Soundboard 8.9 - Great performance here, one of the best I have heard quite frankly. Having just ditched the classic line up, you would think a downturn in performance caliber would occur but I do not get that here at all.
Venue: unknown (Brussels, BELGIUM), however said to be Broadcast on Belgian TV.

Soundboard 9.0 - Some tape hiss but it doesn’t bother. -
Soundboard 9.4 - A beautiful recording, love how it just sounds so natural, it’s a joy to listen to this one!

Soundboard 9.5 - A very nice mix, as if done for a proposed live LP. Band is very tight. -
Soundboard 9.2 - Again we find Lou and company blazing his way across Europe and leaning on some old, and some new…but mostly older tunes which always work well because there is so much room for the band to stretch out. Good stuff here.

Soundboard 9.3 - Wonderful guitar tone is the highlight here, the magical guitar interplay throughout. Seriously, it’s as if Lou’s delivery is just a setup for the band to do their thing. One of the best I have heard, right here. -
Soundboard 8.9 - Gritty tone, I like this grungy guitar sound. Pretty good stuff. -
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. -
Soundboard 9.2 - The band was really up for this show, it’s pretty hot. -
Soundboard 9.6 - A tight, expertly mixed board tape. I think how they mic’d this up to include audience was a great idea, it adds so much to this recording. Lou feeds off their excitement.

Audience 8.2 - A somewhat average tape that is brand new to circulation and captures a good time for Lou when he had some great songs and great players with him. Plus side of the recording is that it is low gen and clear enough to hear the band although keyboards are quite behind in the stage mix. Lou is more prominent, with bass and guitar next. A good tape for a lo-fi cassette recorder snuck into the venue in the mid 70’s.

Studio Quality 8.8 - Not quite ready for prime time, but very very good and nice to have in the collection. Some really good playing, and if you are a fan of Lou Reed, good singing…but that’s all pretty subjective isn’t it?
