Recording notes:
"This was the end of the Progressive Tour (July - August) across the US. The previous night in Mountain View was the last shared bill with Styx; this night was Yes-only. The band filled out the setlist by adding Steve's acoustic solo, debuting Into The Storm, and adding Machine Messiah. Tempus Fugit began with Steve energetically jumping up and down to count out the start. The crowd was completely engaged throughout the show, which fed the band to give a great performance. Humphreys is a high stage with the speaker cabinets placed under the front of the stage rather than stacked on the sides. Sound levels in the third row were pretty high so there is not much in way of dynamics or stereo separation in this recording. This was my first night using the Mikey/iPhone combination that I was able to capture a full concert. A little capsule handling noise is present here and there.
This is definitely an audience recording. The audience was really into this show, a few times to the point of distraction as your can hear. For some reason Californians seem to have an urge to blurt out their feelings to complete strangers. When Benoit is introducing "And You And I" and mentions it is from 1972, the woman in front shouts "Class of '72!". I was afraid that she was going to describe her whole high school career in finite detail to everyone within six rows. As the majesty of the song unfolds, however, she quietens. All in all, the crowd was either up on their feet clapping along and whooping, or sitting and listening intently. They responded with sustained cheers for the encore. As the band mentions, a nice way to wrap the tour". (vin2010, Aug 18, 2011)

I put in "lowercase" as the password and it didn't work.
ReplyDeletei put in "lowercase" pass and it was denied.
ReplyDeletei realized the password was bootslive.blogspot.com but then I was redirected to the start of the bootslive website. What can I do?
ReplyDeletebuddy, the password is exactly the way you wrote above, in lowercase (the font with which we write the blog doesn't have lowercase option, that's why we emphasize its usage in lowercase in an image file, expecting not leave doubts, as well as the absence in the password of the www).
ReplyDeleteIf you downloaded the rar file linked in the "yes" logo, you've got to unpack it using the password and open a txt file called "LnK-Yes-2011-08-04-San Diego-FLAC-Bootslive.txt", In the text you will find the links to - this time - proceed to download the concert. I hope I have helped you. Any doubt drop us a line.
