Tech NoteHere then finally is the final portion of this incredible evening. The hype about this show on ForgottenYesterdays.com is true... This show is to die for. I want to personally thank the following Dime members for help in reconstructing this tape: Five for supplying samples of another show for comparison The Toole Man for additional help As indicated in previous torrents, the Yes portion lay in two unrelated pieces. Although the music itself seemed to overlap, something was wrong with the performance in both. At first I wasn't even sure they were the same show. The problem ended up being that there was a master and a copy. The master was pitched 29 cents too slow, and the copy was pitched about twice that too fast. One of the properties of speeding up music is that the recording will sound better, up to a point. All the frequencies move up; the recording sounds crisper. So, the copy initially sounded better than the original. Once the speed was corrected on the original, it sounded almost as good as the copy. But, once the copy was corrected, the original was much better. I hope that makes sense, we are talking cents of change here, not semitones (100 cents = 1 semitone). SoundForge 6.0 was used for all processes. The 48 minutes here are I have of this show. The rumors are that they played for 90 minutes, but there don't appear to be any missing portions. An anti-alias filter was applied during speed correction (Google "Nyquist Frequency" if you are curious as to why). Multiple EQ passes were also used to bring out the finer details of the music. No noise reduction was used. Over 8 hours of work went into this torrent over the course of about five weeks, I hope you enjoy it. Yes played the "Fragile" portions of this show very close to the vest. It's much more of an extended album feast than present day shows are. The performance is *wonderful*, with some drug-related taper talk thrown into the mix.
