Yes 1973-04-21 - A Pair Of Blackjacks

 

After seeing Yes for the first time in October of 1972 I just couldn't get enough of the band. What I'm presenting here are the first 2 bootleg LPs I bought back in 1973. I have taken the LPs and cleaned them up and transferred them to CD then to these FLAC files. Both shows will fit on one CD, but you can do what you like.

Yes
Amsterdam, Netherlands
Jan. 21, 1972

1.01 Your Move (7.35)
1.02 I've Seen All Good People (9.37)
1.03 Heart Of The Sunrise (7.30)
1.04 Rick Wakeman Solo (3.12)
1.05 Long Distance Runaround (4.38)
1.06 Yours Is No Disgrace (7.55)

Lineup: Jon Anderson, Chris Squire, Steve Howe, Rick Wakeman, Bill Bruford

This was the 2nd bootleg LP I ever bought, but this version here is the best of 3 that I own of this same show, interestingly enough. 
'On Tour' - mono, ok sound
'Live In Amsterdam' - slightly distorted
'The White Yes Album' - stereo (this is the version presented here)
All three versions present the same show with a few minor variances such as when the LP starts and ends. Some of the songs are edited, presumably because of vinyl space (shame) and all versions contain the same edits.

Yes
Tampa, Florida
April 21, 1973

1.07 Close To The Edge (18.00)
1.08 Roundabout (8.54)
1.09 Starship Trooper (12.07)

Lineup: Jon Anderson, Chris Squire, Steve Howe, Rick Wakeman, Alan White

This is the first bootleg LP I ever bought and was titled 'Yes...Indeed'. I know of no known complete recording of this show and that's a shame as well as the recording was very good.

Enjoy!
