Listening now to this stereo/mono CD.

I hear the similarity, but it’s not “Anyone” by Justin Bieber / “Goin’ Home” by Toto similar.

@marpow I should clarify my comment above by not assuming that everyone has seen this: Rick Beato: Justin Bieber vs Toto: Coincidence? Let’s Compare

I watch Rick Beato all the time, in fact just watched last night, breaking down Megadeth's Symphony Of Destruction.

He’s never boring!

My favorite Yes era is the Trevor Rabin era. I own 3 versions of Big Generator, and as usual the orginal 1980's or 1990's CD's always pull through as good quality.
1987 CD DR's 15, 14, 16, 14, 14, 13, 13, 15 Inexpensive
2017 Japanese SACD DR's 9,8 9,9,8,7,8,9 Expensive
2013 HDTracks 14, 14, 14, 14, 13, 13, 13, 15 Expensive

Even NICE! Looking forward to your review (in the surround thread!) of the surround mix on the live concert DVD!

I already posted my mini review in another thread but to reiterate NOTHING GOING ON IN THE REARS but I would highly recommend the 90 minute concert as it's STELLAR A C and I'd opt for the $14.99 RBCD/DVD~A DTS 4.1 combo over the more pricey box set with BD~V..... unless you want that extra large A C Tee shirt and those 3 'stickers!'

WHAA?!? I was really hoping for a great surround mix given the effusive posts from @marpow ! I'm sorry i missed your POST, but i'm glad i waited on buying the disc–i can't believe there's NOTHING in the rears! What a bummer! Good to know the music is good, though–thanks for your feedback!

Unless, Comrade, Markie was hearing 'bats in the belfry' in the rear of his listening room........I kept putting my ears to the rear speakers and even the ambience is depressingly MINIMAL. But it's recorded well and it's Alice and he's still BATSHIT....in a flattering light!

Is this the one I said is 4.1? I'm swimming in new music lately and can't remember what I said.

Si, Si, Markie! It's DTS 4.1 although my OPPO mistakenly specifies 5.1. Not to worry, a FANTASTIC 90 minute Spectacle and well worth the tiny investment!

And with the added bonus of 15 NEW tracks from Alice on the included RBCD, a NO BRAINER purchase!

Yessir! THIS is the post that almost had me pull the trigger on the release! I have been LOVING your reports from your new listening environment–when @marpow speaks, @Clement listens! Stay Surrounded, Comrade!

A flip of your DSP switch will create a very enveloping surround UPMIX! The concert is spectacular! Don't be a WUSS!

Rosanne Cash - She Remembers Everything
Really good album, I appreciate her more and more as the years go by,
This version in book style package with 3 extra tracks

Stampeders - Live at the Mae Wilson
Good 2011 live album from the three original members. They have a lot of great songs beyond Sweet City Woman. Great variety from folk to country to hard rock to bluesy funk
