Audience 8.8 - This is an interesting recording because while the guitar is very close and defined, the rest of the band is kind of floating above you. It’s as if the taper’s mic was placed in front of Jeff’s guitar cab and at the same time he was able to capture the rest of the sound through the main P.A. so it’s kind of strange. It’s decent though, it’s a good capture just a strange placement of instruments but I really love being able to soak JB in when he’s having a great night as he is here Beck, Bogert, & Appice Shi-Kokaido Nagoya, Japan May 16, 1973 Disc One 01 - Superstition 02 - Livin' Alone - I'm So Proud 03 - Lady 04 - Morning Dew - Drum Solo 05 - Sweet Sweet Surrender 06 - Lose Myself With You - Bass Solo Disc Two 07 - Black Cat Moan 08 - Why Should I Care 01 - Goin' Down - Jeff's Boogie 02 - Oleo - Boogie 03 - Plynth - Shotgun Jeff Beck - guitar, vocals Tim Bogert - bass, vocals Carmine Appice - drums, vocals -
Audience 7.8 - Not bad as far as overall clarity but certainly lacking in depth and could really use a remastering which would help immensely. The sounds are there, there is some slight tape noise, but the music is all there and this show can be enjoyed…just add some boost in the lows and mids perhaps. -
Audience 9.0 - Great document! Live, exciting, forceful and driving. This is a great find! It does have the tell-tale audience tape feel but for how well the bass sounds because if it was done on cassette, it had to be a professional deck, so I am inclined to believe this was done on reel to reel.

Audience 8.7 - This tape was made in an old Victorian styled theatre with what I imagine had to be decent acoustics but it all depends on where you sit and what kind of gear you use. This taper probably did not have the best at his disposal but he/she did an admiral job nonetheless. I can hear almost everything, sans the detail, and so I am able to get a good idea of what the Bee Gee’s were about before their superstardom. For one thing, you will notice right away the lack of ARP synthesizers! Yep, these are real strings folks…wowsers!

Audience 9.4 - Beautiful and well balanced, this taper was well known to have produced consistently high quality work in the area taping a variety of concerts big and small. Band was opening for Badfinger, and this is the earlier of the two performances that day. This is one of the only extant live recordings of Big Star playing in the ‘70s that has not been officially released.
