The audio quality isn't terrible, but still pretty raw. You can definitely hear the room, the bass is everywhere.
Performance is stellar.
I agree it does sound raw. A lot of the shows I have from the original band are raw. I guess I've come to expect that to a degree. It is a stellar performance though.
Sounds better than a lot of the old boots I have.
Sounds really good considering it was from a single-mic cassette recorder.
sounds pretty decent to me
sold!
It sounds better than I expected.
Thanks for the preview. This sounds fantastic. Can't wait to pick this one up

Wow, good catch Colin. I sure the Youtube video is not a mistake, it's on the official ABB Youtube account so I figured it was legit. I will ask Bert and post what I hear. Thanks for noticing that.
I'll get right to it...

@rowland Cool ... good news indeed, Rowland, thank you. By the way, do you happen to know how us guys in Europe will be able to get hold of this release? Due to Covid buying from the US is pretty haphazard ... I am still waiting for a package that was mailed 6 weeks ago! I was hoping that it might be made available via Amazon UK.
Smokin performance on remarkably listenable mono-mike cassette base.
And the deep swing of the original six is back. Ohhhh YASS baby YASS!
#facepalm as the typo errors and packaging misfires continue. 👏🎬

I'll ask and let you know if I find anything out.
I'll get right to it...

@harvey - the releases are authorized for distribution to the UK and EU but it is up to them (and Amazon) whether to carry them there - out of our control. I have a question in to Richard at the Big House Museum to find out if they ship outside the US.
I'll get right to it...
@harvey - also heard back from the Big House, their gift shop, operated by Merch Mountain, will ship outside the US.
I realize that won't be the most economical option, but at least it's an option!
I ordered from Merch Mountain a few months ago when COVID19 was going really rampant world wide. Their shipping and handling prices are steep (but minus a few big players most companies charge a lot for S&H compared to only a few years ago), and an additional dissappointed will come a few weeks later when you get charged for taxes (never had that happening before) but i also have to say that their communication was excellent and shipment was extremely fast. The package, believe it or not, arrived from Georgia, USA in the Netherlands within 3 or 4 days! Lightning speed especially regarding COVID19.

Performance is stellar.
I inquired, but got no response at the merch site, when I asked for some details on audio prep of this title (and the 2005 release) vis a vis this blurb: According to a press release, “despite the obvious limitations that come with a 50-year-old cassette tape, modern technological enhancements help restore the magic of this significant night.”
