This is a favorite of mine, Yes in their early days, after the recording of "The Yes Album". It's a bit rough in place, but the band is in full power and they really stretch on some numbers. The version of Paul Simon's "America" is different from the one they recorded a year later or so with Wakeman. Also special is the rarely performed "Everydays". A good sample of what Yes was about back in the days when they were a real "progressive" band.

Sound quality is very good, for an audience and considering this is almost 37 years old. Enjoy.
