YesSongs 2.1: an upgrade to YesSongs 2, celebrating the 35th anniversary of this concert.

Source: low-gen audience recording seeded by Glasnostrd19 on Dimeadozen -> Sound Forge and Vegas -> FLAC

Dedicated to Jon Anderson and Chris Squire, the founding members of Yes, who are both ailing and off the road as of this writing.

This copy of the recording has an incredible crispness not found in the other copies I've owned. (To think I've been mastering copies of this recording for over 10 years now. The first was a cassette copy of the vinyl LP "The Affirmatives," which ran too fast and had a fade-out of the end of "The Remembering." I plugged the cassette player into a light socket connected to a dimmer and got it close to the right speed.)

Thanks to Mr. Glasnostrd19 for the great tape.

Unfortunately, this one isn't perfect, either, but we're getting there.

Have some tea, and enjoy.
