Audience 8.8 - This tape has good high end response with only a little crunchy crispy on the crashes but the ears like this tape because of the separation of high end to low end. That means the opposite of muddiness – this tape delivers a wide spectrum from low to high making it a treat for the ears.

Sale!Audience 8.7 - This is a good and reasonably clear (some tape hiss) recording which reminds me a lot of the Hamburg 1971 recording. I would not be surprised if this was done by the same guys. As a bonus, there is a third disc containing the film footage of Atom Heart Mother from this show. It should be playable on most players, this disc is formatted as a video disc (compact disc containing an MP4 file), if you have any problems please let us know. It should play fine on your computer, and most DVD machines will know what to do with it.

Audience 8.5 - Some tape noise present, and some issues with the tape containing the sheer volume of the PA’s when the band is in full swing, but really this is a pretty “live” tape that gives you a great sense of the moment. Atmosphere is pretty cool, the sound is clear for the most part excepting the somewhat cluttered bandwidth at high volume. Worth getting.

Audience 8.7 - This is a surprisingly clear tape with a superbly detailed bottom end and would rate MUCH higher if the sound mix brought the guitar and keys up a bit more. These complaints are not the fault of the taper or his gear, but rather the actual PA sound mix at the show, which by the way is VERY good so do not be put off at all, it’s that my preference would be for more guitars.

Audience 7.0 - Something about this recording I find very interesting. It’s a haunting, mystical vibe, a somber heaviness that falls over the stadium and envelopes everything. The recording gives you just enough to experience it, despite it not being exactly hi-fi, it is truly fascinating to experience this show from this taper’s perspective. You will be totally pulled into this gig, and the recording slowly does seem to get better. I like it!

Audience 7.1 - A very subdued tape, and lots of hiss that at some points is cleaner so no real stress. It is reasonably clear in that you can hear everything, just sounds like it needs a kick in the mid range or some good multi-band compression. Interesting to hear these sort of stripped down Dark Side shows.

Audience 7.8 - Recorded pretty close to the mains, a touch of distortion on some parts, and some tape breaking up due to being overloaded with sound, and vocals a little buried, but even though I can go on with the faults, I found myself sticking with it and I adjusted and I enjoyed this show. Roger is in particularly fine form, really sounds determined on this stage. Tapers talk, tapers cough, but I deal with them, the show sounds incendiary.
