    in the age of internet its amazing what you can learn
    My brain is already full.
    Sometimes the lights all shining on me, other times I can barely see.
    Lately it occurs to me what a long strange trip it’s been.

      I'm surprised there haven't been more unofficial live releases, particularly from radio broadcasts, as well as official live stuff from whichever archive collection. Loads of Zappa FM broadcasts released, Grateful Dead, CSN (+Y), Deep Purple, et al., many of which I've bought on CD straight away.
      I should emphasise by 'release' I mean physical media, CDs, not downloads.
      ​​​There must have been a lot of FM broadcasts in US cities in the 70s? Not to mention the 1998 tour, Ladder Tour, Masterworks?
      Apart from the Union box, I've bought all the live Yes CD releases issued so far.
      Even if a live recording made for FM broadcast isn't owned by the band, would they be able to block its release? There seem to be a number of labels that deal solely in these kind of releases, maybe buying them from radio stations, I don't know how it works.
      There are / were. See

      and page down a bit to see ‘Statistics’ on the left. Many unofficial radio / soundboard / pro-shot audio & video recordings you can download for free.
      (these shows were formerly on Remy’s site Yessongs.nl, donated by tapers & traders, yours truly among them).
      Physical media of these shows would be made yourself, or arrange a trade with someone.
      You should never pay for unofficial releases. No one except the thieves and Amazon make money from those (side bar - it amazes me that Amazon can sell bootlegs with impunity. Where are the Music Industry lawyers?)
      Only exception I would make for myself is I wanted a particular artifact, like those LPs discussed on another thread.
      Even so, the same data, often in much better sound quality, with correct song titles, notes on the performance and the source, are available for free from other fans.

          The music industry management representatives (rather than lawyers -- lawyers are expensive) do regularly contact Amazon to get these things taken down. But it's a game of whack-a-mole and Amazon hardly prioritise preventative action and suffer no cost from their slowness and laxness.

            I'm well acquainted with Forgotten Yesterdays and the Dutch YesSongs site. I don't have the means of creating my own physical copies of bootlegs I download, and I've downloaded quite a number over the years, that I used to listen to on my phone while walking to and from work. Unfortunately I'm no longer working, having been made redundant in the summer.
            I've bought the Ohio Runaround and Veteran's Memorial CDs from Amazon, as well as Live at Glastonbury, and happily I'm not consumed with guilt for having done so.
            I've got around 40 Yes bootlegs on CD that I bought from a fellow fan around 20 years ago, again quite guilt-free.
            Having spent god only knows how much over the last nearly-50 years, buying the albums, rebuying the albums, and buying them yet again in several physical media formats, not to mention concert tickets, over-priced t-shirts and tour programmes, DVDs, and then BluRays, and assorted other merchandise, I've no compunction whatever at purchasing whatever archive live recordings become available from whichever retailer.

              I think the Paris sessions have the most potential.

              Richard, The Golden Age, In The Tower and You Can Be Saved I would very much like to hear in ‘proper’ remade verisons..

              Since none of these songs are particularly heavy rocking, I can imagine Jon Davison doing them justice.
