A year or two ago, I was lucky enough to come in contact with a new friend from Texas named Craig. He had taped a couple interesting
shows in Houston which had never been traded before. They were Gentle Giant in October 1972, and Yes in July 1972. He agreed
to send me copies and granted me permission to share them with other collectors. I uploaded them here on dime and quite a few
of you grabbed them.

It turns out Yes returned to Houston again in April 1973 and Craig taped that show as well. Like the earlier two recordings,
this one has never been shared before. Well, I'm finally getting around to correcting that.

Many thanks are due to Craig for providing all three of these great performances!

The Spring 1973 US tour was Yes' last leg of touring in support of their tremendous Close To the Edge album. Later in the
year, they would release Tales From Topographic Oceans. Unfortunately, this recording is not quite complete. The ending of Clap
is missing, as is at least the first two thirds of And You And I (tape flip perhaps?) The strangest thing is, according to a
newspaper review of this gig I once read, the band played Yours Is No Disgrace as one of two encores. Starship Trooper is here,
but Disgrace is not. If you listen to the last couple seconds of Starship, you'll hear that something weird happens. Maybe
they're starting another song? It's hard to tell. Whatever the case, Disgrace does not appear on this tape.

What we DO have sounds decent enough for a 1973 tape. There are droupouts and volume inconsistencies, and when And You And I
comes in, the recording is a bit garbled for a minute or so. Still, most of the show is quite enjoyable. I'll add a couple mp3
samples so you can decide for yourself. I did nothing to the original files except add track markers.
