Audience 7.8 -
Audience 7.0 - Thin and distant -
Audience 8.4 - One of the better early Italian shows, bass maybe pushing hard, but it’s clear and energetic. Lovely stuff! -
Audience 8.4 -
Audience 8.3 - Decent recording that has some warmth to it. -
Audience 7.5 - Clear but lacking depth (Early Show). -
Audience 8.2 - A tiny bit of overload in the very lowest frequency (kick drum) but all the music is here and pretty clear too. Decent tape, nothing spectacular. -
Soundboard 9.5 -
Audience 8.3 - Sounds kind of distant, but because it is not echoey you can adjust and then place yourself in the seat of the taper. -
Soundboard 9.7 - Does not suffer the sdbrd doldrums, it is loud and vibrant. Great! -
Audience 8.7 - A good and clear sounding tape here, some very minor crackle noise now and then but that is quibbling. This is a great tape, limited only by typical analog tape sonic limitation (where it kind of narrows the bandwidth of the entire frequency range, although it is clear, it lacks that hi-fi punch). -
Audience 8.9 - Very nice and clear with the keyboards more up front this time. Bass sounds sweet too. A great recording! -
Soundboard 8.8 -
Audience 7.6 - Has a kind of thin quality to it even though you can hear everything on stage. Sounds like it needs a nice big punch in the middle, someone needs to remaster this one. Not crappy, just needs a mastering job. -
Audience 8.5 - A touch of tape saturation but pretty powerful sounding and the drums sound great! -
Soundboard 9.7 - A good, bright sounding board and not completely lifeless and flat. -
Soundboard 9.2 - Great if not a tad flat (as most soundboards can be) -
Soundboard 9.7 -
Audience 9.2 - Very punchy up front, clean, sweet levels and great mix. Wonderful! -
Audience 9.0 - This is a wonderful recording in almost every way. The sound balance is impeccable. The only complaint is a little crispiness when hard cymbal crashing, otherwise CRANK it! -
Audience 7.3 - Distant and narrow, but seems like a good mastering can fix some of the limitations. Needs a stereo widening and some punch in the mids and highs. -
Soundboard 9.3 - Not a pure board, there is some ambiance mixed in from the audience. I think this was a broadcast, it’s quite good! -
Audience 7.0 -
Audience 7.7 - A wide stereo feel, a touch of that large hall sound, pretty clear with a decent mix. Some audience chatter. -
2 Shows from Edinburgh: First show - Audience 8.0 (Clear, but a little thin) & Second show - Audience 7.8 -
Audience 8.4 - Good mix, everything clear and strong albeit somewhat one dimensional. -
Audience 8.7 - Good strong and clean! Lovely! -
Audience 8.5 - Good solid recording of what sounds like it may be an outdoor show. Atmosphere is great! Love it. -
Audience 9.5 - Wonderful in every way, as good as an audience recording can be from 1975. -
Audience 8.9 - One of the better Lamb recordings almost as good as Groningen but it’s a bit boomier maybe. Still, gotta love this one, it’s really like being there. -
Audience 7.6 - Obviously taken from a master tape, it’s a good recording that suffers from some kind of sonic limitation with the mic itself judging by the sort of squashed sound and slightly annoying quality to the timbre. Technically speaking the show is well captured and depending on one’s tolerance to the particular offending frequency, can be quite enjoyable (use an EQ to notch out the bad frequency). -
Audience 8.8 - Wonderful and dynamic, a great show!...Selling England. -
Audience 8.9 - Fantastic! -
Pro Radio Broadcast 9.5 -
Soundboard 9.7 - A deft touch is what it took to make such a pleasant mix. Everything is where it should be, and the overall sound is something you might find on officially released records. Top shelf. -
Pro recording 9.5 - Sizzling hot everything is expertly mixed! -
FM Radio Broadcast 9.2 -
Audience 7.8 and Audience 6.9 - The second gig is for historical reference as the sound is not great. -
Audience 8.6 - A very clear, surprisingly so, open air recording made with what sounds like really decent gear. Every now and then the volume fluctuates but it sounds to me like they are fiddling with the levels, it usually gets back up to proper levels after a second or two and it’s not on every song. -
CD 1 - FM Radio Broadcast 8.8 - A bit of tape hiss is present but this is a great great show! Lovely performance and decent sound. CD 2 - Audience 7.9 - A tape that went from a dismal 7.2 rating to a very decent 7.9 thanks to some painstaking mastering and restoration work. It was unbelievably hissy but that was mostly removed without sacrificing anything. Comparison was made and the results speak for themselves. -
Audience 9.0 and Audience 8.6 - The Fillmore West show is a revelation. This has been floating around mislabeled as Winterland 69, and in horrible quality. This is the actual venue, and comes from the original master and sounds incredible! The Boston show is also real nice sounding, with an immediate sound, with some minor tape artifacts present. A great two-fer here, vintage ’69. Free never sounded so good! -
Audience 9.0 - Rated very high for the excellent mid range punch where the guitar tone is magical. -
Audience 8.5 -
Audience 8.4 - This is a great remaster here, this is a full point and a half better than you’ve heard before. -
BBC Sessions...As expected, excellent pro sound! -
Bracknell - Audience 8.8 - A touch of tape saturation but it’s so clear and loud and energetic you won’t hardly notice. Excellent! ~ Coatham - Audience 8.7 ~ Tampa - Soundboard 8.9 -
FM Radio Broadcast 8.7 - Pretty rocking debut, and even though the audio quality is not perfect (although it is great) I really like the rawness and band interplay of their early gigs. -
