(40 Mins), Sound Quality: B -
Possibly the most inferior recoding I have in my collection , although historical. This is the Beatles in Japan with tons of screaming girls and the classic droned out Beatles sound (this was very common with the screaming). I am assuming this was recorded from a poor quality soundboard Song Listing: Rock & Roll Music, Shes A Woman, Day Tripper, If I Needed Someone, Baby's In Black, I Feel Fine, Yesterday, I Wanna Be Your Man, Nowhere Man, Paperback Writer, I'm Down

Recorded from a fine quality handheld stereo mic, this 2 CD set captured The Rhino King live on stage at Toronto's El - Mocambo promoting his Twang Bar King album. Sound quality is very good with few audio flaws and a pretty darn consistent sound level making this a very enjoyable set. Adrian here is performing with his band made up of Adrian Belew (Guitar & Vocals), Christey Bley (Keys), Bill Janssen (Sax, Guitar), Larrie London (Drums), Mike Scheff (Bass). Many classic Belew tracks are performed including Lone Rhino, Fishhead, Adidas In Heat and Big Electric Cat. Left and Right Channel are quite well balanced as well with reasonable instrumental seperation. As you would expect lots of great guitar work and strange sampling.

October 15th 1967
2 CD, Snooker Records
(110 Mins), Sound Quality: B+

Genesis - Selling England By The
Session, 2 CD Set, Highland Records
U.K. (120 Mins), Sound Quality : B -
2 CD set spans the "Selling England By The Pound" rehearsals. Album coverage is quite good with a great 21 mins version of the making of the "Battle Of Epping Forest". Definitely CD package is purely for the lovers of this album who want more histroical insight into the arguing and performances Genesis were striving for at this time. CD also includes a few studio improvisational moments which I found interesting to listen to. Sound quality is mediocre and not a full stereo reporduction by any stretch of the imagination. Details suggest these in studio sessions were from July - Aug 1973 in Island Studios London England. Source is soundboard but mono

Genesis - The Lamb Descends On
Waterbury, 2 CD Set, Oxygen Records
U.K. (149 Mins), Sound Quality : A -
This boot captures Genesis live exceptionally well here at their height of their career. This is a soundboard recording from the '74 show in Waterbury CT. USA Dec 1974 which deserves a great rating on the ol boot sound index (A - to A). Like most boots sound flaws exist,but they do not distract the listener from enjoying the whole show. Genesis get into some extended jams here and I love the narration on "Back In NYC" (one of my all time fav tracks). CD 2 after completing the Lamb Lies Down travels in the studio and contains various mixes and songs in different stages. Sound quality on the studio work is varied and ranges from exceletn to very poor...

Grobschnitt - Solar Music Live
In Dortmund, Sonic Residue Records
8/12/1978 Dortmund Westfalenhalle
Germany (75 Mins), Sound Quality : A -
Without a question Grobschnitt's "Solar Music" is one the greatest songs performed live and theis rare recording captures this entire performance from 1978. Overall sound quality of the main event (Solar Music) is excellent while the first 2 short tracks have been sourced from a very inferior bootleg somewhere and stuck on (very common with bootlegs). Anyway you would want this really only for the version of Solar Music.

(65 Mins), Sound Quality: B -
Rare Handheld recording of IQ live in concert in 1991.

Semi official release which was available on download from the King Crimson website for a short period recorded in 1996. CD is sourced definitely from the soundboard or great FM broadcast.

2 CD Set, 2002 Toronto Canada
(110 Mins), Sound Quality: B -
The 2002 tour in Toronto saw King Crimson perform a good chunk of improvisational material and move away for many of the more classic KC grooves.

The cover Art very closely resembles the Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab's Original Master Recordings series of CD's with gold horizonal stripes running across the cover against a black background. Large gold stripe at the top reading "ORIGINAL MASTER SERIES" in the same font used by MFSL.

All in all its one of the best sounding roios ever if you like to feel as though you where there at the concert. The performace is exellent with the vocal being the best I have heard 1970 and a good amount of exepermention going on.

(100 Mins), Sound Quality: A-
This bootleg has appeared under a ton of other titles but has been compiled as a double CD and nicely assembled with a twist being the voice of John Peel as the evenings emcee. Pink Floyd were at thier most creative these 2 evenings with a fantastic version of Careful with that axe Eugene and Embryo.

Nov 16, 1974 Wembley
(50 Mins), Sound Quality: B+
Actually this live complete peformance of Pink Floyd and The Dark Side Of The Moon was recorded 16 Nov 1974, Empire Pool, Wembley and was a BBC FM broadcast...this disc says Feb 1972, London, which is not right. Sound quality is good and was an FM radio broadcast. Sound dynamics are not great but still quite listenable , just missing the highs. Overall concert though is quite steady and once you are into it does pplay quite fine right thru. Some claim this is be best show they did ever of the Dark side available today in the black market.

Pink Floyd - Crazy Diamonds
2 CD Set, Triangle Records
Boston USA, June 18th, 1975
(124 Mins), Sound Quality: B
Recorded during the 1975 concert and recorded via handheld recorder offering that classic skunky bootleg sound quality you normally would expect. The best thing about this 2 CD set is that is give us insight into the DOGs album before it was released with songs still titled in early stage like "Raving & Drooling" and "You've Got To Be Crazy".Recorded at the Boston Garden, the first CD to cover a complete 1975 US tour set. Most enjoyable are the preformances of "Gotta Be Crazy", which is different to both the 74 and 77 (Dogs) versions, and one of the last pre-87 "Ecoes", with very nice sax solos. Song listing: Raving & Drooling, You've Got To Be Crazy, Shine On You Crazy Diamond (1-5), Have A Cigar, Shine On (6-9), Speak To Me, Breathe, On The Run, Time, Beathe Reprise, The Great Gig In The Sky, Money, Us & Them, Any Color You Like, Brain Damage, Eclipse, Echoes.

2 CD Set, Harvested Records
Ivor Wynne Stadium Canada
(140 Mins), Sound Quality: A
Recorded live while on tour in 1975 at Ivor Wynne Stadium June 28th, 1975. Sound quality is very good and I am assuming was taken from the sound board a while back. My personal copy offers excellent sound resolution and I have heard other copies which sound much worse than this version...likely a different source tape and certainly tape generation. This 2 CD set is very enjoyable with few glitches and flaws.Song Listing: The Great Gig In The Sky (6:38), Money (9:09), Us & Them (7:29), Any Color You Like (9:29), Brain Damage (3:55), Eclipse (2:16), Echoes(24:42), Exit (0:40)
