Audience 8.8 - Everything is clear and delivered to the listener with no interference, artifacts, irritating audience chatter or other. A really nice thing is this. -

Audience 9.5 - Tremendous and powerful with a great tonality (much better than Frank’s 70’s tone in my opinion). A well rounded set, full of exquisite ensemble playing, tight and nimble riffing and mature, expressive solos. Fantastic!
-
Soundboard 8.9 - Gritty tone, I like this grungy guitar sound. Pretty good stuff. -
Soundboard 9.0 - A rare show featuring Quicksilver guitarist John Cipollina. -
Soundboard 9.4 - Fans of Frank Marino rejoice! Fantastic quality and BLAZING riff bashing by one of rock’s most criminally underrated axemen. Riff’s are certainly bashed but the classy jazz tinged scales that he tosses out with finesse really impresses. Get it now! -
Audience 8.3 - Tape limitations, some occasional phasing, but far out stuff and enjoyable! -
FM Radio Broadcast 8.7 -
Radio Broadcast 8.5 - This is a big upgrade to what you may have heard before. Music is total mind frying acid induced psychedelia ala Hendrix. KILLER MAN! -
Audience 7.8 - Too bad this is not better quality because certainly it demands the attention of music collectors being one of the few times Jeff Beck jammed live on stage with John McLaughlin. I mean, you have to believe Jeff was pushed to try things he hadn’t even thought of yet, so to get to hear all that is a real treat regardless of the average audio quality. I should be specific and tell you that indeed you will hear all the guitars reasonably clear as those instruments thankfully come through the best. -

Audience 8.7 - Proper live recording from the audience, probably authorized by the band, sounds professional (may be a Soundboard but very hard to tell). -

Audience 8.7 - A good clear recording! -
Audience 8.8 - One of the best from this period. Very clear, and close and wow, what a show! Pretty intense is all I can say. -
Paris 1974 - Audience 7.6 - Slightly better than average but you gotta wonder what those Europeans thought of Southern Rock. Paris 1975 - Radio Broadcast 8.5 -
A superbly put together set! Looks positively spectacular. The recordings are all generally pretty decent. CD 1 Audience 7.7 - CD 2 Audience 8.7 - CD 3 Soundboard 9.0 - CD 4 Audience 8.4 - CD 5 Audience 8.4 (these last two discs you MUST turn the volume up loud because the levels are low but the fidelity is decent. The louder the better, and it does NOT distort because there is a ton of headroom here to play with). -
Audience 7.4 - Suffers from large stadium boominess, lack of distinction and separation of instruments. As the show goes on, the ear gets tuned in and you begin to actually kind of get into it. The thing is, it does have a certain “realness” to it. -
Audience 8.8 - Spectacular live presence and good clear vibrant recording. -
CD 1 - London 1975 - Audience 7.2 - Sound is a little muffled but vocals and guitar cut through the murkiness, taper seems to also be moving to find a better spot and sometimes he catches a sweet spot and the sound clears a little. Overall I think fans will appreciate this recording for what it is, a good solid performance. CD 2 - Salisbury 1975 - Audience 8.0 (solid) - Sounds a lot cleaner and brighter than disc 1, so enjoy! -
Audience 8.0 - Sounds a little subdued, but it’s clear for the most part. Needs a kick in the highs. -
Audience 9.1 - Clear and sharp, right up close and full of electric atmosphere. Lovely! -
Audience 8.1 - I would call this a fine recording, it captures every performer on stage as it happened, although not in the clearest fidelity, but you can really still enjoy this because it is not the kind of problem that distracts. It’s a good, not great, recording. -
Audience 8.7 - Recoded on professional equipment and it shows. Crisp highs, and a good, lively atmosphere. You get a little bit of that big hall cavernous ambiance here that keeps vocals just behind the stage sound.
