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 9.0 - Nicely done! A good solid punchy middle, with enough headroom to allow the guitars to soar high above the audience landing onto your ear drums in the best of ways. -
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.

Soundboard 9.8 - Do not right Billy Idol off as some curiosity of the 80’s .... I mean, listen to this and tell me this guy is not a bona fide singer-writer-performer in any decade. He’s a pro and he can work an audience. -
Pro 9.4 - A noisy audience that effects the beginnings of every song, but they thankfully subside about 10-15 seconds in – otherwise I would have given this a 9.8 because its that good! -
Soundboard 9.0 - Both sets are pro radio broadcasts with the S.F. set only suffering from a slight imbalance in the mix where the vocals are way up front but it’s just as well since Billy is the show anyway. -
Pro Soundboard 9.7 - A superb document in every sense. Perfect recording, splendid performance, and fine songs. -
Boston 1981 FM Broadcast 9.0 This is not bad, I detected maybe a little trace of signal interference but not enough to destroy this audio. It may be kind of like a background “fuzziness” or something but I find this to be a very good representation especially being a crowd that knows the music and the band very well. I think the band responds and delivers an exceptional performance. San Francisco 1981 FM Broadcast 9.4 Very strong in every category, a recording with depth and a band that delivers the goods. London 1981 Audience 8.8 A decent tape with maybe a little “crunchiness” to it but overall it rates well and can be thoroughly enjoyed.
