Rating metrics: Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)

This album is rated in the top 24% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.8/100, a mean average of 74.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.7.

Strong collection of some of Yes' best material from their heyday in the live scene. Great track listing, great performances, especially on the always-stunning Gates of Delirium. Would have been OK with maybe cutting out some of the "noise" of Ritual (Part 2) to truncate this thing a bit, but I really like everything else. Good starting point for getting into Yes' in their live element during the late '70s.

Shocking that this is ranked so low! Almost as good as Yessongs. The performances certainly are, the track list is just slightly weaker.

Brilliant live album. I have the original vinyl version which is still in near mint condition and sounds superb through quality audio kit.

A very good live album of the classic material from Yes that was not covered by Yessongs - no duplication between these two Yessongs & Yesshows as opposed to nearly all live albums to come. The live version of Gates of delirium herein is well worth it and even more "aggressive" than the original studio version.
