Yes – Live At The Rainbow London, England 12/16/1972

Is BG in the dead wax???????????????????????? words words words words

4 stars because of the price and audio drop off. Heart of the Sunrise is my absolute favorite song and can’t get enough of the different recordings so it’s a no brainer for me to pick this up. However the Wakeman solo for me was a real treat! I have a poor quality audience recording of a different show with the jingle bells medley so it was a nice surprise on this higher quality recording. If I’m dropping $70 on a three disc I’d like a trifold too. Maybe not a release for everyone but a must for the hardcore fans

Bon. Si ce n’est pas sorti il y a 50 ans c’est qu’il devait y avoir de bonnes raisons.
Ce qui est inissible : la pochette et l’absence de notes de pochette.
Le son : pour une archive, c’est très bon. Oui il y a des trous d’air. Oui le clavier de Wakeman se balade. Oui cela sature parfois. Mais quelle énergie.
Rien que pour les versions de Close To The Edge et Roundabout. Un incontournable.

Anyone else get one with stitching throughout the entirety of side 2?

Is this all on 45 rpm? Thought the longest time fit on one side on 45 rpm is 16 minutes?

When I saw "Mastered by Bernie Grundman", I said to myself WOW! But there are a some audio drop outs, sometimes the guitar of Steve Howe is very far in the background, sometimes very prominent, the balance is varying as well. Either Bernie was lazy... or there was just too many things to correct and it was impossible to do better. Only for YES hardcore fans, I would. But since I am, I still apreciate the performance, and you will never hear elsewhere Close to the Edge played so fast! which is a real treat.

I was bummed about a lot of audio drop outs. Definitely not many shining moments of performances. But still a good collectible to have.

No sonic masterpiece here but a great capture of a very creative period for the band. Not a “go to” YES album for me but a nice vintage performance with my favorite YES lineup. Sound 6-10 Packaging 3-10

Sounds great but it’s unacceptable for a 3LP release to come in a single jacket
