I was wondering if anyone felt the same because one thing I've realised from the years of collecting PF recordings is that I really enjoy some recordings that are roomy, in a way that I can picture the surroundings, they don't have to be super high fidelity, it does help if they are stereo, however.
For instance, checking out photos online of certain venues, places like the old Wembley Empire Pool, and then listening to 'Little Lambs Eat Ivy' and imagining what it felt like to be in that big room.
If a ROIO has a bit of lead-up time before the music starts, even better to hear the murmuring, distant yells, and whoops.
Also, the crowd ambience from outdoor recordings can be interesting too, things like Crystal Palace the combination of distance, the weather, the surrounding chatter, and an underperforming late 60s PA system are all super evocative.
The first few minutes of the recent Ivor Wynne footage really sent me into a tailspin, about the closest thing most of us will ever get to the feeling of being there.
What say you?
