Yes/PA, USA 1974 Afternoon Show

In 1974, at the beginning of the US tour accompanying “Story of Marine Geomorphology”, the afternoon performance of the two daytime and evening shows held at Spectrum Arena in Philadelphia was held on February 16th, complete with high-quality audience recording. Recorded. At this time, Yes was on tour, reproducing all the songs “Kirishi” and “Ocean Topography,” but this day’s show was shorter than usual, perhaps because it was an early show, and from “Ocean Topography,” You can listen to a rare short set concert in which only “Mystery” and “Ritual” are played, “Remembrance” and “Ancient Civilization” are not played, and Yours Is No Disgrace, which is not played that much, is played as an encore. (It’s still a nearly 2-hour concert.) The sound quality is like that of an antique, with a slight distance between the sounds and a lack of separation, but the sound itself is stable and you can hear all the virtuosity of the guitar. Masu. Rick’s keyboard etc. can also be heard clearly. The freshness of the sound is good, so I think it must have sounded like this from the master. “Mystery” and “Ritual” are well recorded. As it is a sound source from a historically important period, it is well worth adding to your collection. Live at Spectrum Arena, Philadelphia, USA 16th February 1974(Afternoon show) Disc 1 1.
