NewsYes / Union 30 Live super deluxe flight case box set
26CD + 4DVD anniversary box set
Gonzo Multimedia are celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Yes Union Tour – which featured all eight members of the band – with a special limited edition super deluxe edition box set which contains containing 26 CDs and four DVDs.
The main offering is a DVD which features a multi-camera shoot of the 8 August 1991 show at the Shoreline Amphitheatre, with accompanying soundtrack mixed by Trevor Rabin. This comes with two CDs.
What then follows are nine double or triple CD sets – some with DVDs – which are from a mixture of fan recordings, desk tapes and FM/Radio Broadcasts. The label say this is “a way for the band to combat this highly bootlegged tour, where some fans are paying in excess of $70 per show from various Japanese websites”.
It has been well documented that I loathed the Union studio album as the whole project was taken out of our hands and destroyed by those handed the responsibility for finishing it off. However, the Union Tour was another matter. Probably the most amazing and enjoyable tour I have ever been on with Yes and I am so glad it was recorded and filmed as it was an incredibly special time that can never be repeated. The Union Your is for me, the most important event in Yes history.”
Rick Wakeman
The CDs and DVDs come in old-school ‘fatbox’ jewel cases and are contained within flight case packaging. Each heavy-duty case has been sprayed individually, with the stickers placed on by hand meaning no two flight cases are the same. It includes a numbered certificate, reproduction tour programme, repro AAA laminate, repro cloth passes, 10 band photos and two posters.
Vinyl fans have their own version of the box which offers a 4LP coloured vinyl set of the Shoreline Amphitheatre show and gives you a DVD of that same show. It also comes with the printed bits and is limited to 1000 units.
The release dates vary somewhat depending on where you are purchasing these from, but in many regions, the Yes Union 30 Live box will be released on 25 June 2021.
