    kills it. absolutely obliterates it. 4:40 - 4:55 is straight up nasty, and the whole solo shows his musical ability in his "prime". Throughout 81-83 he uses the Jon Lord effect, with the heavy Overdrive. Sounds good. Warfield 1983-03-31 is very similar minus the amazing the scat. Sorry, don't mean to be a connoisseur of Roosters, but I loved it when he used to kick it into "Overdrive", and not just musically, but mentally, and physically. That guy could bring the f*****' house down.

    St. Stephen 6.4 has it right that this recording is very bright and tinny but, if you have music editing software and throw a lot of bass and some reverb in the mix to tone down this "sweet spot" Front-Of-Board baby, the show is much easier on the ears. That said, when the show is dialed in correctly, the whole package is phenominal. The five stars is given only if you can soften up the treble.
