bought this album, as an import, for big $ back in the 70's.. had to special order it..
but, it is a collectible now.
http://youtu.be/Yl8RbU1hXuQlive, after the album was produced..
http://youtu.be/iqaa9qwpmSAYES 1977 and 1978... saw them many times, i think the first was at Akron Rubber bowl, maybe 6 years before this concert, it was awesome also... close to the edge tour..
the Eagles opened for Yes... One song, "peaceful easy feeling" , and off... but I think they played more than that.., they were jammin
imagine that.. wowweek prior was J Geils, and Alice Cooper... man we saw good schtuff 2 weeks before that was Humble Pie and Black Sabbath...
week before that was Stevie Wonder... and.... The Rolling Stones... oh yeah, there was a big meeeleee onstage, and a mini riot, but man... it wasn't Altamont...
saw 'em (Yes) at the community college like 5 miles from my house, also that year.. like 4,000 people small hall.. in the gymnasium...seriously....with some country band opening for them.. omg
and also at Kent State, again in a Gym...
man, 1972 was an awesome year for concerts...
saw Yes twice in Cleveland and once in Akron in '71
anyway
Yes Coliseum show ( also the year before, same venue) was explosive, major stage production, sorry they didn't have vid back then...
drove down, got stoned, and watched this concert, while it was being recorded on my home 8 track recorder set on a timer...
man, never thought I'd find it on the utube... now I have 2 versions, one I recorded,( I think it was better than this one soundwise... much better highs) and one someone else did... WMMS the home of the Buzzard.. bwaaaa haaaa ( google that one) but if you do,
pay no attention to the demise of the station, Cleveland is still the HOME OF ROCK AND ROLL
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WMMShttp://youtu.be/65adMNJW1oEin my opinion, this is one of the best long recordings of this band.
but I might be crazy, i think the first half has poor sound quality, but the second half seemed to have someone trim the e/q board a bit, and its better..
