Audience 7.3 - 8.0 - Gets better as the show progresses. Let me just say this – I think this show is hotter than the officially released Live album! Maybe because when a band knows they are being recorded, they are less “free” in their playing. I don’t know but this show is off the hook jamming, wish it sounded a little better but even so I am happy to get to hear it. -
Audience 9.3 - You could not ask for a better break than having this marathon ass kicking show recorded so well. -
Oldenburg, Germany 1971 - Audience 8.3 - The star of this 2CD (guitar smoking hot!) / Rome, Italy 1971 - Audience 6.7 - Very noisy and brassy. -
Audience 6.8 - Very thin, but a low gen tape used here so it is pretty clear and guitar is the most present along with Ian and a pretty prominent kick drum too. The show is marvelous wish it sounded better. -
Audience 7.9 - It’s hard give this a below 8 rating because of technical limitations of the recorder (a touch of high end distortion) because it is a very exciting and highly amped show captured quite well for the primitive hear that must have been used. I can hear everything and guitar is loud and up front. The distortion present is not a killer, it’s there but it is as unobtrusive as distortion can be. A fun recording, puts you right there. -
Audience 8.4 - Keyboards shine, all other instruments a little behind keys but clearly heard. -
Audience 7.7 - The rating does nothing to express the magnitude of intensity that this show has. It gives you a very real sense of how completely bombastic and insanely loud Deep Purple were at this time. Incredible on many levels, so use this to show your kids how we rocked back in the day. Amazing! -

Soundboard 9.0 - Sounds kind of thin and compressed to me but it is perfectly clear being a modern sdbrd. Features songs with Nine Inch Nails, and a lot of good bonus material. All in all a very good CD! -
Audience 6.8 - For the hardcore collector of the Ziggy days. A rare tape though, wish it was better. -
Audience 7.3 - Suffers from being in a bad spot on the floor but the perspective is interesting nonetheless. It lacks depth and clarity for sure, but hearing this show gives one a real sense of being right there with the tapers. -

Soundboard 9.7 - Super clean with at least a little bit of audience leaking into the stage mics to give a touch of ambience which otherwise leaves more of a one-dimensional sound. So, I like this! -
Audience 9.0 - A great sounding tape! Very clear and good mix too. I get a good feel for the venue and the crowd, my kind of audience tape here. -
Audience 6.9 - Bowie clearly audible above the din. Not great separation of instruments, with some minor analog tape saturation at full volume. -
Soundboard 9.5 -
Audience 7.8 - Concert Hall sound capturing his last show of the tour. I can enjoy this, but I do have to season it to taste, mainly in adjusting just a little bit to give it more bass response. It’s not bad, it’s not great, it’s good and there’s something here to work with in my opinion. -
Audience 8.2 - There’s a more intimate, immediate sound to this, a little flat but very clear. -
Audience 7.4 - Lo-fi but all instruments clearly heard, not that bad, you can get into this one. -
Audience 8.7 - Explosive guitar, slight tape hiss, and a touch on the muddy side but it RIPS so hard that all the minor flaws dissipate quickly. Rock yer socks off! -
VOL 3 ... Soundboard 9.0 - Excellent! -
VOL 2 ... Soundboard 9.0 - Excellent! -
VOL 1 ... Soundboard 9.0 - Excellent! -
Audience 7.2 - 7.6 During the quite (or less loud I should say) portions, this tape shines. At full throttle, there’s a bandwidth issue with this tape, meaning the music is too much for the narrow bandwidth of the cassette to contain. That being said, there’s no distortion, miraculously – and despite the massive volume you still get a reasonable clearness of the music. If it was just a little more distinct, this could be one of those “feels like your there” tapes. -
Audience 6.9 Get ready for mass volume, shocking that the tape does not distort! You want guitar?... good because that is what you get the most of from this show – then Ginger and then vocals. -

Audience 8.4 Clear if a bit distant, and levels kind of low. But it’s a recording you can turn up and add just about anything to it to flavor the sound – it’s a great pallet to paint upon. -

Audience 8.7 - A LOUD experience! This sound is coming at you with vengeance but thankfully does not distort. Taper knew how to adjust levels, so maximum volume at acceptable levels … brilliant! -
Audience 8.9 - Super duper guitar and drums in this mix, especially the toms and cymbals which normally you do not get a distinction out of them. Guitar just absolutely KILLS in this mix and on this performance. Wow! -
Audience 8.6 - A little far back, in the middle of a rowdy crowd, and not clearly defined with a very deep bass pumping. Now, the positives – it is a clear recording with no distortion and vocals are above it all allowing you to hear lyrics well, guitar fills out the rest of the sound in the mix. Drums and bass are occupying an indistinct bottom end, although let me give credit to the sound guy because bass drum is excellent here. This recording will grow on you as you adjust. -
Audience 8.8 - A very solid recording with kicking mid and bottom, but yet pretty defined. Maybe a little compressed, but not much, and a great show, so this one comes recommended. -
Audience 9.4 - Why such a high rating? Because this recording captures the fire on stage in a way that puts you literally right in the front of the action, clearly, and with force. The taper needs a few minutes to find position but once he settles in, strap on your seat belts because you will be in for one wild ride! -
