Yes: Los Angeles Forum 1977 (Mike Millard Master EX Aud) FLAC

This is a RARE pre-bootleg source untouched master
Publicationi
I made some art for the ocassion.
Yes: Los Angeles Forum, CA-September 23, 1977-Mike Millard Master Tape
Master tape>dat>dat>cd-r>Bias Peak Pro 5.2.1>XACT>flac

Other versions of this show have been posted of this concert before. This is not a re-seed or re-hash of those, but an entirely new upgrade from the master tapes.
On several occasions before he passed away, Millard let a close friend come to his residence and transfer a number of his masters to dat while they were hanging out. This show is one of those master>dat transfers.
This is Mike's mint, raw master. Please note that it has not been equalized or remastered. Since I do not have any boots of this show, I cannot comment on how it compares to them. To me the sound quality is excellent. As many of you already know, Millard's recordings are known for their quality. Hope you enjoy this gem.

I agree that the audience is very present for a Millard recording--especially the infamous clappers!
(Perhaps he wasn't allowed to be in area on the floor where there was nobody around--maybe just at the end of a row of seats in the aisle(?) this time--due to his 'stealth' wheelchair.) oh well...

great recording, but very difficult to enjoy because of the crowd noise. Is it possible to remix this and decrease the audience? Any suggestions on software/hardware needed to remix these files. thanks!

To answer your question: not really!
You can try to eq out some of the frequencies which feature the loud applause but that's about it!
I also found out why the crowd is so loud on Mike's recording: the security team/and/or Yes' tour people let the audience come down onto the floor area and crowd about the stage, so even though Mike in his wheelchair had his own spot on the floor by himself, he soon had a lot of company joining him, especially towards the end of the show!
