Now for something a bit different for all you Yes fans. I got a set of 1st gen tapes of this show from the taper. I actually attended this show with the taper and although I was on row 2, down front, the taper was about 10 rows back or so in the center of the Saenger Theatre. I converted and remastered this show to CD about 5 or 6 years ago and it has been traded around the Yes trading circles over the years both on tape and CD. There are a few tape splits here and there as evidenced by the fade outs/ins, but most of the show is intact. As a bonus I have included the pre-show radio interview Jon gave at the local University of Louisiana radio station, KTUL (minus the studio album cuts, hence the strange track numbering in the torrent). This was Jon Anderson's last show of his US tour and it was an outstanding performance.
