Audience 7.3 - Kick drum and vocals sound great though. -
Audience 8.8 - Hell yeah, live and loud, very clear. -
Audience 8.7 - Rockin' good! -
Audience 7.5 - Not quite as good as Manchester, some kind of compressed, almost muffled but probably only needs a kick in the highs which you can do on whatever you play it with. There's a little bit of headroom to play with. Not going to blow anyone away but if you've heard any of the other 2015 captures you realize that this and Manchester are the better ones. -
Audience 8.7 - A kick ass show and quality is perfectly suited for the kind of loud and raucous music the Kinks made…albeit with excellent melodic sense. Recording has loads of power without overloading so I believe taper was using very good stuff for the time. -
Disc 1 Aud 7.0 low levels and kind of muddy, Robert is up front in the mix. Disc 2 Aud 7.4 much clearly mainly because it’s acoustic, the electric part is slightly less clear but not horrible. -
Audience 7.8 - Probably as good as you can get for the tour right now unless and until a Soundboard surfaces. The reality is this is a stadium rock band and the sound is exactly that. Large kick drum, vocals in front, indistinct PA loud guitar and bass, but that being said, this is probably exactly as it sounded at this show. It is enjoyable for what it is. -
Audience 7.5 - Average dynamics but the strength of this recording lies not in the tonal spectrum but in the music itself. You WILL gain an even greater appreciation for them after listening. The rewards are huge, a promise I can make without hesitation. Simply breathtaking! -
Audience 8.8 - Very crisp and clean sound. Enjoyable show! -
Audience 7.0 - For the completist only. -
Audience 7.3 - Sounds very close to the stage, and the tape machine struggles, but there’s something magical about this one…the band sounds more experimental and “free” to just rock it and jam. There is a palpable energy and the recording does capture that. -
Audience 7.7 - A little boomy, and that typical 70’s hard rock big hall sound but it ROCKS! It’s decent and a lot of fun. -

Audience 9.1 - A well placed microphone and excellent gear make for a really really nice recording. Revered Italian Rock group of the 1970’s back again and sounding fresh, but some nice old school analog sounds still permeate this performance. -
Audience 8.3 - Interesting recording, it is actually very clean, master quality source, but just fails to contain the massive Metallica sound by a mere inches, and I mean by how close to the mains this seems to be. Collectors who do not have this will LOVE it though, it really gives you a real sense of the loudness and intensity of the band. -
Audience 6.8 - Pretty rough, thin, and one dimensional, but fans will want this one. This is when it all happened, this is historic! -

Soundboard 8.8 - Pure thrash at its finest - Brutal. -
Soundboard 8.6 - Doesn’t matter how good or bad the mix is, this is the real STUFF! -
Soundboard 9.0 - I love this mix you can really hear the bass definition. -
Audience 8.3 - This has been mastered, because where the sounds are placed actually helps better define this recording – the vocals “should” be buried deep but they aren’t, and the bass and the drums are in their own space too. Remarkable to get this so clear because it sounds like at one time it may have been a mess. Bochum 1987 - Audience 8.7 - Wow the bass is kicking, and so defined! -
Audience 9.6 - Scary good! It would be easy to dismiss this offhand simply because it is 2007 and maybe you are thinking it is not indispensable Megadeth right? Wrong answer. This recording will give you newfound respect and appreciation for this band, with their ultra tight, ultra-sophisticated sense of craft and ability, you will say “yes, time to rediscover this band again” just like I did after listening to this. -

Audience 7.8 - Perhaps the best of the audience May Blitz tapes, still very loud but much more separation of each instrument and loads of raw power on display. Frighteningly intense, brilliant acid psyche hard rock from a very underground band that should have been MUCH bigger. -
Audience 7.0 - Ultra loud, no clear separation except the drums actually do have some distinction and this tape has a much broader sound spectrum and is not stuck in a very lo-fi mid band position. I like this tape, it features more raw energy than the others and even though is still “rough”, it gets the blood pumping and is quite exhilarating to hear. What a find! A rare show recently surfaced. -
Audience 7.0 - Impossible to really document this band on amateur equipment, they were too loud. I kind of compare them to Blue Cheer, a more progressive, and British, Blue Cheer. That being said, believe it or not this is one of the better live tapes. Loud, crowded, noisy tape, all that yes but man, this is amazing! -
