YES - Boston, MA, USA. 18 June 1976 ["B76", a.k.a. "Boston Steam Bath"]

Format: Audience recording ["AR"]

Venue: Boston Garden [capacity +/- 15,000]

Source: Original taper sadly unknown, but clearly professional. There may be one tape generation and the original CD transfer between them and my very trusted, highly professional source. Whatever the unknowns, let us all thank this individual feverishly for his generosity in sharing a real candidate for 'holy grail of Yesdom' status

Lineage: Original master tapes of the highest caliber for 1976 > possibly a very high quality first generation tape copy > CDR [transfer equipment and protocol unknown but obviously professional] > EAC > CEP 2.0 > Ray Gun 3.0 > FLAC Frontend > Bit Torrent to Dime

Lineup: Vocals - Jon Anderson, Keyboards - Patrick Moraz, Guitars - Steve Howe, Bass Guitars - Chris Squire, Percussion - Alan White

Setlist Vol. 1: 01Siberian Khatru, 02Sound Chaser, 03All Good People, 04The Gates of Delirium, 05Long Distance Runaround, 06Patrick Moraz Solo, 07Steve Howe Solo, 08Jon Anderson Solo [harp, accompanied], Heart of the Sunrise

Setlist Vol. 2: 01Ritual-First Movement, 02Ritual-Second Movement* [includes Chris Squire and Alan White Solos], 03Roundabout, 04I'm Down [Beatles cover]
*Suffers the entire AR's only break - roughly 15 seconds and likely due to a cassette change by taper.

This is a great performance and a pretty good sounding tape - and not a show I've seen posted before. Thanks Dr. You keep me downloading. :-)
