Although there are several great soundboards from this tour including London 10-28-78, Qubec 4-18-79, and Chicago 6-9-79, this performance and the excellent quality of this audience recording stand out to me. In particular, I must have 60 different versions of Siberian Khatru, but Howe's solo at the end on this evening really shines. There's just a pure sound to the band during this period of touring that comes through in this recording. I can't explain beyond these points that I really like this particular show. The credit for this recording goes to someone in YES trading circles (my apologies at not remembering)
who put together this fine tree, including the 10-6-78 show, several years ago. This is not a soundboard, but it rates as a strong audience recording, A- sound. Lineage below.
