This IS a Great AUD Recording Of CLASSIC Rainbow!
Live from Japan in 1976!
Back When Tony Carey Was Still in the Band...
Back When BOTH Cozy & Ronnie Were Still Alive!
HELL, Back When There WAS a Rainbow!
The Performance Is Fire Captured As Sound!
The Sound Quality IS Great For An AUD Recording...
And, This Got Me To Thinkin': I NEVER Have Really Stated Out Loud And All My Grading /Rating System (As It Is...).
Most Places Use Letters Like A School Report Card: A+ and All That, AND Some Sites Use Numbers: 8.5/10 And Such...
ME, I Just Figured It Was Easier To DESCRIBE The Sound I'm Hearin' (Which Is STILL Just As Subjective As Anything Else, I Guess...)
So Anyway - IF I Was To Write It Out, It Would Look Somethin' Like THIS:
EXCELLENT - Just What It SAYS - Top Notch, Stellar, Awesome - Hardly, Anyone Would Argue It's Sound Quality OR Record Labels Could Release Tomorrow With Little To No Effort...
What I Call "The Damn Near-Perfect Bootleg!"
GREAT - Just Under The Wire Of Excellent - Some Minor Flaws Hold It Back, Etc.
REALLY GOOD - A Notch Below Great - Too Many Minor Flaws Or Even A Major One Or Two...
DECENT - Listenable & Even Enjoyable, BUT Probably NOT a Keeper, EXCEPT to Collectors Of That Particular Group, Etc.
GOOD - Listenable, But Just Barely...
FAIR - Awful, Terrible - Somethin' You Don't Want!
The Biggest Problem With THIS Bootleg IS:
It's Tracked Into Too Many Files (21 on CD 1 Alone!)
FLAC Would Be Much Better For All Those Transitions, So IF You Find It, Grab It!
The Band's Performance More Than Makes Up For Any Sound Quality Issues...
