An excellent release taken from what must surely be the definitive fan source! [alantwr]

The best video quality I ever seen for this show. The audio is IMHO too much hissy respect the quality of the video. I think that now there are the instruments to cut down the noise without introducing artifact in the sound. Anyway A+ [mirobaldo]

The best "Pop Shop" quality video, but not a perfect sound quality. I would like to know about a remastered audio version of this show. [ragnarock]

I have no clue what version I have. I don't think it is this one. Nevertheless, a great historical document of the band. The sound it seems has never been that great. The songs are all complete though there may be one small section where the band omitted a few measures. If my memory serves. Still, I had always wanted to see this program in its entirety and I wasn't disappointed whatsoever! [duke23]

An excellent remaster, to what is an already great sounding show. Even better now. [NeilC]

stunning versions of all songs, my fav of the NC shows [drumdani]

This TM Production remaster, blows all the others shows out of the water. Defiantly the best NC gig by far. [Squonkendos]

This is the only version of this classic, great sounding audience-recorded (stereo reel-to-reel!) show that i've heard (so far--sorry). It sounds quite good, and is an essential recording of Genesis in early 1972!
(It does run a very tiny bit too fast though, and needs to be lowered in pitch by a small degree: -0.4%). My favorite aud. recording from '72! [syncopatico]

My version of this is apparently the 'Roma, 18 April, 1972" boot, with the 'boot' on the cover. I think this is one of the finest complete Foxtrot shows I own. On a scale of 1-10 it get 6.5 for recording, but 8.5 for significance and listenability. For the era, it's one of the best I've heard from the tour. [lovesick_alien]

Having just listened to this recording for the first time in months. I feel it is of excellent sound quality for its age, it captures the rawness and power of this early Italian show. As the band were improving there stage performance, definately deserves a B+. A must for any trader. [NeilC]

The quality of this recording just amazes me! Whoever recorded this deserves to be canonised! A+ all the way around!!! [Bangsmith]

Bluntly - if you only could have one bootleg - this would be the one I would pick. There are better sounding recordings, but the guys were just kicking ass on this one! [Speedy]

I'd have to pretty much agree with all of the above. Beyond what has already been said about this one, the tape is in great shape for its age; has a very pronounced Bass presence throughout, and one dropout is present during "Going Out To Get You" about midway through. Clarity is quite excellent but be aware that distortion creeps in during the loud bits. Hackett seemed to have a problem staying plugged in because he disappears entirely a few times. Despite its limitations, it is an excellent example of early Genesis and really is a must have. [duke23]
