FM Broadcast 9.2 - Even though this is a broadcast, it retains a "rough" mix quality to it which suits the band's sound and style. The recording quality is fantastic, it does not have a lifeless feel but rather an obvious impromptu feel as you can tell by the stage feedback as the mix gets dialed in.

Audience 9.0 - This is actually how The Bangles should sound live. This is as punk as I have heard them. The guitar tone is killer, the drums are bare bones and perfect...vocals delivered directly into my ears like sweet butter spread on an ear of corn.

Studio Quality 9.7 - A great collection of exciting tracks that for me were very illuminating because I never really took the time to listen to this band back in the day. Now, well it's pretty clear they were great and now I am fully engrossed in their works and this set delivers plenty.

Audience 9.3 - A great, very lively and sharp recording. I love the mix here too, drums are prominent without being boomy, guitars are complimentary and tuneful. This is a really fun hour of listening pleasure and will get repeat plays in your player for sure. The inclusion of Prince on two songs is just the icing on the cake.The Bangles & Prince Warfield Theatre San Francisco, California May 14, 1986 1. Intro (Dead End Justice) - The Runaways 2.

Soundboard 9.0, Soundboard 9.5, Audience 7.6 - In this collection you have two excellent board tapes and one mediocre audience tape that you probably will not listen to as much as the first two discs. That is not to say the tape was not worth inclusion, but more that it was included for the sake of context since you can hear the band progressing through the years with the material.

Audience 8.8 - Very exciting club shows recorded in a way that makes you wonder if the band themselves did not have it done. It is very clear, the only knock I give it is maybe the passage of time took away some of the brilliance, and/or it’s not a first gen tape…but it’s really good!

Soundboard 8.9 - Very nice board with emphasis on vocals, a little less on the rhythm section but not by much. Classic period with all their hits, but missing Candy-O which is still one of my faves. -
Studio Quality 9.7 - Fascinating! Just hearing these songs before the sweeteners were added is incredible. I kind of like the raw takes better, well, almost.
