Notes: Originally released as part of The Lost Tapes box set and due to be released separately; see The Lost Tapes for more details. This 'official bootleg' captures Jon Anderson's first solo tour, in support of his Song of Seven album. The Yes material (tracks 4-14 and 31-41) takes the form of a large medley. (22) is an instrumental adaptation of the piece by Stravinsky.

Much of the live band had played on the studio album (Pert, Giblin, Morrisey, Leahy, Rainbow). (The album lists the band members, but does not say who plays what.)

The main body of material is an audience recording that had not previously even been bootlegged. The remaining tracks (27-41) had been bootlegged, but Earnshaw tracked down the original recording. They come from a tour rehearsal. (HP, 24 Dec 06)
