Audience 8.1 - Some of the bite is removed on this recording. The highs are leveled off completely it seems. I mean, the sound is all there, if a touch centered in the mids, but you will find yourself wishing for the crash and dazzle. Still, it is listenable and worthy. -
Audience 8.8 - A stellar audience tape! Good highs, well captured sound that ain’t perfect but sure is nice! -
Audience 8.9 - A very forceful sound, might be front and center of the room, and pretty darn clear too. Wonderful! -
Audience 8.7 - Pretty decent with the only gripe being a lack of stereo sound separation but don’t let that deter you. This is a decent, powerful recording. -
CD 1 - London Roundhouse 1971 – Aud 7.6 - Can hear it all, but there is some hiss present. CD 2 - Amougies 1969 – Audience 7.8 - Some tape hiss, but can hear every instrument. Not a full rich sound by any means, it’s an audience tape from 1969, but that being said I still enjoyed it and it’s a pretty frenetic show, a little unhinged even. -
Soundboard 9.5 - Right here, this is the one to get from this tour. Sparkling! Note: Of all the Yes shows I have heard, and I have heard many, although there are many close seconds, for some reason this is my all time favorite. The Audio is superb and the vibe is present with both the audience and the band. Stunning! -
Audience 7.4 (7.8 in quieter parts). -
Audience 8.2 -
Audience 9.5 - Flawless audience capture! -
Soundboard 9.8 - Exceptional sound and performance make this not only a must have, but a desert island disc! -
Audience 9.3 - This is Chris Squire’s show! Bass sounds rad! -
Audience 7.4 - Thin sounding and narrow but can probably benefit from some EQ. Start with the bottom end. -
Audience 9.3 - Extremely vibrant and dynamic recording. -
Audience 7.7 - Somewhat compressed sound translating into a murky type mix, but sonically it is not offensive just not very detailed. There’s also some tape noise present. The selling point of course is that this is a very adventurous, musically speaking, set. Long long tracks with much bravado and brilliance. Worth it for that alone! -
Soundboard 9.5 - Fantastic, sparkling, brilliance! Right up there with the Cleveland show from 1978. -
Audience 8.6 - The key to enjoying this show is you have to turn it up very loud as the levels are low. -
Audience 7.5 - Total audience immersion. Great package but not a great recording. -
Audience 8.4 - A really good capture all things considered. At moments it gets very immersive. -
Audience 9.2 - Sweet “in the pocket” sound makes this a great listen! -
Audience 9.4 - Lively, crisp, detailed sound make this a MUST have for this tour. -
Audience 7.8 - A little tape noise comes through, but the music has frequency intact giving it a pretty good overall sound field – maybe slightly compressed and not pinpoint accurate with the separation but one can get into this show. It is a “fine” audience capture. -
Audience 7.9 - This is NOT a hi-fidelity tape at all, but for what it is you will find yourself diving in with all ears. Why? It is an INTIMATE capture, with a great warm bass sound, and just a real closeness and immediacy that overcomes what are some obvious tape limitations. The BEST average audience tape you will ever hear! -
Soundboard 9.2 -
Audience 8.6 - Steve Howe guitar is prominent in the mix, which I am fine with. -
Audience 8.9 - A worthy addition to any Yes fan’s collection! The selling point? A band absolutely firing on all cylinders, and a great “live” sounding tape! -
Audience 7.6 - Reasonably clear tape, with a touch of that bass drum and bass guitar boom for a large hall but it does not intrude on guitar which comes through it all. -
Audience 8.3 - Not too bad, with some telltale big hall boom (not that much) and maybe recorded from somewhere in the middle of the hall. It’s a welcome tape though, not that many decent 76 shows to choose from. -
Audience 8.8 - Very nice and clear, with a great low end presence and warm atmosphere. Absolutely lovely to listen to and besides that it’s from a relatively poorly documented tour. Very worthwhile! -
Soundboard 8.9 - A solid, gut punching recording that focuses in on some good midrange and a well defined Chris Squire. Good deal! -
Audience 7.7 - Thin sound but guitar and vocals very present. Not all that bad really. Can enjoy this one. -
Audience 7.2 - Crowded in the middle, with more definition contained in the upper frequencies, but too much clutter for me on this one. Good for the serious collector, as most people know the band really hit their stride on the European leg of this tour.
