It’s also fascinating to compare this recording to their corresponding tracks on KTA and KTA2 and see how much was cleaned up after the fact (not just flubs but backing vocals as well, which I always thought sounded stellar on the released versions… now we know why!).

As great as this recording is, the release from the following night, YES MEETING 1996 on the Dancin’ Disc label, is to be avoided at all costs. Horrible, almost unlistenable recording.

Also, it’s too bad the KTA DVD is so poorly done (poorly synced footage mostly interrupted by horrific visuals), as I would love to have seen this performance in all its glory.
