YES – Long Beach, CA (06/23/75)

Yes
1975-06-23
Long Beach Arena
Long Beach, CA
30th Anniversary Remaster

Mike Millard recorded both the Los Angeles Forum (1975-06-21) and Long Beach Yes shows of 1975. For audio quality, this is the better of the two. The audio is much better to the two 1974 Tales shows, probably due to an upgrade of gear. You might think this was a soundboard recording, if you didn’t know better. As for the performance, Yes is hot, but there are some crackles and Jon’s voice is kind of ragged, as if the smog in Southern California was getting to him.

Art is not included with the torrent but I’m sure there is some floating around, and hopefully some friends will post theirs.

In 1975, Yes were:
Jon Anderson
Chris Squire
Steve Howe
Alan White
Patrick Moraz

Tracks:

Disk1
Firebird Suite
Sound Chaser
Close to the Edge
To Be Over
The Gates of Delirium

1st posted in 2009 with no sb aligning and no lineage or setlist info at all.
reseeded in 2020 with setlist, runtime and track times
and a flac > wav > flac (sb’s aligned) reconversion to remove the sbe’s.
unfortunately the 1st tape with about 45 minutes more of this concert has gone lost, but this is the remaining part after that, and sounds like it ends with the conclusion of the show.

band members as far as I can tell:

Waylon Jennings: vocals, guitar
Gordon _ :guitar, vocals, harmonica Kyle _ : keyboards

Notes: pretty good soundboard tape – could be the master or a dub from the master; the audience is distant and some instruments are isolated to one channel but all in all a nice and listenable recording.
Someone throws a rock at the stage but no one is harmed, and Waylon seems to be having a good time anyway.
