• Pro TV Studio 8.7 - A good live recording with atmosphere, it sounds slightly dated but has the ability to transport you to the time and place…I think that when a recording can do that, it overcomes some of the limitations that may be present. This recording does lack a little bit of middle band clarity. Yes Amsterdam Concert Hall Netherlands 1972 (Last track - Hollywood Bowl 1975) 1. I've Seen All Good People 2. Heart Of The Sunrise 3. Rick Wakeman Solo 4. Long Distance Runaround 5. Yours Is No Disgrace 6. The Gates Of Delirium
  • Audience 9.2 - A big and warm sound here, with excellent clarity and dynamics. The music at full blast gets just a bit of overload (not distortion, but just a sense of the wall of sound thing) all in all it is safe to say this one is highly recommended. Yes December 01, 1974 Louisiana State University Baton Rouge, Louisiana Disc 1: 1.01 Firebird Suite (2.47) 1.02 Sound Chaser (9.45) 1.03 Close To The Edge (20.20) 1.04 To Be Over (9.39) 1.05 The Gates Of Delirium (22.17) 1.06 And You And I (9.20) Disc 2: 2.01 Ritual (24.54) 2.02 Roundabout (9.02)
  • Radio Broadcast 8.8 - Well, this is one unique sounding recording for a radio broadcast. When I first began to listen I thought this was an open mic style thing but when the guitar kicked in I knew it was probably a live mixed open mic/close mic job. The engineer battles to get a decent mix but it doesn’t reach the levels of what you’d expect of a professional broadcast recording. Does that mean it is bad? No, it’s decent sounding for all intents and purposes…but it certainly could have been a lot better. That said, it’s a great performance by the band. I was introduced to the music of Yes not by the ubiquitous Close To The Edge but from the album Tormato, which they are touring here, and in particular by the song “Don’t Kill The Whale” which I love to this day and which is performed here.

    YES – Decades 1970-1980 (Deluxe Metal Canister 11 CD)

    Original price was: $85.00.Current price is: $70.00.
    This set was assembled with both the hardcore collector and casual collector in mind. The variety of material that will appeal to longtime Yes collectors is the immediate standout feature, aside from the beautiful design of the canister itself. Now, let this be the one and only disclaimer: The inclusion of the Dallas 1972 show, even though it may be considered below the high standards set by collectors of this venerable progressive rock band, was too important to not acknowledge here because, as you know, we lost Alan White not that long ago and the Dallas '72 gig was his first with the band. It's also kind of interesting to hear how well he did with only a couple of days to learn the challenging material. The rest of the set is an excellent combination of stuff guaranteed to keep you interested throughout the entire set. Highlights include the new to circulation Providence 1976 which is an excellent sounding tape, and the demos/alternates from Time And A Word.

  • Audience 8.7 - Electric and palpable, from the band on down to the audience members, a solid gig and a pretty enjoyable recording with a terrific bass response especially. In the pantheon of Yes shows, I’d have to rate this performance as transcendent, and a great reminder of what Patrick Moraz contributed in his brief tenure.

  • Soundboard 9.3 - I enjoy listening to excellent recordings of Yes from 1980 and 1984 because  they are full of music that I always manage to find new depth of creativity in every time I hear it. Maybe it wasn’t my favorite Yes period back then, but I can appreciate it now. Great quality, and so it is the 1980 Drama sessions material on Disc 2. YES Park Stadium Hershey, PA.

  • Audience 9.3 - A very bright sounding tape, good clarity, and good depth of sound especially the toms, vocals, and a rather brassy but classy bass. Aside from any soundboards out there, this tour is worth re-examining and having very strong tapes to enjoy again is truly appreciated and you will love this one.

  • Audience 9.3 - Legendary Mike “The Mic” Millard recording and what a sparkling one it is. It’s hard to place Yes’s music into any sort of time frame because it is timeless, therefore a good 1991 show is just as “good” as a 1971 show, meaning as you listen you realize there’s no real difference in that the 1991 show might as well be the band during any time frame because it’s just as good.

  • Audience 9.6 - After allowing the soundman to adjust during the first few minutes of the show, what you soon will discover is that this is one of the best ’77 shows ever. Not just for sound quality, but performance. Just amazing in every way…and an absolute must have.

  • Audience 8.8 - A tape that does NOT suffer at all from narrowness as it is truly wide open and atmospheric… but at the expense of separation of instruments. Does that mean it is bad or not worth hearing?  Hell no – this is a VERY GOOD tape recording, I think for myself I always want to hear distinct bass notes because I am such a big fan of Chris Squire, and here he is mainly the “bottom” for the sound, and occasionally you get to hear his notes ring out and float above the sound but not always. I am spoiled though, because not all tapes are going to be Cleveland ’78!  However, since this is a 1980 show, I think it is one to get as I find this period of the band extremely interesting to listen to especially live. Good stuff!

  • Audience 8.8 - A reasonably clear and even somewhat dynamic old tape, that sounds to me like someone did some work on it and thankfully so.  I’ll take as many of these 1980 tapes as I can because I think this is a misunderstood period for the band. I personally think this is incredibly progressive music, and of course they sound great especially here in front of a London audience.

  • Audience 9.5 - A sparkling, vivid recollection of a moment in time when an evening of progressive rock music was being performed by masters of the craft, and it was sublime. A recording that has wonderful atmosphere, solid and deep, showcasing both guitar and bass in a manner so that each are distinct yet blended perfectly.

  • Audience 9.7 - It takes the soundman a little while to dial it in, I mean, there's a lot going on so give him a break! Once he gets his mix right, it's off to the raises and one heck of a winning ticket. This is one of the best, Alan White has never been as fluid, even with the extended and complex jamming he's on every beat like a beastmaster. Steve Howe is in excellent form, in fact they all are...amazing!

  • Audience 9.4 - This is a killer!  First, it’s new to circulation and second, it’s fantastic sounding. Taper was right in the sweet spot with excellent gear, got the whole show…and yup, it’s a wonderful performance so this one checks all the boxes. Yes Long Beach Arena Long Beach, CA.

  • Audience 9.5 - Outstanding, dynamic, and super clear recording that takes you right back to this night, in fact this tape probably sounds better than what you would have heard in your seats at the gig.

  • Audience 9.5 - Brilliant recording in every respect, and one that I dare say rivals a lot of board tapes in dynamics and presence (definitely beats most boards in the presence dept.). Is that heresy? I don’t care if it is, I would take a tape like this over a board tape every time.
