Audience 8.8 - Good solid tape, very nice atmosphere and kind of cool to hear the audience’s pleasant cheering when a song begins. A wonderful tape. -
Soundboard 9.3 -
Audience 7.4 - This is a pretty loud tape, not the clearest or the most dynamic either, but if you are looking for a powerful wall of sound Zep show this is it! Incredibly brutal, the force of the bands’ sound is stunning. -
Audience 7.0-8.0 - Muffled sounding, but this tape has been cleaned up a lot since I heard it oh about 30 years ago! Once your ears adjust it sounds a heck of a lot better than the first minute, the tape does improve some, in fact by the second song it’s a whole point better! -
Both shows are really good, around 8.5 with the second version coming in a touch higher to me. Some annoying clapping along at times but that is the Japanese audience for ya. Most of the time they are VERY well behaved. -
Audience 8.6 - This is what I would consider a must have. The recording progressively gets better, the show does too. The show! Man oh man! This is what collecting Zep is all about. Get this! -
Audience 7.6 - Similar in sound to Pittsburgh 1973. Not terrible, everything is audible, if a bit crammed in the middle. All instruments do have a bit of their own space, in that you do hear each drum beat, and you can hear the actual bass notes! This tape has its rewards. -
Audience 6.6 - Almost abysmal, but for the fact that you can actually hear the band playing. I am harsh, I have heard worse. It is for collectors only – and has its place since it is a pretty uncommon recording from a great tour. Artwork is great on this, it is worth having but someone really should clean this up a bit. -
Complete Set (Volume 1,2,3) - Each volume comes in its own gate-fold cover Vol. 1 - Audience 7.4 / Vol 2 - Audience 7.6-7.8 / Vol 3 - Soundboard 9.1 Noisy and a bit cluttered with some clappers nearby. That being said, the remastering has brought out much more of the music and it can be enjoyed. -
Volume 3: Soundboard 9.1 - Noisy and a bit cluttered with some clappers nearby. That being said, the remastering has brought out much more of the music and it can be enjoyed. -
Volume 2: Audience 7.6-7.8 - Noisy and a bit cluttered with some clappers nearby. That being said, the remastering has brought out much more of the music and it can be enjoyed. -
Volume 1: Audience 7.4 - Noisy and a bit cluttered with some clappers nearby. That being said, the remastering has brought out much more of the music and it can be enjoyed. -
Audience 7.4 - A rowdy audience, kind of distant sound, a little murky but you can tell what is going on. You can even hear each instrument, so it is not THAT bad. Tapers do get a bit carried away at times. The show is brilliant, the band is just killing it. -
Soundboard 8.8 - This is Bonzo’s show, even with the mix. I love the drum sound on this tape. -
Audience 8.0 - Clear recording, if a little distant sounding. Tape is a little bit hot, but so is the band! An enjoyable experience, not the highest fidelity, but this is a slamming show, and the sound, while a touch thin, is actually very good. -
Audience 7.4–7.8 - A tape that improves somewhat, still there’s a reason why collector’s all love this show. It’s a real good one from the European leg of the 1970 tour, and the performance is great! -
Audience 7.3 - This is a big upgrade to my ears. It used to be abysmal, now you can hear everything. Explosive and violent show, the band is ripping. Tapers can be heard sometimes but it adds to the weird atmosphere. -
Audience and Soundboard - The Audience portion is about a 7.2 with a very strained tape trying to contain such an explosive show, but the Soundboard portion is a great relief when it kicks in! Worth getting for that reason, and because the performance is as good as I have ever heard. -
Soundboard 9.3 -
Audience 7.8 - Exciting show, recording features a strong guitar, clear vocals, bass and drums present but not as bold. All in all, it’s quite good and the show is fierce. -
Audience 7.5 - This sounds a lot better than the old cassette I had for decades. Not nearly as distorted as I remember it being. This is actually not that bad. -
Audience 7.0–7.3 - Starts a bit rough, kinda thin and distant but as the show goes on the tape gets better sounding. -
Audience 7.3 - At times this does sound much better than the rating. Lots and lots of atmosphere, the guitar echoes in the hall a little, it sounds cool! -
Audience 7.5 - Could be a low generation tape for this source. Some minor phasing issues but pretty clear though; Band is in fine form. -
Soundboard 9.8 -
Audience 8.6 - Very similar to Nagoya 72 but less distortion present, it’s surprisingly clear, it’s highly enjoyable and the band just played terrific on this Japanese tour. Really worth having! -
Soundboard 8.8 -
Audience 8.5 - Great atmosphere on this one, and the capture is solid if just a touch of high end break up that I found did not annoy me or detract at all. You might detect it more the louder you play this, but the levels here are pretty high as it is so it sounds loud even if you don’t have it turned up high. It’s a great show. Get it! -
Audience 8.3 - A little tape noise present but I think this recording is just fine for the time. It is better than some of the other Japanese shows from the tour. It gets really good during the acoustic section. Also happens to be a power house of a concert. Really a must I think. -
Soundboard 8.5 -
Audience 7.7 - Kind of loud and gritty but one heck of a powerful show and recording it is. We're used to pristine boards and this is not that, but there is a lot to be had from listening to such an in your face recording as this. Fun Fun Fun! -
Soundboard 9.8 - Precise and perfect, tremendous! -
Audience 8.7 - This is the one that every self respecting Zep head HAS to have, and probably already does. That being said, if you don’t have it, and maybe you are not a huge Zep person or maybe you are new to the live Led Zep world, do yourself a favor and get this now. It’s only one of the most legendary gigs ever captured on tape. -
Audience 7.4 - Legendary show. -

Audience 9.3 - Vocals are spot in to the point you would swear the gal is in your living room. -
Audience 8.8 - Good and clear recording here! -
Audience 7.0 -
Audience 9.1 - Exciting and wonderfully clear! -
Audience 8.7 to 9.0 (range) - All pretty darn good. Classic early Kiss, and very interesting at times especially when they do the groove rock numbers. Wish they did that more.
