Now this transfer of Tapehead2's Analog Master via the Krw_co crew just popped up at the Trader's Den about a week ago. It's a raw transfer that has it's faults which I have noted the worst of. Now it also has it's advantages too. I have thoroughly enjoyed listening to this recording over and over since I downloaded it. So much so that my son Spider asked me to retire it for a while. I was being a little annoying, stopping and starting so I could catalog some blemish in the recording. Don't let the list of faults keep you from downloading most do not affect any music. It really is a nice listen! I'm sure someone will remaster this sooner or later, it's a great start, a little EQ and manual noise removal and this could be polished into a gem.

This time Rosebud picked our post for the Salute To Progressive Rock Bands Series. This is what she had to say about it....

Dave took me to my first Yes show about 2 years after we met. It was a show that focused more on the Radio hits I knew like "Owner Of A Lonely Heart", "Long Distance Runaround" etc. Unfortunately for some reason the sound was off in the theater balcony. You could barely hear and people kept shushing each other. The Next time we saw them was at Pine Knob Amphitheater which is a larger venue. We had like 8th row seats (Dave pulled some strings to get). They opened with a song I never heard before. When they announced the next song Dave said  something like "....Yes! Tales" lit a joint and passed it to me. Then said "You're most likely to hear the more Proggy side tonight". He was right they were awesome, I recognized "Roundabout" that was it LOL! On this recording there's a little hum sometimes from amplifiers but the band plays so well and it's not real noticeable when they play.

From what I understand there actually were some people who were disappointed in both the ABW&H album and tour. I frankly loved the album, and although I didn't have the pleasure of seeing the band on their only tour, bootlegs like this one make me think I missed something pretty freaking great. My first Yes experience would come in the form of the Union Tour 4 rows back form the stage.

Since the name Yes was owned by Chris Squire, the band entertained the idea of using the name The Afirmative. NO was also in the running but they soon settled on their last names. A rose by any other name would still kick your progressive rock ass. This great recording is actually an abridged version, I assume from a re-broacast, there is a 2 CD version floating around but all I've found of that is dead links.
