Audience 9.2 - Some tapes from the audience, that are done well, give you a sense of where you may have been in the room listening, it’s a “visual” recording and I like those kind.

Audience 8.9 - Another great tape of the band’s News of the World tour, this time the second night at the LA Forum in March of that year. It’s just great, it’s a band that knows they are killing it every night. I never get tired of listening to the bravado.

Audience 9.3 - Superbly done, even if it gets off to a slow start with taper getting into position…but from there it’s just an amazing capture with enough ambience and overhead to give you an excellent sense of space and time. Just lovely!

Radio Broadcast 8.0 - Not a vibrant, clear document but the amazing thing is that you can hear the band playing over the crowd! That was not typically the case around this time. Stuff like this is important when put into its proper context, this is the birth of modern rock and roll actually.

Audience 8.2 - From tape source not LP, this recording has some tape hiss present, but it’s not overwhelming the music. Music sometimes seems a little muddy but then clears up a little then returns to a little muddy. It’s not bad though, it’s much better than most of the multi gen STP tour audience tapes out there.

Audience 8.4 - This is a welcome tape as far as I am concerned. Anything with Ian Gillan has my attention, and this show is much better than the Dublin gig, which I mention because it also contains the infrequently performed “Hot Line” so it’s a big win for fans. The vocals are really clear, and so is the crunchy guitar, with occasionally a little phasing effect but kept to a minimum. Not hi-fidelity, but very good and well worth having in the collection!

Audience 9.1 - Sounds very close and hard to tell whether aud or board but for the audience members in the background. Super cool actually, I like the impact of the guitar/bass in this tape.

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.

Audience 8.8 - A tape that should really be enjoyed by everyone even remotely interested in Pink Floyd. Pretty solid one, and a band playing with confidence after having worked out arrangements during the previous lengthy tour.

Audience 8.7 - Recorded with reel to reel tape machine, this is actually very good although it begins with some fluctuations as the tapers settle in. They do an admirable job throughout as the tape stabilizes, they comment here and there but keep it to a minimum, as is the crowd noise. So, it’s a relaxing and enjoyable experience, the band sounding like they are not willing to sell out just yet as their set is not necessarily a top 40 showcase which is good actually. Some hits, but a lot of deep and meaningful music.

Soundboard 9.5 and Audience 7.8 - Well, there you have it. You go from first to worst, thankfully most of the show is the board tape which is stellar. For the sake of completeness, the not so great audience source fills in the missing bits and I for one don’t mind that at all. I’d rather have the whole show.
