Definitely right channel heavy.  It's too bad whoever remastered this did not equalize the channels.  If you can get over that it sounds pretty good.  There are still innumerable clicks/pops but they're quite faint, noticeable but not loud.  Seems like most of 'em are within the first several songs and they lessen from then out but are usually there in each track.  I am still very much enjoying this recording.  Great show with one little not-so-normal part, the Kraftwerk song with a guest singer.  They steamroll right up to that point then after that odd moment in the show they roll right on through to the end without missing a beat.  It's not an A+, some might even say A- but I'm goin' with about a 9.3 out of 10 for an A.  I do love this show and will definitely play it again!

A private party at $500 a person for the grand opening of a new ballroom at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts.  I'm not sure if everyone seeing Sheryl Crow paid $500 or not but it kinda seems like this is not a room full of her fans who know all her lyrics.  That kinda takes away from the greatness of the show but Sheryl rolls with it best she can.  As far as the recording goes, my first impression is that it's kinda lacking in the low end and feels a little distant but nothing terrible.  Sheryl's vocals are loud and clear and the band sounds fine.  It's definitely a good recording that had me up and dancing a time or two (maybe three!)  9.2 out of 10 for an A- which is still excellent and worth listening to!  And yes, that is Led Zeppelin's Rock and Roll as the final song of the show.  Very cool!

The legend keeps a-rollin'.  I wasn't really looking to collect any 2017 European Bob but the opportunity presented itself at the right time and here's my newest Dylan show, fairly hot off the presses, to use an old expression.  Sound quality seems to get better around the half way mark, or at least that's about when I started to really notice the sometimes soundboard-like quality shining through.  Crowd noise is moderate and nothing horribly distracting or ear shattering.  A sweet capture for the last hour but I think the first songs with mushy-kinda sound mighta been the house's problem and slowly the sound guys got it together.  Definitely an A grade show, an excellent 9.5 out of 10.

This is weird music, man.  Actually it's the lyrics and the style they're sang that's odd.  The music itself is often top notch, kick ass, tightly well played.  And new to me.  I've loved and listened to rock and roll all my life, well, since I was like 8-ish, since the very launch of MTV (back when it was relevant, when they actually had something to do with music!)  I grew up listening to one of the best rock and roll radio stations on the planet -- WNEW-FM in New York City.  But I never really listened to Frank Zappa.  That's whose music is being played here, right?  Ha ha, yes, of course it is.  Interestingly I got into Dweezil Zappa when he released albums in the 80's, but never Frank.  I have started downloading his albums with the intent of listening to his whole catalog in order but haven't really gotten to it yet.  So listening to this is kinda sorta expanding my musical horizons.  It is.  And my impression of it -- weird.  But good.  And since I never really listened to Frank, there's nothing for me to compare to which is probably a great thing, I get to just take it as it is!  As far as the sound quality of the recording -- at times it sounds like a soundboard.  Super impressive as the instruments come in so clearly, so distinctly.  Vocals, too.  The crowd noise isn't terrible but when Dweezil's talkin' to the crowd, you do gotta turn it up and be a little aware of the the volume as a few people wanna shout something back at him or the sound at that point is a little low so might actually wanna turn it up to hear him better.  Overall, an excellent recording and as far as auds go, I'm going (low) A+ on this one, about a 9.7 out of 10.

Some call this show legendary.  Why?  Because there exists such great audio and video recordings compared to other shows of the same tour?  Yeah, the band is tight, the songs are smokin' and it's an awesome listen top to bottom . . . but what gives it that extra special something to make it legendary?  I dunno.  What I do know is it sounds fantastic!  It's clear between songs that it's an audience recording but usually it sounds just like a freakin' soundboard!  Awesome show!

Final night of a four night stand at this intimate jazz club where each seat is within 50 feet of the stage.  Intimate is right.  Not a bad recording, either.  Not like the room is crowded enough to drive up the human decibel level.  Of course there could be loud people near the taper but that's fortunately not the case.  The music sounds good.  My only complaint might be the vocals are not super clear but still they sound fine.  This is a solid A grade recording all the way -- 9.4 out of 10, very diggable, especially the Grateful Dead's Bertha!  And while Good Lovin' ain't an original Dead song, that is a nod to them since they played fit it quite well into their setlists and often played the heck out of it.  As always this is great stuff from The Wolves of East L.A.!

IEM recordings (Inner Ear Monitor) if you do not know, are funky little creatures similar to a soundboard but they include count-offs and metronome-like ticking to help the band keep the beat.  When expertly combined with a fantastic audience recording you get an A+ outcome like this one.  It's not perfect as there are a few very brief moments of static but overall it's a great listen, methinks.  Yes, the count-offs are weird to hear and they're not there on an aud or sbd or fm recording, but the IEM recording adds so much that your average audience recording doesn't pick up -- like the music and vocals coming in loud and clear.

I don't often comment on quality of performance because one man's lackluster show is another man's "best concert ever."  Here we have what feels like another great Pearl Jam show, nothin' special but that doesn't mean it's not special, it's another great Pearl Jam show!  Make sense?  And what's there to say about sound quality?  Doesn't get better -- 10 out of a 10.  Usually this space is for me to expound on the issues an audience recording may have or how it stands above the rest, but we don't have issues here.  Kinda wish all live shows were available in this quality -- only completely for free.  How capitalist to actually charge money!!!  Sheesh.  Where's the Marxism in Rock and Roll?  Free shows, free soundboards for everyone!  It's not fair to the people with no money who can't buy and enjoy what you're getting rich off.  People can't be equal when some are the haves and some the have nots.  Terrible, terrible.

Nice kinda early in their career, kinda short DMB show at an all male private school up the road from Charlottesville, VA (the band's hometown.)  Sounds like they got a bunch of their friends to make the trip as you can hear a bunch of them yelling for Carter two or three times.  Sound quality is not bad although noticeably hissy/noisy between songs and during quieter parts.  The music is slightly dulled and not super crisp but still quite excellent.  (Amazing, ain't it, how that works out?  Not an A+ but still maintains A+ characteristics!)  A very nice 9.5 out of 10 recording.

Apparently there is a longer version of this show out there, filling out a disc versus this coming in at about 54 minutes.  Oh well.  I hate incomplete shows but this is one in the truest sense and it's even a bit of a selection of the show, culling about half the songs into one hour long King Biscuit Flower Hour.  Maybe one day I'll get that upgrade to the longer version with a few more songs but for now this is a good almost hour of Cros.  Great quality, too, like a 9.9 out of 10.  Gotta love that!

Right from the start this is a little frustrating to listen to.  Sir Eric begins with acoustic songs that are on the quieter side and he plays while people talk away.  During each quiet song they talk talk talk away.  So annoying.  It's not terrible, it's not louder than the music, but it's there and personally I don't like it.  The recording musically is very nice, though!  Vocals and guitar are excellent.  Louder songs really shine (because you can't hear people talking!)  If it wasn't for the conversation this would get a higher grade.  Other issues: one small tracking problem before Hoochie Coochie Man but essentially no music is missing.  Other than that there's nothing major to speak of.  Another excellent audience recording.  9.4 out of 10 for a solid A.

So not an all out rockin' Who show but still a very cool listen.  Roger's vocals are either a little low in the mix or else the "taper" was not in an optimal spot to capture them as up front as they should be.  Despite that, the music sounds great with virtually no crowd noise over the top of it.  Between songs, crowd noise is quite minimal.  I often like to compare two or three sources (if there are that many,) throw away the worst ones and keep only the best sounding . . . but if another source shows up for this show, I'm not even gonna check it 'cause this one's pretty acceptably great.

So apparently George Harrison was once upon a time in a band called The Beatles?  Named after the Volkswagen?  I dunno, never heard of 'em!

Anyway, this is a benefit concert he did for the Natural Law Party (look it up.)  It kind of comes on the heels of a tour George did with Eric Clapton, in Japan in December a few months prior.  The same band is used this night, sadly without Clapton but bringing in for this one night Mike Campbell, who is one of George Harrison's Traveling Wilbury's bandmates  guitarists (of Tom Petty's The Heartbreakers.)

After this night on stage with George as the headliner, there never was another concert with his name on the ticket or the marquee outside, not until the memorial concert for him after his death over 10 years later (which, coincidentally, would take place on this very same stage at the RAH.)  So this essentially is the final George Harrison concert ever.

It's an audience recording and isn't too bad.  Look, if an an audience recording really bites, I would say so and I'd also say that I would be questioning myself if I decided to hold onto it, I'd probably just wanna throw it away and not care to ever waste my time listening to it again.  This isn't one of those.  This is really a good A grade recording that I do look forward to hearing again one day.  Nice setlist and the band plays well together.  Definitely an enjoyable listen!
