During the summer of 2011, my anonymous sidekick and I got to work on the transfer and mastering of video tapes that had long been in the possession of a mutual friend. The transfer involved purchasing hardware, and considerable effort was expended in achieving high-quality results.
While all of this material has been available for some time, this is the highest-quality version yet.
Released by TheTooleMan on the 35th anniversary of the release of the album "Going for the One," July 7, 1977 7-7-77.

Fascinating to hear how the music was molded and developed through the sessions, but, even more so, how the final takes showed greater restraint, which is the essence of the perfection of the finished record and is characteristic of Going for the One as a whole. A great historical document of the birth of one of the best rock albums ever made. Since 1977, I'd envisioned Mountain Studios as a thing of crystalline beauty, but it looks more like a seedy basement in Notting Hill...

Imagine if we had a video like this for close to the edge

Going For The One was released 2 days before my 16th birthday in the summer of 1977. I bought the vinyl LP from the New Releases section of a record store. When a high school friend found out I had it, she said "You know Vikki C______. If you let her know you have the new YES album and some weed, you will get very lucky". I took the advice. Vikki and I had a lot of good times and I did get lucky many times. I love that album for many reasons, and that one is a great memory from long ago.

RIP Chris Squire. You changed the face of music with your wonderful talents.
-
RIP Alan White. The rock and foundation of the band from 1973 onward. Always so involved and so dedicated. I'm glad we have this and other footage to document their working together so well.
-
Steve Howe was (and is) such a bad ass on the guitar!
-
8:00 Steve sparks a JOINT! SO 70's, long live YES
-
Oh how many countless hours I sat in my bedroom listening to this album absolutely enthralled from beginning to end. RIP Chris, you're dearly missed
-
Seeing footage of the sessions for all of their albums would be a dream come true.
-
Unbelievable record in so many ways. First and foremost being the excellent title track, not to mention my favorite Yes song. I will never forget the first time I heard this song, which was probably KMET FM, circa 1977. I was 13 years old and had been hip to Yes for about 4 years by then. That tells you how friggin great Yes is. Going for the one is by far their best record.
-
43:47 when my Boyz Steve and Chris sing Dylan is probably the best thing I have ever seen on youtube!
-
Steve Howe is the very best human being to ever pick up a guitar
-
In my subjective opinion (Again: Opinion) the last truly great Yes album.
-
I seen Yes 1976 and 1977 at JCNJ Roosevelt stadium. My jesus it was the best concerts ever back then. I will never forget these concerts it was a great time. Steve and Chris wakeman anderson How I worship Chris and Steve god bless you guys. God bless you all wherever you are. Love you all

This was my first yes album bought in 1977. There was a advert on itv just heard the intro for going for the one. l was hooked, my second album was close to the edge, lve never regretted a moment. seen yes many many times
-
going for the one is a great album!!
-
Rick Wakeman what a card! "Difficult to put into words....like losing ones stiffy"
-
SO incredibly elated that they have the making/jamming/evolution, and recording of this album on film! Especially Awaken ...with much unbrokenness of the best parts of the piece! It comes the closest to pure ecstatic divinity that a song can get in my opinion! l first heard it 37 years ago at 16, and it knocked the wind out of me! l'm STILL trying to catch my breath!!!!
-
An absolute wonnder to behold! lf there was any composition that one could pick to watch the construction of ......AWAKEN would be the piece most chosen! And here it is ....right before our eyes! A blessing from God imo. Soooo happy!
