Soundboard 8.5 - It’s really hard to tell but I think it’s a board because of the way the sound is mixed. Vocals are way up front, and then they get pushed a little back, and there’s a lack of surrounding noise. There is some tape noise present. The audience noise you do hear sounds like it is picked up from one of the stage mics. -
Audience 7.2–8.2 - What you get here is a very raucous sounding tape because when the band is at full volume the recorder can’t deal with it so there’s some clutter and slight high end break up, but when the band is more low key, such as a straight blues number, it’s wonderful. The music? Off the hook jamming! -
Soundboard 9.1 - When I hear recordings like this, I am hesitant to consider it a pure soundboard because I am aware of the presence of “room” here, especially when it’s guitar and/or vocals by themselves and you really hear it. So, probably run through a board yes, but mic’d up for a recording rather than for PA if that makes any sense. -
Audience 9.0 - I have rated this highly because it transcends the boring sameness of most modern aud recordings and sounds more like a 70’s boot! I can’t explain it really. It’s just, to me, the Stones should always sound like the Cleveland 1978 bootleg LP which really sort of sums up the Stones for me.
