Audience 8.3 - A pretty clear recording that would benefit from some boosting here and there but that’s not to say you can’t just crank this one up a little. Very worthwhile! -

Soundboard 9.2 & Audience 9.7 - Right away you are going to question this rating. Most of you will be familiar with the ’69 set as it is well traveled and professionally recorded and as such has a purity about it. Now, I like it, I like the purity and clarity and all of that, but just listen to the raw audience tape from 1972 and then tell me it doesn’t deserve the rating I give it. If you don’t hear the unbridled intensity, the electricity zapping the entire stadium and coming through your speakers directly into your head at full throttle, than just stop collecting right now and take up another hobby, maybe crochet or something.

Audience 9.3 - Such a good , clear and powerful audience tape of the fledgling CTA that would later become one of the biggest selling bands of all time. I can recommend this one to just about anyone with even the faintest interest in the band, and/or rock music in general. It’s THAT good.

Audience 9.1 - Very good capture from perhaps a little further back than the much more intimate recording done at the Greek Theatre earlier in the year.

Audience 9.7 - Brilliant recording and an example of what you can do if you have excellent gear, perfect acoustics, and good placement. This version of the Chick Corea 1978 tour does not feature a full band ensemble but rather a more natural, non electrified direction which allows the players to really showcase their talents without much competition for the sound space.

Audience 9.3 - An excellent sounding recording right here, and for the time period that is more satisfying to listen to because of the tones you get. I love the beautiful sound of an old Les Paul running through tube amps…plenty of that here!

Audience 8.8 - A very solid recording with kicking mid and bottom, but yet pretty defined. Maybe a little compressed, but not much, and a great show, so this one comes recommended. -
Audience 8.9 - Super duper guitar and drums in this mix, especially the toms and cymbals which normally you do not get a distinction out of them. Guitar just absolutely KILLS in this mix and on this performance. Wow! -

Audience 9.3 - A really great and totally immersive kind of recording. This one pulls you into the atmosphere of the club, and places you in a great spot so strap yourself in!

Audience 8.6 - A little far back, in the middle of a rowdy crowd, and not clearly defined with a very deep bass pumping. Now, the positives – it is a clear recording with no distortion and vocals are above it all allowing you to hear lyrics well, guitar fills out the rest of the sound in the mix. Drums and bass are occupying an indistinct bottom end, although let me give credit to the sound guy because bass drum is excellent here. This recording will grow on you as you adjust. -
Audience 9.4 - Why such a high rating? Because this recording captures the fire on stage in a way that puts you literally right in the front of the action, clearly, and with force. The taper needs a few minutes to find position but once he settles in, strap on your seat belts because you will be in for one wild ride!
