Taper's Notes:

I always liked YES, I was never a diehard fan like I was with Rush,
but I got into alot of their stuff and had seen them a few times. One
time was just a couple years before this in 2002 and I will admit I
wasn't really into that show, maybe it was just the "shed" vibe that
just didn't seem to fit with the atmosphere too well. But when they
announced the 35th Anniversary Tour and I saw it would be at indoor
arenas here, I figured I'd give them another try and I'm glad I did as I
really enjoyed the 2 FL shows I saw and got me back into them a bit
more after the 2002 one.

Upon learning they were having a pre-sale and that the shows were
slated to be set-up as more intimate "theater" seating inside the
arenas, I was lucky enough to score some killer seats and for this one
I was 16th row DFC which turned out to be a great view and some seriously
great sound to say the least ;) The crowd around me was pretty good, you
will hear them as you do at most YES shows, but they are not too bad at
all and the music mostly does the talking on this one! I am not a big fan
of "acoustic sections" in live concerts overall, but that portion they did
a nice job on and I enjoyed it very much. But the full on electric songs
were what I was there for and they did not disappoint!! Some totally
mindblowing versions of many songs throughout from Sweet Dreams and Yours
Is No Disgrace to the insane version of Ritual really shined!! It was also
nice to hear them play Mind Drive and South Side Of The Sky was just
wicked awesome ;) If you are a YES fan, diehard or casual, you need this
one to crank on up!!! :)

Once again I'd like to say a big thanks to SiriusJoe for mastering this
puppy to disc from my DAT!! :)



Release Notes:

As always, feel free to share this anywhere you'd like, MP3 is fine for
personal use, but please don't distribute in that format. Please do not
alter/remaster/matrix this release. A great deal of effort went into
capturing and producing this recording, and we would prefer it to
remain as we have presented it. Your cooperation will encourage many
more releases in the future. ;)


Thanks & enjoy the show!
