Listen "Rotten Tormatoes? The Wembley Recording, 1978 – 699"
Episode Synopsis
Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Wayne Hall, Ken Fuller and Jeffrey Crecelius
The Yes-a-verse went into meltdown this week over a new release of the Wembley BBC concert recording. As you will hear, it’s a bit of a twisted tale so I was grateful to have Mark to help me wade through the marshy world of bootlegs. We’d love to hear your thoughts on this release, the BBC concert recording from 1978 or anything else to do with Yes bootlegs. Please leave your comments below.
