If only the best performances and best recordings coincided! What we
have here is one of the best performances of the GFTO tour. Wakeman is
in top form, and really up in the mix. Jon Anderson is in excellent
voice this night; he even makes “Going for the One” sound effortless.
Alan White is truly energized. Steve Howe gets lost a couple of times,
as does Jon once or twice, but Chris pulls them back on course. There
are a couple of flubs that bring you back to earth, but overall the
audience and band are in a rare groove.

The recording quality is good most of the time. There are a few spots
where the tape sounds especially worn, but the biggest problem is bass
distortion during some of the heaviest parts of the Yes repertoire. It’s
still listenable, and I enjoyed the show from beginning to end.
