This WMMS Broadcast Master recording is not really rare either but it is the lesser posted of the 1978 tour. I really love this show because it was a simulcast so it's warts and all. It's also a complete concert, some FM broadcasts are edited prerecorded affairs. The best performances picked and bad ones left out all that crap. As for the performance, these guys don't sound like a band that will be going it's separate ways after the tour.

With Yes, Asia and solo albums you would think that Steve Howe had enough to keep him busy in the 1980s. Turns out he didn't, neither did Steve Hackett after leaving Genesis for a solo career. So what do you do, get a drummer, bassist and singer you already have 2 fantastic guitarists. I remember listening to an interview with the 2 Steves when they said they wanted to find a singer that could give the band an American sound. To do that they hire the British former lead vocalist of Bronz (the guy could hit some freakishly high notes in his day!). I guess they meant American sounding in the Styx, Journey kinda vibe. They tapped Marillion's former drummer Jonathan Mover and bassist Phil Spalding who's Prog-Rock cred was from playing with Mike Oldfield. Of course Steve Howe missed his Asia & Yes mates so Geoff Downes was brought in to produce. I bought the album after hearing "When the Heart Rules the Mind" and I love it, still play it am listening to it right now as I type this. The group failed to make a follow up album and the members went back to their other jobs.

The show is great performance wise but the tape suffers from his, radio background noise and simple age. Now that said do not be afraid to check this show out, it's still very listenable and enjoyable!!
