-I have every reason to believe the recording is missing a few songs
-Amazing to hear such early recordings of Yes live, it's a shame there aren't many out there; Peter Banks was quite good live
-The quality is not perfect, but still decent, and you'll still be able to hear it well, and see it's one hell of a show!
-Huge problem with Jon's mic at Then, Bruford saves the day!
