Audience 9.0 - This is yet another outstanding sonic treat for those who, like me, are revisiting the last major tour Frank would undertake in his career. Lots of great playing, even though he maybe wore out a little deep into the tour, he really shines on this one. Recommended!

Audience 9.3 - This recording sparkles, a very pro effort made by the tapers who apparently had excellent seats on the first row of the balcony center stage.

Soundboard 9.1 - I am not sure if this was recorded for broadcast or not, it sure sounds like it may have been, I mean may have been broadcast as I hear some of the “FM compression” characteristics here…but it is a fine board tape nonetheless. Jackson Browne Municipal Auditorium, Nashville, TN February 22, 1978 Disc 1 01 Take it Easy 02 The Fuse 03 Fountain of Sorrow 04 Here Comes Those Tears Again 05 Before the Deluge 06 Your Bright Baby Blues 07 Rock Me on the Water 08 Cocaine 09 Rosie 10 For a Dancer Disc 2 11 Doctor My Eyes 12 These Days 13 For Everyman 14 Walking Slow 15 Running On Empty 16 Love Needs a Heart 17 The Pretender 18 The Load Out 19 Stay 20 The Road and the Sky This show is soon after the release of Running on Empty, Jackson Browne's most popular album. Great performance of "Fountain of Sorrow". -
Soundboard 8.9 - An intimate performance for the university students. A warm recording, kind of sounds like it could be coming from your own living room, in the mix, his band is slightly muted in order to highlight Jackson’s acoustic guitar/vocals and I think it is by design. Jackson Browne Jabberwocky Club, Syracuse University, Syracuse, NY Mar. 27, 1971 Disc 1 01 Under The Falling Sky 02 World To Gain 03 Together Again 04 Mae Jean Goes To Hollywood 05 Last Time I Was Home 06 Jesus in 3/4 Time 07 My Opening Farewell 08 From Silverlake 09 Rock Me On The Water 10 Jamaica Say You Will Disc 2 11 Together Again 12 Take It Underground 13 When You Lose Your Money 14 Our Lady Of The Well 15 These Days 16 Someday Morning 17 Shadow Dream Song 18 Song For Adam 19 Looking Into You Often considered to be the first recorded live performance of JB. -
Audience 8.8 - I really love this recording, it has great atmosphere, and a lively, raw intensity that gets you completely sucked into the concert.

Audience 8.5 - an interesting tape, sometimes flawed but quickly recovering. It’s an old tape after all, and I am glad someone dug it out of their shoebox and made it available. The stadium PA systems all have funny mixes sometimes, with how things are panned, etc. etc. and this one is no exception. I get more of the synthesizers and a very articulated bass which is actually very cool because normally Bill is just a rumble. ROLLING STONES ATLANTA,GA.

Audience 8.7 - Believe it or not, few excellent recordings exist of Motley Crue from these early days. This one is actually very decent, with a lot of festival atmosphere, and even though the recording is “distant” it is clear and you get a good round bass, clear and loud guitar, and vocals very clear. Virtually no muck in this tape, you can turn it up loud too because there’s good headroom. Motley Crue - 1984-08-18 Castle Donington Park, England 01 Intro - Bastard 02 Knock `Em dead 03 Shout At The devil 04 Ten Seconds To love 05 Piece Of Your Action 06 Red Hot 07 Looks That Kill 08 Live Wire 09 Helster Skelter Running Time: 44 mn. 4 s. note: The Crüe makes their first trip to the U.K. and plays the huge Monsters of Rock Festival in Donington at noon in front of about sixty thousand metalheads. After kicking off the show, Mötley is followed on stage by Y&T, Accept, Gary Moore, Ozzy Osbourne, Van Halen and AC/DC. At the end of their set, Nikki throws his bass into the crowd and it lands on a fan named Stu Taylor, smashing his glasses and cutting his head open. A number of people take the guitar to the side of the stage to smash it up and share out the pieces. -
Soundboard 9.1 - A newly discovered tape, takes a little bit to get itself on track with some sound mix problems but they resolve during the first song (sometimes appearing here and there for a second or two later on). The band is very tight, a strong performance, you will wish we had the rest of the show, but it’s great we have this.

CD 1 Audience 8.5 - A very good sounding tape here, nothing that annoys the ears, in fact it is clear with a solid impact vocal and smoothly integrated guitar/bass. I did notice some phasing effect but it’s not even a bother at all, in fact in this case it adds some atmospherics. Solid! CD2 Audience 8.7 - Slightly more distant than the previous show but certainly has good clarity, a more even mix as far as the drums being at the same level as guitar, bass, and vocals. It gains points in the overall clarity, sounding like a master was used as there is virtually no tape noise, no mid-band muddiness, really CLEAR! Turn up the volume because it sounds way much better at loud levels.

Disc 1 Soundboard 9.7 - Beautiful, not the sloppy drunk Clapton here folks. Disc 2 Soundboard 8.8 - A little tape hiss and not as smooth of a mix but it’s a board tape and so you can get earfuls of Clapton guitar which is good at this time, more focused, more heartfelt, just better overall than previous years.

Soundboard 8.7 - A tape that shows some age with a little bit of a lack of high end that would provide more clarity as far as the sound mix. It’s a workable board tape nonetheless and it does feature the antics of Pete Townshend and Keith Moon so there is that. In this mix, it is guitar, bass, drums (and vocals are fine) but don’t expect much more.

Soundboard 8.8 - A little bit thin, but it’s clear and of course the guitar is really captured well. Vocals are sometimes in the background here, not that it matters because the all important guitar work is so present you will be more focused on it instead. It is a pretty good performance, it was a good night. I can’t complain about this one, I think it will be appreciated by people even those with only a passing interest in Clapton.

Disc 1 Soundboard 9.8 Disc 2 Audience 8.7 Disc 3 Audience 87/Soundboard 9.4 Disc 4 Soundboard 9.4 This set comprises four discs full of superbly performed music by some very skilled musicians. The only audience recording on this set actually is not that bad, but compared to immaculate soundboard tapes, your ears will need to adjust but you will notice that it is a very good capture with some occasional irregularities with the sound mix where the music gets “further” away (not literally, just something to do with the recording), but overall I think it is ok and worthwhile to enjoy.

Soundboard 9.7 - Superb! Obviously you know this was going to be recorded professionally, and it certainly shows with immaculate clarity and incredible mix (had to be a tough gig to mix!).

Audience 8.8 - This sounds like what the gig probably sounded like, which is why I refer to this as a “capture” as opposed to a “recording”, and I hope you understand what makes the two different. A soundboard is a recording, and to be honest it doesn’t actually “capture” the event, it is what you would have heard if you were running the live sound for the band. Make sense?

Soundboard 8.6 - This is a tape of contraries – on the one hand it is very forceful, with a wall of intense guitar/vocal energy with a driving bass pushing the sound through your brain – but it comes at a cost…which is dynamic range. The music is all there, you will even hear piano in the mix, and it’s just kind of lacking overall clarity and dynamics. All that being taken into consideration, what you have here is still a very good piece of history, a fun listen and one that does slightly improve (after the beginning where the sound is still finding its level/mix.

Audience 9.1 - For the people in the know, you can’t really top this. It’s rare, it’s great, and now it exists. Frighteningly precise “mechanical jazz” for lack of actual descriptions, I mean, they had to make up a new word in order to categorize this band’s music!

Audience 8.7 - You are a little deeper in the audience for this show, but it’s a fun ride because the audience at this show is so into it, they know what they are seeing and hearing and the band responds to it by giving one hell of a performance. A touch thin in the bandwidth but it is clearly captured enough to where you will get drawn into it completely. Guitar sounds cool, the atmosphere lends itself well to Frank’s sound here.

Audience 8.8 - A solid recording that may be a semi-professional reel to reel machine. You can tell as the recorder dials in the sound levels at the start of the show. They knew what they were doing and were there to capture this moment. A great line-up on this evening, I wonder what Frank thought of Hawkwind?

Audience 8.8 - A nice surprise this one – I was much more familiar with a tape from a later show during this run, but this one sounds lively and clear as a bell. It has a great live atmosphere which for me is a huge plus, so long as it is not boomy or has too much big hall “verb” and this one has the perfect amount of everything good. Lovely!

Audience 8.7 - This recording sounds like what I always imagined a Stones concert from 1975 would sound like…raw, dirty, and dangerous. How can anyone not like this kind of stuff? It’s just the coolest, really, sitting here and reliving these times. The Stones captured the times in their sound, and their energy is so damn cool, so funky, bluesy, the Stones are rock and roll.

Soundboard 9.0 - This recording, to me, sounds like it was in a television studio for a live audience. I can’t tell for sure, but it is the way the audience reacts and the type of reverb going on. Either way, it’s a good recording, first couple of tracks a little hissy but it clears up considerably.

Audience 8.0 - In this particular case, the rating doesn’t say anything about how amazing this tape is. Sure, it’s not glorious hi-fi with ultra-wide dynamic range, but it is actually much more than that. It’s just, pure magic. Short, yes, it’s not complete by a long shot and I am a little sad we don’t have the rest, but what we do have is proof of why Zeppelin took off after touring the States in ’69. I can’t imagine what people were thinking at this show. They could not have ever gotten anything as monumental as this from any local artist or 2nd tier touring act. This is indescribable; I can’t even find the right words. Page and Plant are killing it, in perfect unison, playing the best live versions of these tunes I think I have ever heard, approaching the majesty of the Fillmore West 4-27-69 but not as clear (obviously). The guitar tone is similar, with that funky echoplex delay sound especially on You Shook Me which launches into another dimension. The sound, at first, you might be dismayed, but stick with it. By the time you get a couple minutes in, you will be mesmerized. It’s an 8.0 that you’ll listen to a few more times for the lesson Page and Plant give in how to hypnotize an audience.

Audience 8.3 - This recording is balancing very finely on the borderline but thankfully falls onto the “acceptable” side. I would call it slightly above average maybe, as the tape shows some typical age limitations, but still manages to present the evening in a listenable quality. Must have been a small audience at this show, crowd response is weak, but the band still perform admirably. Guzman Theatre, Miami, FL. March 9th, 1974 Disc 1- Watcher Of The Skies

Audience 7.9 - A somewhat average recording, but collectors will want this for the inclusion of Childhood’s End in the set list. Also it should be noted the lack of 1973 tour recordings compared to the other years.

Audience 8.8 - This is a very decent tape, with a few minor cuts that do not ruin it at all, but the atmosphere and crispness of the tape is refreshing and makes for a most enjoyable listen. It’s wide open to where you can feel yourself in the seat as the music washes over you. Great job taper! Boston Garden Boston, Mass.

French Radio Broadcast 8.4 - The recording does not sound what you would expect a broadcast to be, it sounds like an audience recording honestly. Then, you have to listen past the announcer comments (in French) between songs, and sometimes chiming in at the end, and beginning of the next song. Annoying, but I guess a small price to pay for having the priceless recordings of classic live Rolling Stones of this early vintage. I did notice the quality to be much better than the way I remember it being when these this first surfaced.
