YES
October 28, 1978, evening show
Wembley Arena, London, England, UK
Recorded by the BBC

King Biscuit Flower Hour 3 Reel Special (Pre-FM)

Lineage: Pre-FM Reels -> WAV -> xACT 1.56 -> FLAC

Received from WH as WAV files, I believe he also did the transfer. FLAC files by PH.

Often listed as "LA 1978" but it is definately from Wembley 28 Oct 1978

Track list:

01. Intro: Close Encounters Of The Third Kind (removed) 01:25
02. Siberian Khatru 10:08
03. Heart Of The Sunrise 11:05
04. Circus Of Heaven 04:47
05. Don't Kill The Whale (removed) 05:02
06. Clap 04:50
07. Starship Trooper 10:06
08. Madrigal/On The Silent Wings Of Freedom 10:22
09. I've Seen All Good People (removed) 07:21
10. Roundabout(removed) 08:40

Total running time: 73:48


On the FM broadcast version, Jon says "Welcome to Wembley...." and so on after Siberian Khatru. On this Pre-FM version it is apparently edited out.

(KBFH often lists this show as Los Angeles Forum 6 Oct 1978. The LA show might have been recorded for KBFH and then shelved due to technical
or performance problems. The possibility remains that Yes decided to use the 28 Oct BBC recording in place of the 6 Oct LA show.)
