Audience 9.0 - Rated very high for the excellent mid range punch where the guitar tone is magical. -
Foghat 7.4 ~ Robin Trower 7.5 ... Interesting concept, including the opening act and headliner in a 2 disc set - but it makes sense to me and it works spectacularly here. The quality is decent, I rate conservatively, you can really sink your ears (and teeth) into both sets but I give the slight edge to Trower's set as he was headlining and therefore probably got better service from sound guy. -

Audience 7.5 - This is direct from the open reel master tape. There is some limitation to the capture (slight oversaturation) but I would say this is a pretty fascinating document. -
Audience 7.4 -
Audience 8.4 - Great fun this one is! I know because I was there! -
Audience 8.1 - Kind of occupies the very middle as far as dynamics go with maybe an emphasis on low end which means this recording at least has balls. It’s clear enough that you hear everything, and I think it successfully captured a marvelous evening. -
Pro 8.8 - At times this recording gets even better but there are tape problems, what sounds like tracking issues (if this came from a video source), but overall it is very good and was taped professionally for broadcast. The DVD is pro shot, but suffers from age deterioration, tracking issues, color bleed, etc. but in fairness it is a very old video format and those old ¾” umatic tapes either held up or they failed, that these still played is amazing. -
Audience 8.4 - Very decent, with good clarity on guitars, some tape noise present but not intruding on the sounds of the music. Sometimes this gets a little over saturated but not to distortion, just more in a little cluttering but this is still way too good of a gig, and a very decent capture, so I can’t slag on it just because there are some minor flaws. -
Audience 8.4 - Very clear recording that sits just a little further back in the spectrum that I would prefer but that helps provide more atmosphere so that is the trade off. It’s a decent recording you can enjoy. -
Audience 9.0 - Great definition and a solid spectral range if just the slightest touch of crowding in the mids once the band is full blast, but it totally rocks and you will love it! -
Audience 8.5 - Clear recording that lacks a bit of upper dynamics but has good low and mid range, although not a super defined quality, but it’s a great recording to my ears.
