Back when I was a wee little tot, maybe a little bigger than we, I had Asia's debut album on vinyl.  Sweeeet!  And when a small carnival came to our town each year, one of the prizes was this like 8 by 5 inch (or something like that) mirror thingy with a band's logo in it.  Had to have the Stones, VH, AC/DC and others including Asia's first big serpent logo... it was a serpent, right?  Anyway, loved their music all those years ago and I wasn't even in high school yet!  Time went on and you'd hear 1 or 2 songs occasionally if you listened to enough classic rock radio.  Same two songs over and over.  Then I started collecting these bootlegs and hey, people taped Asia and today spread some of their shows around.  That's how we got to this posting.  I've grabbed a few and this is actually my very first listen.  Not totally my cup o' tea but it's good live music.  I know I have more shows than I'll probably ever listen to, why fill some of my time with lesser liked stuff?  I dunno.  Part of it has to do with me maybe thinkin' I'm immortal and *will*** have time to listen to it all, so why not something like this once in awhile.  ANYWAY . . . very nice audience recording for the era!!  Great equipment and an optimal location in the theater, plus modern day mastering to bring it to optimal form, gives Asia fans a pretty enjoyable listen compared to an average quality, Sony Walkman recording that, truth be told, as much as you might love the music, isn't always a joy to listen to.  But this one is.  9.7 out of 10, a good, solid A grade no doubt!

Thank you, Schoeps, for making such great microphones for capturing shows so beautifully.  It's not all about the mics, also location of the taper, of course, but dem top o' the line mics sure do help, and DAT, too.  When you've got all three workin' just right for ya, you get a sweet recording like this one.  And I've been reminded that I need to listen to more Foo Fighters shows cuz Dave Grohl's one of the best at interacting with the crowd . . . helps make listening more fun such as in this one.  I'm not sure there's two songs without him bantering in between (or at least saying what song they're about to play.)  I also find it somewhat odd that he kinda mimics an effeminate gay man while on stage in San Francisco.  To me that's making fun of them but maybe he's not.  What do I know, I've never even tried out for Jeopardy, at least not yet.  Anyway, great show, great recording, the house sound in The Warfield was superb and the Schoeps picks it up so well.  9.6 out of 10 for a solid A grade capture.

Sounds like a soundboard . . . most of the time. When there's no one screaming, when there's no semi-nearby conversation (6 or 7 times, quiet and brief,) when there's no moron screaming for Bobby (thru much of one song,) this sounds simply awesome.  There are a dozen or so minor sound fluctuations that are so short before it bounces right back to where it was and a half dozen pops throughout the whole show (all quick and quiet,) and David Kemper's bass drum causes noticeable distortion on several songs, but when it's good it's REALLY GOOD!!!  This is purely an A+ recording for a good 85% of it! The crowd distractions really aren't that bad and honestly didn't take away from my enjoying the show over two listens.  This coulda been one of the best audience recordings of the Dylan year but I gotta knock it down a small bit because of people's mouth's and the recording levels not able to take that full bass drum.  Still it's gotta earn a 9.7 for a high A grade!

Speaking of David Kemper, I wonder if he thinks of his dear friend Jerry Garcia when Friend Of The Devil gets played by Bob.  David was the drummer for Jerry's non-Grateful Dead projects for Jerry's last 11 years playin', from about 1984 to 95.  I so do love hearing Bob playing Jerry since Jerry played Bob for . . . well, for just about ever!

Pretty darn fine recording . . . except the vocals are halfway buried most of the time.  Perhaps that's the taper's fault for not being in an optimal location to pick up the perfect sound as it should be heard, or perhaps maybe some fault of the sound guys who did a terrible job mixing?  Who knows.  Vocals aside, this is an exceptional recording.  You can hear crowd stuff now and then but shouldn't ever really be distracting, wasn't to me.  Guitar and drums are loud and clear!  The bass might also be a bit buried.  This had so much potential to be an A+ recording.  Still it's a good listen!  I'm goin' with about a 9.6 out of 10 for a solid A grade.

Ahh, the original Napoleon Dynamite!  Fun, fun show from a dude who loves having fun!  Not just a musician and singer but a comedian, as well.  My first thought about this show was why in an ice rink?  It's really not terrible sound for the type of room it is . . . the awesomeness of the taping setup really helps here -- the taper came to get a good capture and he did!  Crowd noise is minimal and Elvis's vocals and instruments are well heard throughout.  It's not without flaws as the last song cuts off abruptly.  Woulda been nice to hear the Professor say goodnight to enthusiastic college crowd. There's also some static here and there, a little change in quality a time or two but each time so brief and the sound immediately comes right back to beautiful.  But why, oh why, in an ice rink and not a nice performing arts center type of hall or theater made for great acoustics?  Ah well, such was the 80's, a great time with tons of crappy recordings but this one is kinda close to an A+!  I'm goin' about a 9.6 for a strong A grade.  I was worried about quality but this is excellent!  "Let's hear it for New Jersey!!!"

Pretty good recording.  Not every instrument is crystal clear in the mix but then again, this is kind of a grungy Neil sound and so everything blending together just almost feels right.  One gripe might be the vocals are not that up front all the time.  Crowd noise between songs isn't too bad, not to the point you have to reach for the volume as that's one thing that can really spoil a great audience recording, even if the music is loud and clear, the between song crowd noise can be so bad but not too much here.  This is really pretty nice and I'm inclined to go to about an A grade, I think a 9.3 out of 10 for an audience recording.

That lineage for this show looks ludicrous to me but the sound quality is exceptional!  I do believe this was broadcast on television in Deutschland and is available in (bootleg) DVD form although I really don't think this audio is derived from that video, seems like if it was it would have more crowd noise typical of a television broadcast but maybe they do things differently in Europe than in the U.S. where they feel the need to pipe in crowd noise to make the viewer feel like he is there.  In any case, after that run-on sentence, the soundboard here is crisp and beautiful and do I even wanna dare say it's a 10 out of 10 for the perfect A+? Man, it sure does feel like that!  My only gripe is the first song starts off so fast without any crowd noise fade in or introduction of any kind.  And it seems like such a strange opener for Tom but from there on out it feels like a great Petty show.  I know this has been posted for sure by others before but here it is again for anyone who does not have it.  Definitely a top quality recording, maybe one of the best I'll ever post!

Apparently there is at least one other source of this show, more complete by filling in a few songs.  Seems there might be two other sources.  Now usually I despise incomplete shows.  Hate 'em.  But mayhaps my stance on them is changing a little cuz I'm not really minding listening to this.  The King Biscuit Flower Hour showed up at this show and recorded it for posterity . . . not like there's a lack of EC soundboards from the 80's but anyway, they featured this show on their program but had to cut out some songs and cram in a few commercials for the hour long time slot.  I loved these when I was younger and listened to the radio before I ever knew about owning a bootleg concert recording in its entirety.  But even though the K.B.F.H. mixes in a little bit of unnecessary audience noise, I'm still diggin' this one.  9.8 out of 10.

A short but sweet set by DMB kicks off the evening and what a fantastic recording that is, essentially CD-quality!  It's not perfect, unfortunately, as there is a high pitched whine through the first several tracks (I think it goes away) that can be heard when the music is low/between songs.  When the music is kickin', the whine can't even be heard.  If that issue didn't exist it would be a 10 out of 10!  It's really not too bad and didn't distract me terribly.

Quality for the Phish show is definitely above average, especially for 1994, really an excellent audience recording.  Why is one soundboard and one an audience?  DMB was cool like that in 1994 while Phish . . . I dunno how many '94 SBDs there are but maybe it wasn't as common for them that year as their popularity had definitely picked up by this point and there isn't a known soundboard for this show.   Soundboards not always needed, though, as this is almost an A+ for auds -- I'll go about a 9.6/10.

For the encore, I ditched the audience sourced Phish tracks and tacked on a Soundboard finish courtesy of the Dave Matthews Band recording.  Because the finale includes DMB members, I guess it got recorded . . . although how would they know ahead of time???  Perhaps the whole Phish show got recorded from the soundboard?  In any case, the finale did and it was included with the DMB files so here it is.  Well worth changing from aud to sbd for those like 22 minutes, I think it is.  A most excellent end to the night.

Very nice audience recording, well taken care of through the years and expertly converted for digital listening.  It does have one major flaw, unfortunately -- there's a tape flip during Station To Station and the sound quality isn't as great for the three-song encore.  Kind of disappointing but but you probably won't ever get a better copy and for the whole tour this might be one of the best audience recordings there is, at least overall.  It is what it is and most of the show can be incredibly enjoyed.  Seems like perhaps the vocals are a little distant sounding at first but they also seem to improve as the show goes on.  Energetic and sounding great, this is a very good '78 listen for Bowie!  Up through the tape flip flaw, I give this about a . . . maybe a 9.4 out 10 for a good solid A grade.

A mostly excellent recording that I would be quite pleased with if I was the taper.  So few issues here that mentioning them seems pointless.  Overall just a fantastic listen!  I absolutely love when the crowd noise between songs goes no louder than the music is which makes this an great capture without too many loud people around the mics.  And it's Sir Paul!!  I love so much music but this right here is about as awesome as it gets.  Okay, so some of the newer Macca material could be replaced by so much else but altogether it's an incredible night of music!  This ain't no little hour and 40 minute Bob Dylan show here, this is nearly 3 hours!  Yeah, there's stoppage between many songs here to tell a story or something but still it's just a great time from start to finish!  This man is a planetary treasure!

Trying to figure out whether it's a soundboard or an audience recording is not an easy task and had me in fits of perplexity.  Second listen and it still does. I'm really not believing it's an aud because the instruments all come through note for note.  If it's a straight soundboard feed, because of the crowd noise between songs, there must be an open mic on stage which captures all that?  Or it's just one heck of an aud!  Because of the age, though, as this is from an old tape it's not as crystal clear as a new recording would be.  There is some light hiss.  Still it sounds excellent.  And the show itself is fantastic.  I've loved every live era of The Cure but there's something about these early years that is extra special.  Very cool feel here in this roller skating rink on the first night of the Fourteen Explicit Moments Tour.  So it might be an aud because the vocals sound a little but distant at times but then how does the music sound so clear and loud?  Perplexing, see?!  Whatever it is it's a sweet listen.

Not a bad recording.  But it doesn't really impress me, either.  Levels are low so you gotta turn it way up.  It's got good sound, good vocals, most of the band is there, crowd isn't distracting or too loud between songs.  I mean, for a basketball arena of that size it's really a decent capture.  There just isn't anything here to really wow me.  It is Bob Dylan, though, so for any fan it's absolutely worth the listen!

Rockin' show!  Frank's playing ahead of a brand new album soon to come out (Teenager Of The Year) so any diehards in the crowd don't know about a dozen of the songs played.  Very nice recording.  Excellent recording?  Just about!  Very few distractions, a few talkers but so faint and brief, also a few tracking mistakes but they are incredibly minor . . . still they make me wanna track this one myself, get it better than it was done.  Above everything the music sounds great and there are no major issues here!  I'm goin' with about a 9.2 out of 10 so an A- which is still Excellent and absolutely worth listening to!
