Comments by the taper: 
I can't say enough about The Egg. I just love this venue. The acoustics are absolutely fantastic. This was a great show. This tour is the best they've sounded since 2004. This show was no exception. I was fortunate to be sitting in a sweet spot, and there is no chatter, or the usual "Billy, you the man!" screams that are normally heard at Yes concerts. I think much of this stems from the fact that while there is a bar in the lobby, you are not allowed to bring drinks inside the venue. Less drunks means less inane crowd noise! 

As for the recordings, I made two seperate recordings using both sets of microphones I own. They both came out spectacular. These are perhaps, the best sounding recordings I've made in the 11+ years of recording shows. This version was done with my trusty Sound Professional set up, which I find sometimes causes a little bit of low-end distortion that I am usually able to mix out of my recordings. That did not happen here. This one sounds fantastic. I have had really great luck with this setup recording at The Egg. I am having a tough time deciding which of the two recordings I like better. You can't really go wrong with either one. If I had to pick one, I would probably pick this one.
