YES featuring ARW 2017-04-18 Orchard Hall, Tokyo, Japan


Band:     YES featuring Jon Anderson Trevor Rabin Rick Wakeman
Title:     50th Anniversary - Live in Japan 2017
Venue:     Recorded live @ Orchard Hall, Tokyo, Japan
Date:     18 April 2017
Source:    Xavel Silver Masterpiece Series - SMS 121
Notes:     EX+ Aud sources, plus multiple EX+ IEM sources

Lineage: Original pressed CDs -> FLAC (Xact) -> You

Well this is a close as anyone will get to a SBD show without it actually being one.  This show is from the fantastic Xavel label. The show uses an EX+ audience source for ambience coupled with several IEM sources to create a perfect matrix recording that sounds better than some official live releases.

So, until Live at the Apollo arrives (at least in audio), this is as close as you're going to get to a perfect sounding show.

Original front cover scan is attached as well as another version that I based off of the forthcoming "Live at the Apollo."

Enjoy!
