Audience 9.3 - Another spectacular capture that presents a detailed soundfield and plenty of atmosphere to sink yourself into the show as if you were there. Excellent! -
Audience 9.7 - This is the result of VERY diligent and committed tapers. First: get there early. Second: don’t leave until the last bit of sound comes out the P.A. Then, do a damn fine job! That sums up this experience, because that is what it is: An Experience. Well done sir! -
Audience 8.5 - Should be a higher rating but for the mastering where the mids are so hot. Put this through your Equalizer and bring the mid band down a little bit and you have a very strong recording. The highs are insane, not screechy just detailed, and the low is present, so just fiddle with the mids because it’s just too hot there. -
Both Shows - Audience source - 1st source 6.9 2nd source 6.4 - Historical document! Do not confuse this with being a modern, hi-fi experience because it is most assuredly not. One of only a few 1967 shows in existence, we have two different tape sources for this one, both on one disc. That is cool. -
Audience 9.0 - I have rated this highly because it transcends the boring sameness of most modern aud recordings and sounds more like a 70’s boot! I can’t explain it really. It’s just, to me, the Stones should always sound like the Cleveland 1978 bootleg LP which really sort of sums up the Stones for me. -
Audience 7.2 - When it comes to The Stones, you can’t deny that ’69 to ’72 is where you need to focus. That’s how it is with me, and therefore ANY tape that comes along from that time period, I want it. So I wasn’t completely disappointed with this audience tape, even with its obvious limitations. -
Audience 8.9 - Raging electric blues recorded as if you were right there. Fantastic! -

Soundboard 9.1-9.4 - The mix gets tweaked a couple of times during the show but overall it’s a good one. -
Audience 7.8 - Thankful to have this one, so the less than perfect sound does not faze me, besides it’s actually decent. I get every instrument, especially Rory’s guitar and the bass, which actually has some definition to it. The only caveat is the lack of a dynamic quality, but the dynamics are provided by the playing, which is off the chain good. A memorable gig (joined by fellow Irish luminary Phil Lynott)! This is Blues Rock as performed by absolute masters. -
Audience 8.6 - What is great about this tape is that again you have a situation where the highs are completely intact, in some parts maybe too much, but it lends itself perfectly to EQ’ing since you have no worry about losing highs. Great live energy, a great performance (when does he not?) also. -
Audience 7.8 - Good live atmosphere, a touch trebly but not in an irritating way, just in the sound spectrum itself. Rory was riding pretty high during most of this tour having played a very historic run of shows in his native land (all released officially btw). -
Soundboard 9.2 - A very clean, dry board with dramatic emphasis on guitar as it should. A study in how to rock the blues without falling into same old same old, I mean, the man was a living riff machine! -
Pro Radio Broadcast 8.8 - A fine recording that manages to allow some nice atmosphere into the mix.
