Hello Kevin
you know when you listen to these recordings of early Yes what blows me away the most is to realize that in like three short years or four that they were making Tales not to mention Close to the Edge my all time favorite album. But it is worth listing to the dramatic way Yes was carry them self’s on stage and I can only tell you that when these albums were being recorded that I was only ten years old and watching the moon landing.I remember all I wanted for Christmas that year 1969 was Chicago Trans Authority and Blood Sweat and Tears however in that spring of 1970 my friend down the street had this record he wanted me to hear it was the Yes album with Steve Howe and I was so blown away with that album that I was a Yes fan for life. So as you have said so wonderful I might add these recordings are really the birth of what a Great Band that Yes was to become!
