Yes 1974-12-01 - Yes Is Coming! - Baton Rouge (Relayerman)

Here is another in my Crappy Masters series. I had a seat to this show in the nose-bleed section on the far right of the stage, an awful position. I opted to take my chances and find an empty seat at least in front of the stage, maybe on the first tier risers. Using my cheapo mono cassette recorder I recorded the whole show. The sound is about C quality, but the crowd noise is not even noticable; then again neither are the acoustics! As you will hear during the quiet moments of Soundchaser I got busted for sitting in someone else's seat and I try to worm my way out of it ( I had a ticket, but just not for that seat). I had to abandon the seat, but it was on the aisle so I sat in the aisle next to the seat after the usher left (what were those people thinking about arriving late for a Yes concert anyway?). The usher never came back, thank goodness.
