Audience 9.3 - Excellent quality, in fact I think this is a professional recording done on or very close to the stage. It has certain tell-tale qualities, like there being minimal audience noise and very clear, well-balanced band. Good mix here, even without Duane present I think most listeners will find this most welcome especially considering two songs are played featuring Johnny Winter.

Newcastle Audience 8.7 - A fairly bombastic recording that insists you pay attention to it. Thundering, massive, and thankfully listenable. It's not winning any awards for clarity, but it makes up for a lot of that with a representative recording of what you probably heard from the front row at this show. That leads me to say that while you would think there should be distortion, you can't really tell, but yes there just a bit of saturation deep in the bowels somewhere but I don't find it disturbing because it's low enough that you don't focus too much there. London Audience 8.6 - Dropping down one notch here, but there actually might be more mid-upper mid clarity with this recording. I think overall, this recording is a little less forceful, and there is no distortion at all on this. My ears rate this slightly below the Newcastle not because it is inferior quality, but because it is not quite as ballsy, and the trade-off is you have to give up a but of the balls in order to achieve more clarity, but sometimes ballsy is not a bad thing if it isn't too muddy.

Audience 9.3 - I love this recording, probably a lot more than a soundboard. This is the one your ears have been waiting for. Good separation between bass and guitar so that each is distinct, plenty of bottom end but it isn't at the expense of anything else in the mix - it's perfect. I love the bass definition too, and Ian sounds good. Sometimes I think this may be pro, but for the drums which, while excellent, have the slightest touch of sizzle on the cymbals (and by extension you get a touch of it every now and then on vocals) but it's minor and it probably would not be present on a pro recording. This is really just quibbling, trying to find flaws, the recording is BADASS! Black Sabbath Quebec City Coliseum Quebec, Canada 1983-10-20 Disc 1 101. Supertzar 102. Children Of The Grave 103.

This is a must for any serious Hard Rock\ Glam Metal Fan. Here you have Nuno Bettencourt’s guitar skills in demo version. This guy can sound good in any sound!!! -

Broadcast recording from Lita’s early days back in 1984! Recorded at Harpo's in Detroit on August 30th. Another wild and full of energy live show. -
Audience 8.9 - Excellent quality, I did find it worthwhile in almost every regard but keep in mind it is a large venue so it is not a close, tight, and super dynamic recording. It is, however, clear and well done, and overall the sound is picked up well from the main P.A. system, it has force, it has clarity, it has a good "live" quality to it with all the atmosphere of being there.

Both shows Audience 9.4 - Great atmosphere and lovely, round, PHAT bottom end which is good because this is a Very Funky Set! Prince sounds in fine form, straddling the fence between religion, sex, and funkiness.

Cleveland 1978 SDBRD 9.7 - Great sound! Perfectly mixed, good live atmosphere (even though it is a board tape, the microphones do pick up the ambience). Cleveland 1980 SDBRD 9.3 - A very bright (almost too bright) recording, and it would have been a tragedy if this did not have anything else going but it does - it's got good guts, and yes even low end although it could use a touch more beefiness. Still, this is one hot sounding show, sure to please even the most jaded collector.
