Soundboard 9.7 - I love the clarity but also the killer room sound which is preserved here. Gritty performance, but impeccable sound. -
Radio Broadcast 9.4 - Slightly dated sounding it’s still very strong, clear (sounds like someone did some work on it) and pretty much everything you want.

Soundboard 9.0 - Nothing particularly wrong with this one, but a did feel as though the mix was a little bit overcrowded at time (especially when the band was cooking), but at the same time I loved how the organ sounded and the sheer power of this band came across very convincingly.

Soundboard 9.7 - A little bright, but kick ass energy. A must! -
Pro Radio Broadcast. -
Audience 8.0-8.4 - Gets better and better. Strong stage mix, great bass and drum sound, and oh that guitar, blazing! -
Audience 7.1 - Boomy, loud, raunchy, phases in and out sometimes…but the incredible electric acid blues rock vibe shines through it all. Sometimes it sounds like you are standing too close to their main PA, it’s scary real this tape! -
Audience 8.5 - This is one very loud recording, and while it does not distort, it’s in need of an EQ job to tamper down some of the mid and upper mid to high band just to give it more listenability. As it is, it sounds very much like an early Iron Maiden tape…it just has that quality to it. There are very few live tapes of this outfit, so I take this with a lot of curiosity to hear what these guys were about and can forgive the fact that, while this tape falls below my own threshold of what I can tolerate more than once, it does live up to satisfying my curiosity. I find the band full of promise and potential, and I want to hear more, better quality live tapes but will start with listening to their LP release which I recently obtained.Paul Di Anno - Battlezone Shepherd's Bush Empire London, England 1986-04-02 01.

Post EQ band originally released on Blotto Records in 1984. Import from UK, SEALED. -
Brand New - Sealed original pressing on Black Widow (not the newer reissue) -
Audience 8.6 - A gentle sound, like in a coffee shop or small TV studio. Very intimate! -
Audience 9.4 - Super clean and present, right up front recording that sparkles. -
All Pro Studio 9.7 - All tracks were professionally recorded by Pete Townshend in his home studio in Old Church Street, Chelsea, and Twickenham. -
Soundboard 8.6-9.0 - Varying degrees but all very good -
Audience 8.8 - Crisp highs and a good round bottom end here, maybe just a slightly bunched up middle but this recording is slamming. -
Audience 9.7 - For me, this right here encapsulates the 70's for me growing up. When I first discovered rock and roll, the radio was on repeat with the Frampton Comes Alive! album, and everyone in the neighborhood had a copy. I had it on 8 track. This live recording is the bomb, just a wonderful document of a great moment in 70's rock music history. I love the atmosphere too, everything about this actually does "come alive" and for that it deserves the high rating.

Audience 9.2 - A really nicely done tape, which of course anyone with a modern digital recorder and good mics “should” be able to accomplish in 2023.

Soundboard 9.2 - Excellent and vibrant! -
Audience 9.0 - This is a really bold and vibrant recording, where you get this palpable “thwap” of the drums that feels like you are there. In very quiet passages there is the slightest of tape hiss but it’s actually kind of hard to find things to be critical of with this one. It’s really good!

Audienjce 8.8 - Very present and clear and nice kick drum sound that anchors everything. -
Audience 8.7 - This recording is very hard to distinguish between audience or soundboard. I guess the later, but who knows? Either way, it’s pretty good.

Audience 9.0 -A fine recording that does not have that digital signature to it, although many digital recordings are fine it’s just that an analog capture more faithfully replicates the vibe of the event being captured.

Pro SDBRD 9.5 - Recorded for broadcast this uses two different sources of the broadcast but you don’t really notice the transition. What you will notice is how amazing this is, and what makes it really cool is how much Peter addresses the audience. It’s an intimate feeling gig, everyone is so dialed in to what is happening in the room with Peter…imagine, no cell phones, no distracted idiots, just genuine love and appreciation for the performer and his craft. I miss that.

Audience 9.3 - This is the result of tapers who CARE about what they are doing to the point of using the best gear, for starters, seating in the best location, and using the utmost care to successfully capture the event…then having the prescience to preserve the result for future generations to enjoy. This is AWESOME in every way. Fuck man, if you can’t appreciate this recording, and this artist, just do us all a favor and find some other thing because music ain’t it for you. Yes that is harsh, but you’ll understand once you’ve listened to this.

Audience 8.6 - Some good tones herein, pretty bright and clear. Enjoy this one! -
Audience 8.0 - This has a very pleasant warm feeling to it, very intimate vibe. Sound fidelity is quite good although levels are almost right at the breaking point so there's no headroom to play with as far as EQ. It has probably been mastered already, from a master tape it sounds like. It's a good 8.0 to my ears. Very enjoyable.
