Minden 1973 Audience 8.8 - One of the earliest concert recordings ever sourced! It sounds very good, decent equipment used, and maybe placed a little back in the club but otherwise it’s a lot better than it has a right to be. The band certainly evolved quite a bit from these early club days, but the character of the band never did. Fascinating document! Minden 1974 Audience 9.4 - What a difference a year makes, as the band return to the same club a year later and wreck the place! Extremely tasty, the recording does the band justice as it literally just leaps out of the speakers with maximum ferocity while retaining enough detail and depth to let you sit and listen in total awe. Fucking hell this is good!

Audience 8.8 - Very exciting club shows recorded in a way that makes you wonder if the band themselves did not have it done. It is very clear, the only knock I give it is maybe the passage of time took away some of the brilliance, and/or it’s not a first gen tape…but it’s really good!

Audience 8.7 - Even though this recording does not feature a full and rounded spectrum of lows to high, it is very clear and resides mostly in the middle range EQ-wise. So, it’s most welcome to lovers of VDGG because there’s just not a whole lot of high quality recordings out there. This one is one of those that grows on you and sounds better and better the more you listen…get it!

Audience 8.9 - By ’73 audiences had realized King Crimson was not a typical “rock” band and this recording captures the experience of a group of people seeing and hearing something entirely unlike your basic rock concert. The taper was well positioned and used very good gear, and this source sounds very much like either 1st gen or master it is quiet (although just the faintest bit of tape noise) and has captured the ambience and mood of the gig which is nice. Both shows are represented, what a fine document this is!

Audience 9.0 - Solid job by taper to record from a good spot where the sound mix is great, and using good gear he gave us a document that you will be enjoying and playing more than once. The band is in high spirits and put on a good “rock show”. Lovely! Wings Olympia Stadium Detroit, MI 1976-05-08 Disc 1 01. Intro 02. Venus And Mars 03. Rock Show 04. Jet 05. Let Me Roll It 06.

Audience 8.8 - This recording is nice and clear, and on the “bright” side of the audio spectrum which is actually very good for those who wish to season the sound with EQ. You can add some low end here and it would make a world of difference because the sound is already good, so anything that can help it is only going to make it even better rather than overdone. Sometimes loud rock concerts in large venues have a low end rumble that makes adding anything to it a risky proposition – this one screams “please add some low end to me”! A great one to personalize, the palate is free to embellish upon.

Soundboard 8.8 - The audio is excellent soundboard but the mix leaves out most bottom end, although the bassist is there I can hear him sometimes! Is the recording trebly and thin? Nope. It’s a good recording, with everything you really came to hear which is guitar…and of that there is plenty. Ducking, diving, turning around on a dime, vibrating, electric and fun. I can highly recommend this even if the bass is…where’s the bass? More Bass Please ha ha! Still excellent, still worthwhile.

Audience 9.0 - Recorded in the middle of a whole lot of fun but retains a nice focus on the music throughout. When you listen, you begin to fully kind of appreciate the aspects of an audience tape that soundboards simply don’t provide – there’s an immersive quality to it, as long as the audio fidelity is good you can relive the concert through the taper and his position in the audience.

Audience 9.1 - A very very nice taping effort, captured here with very decent gear so the quality speaks for itself. Position of taper is good, so a nice mix of the sound from the PA, all in all it’s a good one and highly recommended. There is another Wings LA Forum 1976 but it's taken from June 22 with some filler from the 23rd whereas this is the complete June 23rd show.

Audience 9.7 - There’s no way this isn’t a professional recording, it’s too good and it doesn’t come across as a board tape but it could be, if they used some ambient mics and mixed that in but either way this is simply spectacular. If you are wondering how Eddie must sound now with so many years removed from grunge I have news for you – he sounds as good as ever and his band is great, and the songs he performs in his set are all great.

Soundboard/Audience matrix 9.5 - Here you have a recording that does both of the things you want in a live concert experience – clarity and punch via soundboard and ambience, immersion, electricity of the audience. The audience recording being blended in really adds to this experience, even when you hear excitable fans clapping nearby…it’s quite exhilarating really and this recording will eventually be hailed and revered by fans because…well, unfortunately because of the passing of Taylor Hawkins (RIP).

Soundboard 9.0 - Not a perfect board tape, there are some signs of age present but that does not really rise to the level of annoyance…it’s present but not to a huge degree.

Audience 8.7 - A surprisingly decent tape surfaces from Italy where Genesis found initial acceptance in the early part of their career. Sound is clear for the most part, and the timbre is pleasing to the ear…if I can knock it I would say maybe it is a bit compressed in the middle, so no crispness in the highs nor definition in the low end but it’s not the kind of compression that you get from, say, a video tape. It’s quite good like I said so feel secure if you get it knowing it will be worthwhile.

Audience 8.3 - Somewhat thin and rather raucus, with an outdoor venue quality and perhaps taper somewhere right in the middle – not close up and not too far – but even so, I find the guitar almost too overwhelming and can imagine what it was for the concert-goers that day. So, if you like your guitar really loud, here is your tape.

Audience 9.0 - A really good recording seemingly done on good Japanese gear so you get a sense of placement, good sonic clarity and guitar tone is dialed in.

Audience 8.5 - At first it’s a little over-driven and very harsh but it all smoothes out and becomes an astonishing document…still rather crude but powerful and all instruments are heard. I was transfixed by this, by the band’s tightness and such excellent guitar! Wow, to have been there… Disc two is a very rare document of the John Kay Band opening for Steppenwolf in 1972 and is also very good…and very Steppenwolfy as you could imagine.

Audience 8.8 - A great tape here! I heard pretty much everything happening on stage, and the mix is not bad. I was one of those who completely overlooked this band, and should have made more of an effort…but here we are now and I am digging it!

Audience 8.6 - This tape does not offer a wide dynamic range, but neither is it compressed sounding, so it’s not awful on the ears. The good thing about capturing a band like Genesis during live performances is that the PA and mix is usually good, and not a distorted metal mess, so even average gear can produce reasonably good results.

Audience 8.7 - Sound resides somewhere in the mid range and does not feature well defined high end but does have a warm, round bottom to it. The mix does not favor any one instrument, it’s rather even, and all in all the listening experience, while not exceptional in any way, is also not offensive.

Audience 8.3 - A dusty old tape, with signs of age including a bit of tape hiss. Sounds to me like this old tape could have benefited greatly from some remastering work but as it is, it’s listenable and a very fiery performance by the band. I like that you can hear every instrument, I think this recording has promise and I hope it gets a facelift soon.

Audience 9.3 - A tape that I knew nothing of its existence and suddenly, wow, here’s this great sounding complete show from 1981 out of the blue! Lovely stuff, I can feel myself sitting in the seat partying with my buds while Joe does his thing.

Studio and Live 8.7 – 9.9 - A beautiful collection of recordings featuring the three original members (Tommy Shannon, Uncle John Turner, Johnny Winter) during various time periods over the decades. Most notable are the inclusion of some very rare 1969 studio sessions, and reunion material taken from Willie Nelson’s Arlyn Studios back in 1992. This material is outstanding and has yet to be officially released. Johnny Winter "Back Together Again 69-92" Disc 1 Johnny Winter with Edgar Winter Olympic Auditorium Los Angeles, CA 1970-03-07 01 -Mean Town Blues 02 -Talk To Your Daughter 03 -Mean Mistreater 04 -Johnny B.Goode 05 -Tobacco Road 06 -Drum Solo including a bit from "Frankenstein" 07 -Tell The Truth Band: Johnny Winter-Guitar,Vocals Edgar Winter-Sax,Electric Piano,vocals Uncle John Turner-drums Tommy Shannon-Bass Disc 2 The Nashville Sessions 1969 Recorded at "The Warehouse" studio Nashville, TN. 1969 1. -I'm Yours And I'm Hers (Take 1) 2. -I'm Yours And I'm Hers (Take 3) 3. -I'm Yours And I'm Hers (Take 5) 4. -I'm Yours And I'm Hers (Take 6) 5. -I'm Yours And I'm Hers (Take 7) 6. -I'm Yours And I'm Hers (Take 8) 7. -I'm Yours And I'm Hers (Take 15) Texas Gunslingers Sessions 1992 Arlyn Studios 1992 Austin, TX. 8. -Little Red Rooster 9. -Mother-In-Law Blues 10.-Shoulder Holster 11.-Shoulder Holster (Remix) 12.-Bandido (Greg Main on guitars) 13.-Parchman Farm (Greg Main guitars) 14. -Lo Down Situation (Greg Main guitars) -

Audience 8.8 - This is what we all look forward to as Rush collectors, another great, and rare, Rush show from one of their best time periods. While not quite as clear as the Boston 79, this tape gives us a great aural spectrum for our ears to delight in. Bright, and plenty of good atmosphere while retaining a tight focus even in a large arena. Rush Richfield Coliseum Cleveland, OH.

Soundboard 9.7 - I saw this band around the same time and I can tell you it’s great that there are board tapes around because even though they were spectacular live, the sound was very dense and there’s a lot going on. With this tape you can hear it all in glorious quality, it’s prime stuff, psychedelic rock taken to the next level.

Audience 8.8 - On the rarity scale this is one of those needle in a haystack recordings. It’s an obscure “group” (actually just a duo but here it sounds like they have some accompaniment), and the music straddles the fence between fold psyche and space rock (that’s a good thing). I would say this couple was trying to stretch something as far as they could in the context of a “folk” duo. Interesting material, very positive vibes! Emtidi Quarter Latin Berlin, Germany 1973 01.

Audience 9.2 - A lively, airy, and detailed (especially with percussion and vocals) recording. I don’t think they could have done much better than this because the taper position is right in the sweet spot. Genesis Will Rogers Auditorium Fort Worth, TX. 1976-05-07 Disc 1 1. -Dance On A Volcano 2. -The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway 3. -Fly On A Windshield 4. -The Carpet Crawlers 5. -The Cinema Show 6. -Robbery Assault & Battery 7. -White Mountain 8. -Firth Of Fifth Disc 2 1. -Entangled 2. -Squonk 3. -Supper's Ready 4. -I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe) 5. -Los Endos 6. -It -
Audience 9.5 - Astounding! Not just for the excellent sound but the dynamics are so present here, you get lush, rich lows and then all the way up through the spectrum including detailed but not sizzling highs. Combine all that with the energy of Tusk performed with a marching band at the LA Forum and man, yeah, this is the stuff! Fleetwood Mac The Forum Inglewood, CA December 6, 1979 Disc 1 01 Say You Love Me 02 The Chain 03 Don't Stop 04 Dreams 05 Oh Well 06 Rhiannon 07 Oh Daddy 08 What Makes You Think You're The One 09 Sara 10 Not That Funny 11 Save Me A Place Disc 2 12 Landslide 13 Tusk (with the USC Marching Band) 14 Angel 15 You Make Loving Fun 16 I'm So Afraid 17 World Turning 18 Blue Letter 19 Go Your Own Way 20 Sisters Of The Moon 21 Second Hand News 22 Songbird -
Soundboard 9.6 - A tight, expertly mixed board tape. I think how they mic’d this up to include audience was a great idea, it adds so much to this recording. Lou feeds off their excitement. Lou Reed - "Live At The Roxy" December 1,1976 Roxy Theatre, Los Angeles KMET FM Radio Broadcast Disc 1 01 Intro 02 Sweet Jane 03 I Believe In Love 04 Lisa Says 05 Kicks 06 She's My Best Friend 07 I'm Waiting For The Man Disc 2 01 A Sheltered Life 02 You Wear It So Well 03 Claim To Fame 04 Vicious Circle 05 Heroin 06 Walk On The Wild Side 07 Coney Island Baby Lou Reed - vocals, guitar Michael Fonfara - keyboards Bruce Yaw - bass Marty Fogel - sax Michael Suchorsky - drums -
Amsterdam 1973 Soundboard 8.9 - Nice to have good, clean board tapes of this line up. I think this is his best band, and I think he sounds terrific here. Sheffield 1973 Soundboard 8.9 - Another great board tape featuring Lou’s best band. I love the sound of the band let alone their musicianship. Lou rises to the occasion, he knows he has to deliver or he’ll be overshadowed by these fine players. Thankfully, he actually does!

Audience 8.7 - This band, while not a household name by any stretch, actually did gain quite a following throughout Europe and even to a much lesser degree in the USA. They played a style of progressive rock that was accessible but did not convert to singing in English completely and that probably won over more fans in their home country. The recording here is clear, it provides just enough dynamics and detail to let you sink yourself into their sound, although the recording suffers some level problems towards the end, but recovers enough to end on a high note. The material is great, I am reminded of Pink Floyd, Eloy, and perhaps maybe a bit of ELP.

Audience 8.8 - A good, bright recording that features rich bass, and strong vocals in particular. This allows you to hear the musicianship which believe it or not, these guys have! I also appreciate their nods to the classics. W.A.S.P. Elysee Montmartre Paris, France October 28, 1992 Disc 1 01 The Invisible Boy 02 The Real Me 03 L.O.V.E.

Audience 8.8 - I was surprised at just how good this sounded. The first half of the first song you wonder how it will be, and you fear it might wobble because taper is adjusting things on the fly but it gets sorted and wow, I have to give props to taper on this one! He sounds maybe halfway back in the venue, so not close up, but he’s using either high end consumer gear or maybe something more professional to be able to lock in his levels and get a really good timbre.

Audience 8.8 - A very satisfying recording, with a great snare drum sound and I highlight that because it is often overlooked. Dio sounds clear and if I fault anything it’s maybe Toni’s guitar which is just slightly behind the overall sound coming from the mains but still it’s really not too bad and the solos really come across clearly. It’s a fine live sound all around and is comfortable on the ears.

Fillmore East 1969 Audience 8.4 - A bit of hiss is present, the music is not crystal clear until the guitar kicks in and then it comes alive. I’ll tell you what listening to this did for me: I started to understand why hippies tripped balls to Canned Heat, there is a very weird acid vibe going on, things get distorted and intense, and extremely psychedelic in a blues based presentation that is really kind of crazy. Maybe it was due to the band blowing up amplifiers, I don’t know but it’s intoxicating and you can’t stop listening to it, maybe it’s just this show, this weird recording that seems to do weird things…on purpose? You decide. Atlanta Pop Festival 1969 Audience 8.8 - A very interesting sounding old tape, with lead guitar and vocals quite present as if taper was real close but no distortion (although some tape hiss). The performance is bristling with acid blues rock electricity. It’s just palpable, I get these guys I really understand what the magic was. Canned Heat Fillmore East New York, New York, U.S.A. 02-07-1969 Disc 1 01 - Ain't That Lovin' You Baby 02 - Bullfrog Blues 03 - Sugar Mama - Bass solo 04 - Killin' Floor 05 - On The Road Again 06 - Bear Talking 07 - The Boogie Disc 2 1st Annual Atlanta Pop Festival Atlanta International Raceway Fulton County, GA July 4, 1969 01 -Going Up the Country 02 -Bring It on Home 03 -Number Nine Train 04 -When You're Twenty-Six 05 -Fried Hockey Boogie Line-up: Bob The Bear Hite - vocals, harp Alan Wilson - guitar, harp, vocals Henry Vestine - guitar Larry Taylor - bass Adolfo Fito de la Parra - drums -
All Soundboard 9.3 - This entirely depends on how much you want to hear blazing, inventive lead guitar and don’t mind if the bass sounds more like a rhythm guitar, That is what the bass sounds like to my ears, it’s there, but it’s not “low end” it’s more like a heavy rhythm guitar. It works for this style of rock though – and it’s all good stuff, if maybe a tad generic with the singing.

Audience 8.7 - So let me put it this way – the recording is not perfect, but is near perfect for someone who needs to try and understand what makes Iron Maiden special. This captures a night, just another night (in fact this was a stand of shows at the Radio City Music Hall) on a long, never ending tour for the band but they play as if it was their last show. It’s amazing how night after night, town after town, tour after tour, Iron Maiden never gives a bad performance. I love this capture even though it suffers a few bumps and bruises, because it’s in the trenches from the hardcore fans perspective, it’s as if the taper is working as hard to capture the gig as the band is in delivering it. I LOVE it, and once I started playing this, I could not stop. I think you’ll love it too.

Audience 9.5 - Holy Moly this is RED HOT! The recording is right in your face but not distorted at all. It’s amazing how close this sounds, its super clear too. The only knock I have is that the bottom end is not as beefy as I would prefer. I really wanted more low end punch but if that is the only knock, then you probably should explore this one because not only is it great audio-wise but the playing is off the charts, and I mean seriously Jeff Beck and Stanley Clarke are at the absolute peak of Mount Everest here.

Audience 9.0 - A very good recording, maybe a little “soft” but that is the house I think, bass is the predominant player, guitar is not as far up in the mix as one would prefer but it’s decent and all notes are audible. The drums are nice here, and the atmosphere is not pronounced but is present to some degree. It has the sense of just being a smaller venue, which it is, and so you sense that as you listen. Good players are joined up with Lenny, guys with plenty of jazz pedigree.

Audience 9.0 - This is a really bold and vibrant recording, where you get this palpable “thwap” of the drums that feels like you are there. In very quiet passages there is the slightest of tape hiss but it’s actually kind of hard to find things to be critical of with this one. It’s really good!

Pro SDBRD 9.5 - Recorded for broadcast this uses two different sources of the broadcast but you don’t really notice the transition. What you will notice is how amazing this is, and what makes it really cool is how much Peter addresses the audience. It’s an intimate feeling gig, everyone is so dialed in to what is happening in the room with Peter…imagine, no cell phones, no distracted idiots, just genuine love and appreciation for the performer and his craft. I miss that.

Audience 9.3 - This is the result of tapers who CARE about what they are doing to the point of using the best gear, for starters, seating in the best location, and using the utmost care to successfully capture the event…then having the prescience to preserve the result for future generations to enjoy. This is AWESOME in every way. Fuck man, if you can’t appreciate this recording, and this artist, just do us all a favor and find some other thing because music ain’t it for you.
