NoteThis is the famous Bradford, UK Yes show that supposedly
is the earliest known recording that contains an interesting version of S
outh Side Of The Sky. But what this show is also famous for is that it is
probably the worst Yes recording ever! Hence, I expect that only completists
will download this for their collection. I got a tape of this back around 1980
from a UK tape trader. He was able to supply me with an abundance of then rare
Yes and Wakeman shows from Europe. I finally decided to dig this gem out and
give it a listen after about 25 years. It is indeed horrible and so I set to
work trying to clean it up in any way I could. it was plagued with distortion
and horribly muffled. I spent a few hours monkeying around and finally got it
half-way listenable, but its still bad. Surprisingly, it sounds better at low
volume.

Forgotten Yesterdays website lists this as a 60 minute recording. I've never
seen one longer than this one here which is 48 minutes.

If anyone has a better version of this then please seed it!
