Audience 7.6 -
Audience 9.2 - Tremendous presence, like you are sitting on the lawn in front of the stage. Great! -
Soundboard 8.7 - Some tape hiss during quiet parts. -
Audience 8.8 - A very warm, and casual show that features nicely defined bass notes, but you are giving up some crispness in this recording in favor of a more mid-range sound which suits me fine. This is a pleasant recording of a relaxed Gabriel and a tight backing band -
Soundboard 9.2 - Excellent and vibrant! -
Audienjce 8.8 - Very present and clear and nice kick drum sound that anchors everything. -
Audience 8.4 - Has some good mid punch to it. -
Audience 8.6 - Some good tones herein, pretty bright and clear. Enjoy this one! -
Audience 8.0 - This has a very pleasant warm feeling to it, very intimate vibe. Sound fidelity is quite good although levels are almost right at the breaking point so there's no headroom to play with as far as EQ. It has probably been mastered already, from a master tape it sounds like. It's a good 8.0 to my ears. Very enjoyable. -
Audience 8.8 - Crisp highs and a good round bottom end here, maybe just a slightly bunched up middle but this recording is slamming. -
Audience 9.4 - Super clean and present, right up front recording that sparkles. -
Audience 8.6 - A gentle sound, like in a coffee shop or small TV studio. Very intimate! -
Soundboard 9.6 - Incredible in every way. -
Audience 8.3 -
Audience 8.0-8.4 - Gets better and better. Strong stage mix, great bass and drum sound, and oh that guitar, blazing! -
Soundboard 9.3 -
Audience 7.8 - Quite a brilliant sound, some audience involvement occasionally, just a touch of hall, but good atmosphere to compliment a pleasant tape. -
Soundboard 9.3 -
Audience 8.9 - A lively audience while the band is in top form and both seem to feed off of each other. A great show! -
Audience 8.3 - This recording is super lively but there’s some crowding and crunchiness right in the middle frequencies that takes some of the clarity out with it, but it’s just a great listen nonetheless. I am surprised I was not familiar with this show, it’s a keeper. -
This set collects not so widely available shows of varying quality but certainly ones that fill in missing parts to a collection. CD 1 - Audience 7.4 - Actually not that bad at all, and probably one of the better ones of this set. CD 2 - Audience 7.7 - Fine recording that kind of stays in a rather crisp mode, but if I were to remaster it or want to add bass this recording is a PERFECT one because highs are so good on this, and accurate to a fault really. A decent recording that needs low end but VERY enjoyable! CD 3 - Audience 7.0 - Might be the worst of this set, but Randy is clear here on this tape, followed by Ozzy, so the priorities are at least straight! CD 4 - Audience 7.5 - Right down the middle, as far as sound-field, but it is not that hard to go ahead and appreciate this for what it is. Mediocre and at times gets really good and clear especially during softer sections of songs. CD 5 - Audience 7.3 - I would rate this higher for the fact that levels are good, and everything can be heard, but the fault is that everything is mid to upper band and gets too harsh for me. I think a good EQ would do wonders, because at least the mids and highs are there in which to round out more and even reduce in favor of low mid and low frequencies. -
Audience 7.0 - at times 7.4 -
Audience 6.9 - Sounds close to the PA, not much definition just very loud. -
Audience 7.2 - Big outdoor stadium sound. Not great, but does have atmosphere and guitar can be heard throughout. -
Audience 7.0 - Average large stadium rock show sound. Ozzy is clearest, and thankfully Randy’s solos are nice and present because that is what you want the most. -
Audience 7.4 & 7.0 - Both shows are worth getting! -
Audience 7.5 - Pretty clear, some natural reverb from the hall present but surprising clarity in the highs so I gather this is a very low generation tape source. -
Soundboard 9.2 - Both excellent, crisp and clear and brilliantly performed. -
Soundboard 9.3 - Incredible recording with emphasis on vocals. -
Soundboard 9.4 -
Audience 7.8 - A rather subdued tape, as if they left the microphone underneath something for stealth purposes because while you do hear everything, it lacks punch and clarity. It’s not crap, but it should be considered for collectors only. -
SDBRD 9.1 - Well mixed, so that you pretty much get to hear every single thing that is happening with clarity and precision.
