Here we have one of very few silver "factory boot" CD sets in my Yes collection. I acquired it in a snail-mail trade seven or eight years ago. This purported soundboard recording from the Open Your Eyes tour was released by Highland as "Yes Stage '98" with catalog number HL1 90/91. Checking at forgottenyesterdays.com (and simply cross-checking with set lists from other shows on the tour) we see that these discs do not contain the complete show. Although the usual "Firebird Suite" opening appears, missing is the Open Your Eyes "Ambience Track" which was used as prelude to each performance. "Roundabout" and "Starship Trooper" have been cut from the end of the show.

The band encounters technical difficulties mid-way through "Siberian Khatru" and muddle their way through after things are resolved. The awkward moments of dead air are preserved here.

The Highland cover scans are included. It lists the second piece in Steve Howe's solo as being "Ram," when actually it is "Diary of a Man Who Vanished." It incorrectly lists "Clap" as "The Clap," as did the original version from "The Yes Album." The Yes logo is printed with a slight tilt to the right on both the front and back covers (not a faulty scan).
