Comments: What a wonderful surprise! From out of nowhere comes this
soundboard recording of the Yes Album lineup live in 1971.
The bonus tracks (attributed on the sleeve to Berlin '71)
aren't quite up to the same standard as the New Haven
material, but are nevertheless also soundboard. This one
comes _highly_ recommended.

Comments: There are a few *very* minor glitches on the CD (track 3 @2:11,
track 4 @ 1:01 & 4:06), but nothing serious at all - it just
sounds similar to a record skipping.

This version of 'America' is somewhere between that on the "Looking
Around" CD and the "Yesterdays" version we all know and love, in
that the arrangement is old (old intro, 'toss me a cigarette' verse,
no bass solo, etc.), but Steve Howe is unmistakably the guitarist
here.
