Yes
1977 Going for the One Tour
Wembley Arena
London, England

The date 7-7-7 marked the 30th anniversary of the release of Going For The One, reuniting the "Classic Yes Line-up," so I thought it would be fun to seed the shows I have in my collection on or near the dates of their 30th anniversaries.

Audience recordings by Mick Dillingham and Steve Darton
Lineage: master tape (unknown gear) -> 24 bit/48 kHz WAV -> Sound Forge -> 16 bit/44.1 kHz WAV -> FLAC

Art created brilliantly by Jamie Lockhead
Tapes transferred professionally by Joey
Mastered eclectically by TheTooleMan, 2005

This collection is dedicated to the memory of my son, Danny Toole, who saw his first Yes concert at age 10, and afterward met Steve Howe and shook hands with Jon Anderson. Danny passed away on October 21 at the age of 20, as the result of an accidental fall. He touched many lives with his brilliance during his short time on Earth. His true potential was only beginning to be realized. Danny forever enriched the lives of his mother, his brother Eric, and me. He will remain in our hearts forever.

NOTE: the front jewel case art, when properly arranged, creates a large-scale work.

This is obviously only the first 68+ minutes of this show.
So the next obvious questions is....does anyone have the rest??
And does any one have a "non-bootleg" source??

This one is dedicated to "Gromek" & "Lestat" for the past amazing work they did on my "Chord Of Life" LP
Feel free to do your magic again!

I will let the artist & their music speak for themsleves.

Comments from YOU, the listener will be much more interesting.

ENJOY THE MUSIC!

Contrast clause: this is THE ULTIMATE REMASTER!!!

The date 7-7-7 marked the 30th anniversary of the release of Going For The One, reuniting the "Classic Yes Line-up," so I thought it would be fun to seed the shows I have in my collection on or near the dates of their 30th anniversaries. And now we've arrived at the end of the tour, partying with Yes in the City of Light!

Lineage: audience -> audio cd -> Sound Forge -> FLAC

This recording is nothing short of EXCELLENT! There are nuances in the music that you cannot hear in lesser-quality recordings. Synthesizer patches and guitar effects are awesomely clear. You can even appreciate the flanging effect on the voices singing the "counter-lyrics" in "And You And I" (you know, "Coins and crosses..."). This kind of quality is rare in a 30-year-old tape.

I received this recording in a trade in 2002. It may not be the same version that Highland released, and which Lestat used for his recent remaster. From his description of the audio quality of the Highland recording, this is apparently much better!

Relayerman provided a lot of detail about what he did to enhance the recording of the first night in Paris. Since I did some of the audio work on this recording in 2002, I don't have the same detailed records of everything that was done. The original recording ran slow, so the pitch was flat. I corrected the pitch and balanced the stereo channels, each of which had somewhat different frequency response. Before I was all done, I applied Sonic Foundry (now Sony) Acoustic Mirror, which gives the recording a wider stereo field.

There is a patch in the last 90 seconds of Awaken which I think was in the original recording I received in trade. It's not bad, and it's probably from another average quality recording of the same performance. Relayerman says he has two versions of this show, but I have not confirmed with him whether both have this patch. I worked with the pitch and EQ of the patch to help it blend with the rest of the recording.

Overall, this is one of the most satisfying remastering projects I've undertaken, mostly thanks to the quality of the original recording. If I had deliberately saved the best for last, I still would have chosen this recording and this show.

Anyone who loves music of this vintage knows about Donovan. And above all, any fan of Yes knows about the 1977 tour, where for about six months Donovan was the opening act.
For Yes completists who will download this no matter what the quality is just to have the opening act and main act together, in a short way: good news, this is Donovan's almost complete set during his stay at the Cobo Arena in Detroit as the opening act for Yes (you can find the Yes recording here: http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=578402).
For those who are not completists, the long story:
Donovan is one of those artists who, with his music, can touch your soul and not only speaking in a metaphorical term but also in a literal term.
I, although I am not a big fan of his music (as being really into his albums), I have heard enough to know that he had (and still has) a very simplistic yet beautiful essence.
With the aforementioned, I also have to say that I really appreciate the true beauty of the acoustic artists and Donovan (at least in this particular recording) was something special.
His melodies are magic to say the least, the chords, the peace that his songs give to you is something that cannot be talked about, it is something that you must feel. While the set starts with some very strong gems like "Cosmic Wheels" and "Brave New World", it also shows us songs like "Lady of the Stars" and "The Hurdy Gurdy Man" that have their own beauty with their own simplicity.
This recording is solid, really good for the time, Donovan is one of those artists with a high regard in the quality of his performances and I assure you this recording won't disappoint you. Samples provided.
But, even if I said earlier that the recording is solid, it is not free of those little details. For example, the start of the recording (and other parts, too) had very low volume levels compared to the rest of the set, so I raised the volume of the affected parts and made everything sound on the same level. Each part was individually repaired, i did not use general normalization.
Another detail that must be said is that between "Mellow Yellow" and "Atlantis" there is a cut which, as noted in the setlist, I had to do a fade in and out.
And to increase the "mystery" of this recording, the above cut suggests three possibilities:

1) To save tape and batteries, the taper paused the recorder during the encore break
or
2) A song was lost
or
3) Jared the taper had to use the restroom

When the recording starts again after that cut you can listen to Donovan saying "Thank you, thank you,” and one can only guess if he is thanking the reception his is given after returning to the stage or if he is thanking the reaction after a song.
Given all that, this set is enjoyable to say the least. An incredible sound, a set of beautiful songs and Donovan at his best.

Thanks to the late great Jared Houser for recording this show in the first place 40 years ago. If you’d like to learn more about Jared, spend 13 minutes watching this short video tribute to him:
