Dennis, I just looked at the January 24, 1988 entry for this concert (the actual, rescheduled date) on this website. The audio for "Shoot High" & other songs is up there! Scroll down past the setlist & reviews to see. Check it out!

Hey Dennis, note that there was a vinyl 2-lp bootleg of this show, "Live at the Hollywood Sportatorium" that I bought when it first became available. (I think it later came out on a boot cd as well). Other than the Houston concert, which was professionally recorded for one of those syndicated fm radio broadcast (Westwood One "Superstars" series, I believe), and partially released on Yes' "The Word Is Live" 3-cd mini box set (2005?), this is the best sounding "The BIG Tour" 1987/88 recording I have. I've forgotten if the sound was sourced from the best VIDEO I have from the same tour. I haven't watched it in a few years, but you saw a great show. With some EQ adjustments, it's the closest thing I've seen & heard to being at one of the shows that tour (I went to 5 of them), with the audience present but not overwhelming the music. This "Shoot High, Aim Low", along with the Houston version, are my two go-to live versions of the song. If you can get ahold of this (it may be on YouTube, I'll have to check), you will (sort of) be able to re-experience the concert.
