Yes Going for the One Tour Parc des Expositions Colmar, France December 2, 1977
The date 7-7-7 marked the 30th anniversary of the release of Going For The One, reuniting the "Classic Yes Line-up," so I thought it would be fun to seed the shows I have in my collection on or near the dates of their 30th anniversaries.
This is a good but incomplete recording which starts near the end of "Close to the Edge." I downloaded this recording from Dimeadozen in early 2005 and have only listened to it now, in conjunction with the anniversary of the show.
I actually think this was someone else's remaster of the original recording. There are some changes in volume that sound like someone adjusting recording levels on the fly, perhaps when transferring the cassette to CD. There were some cuts and abrupt jumps in the applause around the encores, and the songs were not in the usual order on the downloaded recording. After checking Forgotten Yesterdays, I decided to put Roundabout and Yours Is No Disgrace in the usual order.
The speed of the downloaded recording was quite fast, and the pitch too high. Channels were not well balanced, and the EQ needed some boosting on the high and low ends. This raised the noise level, of course, and I dealt with it best I could (without NR!). There is also a gap in the final verse of Roundabout, which I filled by patching in the same bars from an earlier verse. With that done, it's now a good listening experience of Yes having fun in France!
Unfortunately, I can't give credit to the person who seeded these files as their name is not in the old torrent's original info file. Art is included from either the seeder or someone else who provided it when it was seeded in 2005.
I have just one more recording in the 30th Anniversary Series: Paris, 1977-12-06, the final show of the tour. It sounds fantastic! I will seed it Thursday, its anniversary date, and it's definitely one to get!
