This was the fourth of 8 tour stops in Southern U.S. venues Yes scheduled following their successful 2017 Cruise To The Edge, leading up to the big April 7, 2017 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony.

The band was very energetic and played to a very receptive but rather raucous audience. The band seemed to be having a fantastic time. Jon Davison looked like he had just come from a yoga session, while Steve Howe looked like he was ready to hit a jazz club, with his immaculate suit and his neatly trimmed beard. Alan White started out on drums through the first songs of Drama, then Jay Schellen took over the kit through the first portion of "Ritual." Alan White came back in during an extended drum section of "Ritual" and played through the remaining 3 encore songs.

Everything recorded by GeoffreyM on a TASCAM DR-44WL to SD card using 24-bit WAV at 96kHz. I recorded the show two WAV file segments. I was in first row/left of the "Loge" section, with no obstructions.

As described above, the audience was very boisterous. The TASCAM DR-44WL does not pick up much of the ambient audience sound, but you'll still hear people yelling during quiet portions of songs, such as Steve Howe's intro guitar to "Leaves of Green."

All mastering of the raw WAV files was done by Remy with Adobe Audition CC2015. Remy raised all frequency levels a bit, the frequency levels of the bass, drums and vocals were raised significantly more. The volume has been lowered with -3 dB. Remy saved it as a FLAC file and cut it into separate tracks.
