Audience 9.2 - This merits quite a bit of adoration for hardcore fans and collectors because it is a beloved show that fell through the cracks of time due to it being so incomprehensibly cut up. We don’t know why it was that way, and therefore an otherwise excellent tape was relegated to the proverbial dustbin…until today. The composite was done by an adoring fan with an ear, by taking bits here and there from other recordings only days apart from the Chicago date, was able to manage a very compelling final product. Worth exploring!

Pro FM 9.6 - Sound quality is absolutely spot on but so is the band. They were well rested and rehearsed, and it clearly shows with stunning accuracy and a packed set list too. Get this! -
Audience 8.4 - Good mix, everything clear and strong albeit somewhat one dimensional. -
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. -

Audience 8.6 - This old tape has been extensively reworked to present a fan favorite in as good of quality as ever. It’s not a great tape recording but it’s actually kind of a charmer, this is due in part because this old theater was a favorite venue for many of the classic UK prog and Canterbury groups of the time. It’s a very appealing concert, you can kind of sense the band relishes it.

Audience 7.0 - Compressed sound, but it’s a killer show and the first time Gabriel wears the fox costume on stage. Historic. -
Soundboard 9.4 - An expertly mixed affair, with a particularly lovely and warm vocal presence. Pretty thumping bass too!

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. -
Soundboard 9.7 - Does not suffer the sdbrd doldrums, it is loud and vibrant. Great! -
Audience 9.2 - A lively, airy, and detailed (especially with percussion and vocals) recording. I don’t think they could have done much better than this because the taper position is right in the sweet spot.

Audience 8.0 - Reasonably clear but there’s that lack of wideness that characterizes a recording captured with condenser mics on cheap decks. But it is not bad for a 1972 recording at all. All can be heard! -
Audience 9.5 - Wonderful in every way, as good as an audience recording can be from 1975. -
Audience 8.7 - Sound resides somewhere in the mid range and does not feature well defined high end but does have a warm, round bottom to it. The mix does not favor any one instrument, it’s rather even, and all in all the listening experience, while not exceptional in any way, is also not offensive.
