Audience recording, remastered 9/2007 by TheTooleMan

Lineage: tape (unknown gear, unknown generation) -> Highland release ?Listen in Time? (Highland HL114/15#Y21) -> EAC -> FLAC -> Sound Forge (remaster) -> FLAC

The performance is most noteworthy as the second live show by this Yes line-up since 1974, and the second of three small town run-throughs before taking it to the ?big time? in Philadelphia and New York City.

This is not a very good recording to begin with, but it has been improved some by balancing the levels of the left and right channels, repairing clipping, and cutting a hum from the bottom end of the audio. The pitch was also a little high, and has been corrected.

Check out the odd placement of a few tracks ? ?And You And I? comes before the two quiet pieces from GFTO, rather than afterward; the title song of the new album is played next-to-last during the encore, and Steve Howe?s solo spot is placed mid-set.

There are also some interesting entries from people who attended this show at http://forgottenyesterdays.com/date.asp?s=5&tname=8&tdate=1259&navb=10. Apparently Wakeman nearly fell flat on his face during his big part in ?Close to the Edge.?
