Heute vor genau 20 Jahren starte Yes' "Talk"-Tour in Binghamton, New York. Die 76 Konzerte umfassende und insofern für Yes-Verhältnisse recht kurze Tour führte die Band durch die USA, Kanada, Lateinamerika (Brasilien, Chile, Argentinien) und Japan. Nach Europa kam die Band nicht, da kein Veranstalter angesichts des nur mäßigen Erfolges des "Talk"-Albums, ein eventuell finanzielles Risiko übernahmen wollte.
Bei dieser Tour führten Yes ein neues Soundsystem ein, die Concertsonics. Sie ermöglichte eine höhere Soundqualität durch die Übertragung der Livemusik in Stereo auf einen tragbaren FM-Receiver mit Kopfhörern, den die Zuhörer selbst mitbringen oder vor dem Konzert ausleihen konnten. Dies sollte vor allem Konzertbesuchern in akustisch ungünstigen Bereichen der Hallen dasselbe Klangerlebnis ermöglichen, das das Publikum in der Nähe des Mischpults hat. Concertsonics wurde von der Firma Clair Bros. Audio in Zusammenarbeit mit Yes entwickelt. Die "Talk"-Tour war die erste Tournee einer Band, bei der dieses System zur Anwendung kam.

In den Tourprogrammen der "Talk"-Tour war die folgende Anleitung (geschrieben von Mike Tiano von "Notes Of the Edge") zum Gebrauch der Concertsonics zu lesen:
I. CONCERTSONICS

Yes will be introducing 'Concertsonics'. This will enable those sitting in certain areas to receive what they say is 'an exceptionally distinctive, high-quality mix of enhanced audio through a personal "Walkman Style" portable radio with headphones.' Unfortunately if you're sitting outside the main area then the sound may be slightly out of phase; since this is an experiment and Yes only recently received FCC approval to do this they were not able to sell tickets accordingly, so those who already have purchased tickets will not really know if they are sitting in the correct area. This is assembled in conjunction with longtime Yes sound associates Clair Bros Audio.

In addition there will be radio promotions where listeners can win tickets in these sections along with headphones and FM receivers.

Here's more info from the press release:

1. What exactly is Concertsonics?

An experimental broadcast of the show's live audio program. Ticket buyers in the pre-arranged section who have headphones and an FM receiver will be able to tune in and hear the special stereo broadcast of the show. They will experience a new dimension in sound unheard before in a live concert environment.

2. Which seats will receive this transmission?

Optimally, a designated section of seats approximately 25 feet deep by approximately 60 - 80 feet wide. Other areas may receive the broadcast but the audio time delay will only be correct for the designated area.

3. How much extra will it cost me to participate?

Nothing extra if you own the headsets and FM receiver or win them as part of a radio station promotion. The ticket price is not increased in any way for the qualifying sections.

4. Has anyone done this before?

No. Not in a concert hall environment.

5. Can I keep the headphones?

If you win the headphones and FM receiver they are yours to keep.

6. Why is Yes doing this?

Innovation has always been something that Yes has strived for. Yes are always interested in giving their audience production values never before experienced.

7. What can I expect?

Very clean audio with good stereo effects and almost no blurring of the sonics by the room and audience.

8. What if my tickets aren't in the headphone area?

You may still be able to hear the broadcast, but it may sound a little "echoey" or out of sync outside the designated area.

9. Am I obligated to listen to the whole show with the headphones?

No. The system is designated to enhance the show and may be used at your preference.

10. Do the headsets need to be exactly like the ones they are giving away on the radio?

The system will work best if the headsets match those issued by YES/The Radio Station, but others may work also. Generally, as a rule of thumb, superior quality earphones and receivers should be used such as a Sony SRF-M43 AM/FM Walkman Radio. If you use anything else, you are on your own. This is why we call this an experiment. As a minimum requirement, however, your receiver should have two AA batteries, not one.

11. Can I bring a boom box?

No.
