Remastered and restored by Mister E. Tweaker --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Info from John K. about the original recording: Recorded from about the fifth row on Rick's side with a Sony D-3 with the stock microphone. In analog it sounds quite nice as denon chrome tapes were used. The 24bit flac version is very large: about 3.5 gb. It is straight from the master tapes with azimuth adjusted. No EQ is applied and adding bass is recommended. Only 'Make It Easy' is cut due to tape flip and a bit of the beginning of Saving My Heart. Roundabout is a bit weird with phase as I didn't really know what I was doing and got caught up in the best, closest Yes performance that I had seen. Good memories and a better performance than the next night (the last of the tour). --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Info from Mister E. Tweaker: Additional info #1: The "Make It Easy (intro)" and the beginning part of "Owner Of A Lonely Heart" are patched with an alternate sourced recording, so there is a difference in audio quality. Additional info #2: There is some distortion and there are a few drop-outs in parts of the recording (most probably due to the recording circumstances, the recording equipment used and microphone level overload). Additional info #3: Mister E. Tweaker does not proclaim to be an expert in remastering or restoring (far from it), but did the best he could do with this recording. Images etc. used for the cover art were found on the internet. Fonts used: SF Intellivised Outline SF Intellivised Extended Kokila All audio files were tweaked using the Cool Edit Pro 2.1 Quickfilter with manual setting and 80% normalized. 17/187 17/375 11.5/750 8.5/1.5k 8.5/3k 10/65k 8/16k 10.5/48k The setting was slightly altered for the patched audio part. (light click/pop restoration was also done on the patched part) Audio levels were balanced (master gain 91/100). Adobe Audition was used to track the audio files. Cool Edit Pro was used to convert from Hi Res to CD Res. Audio files converted from wave to flac using Traders Little Helper. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 01 SPOKEN INTRODUCTION BY VENUE SPEAKER 02 OPENING: FIREBIRD SUITE 03 YOURS IS NO DISGRACE (Including HOWE/RABIN GUITAR SOLO BATTLE) 04 RHYTHM OF LOVE 05 SHOCK TO THE SYSTEM 06 HEART OF THE SUNRISE 07 THE CLAP/BEGINNINGS/THE CLAP (REPRISE) 08 (Cuts in} MAKE IT EASY (INTRO)/OWNER OF A LONELY HEART 09 AND YOU AND I 10 BRUFORD/WHITE DRUM DUET 11 CHANGES 12 I'VE SEEN ALL GOOD PEOPLE 13 SOLLY'S BEARD 14 (Fades in) SAVING MY HEART 15 WHITEFISH/SCHINDLERIA PRAEMATURA/AMAZING GRACE (With JON ANDERSON on VOCALS) 16 LIFT ME UP 17 RICK WAKEMAN SOLO (With TREVOR RABIN on GUITAR) 18 AWAKEN 19 STANDING (AND NO DOUBT SEATED) OVATION 20 ENCORE: ROUNDABOUT |
