Just a heads up Hahah. I love uploading and it will hardly stop happening, but it won't be as frequent as when I started off -Anyways, back to the show! Hello old friends! A lot has changed! I hear King Jong-Un wants his fellow communists to adopt his ''decidedly retro high-and-tight 'do''. Have you cut your hair already? -This was me stoned. At 1974 Yes decided to tour up their new record which, if I were alive at the time, would have NEVER thought it would become a hit. I mean, over 120 minutes divided in 4 songs? Sounds unreal, but I suppose people were high enough to enjoy it, and, let's face it, the songs were incredibly well done, despite repeating patterns and melodies, still, fucking awesome. Live, they would perform the ''Musical summoning of a Hindu God'' (That's my definition) at its entirely (Until the mid-end of the tour, when everyone, including the band, except Jon, got sick of it, playing usually two or three ''only''). -Frankfurt '74 is still my second upload from this superb tour, and I say, it's even better then my previous upload (I believe it was Zurich '74)! Despite the TFTO album being necessarily performed, it was done very well, with, as usual, every song sounding just like they did inside the studio. The Ancient on this one is actually pretty good, just like Revealing Science Of God (Managed to perform the bass bits while listening to this one, hurray!). Ritual, deserving of a mention, however, is absolutely FLAWLESS, my favourite version ever! (Until I find one better) -Before the Tales part starts they play, of course, the entire CTTE, more known to the audience's years, and better too (In my opinion). And You And I and Siberian Khatru are both magical, with some beautiful lines and rhythms (Who could beat Alan at this moment?), plus, Close to the Edge is, just like Ritual, fantastic, a demostration of a perfect harmony between a band; Magical show, enjoy!
