Yes 1974-03-10 Cook Convention Center Memphis, TN

Date:    Sunday, March 10, 1974 (40 years and 2 days ago)
City:    Memphis TN > MAP
Venue:    Memphis Cook Convention Center (16,500 capacity)

Lineage: Relayerman's copy of the master tape (or the master tape itself, I'm not sure which) -> transfer/capture -> FLAC

Omissions: Folder 1, track "01 Track 1" and folder 3, track "03 Track 3" are captures of ambient sound in the convention center. Walter Carlos "Sonic Seasonings" album was playing on the sound system. These tracks have been omitted for copyright reasons.

Overall, this is a decent capture of a fairly frustrating show. The comments on Forgotten-Yesterdays.com from people who were at the show describe the oversold auditorium, the audience struggling with lack of seating, and the lights coming up frequently during the show. Apparently Jon Anderson didn't think much of the convention center, which he describes as an aircraft hangar.

The recording is unique in that it includes a foray backstage by the tapers, who talk to a drunken Eddie Offord and other members of the band. It's worth downloading for that reason alone.
