ABWH Anderson,Bruford,Wakeman,Howe/NY,USA 1990

On March 23, 1990, the final day of ABWH’s world tour, the performance at Madison Square Garden in New York was recorded completely uncut with an astonishingly high-quality audience recording. The ideal sound image from high to low tones is recorded with an incredible level of exceptional sound that is worthy of the word “ultimate”. The musical tones and vocals are surprisingly clear and direct, and if you listen to the part where you can’t hear the audience’s voices, you will mistake it for a soundboard recording. Nevertheless, it is an item that allows you to feel the sufficient sound spread and the dynamism and realism unique to audience recording, and is definitely a must-have sound source for all Yes sound source collectors. In addition, since it was the final performance in New York, the members’ enthusiasm was considerable, and at this time, the band ensemble had reached the height of maturity due to the long tour, and the advanced performance is a perfect listening experience from start to finish. At the end, the small piece Sweet Dreams produces a beautiful end to the show. Disc 1/1. Young Persons Guide To The Orchestra 2. Time And A Word/Owner Of A Lonely Heart/Teakbois 3. Clap 4.
