REMASTER SUMMARY: All work done at the 48/24 resolution, before
downsampling. EQ work to reveal detail, as the audience heard and felt
it. At least one very annoying local audience whistler has amplitude
reduced by 1 dB at various points where no Yes signal occurs, but
otherwise no attempts to alter band-crowd-venue sound balance. If
crowd sound as real and detailed as band sound isn't desired, please
pass this by and stick to soundboards or industry releases.
No compression. Conservative noise reduction applied to compensate for
unfavorable signal to noise ratio during quieter band moments and to
further reveal midrange frequency detail, but some hiss has to be
tolerated to avoid signal damage. Pitch- tempo was approximately 1%
off, now corrected.
CONTRAST: Previously circulated as a "Highland" profit boot factory
affair, made from a 2nd or more generation tape dub and a sonic
mudslide. In B77 you have the original master tapes, transferred at
48/24 resolution, and carefully remastered with deep Yes familiarity.
