Audience 7.4 - Roughly the same quality for each show. Both present complete 1974 shows, certainly must have’s for any dedicated fan, and even though they are only slightly above average, they are both good listens. -
Audience 7.6 -
Audience 9.3 - Wow! Simply incredible, an audience tape with more dynamics than most professional recordings, and a fantastic performance and set list! -
Audience 9.5 - Why such a high rating? Because this sounds as if you are standing right in front of the stage, on Brian May’s side, and there’s no distortion. Amazing. You are there, it’s a feast for the ears…it’s ear candy…have some! -
Audience 7.7–8.1 - Ranges in quality mainly because it gets off to a rough start but gets progressively better. -
Audience 9.4 - When an audience tape is done correctly you get a very real sense of the environment, of the people and the moment happening in front of you. This tape does all of that for you. -
Audience 8.7 - This is just a dandy, with that large hall sound but NO annoying reverb or echo, just vibe. File alongside Boston 76, which is one of the very best of the tour. -
Audience 8.4 - The situation with this recording is that although it is really clean, like master quality clean, the clarity gets a little lost when the band is at full volume. And that is because it is incredibly “live” and atmospheric and does not focus the audio directly into the mic. So, it’s very much an experience that immerses you but lacks super tight sonic clarity but a VERY nice recording otherwise. For 1975, it’s a great capture. -
Audience 9.1 - A concert recording that defines the term “immersive”. So, you are basically transported back in time and placed into a seat pretty close to the stage, sitting next to a couple of enterprising tapers. The audience is a part of this experience, it’s open, vibrant, clear, and dynamic and you are right in the middle of it all. Dang, you really should dive into this one if you do not have it. -
Audience 9.0 - Vocals come through shining! -
Audience 9.1 - More intimate setting, good stage mix, all clear and powerful. -
Audience 9.0 -
Audience 9.6 - Monsterous! Sounds like you are right there, crystal clear and loud. The BEST EVER! -
Audience 7.3 -
Audience 8.2 - Clear recording with some interesting “wide” vocal panning that is probably an effect from the hall, but it’s cool! -
Audience 7.1 - This tape cannot contain the power of the Rainbow! It sounds overloaded, but there’s music here, if you can get past the sort of mid band rumble.
