Audience 8.4 - This is a special recording, mainly because it reveals another element to the live experience – a really rocking band with a rocking bassist. What do I mean? Well, you actually hear John Paul Jones CLEARLY defined notes, and I don’t mean it is a bass heavy recording. It’s actually more mid range, but man, what a revelation to actually hear every note from the bass and very raunchy, dirty guitar tone from Jimmy Page. A clear and strong, but a little crispy in the upper mid to high frequencies, recording. Still, everyone should really get this one. Total electric excitement!

Audience 8.3 - A good and clear tape for the time period. Might be struggling to get the separation of instruments during really intense moments but you can really get into this one for sure.

Audience 8.3 - Good and clear.

Audience 8.7 - Recoded on professional equipment and it shows. Crisp highs, and a good, lively atmosphere. You get a little bit of that big hall cavernous ambiance here that keeps vocals just behind the stage sound.

Audience 8.1 - I would call this a fine recording, it captures every performer on stage as it happened, although not in the clearest fidelity, but you can really still enjoy this because it is not the kind of problem that distracts. It’s a good, not great, recording.

Audience 7.4 - Suffers from large stadium boominess, lack of distinction and separation of instruments. As the show goes on, the ear gets tuned in and you begin to actually kind of get into it. The thing is, it does have a certain “realness” to it.

Audience 8.8 - One of the best from this period. Very clear, and close and wow, what a show! Pretty intense is all I can say.

Audience 7.8 - Too bad this is not better quality because certainly it demands the attention of music collectors being one of the few times Jeff Beck jammed live on stage with John McLaughlin. I mean, you have to believe Jeff was pushed to try things he hadn’t even thought of yet, so to get to hear all that is a real treat regardless of the average audio quality. I should be specific and tell you that indeed you will hear all the guitars reasonably clear as those instruments thankfully come through the best.

Audience 8.8 - Everything is clear and delivered to the listener with no interference, artifacts, irritating audience chatter or other. A really nice thing is this.

Audience 8.3 - This has been mastered, because where the sounds are placed actually helps better define this recording – the vocals “should” be buried deep but they aren’t, and the bass and the drums are in their own space too. Remarkable to get this so clear because it sounds like at one time it may have been a mess. Bochum 1987 - Audience 8.7 - Wow the bass is kicking, and so defined!

Audience 9.3 - Wow ... somebody knew what they were doing!
