Sound quality: 8-9/10, vg+ to ex- IMHO, as always. 2nd generation audience recording, I have been assured. This sounds pretty good on a car stereo, but is best listened to on headphones for the full sonic experience. I received this show in a trade over 20 years ago from a good tape trader friend. He was acquainted with the original taper. I did NOT attend this show so this description will not be my typical long-winded diatribe. For a tape that was recorded in 1973 on somewhat primitive equipment, this show sounds pretty damn good. I think that the taper was very close to the stage because the audience is not really very audible for the most part. You'll hear Alice bantering with teenage girls in the audience between songs as well as yelling at the audience from time to time but that's about it. Very little to no talking, whistling, screaming, yelling, etc. No speed fluctuations and little to no distortion. The tape is very bassy from time to time but not a real problem IMHO. There seems to be no hiss. The tape at times sounds a little muffled as if the taper were hiding the mic from security, but again no big problem. Alice's vocals are almost always clear and the instruments are usually pretty clear. I did nothing to alter the sound ; this is the RAW tape as I got it. The only things that I DID do were to track the songs and to edit out several short dropouts where the recorder was inexplicably turned off for just a few seconds. I then spliced the gaps together and you'll barely be able to tell where these were fused. That's about the extent of it, so let's wrap this up.... As always, if you have a better-sounding version of this concert, by all means PLEASE UPLOAD IT!!! No buy, no sell, no mp3. Please seed this as long as you can. This 2nd generation version has NOT been circulated widely so JUMP ON IT !!! A very intense show which really exhibits the excellence that was Alice Cooper in 1973. I will post a sample for those of you still undecided, but I think you'll find that this is a fine-sounding tape for the time period and a welcome addition to any Alice Cooper fan's collection. Well, thanks for reading this and Mr. Natural would like to add these few comments: scream along with Alice, don't freak out and by all means, enjoy the concert!!! Nota bene: You have my blessing if you want to remaster this show but I ask these two things: PLEASE know what the hell you're doing so you don't make a fool of yourself and subject yourself to world-wide ridicule and PLEASE post what you produce here on DIME for all to share. Unless it sucks. Then delete it in shame while we all snicker. That is all. Smoke 'em if you got 'em...
