• Audience 8.8 - A warm and inviting recording that spreads the audio spectrum out very evenly. May be from midway back in the hall, as it is not super sharp, but likewise it is also not too echoey or bassy either. It is a pretty atmospheric sound, with guitar leads swirling above and around adding to the liveness of the recording.
  • Audience 8.5 - Solid punch but maybe some lack of clarity in the lower mid to low end, although for some reason the bass kick is clear.  It’s nice to have something from this early on in pretty decent fidelity though, so I have to recommend this one. It’s nice!
  • Audience 9.1 - Taper was very close to the main PA but it does not distort and the sound goes directly to your brain, it does not stop for directions. HOT HOT HOT!! Get it.
  • Soundboard 9.6 - This rating reflects what I feel about this recording in the way that the guitar and bass come across in the mix. So, what you get is a well rounded, brassy bass sound that is articulate and not lost in the low end wastelands or overshadowed by Pete. It sounds like two guitar players playing in perfect harmony, and a lot of Who recordings you do not get that effect so much as just a wall of power and volume. This one is just so good in that sense and deserves a special acknowledgement.
  • Audience 8.6 - A serviceable recording, it stays sort of in the midrange spectrum but is pretty powerful anyway. I suspect this may be audio that was taken from a video source, but to my ears it sounds better than a typical home video camera audio capture.
  • Audience 9.0 - The recording levels are a bit low, but there’s plenty enough headroom in the recording to allow max volume and it sounds killer.
  • Audience 7.8 - A recording that slowly gets a little better after the first song or two but I have to tell you – for historical purposes this recording is the first time Brian Johnson appears on tape with the band (live, not studio). I think he does a fine job filling the spot too, but that’s up to every fan to decide.
  • Radio Broadcast 9.7 - Great job on the recording by the station.
  • Audience 9.0 - A very “present” recording, meaning the audio captured on this tape sounds remarkably realistic which is ideal for a live recording. Love it!
  • Soundboard 9.8 - Simply fantastic! A MUST!!!!
  • Soundboard 8.6 - Very clear, with occasional wow and flutter but the atmosphere is intact and the history is undeniable. A certain must for any Kiss fan!
  • Audience 8.3 - At first, you would have expected this to sound awful, being an awfully loud band playing in a small club with primitive gear…and it’s not exactly perfect but for what it is it is DAMN good!  Guitars up front, vocals a but buried, drums reasonably clear, but you get a real sense of the action and the sound is not bad at all.  Historically, this is absolutely a must for any ACDC fan.
  • SDBRD 9.7 - A professional recording and it shows.
  • Audience 8.1 - Do not be dismayed by this sound rating, in fact this has been re-mastered and is vastly superior to all other versions out there. The lineage of this recording was the cause of some confusion for decades – it was believed to have been from Rotterdam but is in fact Amsterdam. Why this show has been overlooked by collectors is beyond me, it’s a marathon concert and should be in the collection. Maybe it was the marginal sound quality of previous versions? Oh well, now we have this.
  • Audience 7.4 - Interesting to listen to this, it’s almost like they are performing on a soundstage, but the quality is only so-so. I do not know what to make of it, my instinct says this was a TV broadcast, maybe this was recorded off the TV volume?  It’s not too bad, just not a very wide dynamic range.
