and not surprisingly the bass sounds badass here.

FM Broadcast 9.1 - A board tape that seems to have a more ambient quality to it, meaning it sounds like close mic’ing rather than direct into board. That means you do not hear the audience as is typical of a board tape, but you do get a “room” sound like the quality of an audience tape, albeit a very good one. This is a real good tape but it does sound somewhat dated and thankfully the remastered version (this one) brings more clarity and punch than before.

Mostly Very Good to Excellent quality audience recordings. Interesting to listen in this context, with the idea being that the band worked out the arrangements in front of live audiences then went to record after the tour.

Audience 7.0 - Something about this recording I find very interesting. It’s a haunting, mystical vibe, a somber heaviness that falls over the stadium and envelopes everything. The recording gives you just enough to experience it, despite it not being exactly hi-fi, it is truly fascinating to experience this show from this taper’s perspective. You will be totally pulled into this gig, and the recording slowly does seem to get better. I like it! -
Audience 7.5 -
Audience 8.5 - A solid tape, with the occasional shouts of “sit down” to add atmosphere. Everything comes through lovely, and seemingly pretty close to the taper. Solid Solid Solid. -
Atlanta 1977 Audience 8.6 - At times the tape shines (quieter sections) but for the louder parts (most of the concert) the bass overtakes guitar, and the bass is not boomy so it is not an annoying thing it’s more of a live mix thing. Clarity is very good but not great, frequencies are all intact here, the sound can breathe a little, it’s not a bad tape and it is not a great tape…and I think the consensus is that you would benefit from having it in the collection. Louisville 1977 Audience 8.7 - The sound here borders on distortion but manages to stay within a sane level of tolerance due to exceptional re-mastering (which is so difficult, to keep highs and mids but lose clipping, it’s a task I would not want myself). If taper was able to manage his levels, this would have been one of the best audience tapes of all time…you can hear the quality, but yeah, some problems there with the upper level distortion keep it as a very good tape as opposed to extremely great. Still, I have to say this is well worth having. Milwaukee 1977 Audience 8.2 - This is the kind of tape that is hard to get through without needing some major adjusting. I can tell you only that even after careful re-mastering, it is still an average tape with some decent moments but mostly difficult on the ears. It’s saving grace? It’s a brand new discovery, and is only popping up for the first time since it was first recorded. I enjoyed the quieter parts (such as Wish You Were Here, and the acoustic portions of the Pigs suites).

Audience 8.9 - When this recording first starts you get a little worried that it is going to be crap, but when the band begins to play, the sound gets surprisingly good, so much so that it totally sucks you into the moment and you lose yourself in the band. Fantastic! -
Audience 7.4 - Sounds pretty low generation, but it’s typical of the era being kind of AM radio sounding but on the positive side, the instruments are good and clear if maybe the guitar is a bit in the back. -
Audience 7.2 -
Audience 9.4 - An excellent recording featuring one unusual distinction in that guitars are hard panned to one side making for a unique listening experience. It kind of adds to the atmosphere actually. A great one! -

Audience 8.9 - A really cool recording in that keys, drums and bass sound right next to you but guitar swirls above them, and over your head, and around your ears… VERY nice atmosphere and picked up extremely well by the taper. -
Audience 9.6 -
Audience 7.1 - A very subdued tape, and lots of hiss that at some points is cleaner so no real stress. It is reasonably clear in that you can hear everything, just sounds like it needs a kick in the mid range or some good multi-band compression. Interesting to hear these sort of stripped down Dark Side shows. -
Audience 7.8 - The recording shines during the quieter passages and gets slightly crowded during intense sections but without any distortion at all. It’s really quite good, I think even the most discerning collector can benefit by having this performance. -
Audience 7.3 - The good thing about Pink Floyd is that almost every taped concert is relatively clear because they did not overload with bombast and volume. -
Audience 8.0 - A subdued recording that occupies a pleasant bandwidth for the ears but does not venture into dynamics high or low. It’s very interesting hearing these formative versions of Animals tracks, this recording does deliver enough clarity and separation of instruments to be able to appreciate the happenings on stage – and because Pink Floyd is not a “bombastic” band, you do get periods of music that rate in the mid 8’s so a good, not great, tape. -
Audience 7.4 - MUCH MUCH better than the previously circulated version! Still not perfect, but this is well worth getting if you want to upgrade your old copy, otherwise if you are a collector and do not have it, you should get it because rock concerts at Carnegie Hall were few and far between. -
Audience 9.1 - Excellent! Very clear, balanced, and lovely atmosphere. One that will get repeated play for sure.

Audience 8.3 - Surprisingly well balanced and bright recording. -
Audience 8.7 - This is a surprisingly clear tape with a superbly detailed bottom end and would rate MUCH higher if the sound mix brought the guitar and keys up a bit more. These complaints are not the fault of the taper or his gear, but rather the actual PA sound mix at the show, which by the way is VERY good so do not be put off at all, it’s that my preference would be for more guitars. -
Audience 7.7 - Big stadium sound without a lot of boom, just maybe kind of far back and not clearly defined. You have to turn it up though, there’s TONS of headroom in this tape – somebody needs to remaster it. -
Audience 8.7 - This is a very good recording that only needs more definition in the highs, but I still think this has to rank high in the pantheon of 1971 audience tapes. It’s a show that seems to invoke an almost reverential vibe in the audience, as they are quiet and respectful throughout but show bursts of appreciate at song endings. A good one, in many respects.

Audience 8.7 - An interesting tape, the recording is very lifelike and captures one of the best keyboard dominate performances I have ever heard. What I mean is, the keys really come to life on this one, as opposed to being merely “sound effects”, and the rest of the band is great too. A keeper! -
Audience 8.6 - A nice warm sound with loads of atmosphere, but no annoying echo or boominess! Great for 1972, although there is some underlying hiss (not too much). -
Audience 9.4 - Clearly this tape belongs in the tapers hall of fame. So good, you hear every little nuance, I could swear I even hear the breaths taken between verses! Yes, it is that good! -

Brand New unsealed. The 30th Anniversary Edition of the album remix/remaster on SACD. -
Audience 8.9 - Clear and plenty of detail here with a few problems showing up only very occasionally. One thing I noticed is there is a bit of what sounds like the music is moving around overhead, what this could be is the quad system and the mic is picking up the sound as it rotates around the venue. Otherwise it’s some kind of phasing but it’s not too annoying, just wish I knew exactly what it was. -
Sale!
Audience 8.7 - A decent tape that documents the first show of the ’77 Euro tour. There is a little bit of overcrowding in the mid to upper band, it’s not horrible but it prevents some of the detail in the guitar from being clearly heard. Bass sounds round and brassy, vocals are up front and clear. -
Audience 8.6 - A clear tape that EXPLODES from your speakers…but maybe because that is because the levels are really hot (but next to no distortion!) and it makes for a ridiculously electric sounding show. It’s like, man, I am here, my ears are melting and my mind is blowing! Way better than the previously circulating high gen tape, this is from the master reels and it shows.
