Going for the One Tour
Pavillon de Paris
Paris, France
December 6, 1977
Lineage: audience -> audio cd -> Sound Forge -> FLAC
OU: this is THE ULTIMATE REMASTER! And now we've arrived at the end of the tour, partying with Yes in the City of Light!
This recording is nothing short of EXCELLENT! There are nuances in the music that you cannot hear in lesser-quality recordings. Synthesizer patches and guitar effects are awesomely clear. You can even appreciate the flanging effect on the voices singing the "counter-lyrics" in "And You And I" (you know, "Coins and crosses..."). This kind of quality is rare in a 30-year-old tape.
I received this recording in a trade in 2002. It may not be the same version that Highland released, and which Lestat used for his recent remaster. From his description of the audio quality of the Highland recording, this is apparently much better!
Relayerman provided a lot of detail about what he did to enhance the recording of the first night in Paris. Since I did some of the audio work on this recording in 2002, I don't have the same detailed records of everything that was done. The original recording ran slow, so the pitch was flat. I corrected the pitch and balanced the stereo channels, each of which had somewhat different frequency response. Before I was all done, I applied Sonic Foundry (now Sony) Acoustic Mirror, which gives the recording a wider stereo field.
There is a patch in the last 90 seconds of Awaken which I think was in the original recording I received in trade. It's not bad, and it's probably from another average quality recording of the same performance. Relayerman says he has two versions of this show, but I have not confirmed with him whether both have this patch. I worked with the pitch and EQ of the patch to help it blend with the rest of the recording.
Overall, this is one of the most satisfying remastering projects I've undertaken, mostly thanks to the quality of the original recording. If I had deliberately saved the best for last, I still would have chosen this recording and this show.

excellent sound for an AUD
thanks!
There seems to be some problems with RS link3.
Thank you very much, Dave!!!
1977 has been the "last party" of sophisticated rock music.
Yes - Going For The One, Pink Floyd - Animals, Genesis - Seconds Out, Bruford - Feels Good To Me, Frank Zappa - Zappa in New York ...
No ... EL&P had their peak in 1974 and the "first generation" King Crimson too ...
I'm really interested comparing this to my "Highland" Version.
Thanks for this Dave, much appreciated
i will look into link 3 tomorrow
can you help me by sharing what the problem is?
It says the download is not available.
The file of the above link no longer exists. This could be for several reasons:
-The uploader deleted the file
-The file contained illegal contents and was deleted from our servers by our abuse-team.
-The file is incorrect
-The server is busy and can not process the request.
Hi,
Thank you very much for this post!
I was at this show and made somme wonderful pics. Don't forget Donovan who was the first part of this amazing and warm show.
part 3 rs is a problem on the rapidshare end "server under repair".

Hello Dave.
Just a few words to say that, at the time, I was 18 and I was present at this concert. So I'll probably listen to this with great nostalgia. So thanx a lot for this post and more generaly for all your work.
