To most Yes fans looking back at Tales From Topographic Oceans, the biggest disappointment wasn't the album, tour or Rick Wakeman's departure after the tour. It's that no soundboard or broadcast recordings exist from the tour. There are however 73 different bootleg releases of the tour. All audience recordings of differing quality from unlistenable to this great Mike Millard audience recording. In my humble opinion if you want one good recording from this tour this is the one to have. The sound is really good, Mike the Mic had a great position and with The JEMS Team's great work with the transfer you have an awesome listening experience!
