Studio Quality 9.5 - The first disc in this collection is referred to as “Revamped” because it extracts the most robust and complete takes, fixes where need be, and assembles in a way that most closely resembles a coherent project. Purists may opt for the more conventional outtake compilations contained on discs 2 and 3, but therein lies the beauty of this collection. It presents a much more interesting picture of what was and what could have been…notwithstanding the official release of Paul Kantner’s album.

Three Shows: * Detroit - Audience 7.1 - Very thin and transistor sounding. * El Paso - Audience 7.4 * Springfield - Audience 8.2 - The best of the three shows by far. -
Audience 8.8 - Looking for a good quality Plasmatics recording? Right here it is. Get it! -
Audience 8.4 -
Audience 8.7 and SDBRD 8.8/9.1 - Both sources are clean and decent, the first disc is actually a radio broadcast but they used a tape source that was recorded by a fan in the audience! Sounds a little distant but clear with good atmospherics, just unusual to know how they did it. The other disc contains a board tape made at the Fillmore which is very good but more than that really shows the crossing over the line by “country” artists into uncharted territory. This music reminds me of what would happen if you took The Flying Burrito Brothers and The Beatles and told them to pretend they are Eagles flying around the Bay Area. The last bit of disc 2 is from Holland and is the best sounding of the set. Poco Eagles Auditorium Seattle, WA 1969-07-05 Disc 1 Set 1 early show 01. Pickin' Up The Pieces 02. Hurry Up 03.

Pro Radio Broadcast 9.1 -
Soundboard 9.6 (both shows) -
Audience 9.6 - Very atmospheric and warm, presents a very realistic impression of the sound you would have heard had you been there. -
Audience 7.9 - A little remastering helped this old recording immensely! Now it is worth a listen, even if it is not the brightest of hi-fi jobs…but it’s a document and a good one. -
Soundboard 9.4 - All soundboard, includes Fresno 1983 and more (such as the rehearsals, again soundboard). -
Soundboard 9.2 - These are great but Prince himself mixed them hot and put them out exactly as you hear them. These recordings are going to probably melt your speakers, the levels are really pushed all the way up just to the breaking point. Still, to my ears I like what I am hearing.

Abu Dhabi - Audience 9.4 - Exceptional Clarity and broad bandwidth allow for accurate highs, punchy mid, and well rounded low end. A total winner! Netherlands - Audience 9.3 - A great recording here, with a great atmospheric feel where you can place yourself in the venue. Lovely!

Audience 8.8 - Crisp, well defined sound. -
Audience 9.5 - The recording level is a little low, but the quality is excellent so turn this one up and allow the clearness and dynamics to take you there.

Audience 9.5 - Yes, this is all audience recordings but the quality is impeccable. The guitar is simply SUPREMELY badass, if you are on the fence about Prince, do yourself a favor and dive into this one because no matter what your bias might be about the man, you can’t deny the power and finesse that this music demonstrates. Just a wonderful testament to how brilliant and masterful Prince was on stage.
