SDBRD 9.4 - I actually believe this recording probably sounds a lot better than what the people at the show were hearing. I say that because these huge outdoor concerts did not always have the pinnacle of clear sound mixes, and ear-bleeding volume does not always mean it sounds good it just means it sounds stupid loud. I’d rather have a good sounding recording rather than the damaged hearing. -
Audience 9.6 - Stunning! The band is on fire, the recording is brilliant. More like this please! -
Audience 7.4 - Very enthusiastic audience, they are loud, music is there somewhere. -
Audience 7.2 - Can hear everything, but it’s lo-fi sounding at best. Add Equalizer and season to taste. -
Berlin 1971 - Audience 7.6 and Pro 8.7 - Material originates from an average audience tape but two songs come from a pro TV recording (most likely). Stockholm 1970 - Soundboard 8.9 - Material is most definitely from a TV source (thus explains the short interview). The second disc contains BBC tracks from 1970 and some rare color 16MM pro shot film from Berlin 1971. The disc is formatted as a data disc so you can only play it on a computer, opening the audio files and video file with the player of your choice.

All Pro Broadcast Quality 8.8-9.2 - Great compilation of classic BBC performances! -
Audience 7.2 - I would have preferred the guitar higher in the mix, so what happens is before the band starts playing, the audio sounds perfect, then when they start, the levels change and sound, for whatever reason, sounds weak, or it is the mix. It’s weird, because the drums sound fine, the bass is present, and then vocals but where is the keyboard and guitar? They are there, you can hear them, but they are too far back. -

Volume 1,2,3 - Audience - all 9.2 - Stellar recordings! (each volume comes housed in its own gate-fold cover) ♫ Track selection can be found on each of the individual Volumes that are also listed. -
Audience 8.8 - Crisp, well defined sound. -
Audience 7.9 - A little remastering helped this old recording immensely! Now it is worth a listen, even if it is not the brightest of hi-fi jobs…but it’s a document and a good one. -
Pro Radio Broadcast 9.1 -

Audience 8.8 - Looking for a good quality Plasmatics recording? Right here it is. Get it! -
Three Shows: * Detroit - Audience 7.1 - Very thin and transistor sounding. * El Paso - Audience 7.4 * Springfield - Audience 8.2 - The best of the three shows by far. -
Audience 8.4 -
Audience 9.1 - Excellent, though not quite as spectacular as the April 26 show, still you get loads of beautiful atmosphere (or as I like to call it, immersion) and detailed (if a touch loud) sonics. Get it! (April 27, 1975) -
Audience 8.7 - A loud, loud tape recording that gets right up to the bleeding edge of break up at full volume but thankfully does not go off the edge…too much! So, I have to say about this one, it’s terribly exciting because it has a super realistic feel where you can sense the size of the venue, the air of excitement in the crowd, pretty much all the hallmarks of an exceptional capture. It does get too loud in places, so be warned. -
Audience 7.7 - A rain shortened show, recorded from what sounds like around the middle of the stadium. So, it’s a little distant, a little muddled, not that great but you do get to hear everything on the stage. When I say muddled I do not mean it is muddy or murky necessarily, just that the sound is not that clear. I think collectors will want this because it is unusual, that the show was stopped for rain – although they did play more, just did not play for as long as they usually did. -
Audience 8.9 - An infamous gig, Roger has had quite enough from a fan and spits on him. But the show – the show is a good ‘un, and captured very well here with a very clear and direct guitar sound primarily but solid rhythm section as well and some of the atmosphere does present. Its limitation might be that there are a couple of cuts and other tape related issues (few and far between) and maybe that keys get a little buried at times but really it’s no deal breaker just minor things. Highly recommend this one! -
Audience 8.6 - A strong performance with an especially creepy CWTAE, and the tape showcases all of it clearly, and with power. Very slight bit of breaking up at the most extreme volume but it hangs together, and the quieter parts are sublime with a very clear organ/keys which is nice. A good one! -
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. -
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 8.8 - A very clear recording that lacks a lot of depth, but delivers in other areas that make for a very decent listen. -
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 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 8.8 - Long admired for how clean and clear it is, even though it sounds like it originates from the middle of the hall. Echo is minimal, and atmosphere is plentiful with occasional taper chatter (not much). There’s a little bit of “static” in the recording, possibly because of high recording levels on the original master, but over the years this has been remastered and Equalized so that most artifacts are minimized. -
Audience 9.3 - One of those “must have” titles that is quite necessary for any serious Pink Floyd collector. While this recording is not perfect, it does have exceptional atmosphere and each instrument is distinct. The overall timbre of the recording is in the mid range, and sometimes at full volume there’s just a touch of overcrowding but there are what I call “the intangibles” of what makes a recording rate 9.0 or higher and this tape has them. -
Audience variable 7.4 – 7.0 - Tape is clearer during the band’s spacier segments but at full volume it gets somewhat cluttered and muddy. Collectors will want this for the unusual set list. -
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! -
Audience 7.9 - A little more cluttered than the Copenhagen show, still this remaster reveals much more to the ear than anything that surfaced in the past. Another absolutely crucial tape recording that cements the bona fide legend that was Syd Barrett. -
Audience 8.2 - As good as one could hope for, this recording being about as important and critical to the legend that is Pink Floyd as anything they did after Syd. Actually, everything is pretty clear here, and surprisingly you have Syd Barrett actually performing rather well at this gig. A MUST have. -
Audience 8.8 - A great stereo recording from the 5th row back, center. Occasional mic drop out in the 2nd half of the show - fixed but tape went mono for a bit. A really nice and immersive concert recording. -
Audience 8.8 - This tape has good high end response with only a little crunchy crispy on the crashes but the ears like this tape because of the separation of high end to low end. That means the opposite of muddiness – this tape delivers a wide spectrum from low to high making it a treat for the ears. -
Sale!
Audience 8.7 - This is a good and reasonably clear (some tape hiss) recording which reminds me a lot of the Hamburg 1971 recording. I would not be surprised if this was done by the same guys. As a bonus, there is a third disc containing the film footage of Atom Heart Mother from this show. It should be playable on most players, this disc is formatted as a video disc (compact disc containing an MP4 file), if you have any problems please let us know. It should play fine on your computer, and most DVD machines will know what to do with it. -
Audience 7.4 - This tape is a prime candidate for a remastering. The sound is clear but a little distant, and the levels are low. There isn’t anything necessarily wrong with the tape that can’t be fixed. -
Audience 8.5 - Some tape noise present, and some issues with the tape containing the sheer volume of the PA’s when the band is in full swing, but really this is a pretty “live” tape that gives you a great sense of the moment. Atmosphere is pretty cool, the sound is clear for the most part excepting the somewhat cluttered bandwidth at high volume. Worth getting. -
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 - Obviously one that everyone needs as it is one of the rare performances of “Tea Time” sequence. Good sound, not going to blow you away but it is ok, maybe low levels, some tape hiss. -
Audience 7.3 - Thin sounding but clear enough to enjoy, occasional moments of 7.8 – 8.0 when the band is playing their more atmospheric parts. -
Audience 9.1 - Legendary is all I can say. A beautiful recording that captures the vibe of the day, and every note of the gig as the sound wafted gently through the air into the superior quality tape deck that was used for this capture. Get it! -
Audience 8.5 - Levels need boosting but it’s clear, and a solid recording, very enjoyable! The bonus material (Pittsburgh 1975) is very good and clear, around 8.6 very, very enjoyable. Show is incomplete. -
