Yes/CA,USA 3.10.1972

From the 1972 “Fragile” US tour with Rick Wakeman and Bill Bruford, a complete recording of the opening night performance at Winterland on March 10th, lasting approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes with high quality audience recording. It is recorded with a complete master direct that exceeds the previous edition released over 10 years ago, and is recorded with the longest and highest sound quality ever including Bill Graham’s intro at the beginning. The sound quality is very clear, and fans will be captivated by the percussive performance with a good sense of separation and groove in the first song, Roundabout, and the splendor of the sound image. The vocals are a little soft compared to the direct feel of the musical sounds, but the overall balance and sound pressure are perfect. Guitar, keyboard, and bass are also well captured, and in particular, the colorful and vivid performances of Rick’s typical synth, Mellotron, and Hammond, as well as Bill’s elaborate play that leads the whole thing with his unique drumming, are captured in the best sound. You can enjoy it. The crisp strength of the instruments and vocal parts is unique to this period, and with the addition of Rick, we have created an extremely excellent collection of the best samples from the period when they suddenly reached the peak of being the world’s best symphonic rock band. You can enjoy the sound. In the quiet parts, you can hear the hiss that is typical of analog tape, but the freshness and sound pressure of the sound are overwhelming, and you can enjoy a smooth performance with a clear sound image that never feels lacking. A recommended piece. In addition to band songs, Howe’s acoustic solo and Rick’s early keyboard solo are also included in high quality. , the solos before the melodies and structures that became standard for synths were established are very fresh, and the sound is good, so you can listen to them carefully. The moment when the sound is so dense and there is no cracking is when you feel that it is a great recording. The Long Distance Runaround, which is a huge explosion of Bill and Rick’s early charm, and the 12-minute long The Fish, where you can fully enjoy Bill’s and Chris’s innovative playing, are must-listen tracks. At this point, the sound becomes louder and more direct than the first half, and you can fully enjoy this attractive performance at the best sound level, just on the verge of cracking. You can also hear Bill’s drum solo in the second half of Perpetual Change. Yours Is No Disgrace, in which you can enjoy a passionate 13-minute performance by the band, is also included in its entirety until the end. On this day, Wild Turkey was the opening act and Black Sabbath was the opening act, and the innovative performances of each of the emerging British bands must have had a considerable impact on American audiences at the time. This year’s representative Yes live sound source is full of content, sound quality, and historical value. A must-listen album that eliminates all obstacles! ! Live at Winterland, San Francisco, CA.
