Soundboard 9.6 - Superb sound and mix, highly enjoyable no matter who you are. -
Audience 8.9 - Sounding almost like a board tape with little audience interference and a good, immediate sound, emphasis on mid range punch. Excellent! -

Audience 9.3 - Good dynamic capture of one of the better performances. A must have! -
Soundboard 9.0 - A good one, although not as full bodied as you would expect but I’m being picky. -
Soundboard 9.3 - Well balanced and full of life, not a typically sterile board. -

Soundboard 9.1 - Technically sounds good, bright, crisp and all that, but I am not in love with the overall sound mix. It’s serviceable though. -
Audience 8.9 - Strong stuff! A must! -
Audience 9.4 - I rate this one very high because not only does it capture the performance in solid detail, but it also manages to capture that indefinable thing called vibe. This show has major vibe. Get it! -
Soundboard 9.3 - Simply a MUST HAVE if you have any interest at all in Genesis. Includes some backstage interviews, giving an amazing perspective of this epic show. Enchanting! -
Soundboard 9.2 - Good show and I love how the drums sound in this mix. -
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! -
2 Shows from Edinburgh: First show - Audience 8.0 (Clear, but a little thin) & Second show - Audience 7.8 -
Audience 9.5 - Wonderful in every way, as good as an audience recording can be from 1975. -

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. -
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! -
Pro Radio 9.7 -
Audience 8.7 - A little on the upper midrange/high side but VERY clean and crisp with very pronounced and clear vocals especially. Really great! -
Audience 8.2 - Very live, with that telltale large hall reverb but smoking hot show and audio is real good and very electric. -

Pro Video Source 8.5 - These sound like they were taken from video tape sources and have the telltale compression characteristics. These are actually several different broadcasts during the year 1976, with the final four tracks coming from UC Santa Barbara, which is also the best sounding of the batch. -
Pro FM Broadcast 9.6 - I really like the guitar tone here, a bit more grit, sounds less like a mega-hit stadium band and more like a very talented jam band. -
Soudboard 9.7 - Beautiful fullness of sound! Saweet! -
Audience 8.8 - A surprisingly great tape! Very wide spectrum and a solid, in the pocket mix. Great show too! -
