This concert has proven (through discovery) to have been recorded and could exist in a larger format somewhere!
a recording of Perpetual Change and a recording of Long Distance Runaround/The Fish from this date were included on the Fragile Super Deluxe Edition released in 2024. Currently it appears as though this was all that has been found.
CLARIFICATION!!
I don’t believe these are the same recordings as the ones used to make up Yessongs. (Perhaps bits and pieces of different sections were edited together, Yessongs was a heavily edited record and nobody seems to know for certain what went where, but I haven’t spent the time picking apart the recordings to truly be able to tell.)
My evidence for this is that the beginning of Perpetual Change is entirely different and the drum fills in Long Distance Runaround are slightly different. (The LDR on the Fragile SDE seems to fade in halfway through the second verse unfortunately.)

Ahh, my very first Yes concert at the long-defunct Academy of Music on 14th Street! I found a diary from 1972 I had been keeping, and in it I entered the following: "Blizzard, Yes concert! with Compost and Mark-Almond. Started at 1:00 am, Yes came on 3:30 and played 'til 5:05. Got home at 6:00." I remember that the blizzard that was forecast turned out to be not so bad, but it did delay the show significantly. (And there was also a lengthy delay between the 2nd act and Yes, which provoked impatient foot-stomping from an already antsy audience.) What struck me the most about Yes was their amazing ability to make their complex music sound in concert just like the studio versions. This was the last time I was to see them perform in a theater for many years, as the releases of Fragile and then Close to the Edge in that same year elevated them to arena status. (The next time I saw them was in November of that same year at the Nassau Coliseum in L.I., and I went on to see them as Yes, ABWH, and ARW another 27 times and still counting over the years.)
