Yes/US Tour 1979 Rare Archives

This title compiles rare recordings from the 1979 “Thomato” US tour, covering three shows that have rarely been available. The album covers the entire concerts, from April 9 in Minnesota and Kalamazoo, May 6 in Washington and Spokane, and June 1 in Austin, Texas, and lasts for over two hours. The band changed the setlist frequently during the tour, and the April concert included songs that were not on the previous UK tour, such as “Love for the Whales,” “Madrigal,” and “Wings of Freedom.” Another feature of the May concert in Spokane is that the number of songs from “Thomato” was reduced, and “Comrades” was played instead. The entire concert was recorded on cassette with a mono audience, so there are changes over time, but all of the recordings are very rare. Disc 1 : 1. Close Encounters Of The Third Kind 2.
