Yes

Great Imagination

Spodek Hall

Katowice, Poland

March 27th 1998

This is a really good show.

I very much liked this period of Yes with Billy Sherwood

in the band. Open Your Eyes is a great album which seems

sadly overlooked. Man in the Moon is a wonderful Sherwood song

but I am not aware of Yes ever playing it live.

Jon mentions it is being broadcast so I guess

that is the source although there are no radio

jingles or DJ talk. Some unmatching audience parts

suggest these may have been removed.

The version of Whitefish is the highlight for me.

Chris is in mean form.

Keyboardist Igor Khoroshev also deserves a mention.

He is excellent throughout although his tenure with Yes

ended in rather 'unfortunate' circumstances.

This from his wiki page:

Khoroshev left Yes after their Masterworks Tour following

an incident involving two female security guards

on that tour. Khoroshev was charged with assault and battery

and sexual battery although the matter was later settled out of court.

I did some work on From the Balcony/Jon's chat just before

as it had terrible noise which irritated me especially

through headphones. It may have suffered slightly soundwise

but I prefer it this way. I also redid the Firebird Suite intro

as one channel was not great. Just copied the good channel

and made a duel mono out of it then reduced it's volume a bit

so it matched the level of Siberian Khatru.
