This was probably one of the first couple dozen Yes snail-mail trades I acquired, because early on I made a point of finding copies of all Yes shows I attended. I was at this gig, but hadn't started taping shows myself yet. Listening back to this, it wasn't a shocker that I'd had it untouched in storage so long. It is by no means a high quality recording. It sounds like a fair audience recording made at some distance from the stage and PAs, and with some generation loss. Good performance, though. *A quarter of the way through "America" the sound drops out on the recording. I believe this was result of some kind of tape degredation or transfer process; I do not believe there was a problem with the source recording (you can still hear the band playing the song as if nothing extraordinary occurred). I adjusted the volume with Nero Wave Editor to bring the drop-out back up a bit, then applied mild noise reduction to eliminate some hiss, but it will still be evident when listening that the recording was compromised somehow. The Clap fades halfway through and, on the source recording, fades into Mood for a Day (already in progress). I can only speculate that, if this was a cassette recording, a tape flip occurred. Not sure why else an otherwise good-sounding recording of a Steve Howe solo bit would be chopped in half. I used CD Wave Editor to separate the tracks between the fade points. At the beginning of the recording you hear Taper Guy 1 tell his buddy, Taper Guy 2, something like "It's recording...just hit the adjust for levels." I don't recall a portable cassette tape recorder in the late 90s that allowed for recording levels to be adjusted. That's a more common feature on DATs, no? |
