Soundboard and TV 9.3/8.8 - The first two discs are by and large excellent and clear but the last disc is more subdued, still soundboard but the source has aged more and the signal is less bright. Great to listen to, all three discs have a lot to offer.

Audience 8.8 - A great atmospheric recording – I think I have figured it out though – so people used to go to concerts and party, with the musician on stage performing just an excuse to be with hundreds of other pot smoking, over-hyped hippies. What I am trying to say is that the audience is a little too into it…in my opinion. Great show though.

This recording has been available for years now but this is the first time the master reels have ever been properly digitized. This show captures Neil Young and his backing band The Stray Gators touring in support of his Time Fades Away album. This is a good show but Neil is plagued with guitar problems and spends about a quarter of show tuning his guitar. Also of note David Crosby and Graham Nash join Neil onstage for Old Man. -
Soundboard 8.8 - A grungy, dirty piece of heaven! I used to listen to this band when I was young man not yet in my 20’s. I was so happy to finally hear what they were like live…and be able to hear it! I shy away from a lot of this old metal only because it was so hard to record them live unless it was through the board or professionally. This is cool shit!

Audience 8.6 - A little thin but surprisingly clear, and man, just to hear this stuff I gotta say it’s a privilege. The material these bands came up with around this time – 1972-73 – it’s just a whole different world of rock and roll that most people were, and still are, completely unaware of. I like the experimental spaciness of the opening “jam sessions” with Franco Battiato (probably with members of the other bands), you get the feeling these guys were really tuned in to each other because it’s not recklessly chaotic, there’s a mystical beauty to it. The Quella Vecchia Locanda is just insane, too bad only one song, and it’s not complete, but I think only a small portion was missed I could be wrong. Garybaldi’s set consists of most of the Astrolabio record, which is very cool but I wished there was some of the Nuda stuff on here. -
FM Radio Broadcast 8.5 - The tape source shows its age, and then there’s the telltale radio compression as well so you get a reasonably clear sound with a lack of high end clarity, occasional minor drop outs, that sort of thing. It’s not that bad, I expect better of an FM broadcast but there’s not much out there from this station, this is a pretty rare thing, and the band, while very good, never achieved a lot of commercial success. They are traditional AOR rock that sometimes reminds me of Bob Seger or Meatloaf. -
Audience 7.6 - Very impressive stuff. This band sounds so much heavier live than on their record, and their record is pretty damn heavy! I would imagine a lot of young people at this gig later formed their own bands and decided they could be even heavier than these guys - thus was born the modern metal sound. So, to me, it just sounds like these guys were taking the music they heard as kids (Blue Cheer, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath), and putting their own twist on it. Great stuff! -
Soundboard 9.7 - Amazing! Progressive rock played at a super high level infusing all kinds of rhythms and styles. A great sound mix, you hear every instrument well-balanced but some juicy, punchy bass at the low end really sets this one on a great path to your eardrums.Mutantes Live at Teatro de Arena Ribeirão Preto, São Paulo, Brazil Jun 6 1978 Disc 1 01 - Arena - Ando Meio Desligado 02 - Panis Et Circense - Falsifiquei A Sua Caderneta 03 - Frutificar 04 - Semente da Paixão 05 - Aurora Boreal 06 - Mensageiro da Ladeira (Pororoca) 07 - Gênesis Disc 2 01 - Amanhecer 02 - Paranóia 03 - Te Encontrar 04 - Cidadão da Terra 05 - Magia e Coração 06 - De Que Vale Meu Rock'n'Roll 07 - Rock'n'Roll City Line-up: Sérgio Dias: vocal & guitars Ruy Motta: drums, percussion & backing vocals Luciano Alves: keyboards Fernando Gama: bass, vocals Eunice Matos: backing vocals
