Description
Completely recorded October 24, 1989 Birmingham NEC performance with ultra-high quality stereo sound board recording. Considering their active period, ABWH has produced a large number of high-quality sound sources, including excellent audience recordings, but this album is a special stereo line recording, so it is definitely a must-listen for fans. The set is familiar, but it is irresistible to listen to the transcendental performance of Tony Levin and Bill Bruford’s exciting rhythm section with this sound. The way Simmons’ drums, typical of this period, fly left and right in stereo is a masterpiece. The rough transitions between songs on the original tape were also completely corrected. Only the opening Time And A Word has audio deterioration due to the master, but after that you can enjoy the entire concert with the highest sound quality without any problems. The Long Distance Runaround where Bill’s drums appear coolly and the drum solo that follows are the must-listen parts of the first half. Listen to Tony’s uniquely aggressive bass play with an excellent sense of time, which is connected to the 4-minute bass-drum play in Themes at the beginning of disc 2, and the ultimate band ensemble in the 7-time signature part with lots of rim shots at the end. It’s one of the places. In the drum and bass duet part where you can enjoy a one-of-a-kind rhythm combination, Tony’s vivid and ever-changing bass play is spectacular! The vibrato gives off a unique undulation (the way the beat is captured is exquisite), the expressive power of the 3rd and 4th strings, the beauty of the pull and voicing that makes full use of the octave sound in the shuffle section at the end, etc. are exciting. The play continues. I can’t resist the flexible rhythm work that mainly uses the odd-numbered beats that are unique to Bill! Close To The Edge is definitely a must-listen for fans as it has an original sound image that feels like listening to a monitor mix. ABWH’s highest quality record, whose unique sound image and unique personality have made a strong impact in the long history of Yes. This is a special piece! !
