Boston Gardens Boston, MA 26-Feb-1974 Source: newly discovered (2003) alternate recording Transferred by: jb and mp Mastered by: smt, January 2004 Art: smt Lineage: audio tape > audio CD > SHN > Sound Forge > FLAC A complete recording of this show has been around for years, but this better-sounding alternate recording was discovered only in late 2003. It is a fuller-sounding recording than the more common one, but has two gaps - one in The Revealing Science of God (disk 1 track 5), and another in Ritual (disk 2 track 3). I patched both missing parts with the common recording, carefully adjusting itch, EQ, and channel balance to make the different source unobtrusive. Sound Forge Acoustic Mirror was used to give a wider spatial effect than the pure mono source recording. Yes plays with a full head of steam on this night. Anticipation grows during the Firebird Suite, and Siberian Khatru blasts forward almost uncontrollably. Judging from what Jon Anderson later says, the concert must have started late, and he asks people to stay and listen to the "new album." |
