My own Yes Live Compilation

[Faceintheplace]

I took my favorite bits from the Word is Live, Yes' official live albums and DVDs and weeds from my collection (and re-equed some tracks, I beefed up "We Can Fly From Here" and "Go Through This" and now they sound incredible) and made my own Yes live collection.

[Mostly Harmless]

Nice box set you have there!

[YesForSure.]

Besides the lack of tales material, thats a nice compilation. very well done.

[Faceintheplace]

Lack?

Ritual is in there from QPR '75. 27 minute version, and it includes a short bit of "The Remembering" before the first verse.

Also The Revealing Science off Keys to Ascension, so two full sides and short excerpt from side two. Pretty good, I think.

[YesForSure.]

Yeah, that's true. Once I get enough material to start my own compilation, i think round 70 discs would be good, to include all of the Tales boots and the other riff raff that came before and after it.

I made a Tales best of a while ago, I called it Tales Live Through Time;

The Revealing - NYC 1974
The Remembering - Sheffield 1973
The Ancient - Detroit 1974
Ritual - New Jersey 1976

[YesForSure.]

How did you burn these, by the way?
