"The Boston Tea-FTO Party" (get it? TFTO? clever, aren't I!)
Source: much-better alternate audience recording which surfaced in late 2003 -> Matt Putzel -> G. Pisano -> TheTooleMan -> Sound Forge and other of TheTooleMan's Toys -> Audio CD -> EAC -> FLAC
OU: If you have JUST ONE recording of Yes in Boston on 1974-02-26, THIS AIN'T IT. You know the lyrics in "The Remembering" which say, "Alternate hue, alternate hue..." Well, this is ALTERNATE TAPE!!!
Matt Putzel unearthed this one from whomever had it buried in their treasure chest over the years. This recording has more substance than the more widely-circulated but thin-sounding version you already have.
The concert is one of the best performances of the Tales shows, and this is one of the best-sounding of all the live Tales tapes. Yes was in full swing with the Tales tracks, the concerts were going sort of like clockwork, Wakeman was drinking himself blind, the audience was yelling for Roundabout after the first song... what more can you ask for?
The band stopped playing "The Remembering" at the end of February, caving in to demands for more familiar material, so this is one of the last live performances of that track. It's also one of the best, with fewer Wakeman fuck-ups. Too bad they dropped it, since it's my favorite of the "Tales."
Mr. Putzel had patched the gaps in this recording using the more widely-circulated version. I asked for a copy of the unpatched master, but he could not provide one. (I would still like a copy of the unaltered master. I think George P. ultimately sent me a copy of Matt's remaster.) I decided I could improve the way the gaps were patched, at least to my taste, by matching the pitch and EQ of the two sources more closely. So what you have here is my remaster built upon Matt's.

I wish to say (many times) THANKS for your effort and generosity. By the by, that was clever :-)
Bless you sir! I've been in search of Tales/Boston for the past 5 years. A complete Tales Show with a complete CTTE =D. Nice sound, perfect d/L & conversion, and a bonus RSOG.
Thanks again! I'll be enjoying this one for the rest of my days.
Hey Dave: Thanks for this! I haven't asked in awhile, but any chance of some of the Talk tour stuff you mentioned a long time ago? Anything except Orlando, Phoenix, MSG, Philadelphia, Beunos Aires, Birmingham, Missouri, Canidegua? The Talk tour show are so great!
Thanks for the wonderful remastering of Boston Tales - a real treat.
The 'Bob Harris Show', however, turns out to be something else than advertised. It is just the available studio recording of side 1 of Tales with a somewhat different mix. The timing of the different parts of this so-called 'special BBC Studio' recording is near-perfect with the usual CD, and that cannot be sheer coincidence.
So was it Bob Harris who originally presented a fake 'alternate recording' while it was just the normal recording, or did something went wrong along the way from 1974 to present day?
