I am a YES fan follower and an unconditional collector but this is the never ending story, remaster of remaster of remaster and the same extras, which have already been published in other collections of YES. It is a good collector’s item, but $ 500 is a lot of money for more of the same. I believe that millions of YES fans would appreciate much more if once and for all, they decide to edit videos and live concerts from its files for the 70´s of Topographic tour or Solo 76 tour for example, as they have other bands such as Supertramp, or Genesis
The Moody Blues have released a 17 disc box set called Timeless Flight, including 3 DVDs. I saw Yes and The Moodies one week apart in Grand Prairie, Texas. The box set was listed for $199.99
(yawn…)
God forbid they actually release what we really want!? ….like live recordings of the Academy of Music, New York City, March 1972 shows, with Bill Bruford. We known they recorded these shows. Long Distance Runaround —–> The Fish, and Perpetual Change on YESSONGS were the only tracks with Bruford and were said to have been recorded from these shows, and if that is not the case then it has to be form the Spring of 1972. They were in the studio during the summer recording Close To The Edge. Then Bruford splits, enter Alan White and they tour in the fall. Where are the rest of the tapes from those performances? How about 1970 and early 1971 with Tony Kaye?
How could Jon have been so dumb as to have recorded almost NOTHING during the bands first five years?? I have three thousand hours of Dead tapes because they recorded nearly everything all the way back to their inception. I’m a huge Bill Bruford fan and I would kill for tapes of South Side Of The Sky from March of 1972. Even with Alan White, who I was never very happy with, …how about an entire Tales live from February/March 1972? I have a few decent audience tapes from 1971 to 1975. How about some nice crisp soundboards? Did not Genesis release an entire live Lamb? Even before they did there were two very decent soundboard tapes going around. ….but YES? Still waiting, hoping, now I’m 55, how much longer do I have to wait?
What a waste. Very frustrating being a YES fan, always was.
I am 1000% with you Mark… I find it impossible to believe there is no Tales show available….I also am a Bruford fan…and crave the early stuff
Back in the late seventies I got a copy of the Cobo Hall show from February 74, it was a complete show. a bit hissy as I have no idea regarding the pedigree, genealogy, equipment used to record it, etc. it was pretty good. A few years later I came across a complete tales from Madison Square Garden,…just the Tales segment. In all these years…..that’s it! Two audience tapes of unknown lineage. Still have those cassettes somewhere. Have not heard them in years.
I also have a decent audience recording from San Bernadino in 1972. There are a few others prior to 1975. But not much has surfaced in years and years.
I used to be the biggest YES fan in high school. First saw them at Nassau Coliseum 6/16/76 and the next night at Roosevelt Stadium. Saw all three shows at Madison Square Garden in August 1977. By the time 1978 rolled around, YES was starting to turn into a kiddy show with Circus Of Heaven and Don’t Kill The Whale. Then 1979 was just a continuation of 1978. When The Buggles came out in 1980, that was it for me. I was done with them. I walked out of the Buggles shows at Madison Square Garden. What a joke.
through the years I’ve acquired quite a few Yes bootlegs from pretty much all the tours, some of them are great. Was always hoping for a good sounding official Tales show. I do have the MSG and Cobo Hall Tales . My first Yes show was the day after Cobo at Hershey Arena in 74 (a short set). Of coarse Cobo was filmed by a company, but the story goes it was lost or burned in a fire. but did they fail to record at least the audio from any other show.. unbelievable. Seen them is 75 at the Spectrum and 79 at MGG which was great… missed the 76 tour due to traveling (always wanted to see the 76 stage show, how could they not have filmed that. Then of coarse in 80 we laughed all the way through the show.
Correction to my last post: I was referring to the February/March 1974 Tales From Tioographic Oceans shows……not 1972. That was a typo, sorry……
Love the latest album, when will you release a new DVD with the new band format,
Just found out that Steve Wilson of Porcupine Tree just remastered Close To The Edge. He, in recent years, has remastered the first two ELP albums, Jethro Tulls Aqualung and all the King Crimson albums.
I am a Porcupine Tree/Blackfield/Steve Wilson solo band fanatic.
While all you turkeys are running to see Yes without Jon Anderson (ROFL) I would not miss anything Steve Wilson is involved in…..and that includes picking up his remaster of CTTE.
On the 6th May 1971 at the Chatham Central Hall i became a Yes fan, the summer of 2008 changed that, I still listen to the albums and watch the DVD’s of concerts, a couple of which I was lucky enough to attend, I have books have kept all my ticket stubs and have even purchased some of Roger Deans art work.
But this High Vibration is too much, enough is enough, I have already replaced my old cd’s with digitally remastered and DVD formats, but as i said, enough is enough, whoever is making these decisions, STOP!
Saw Jon Anderson in South End just after his illness and he was still not a well man, then went to see him with Rick Wakeman, they were great, then recently saw Jon at Under the Bridge, Chelsea, “outstanding” Jon was on top form, Jon is the voice of Yes, nobody would expect The Rolling Stones to be the same if Mick was to leave or The Who without Roger, as I said Jon is the voice of Yes.
I bought the new album Fly from Here and after 6 or 7 plays, still not impressed, so here is one fan who will stay in the JA camp.
Why the BBC have never released an edition of the Wembley 78 concert defies belief. Still my favourite bootleg though I did have a 74/75 tour tape that had a stunning Trooper on it (now long gone).
Surely the live format is the way to go to extract that last pound (1/2 kilo) of flesh from the dedicated fan. A live cd from every tour would be a winner (especially in a box set with programmes etc)
Hi. I have a tour poster of yes at chatham central hall (Ticket price 60p). I’ve had it for many years but can’t for the life of me remember where I got it from. I have been trying to tie down the gig date and have found that they played twice in 1971. The support was one Jonathon Swift, just wondered if you can remember who the support was on 6 may. I am more than with you on ending my support on the sacking of MR Anderson.
Hi Gary, support on 6th May 71 was the Mick Abraham Band, unfortunately for them i don’t have any recollection of them.
Second time at Chatham in 71 was 25th October.
Thanks for that. It must be the October date then. Its obviously pre logo days, the design is sort of twenties art deco figures and buildings. The odd thing is that at the top it says ‘Chrysalis proudly presents…’, guess they used to do tour promotion.
I saw my first gig at the central hall, Mud, about 1974/75. Last gig there was Iron Maiden in 1980.
