This release features the September 23rd Forum performance from the "Going for the One" tour, which began with the return of keyboardist Rick Wakeman. The setlist for this tour, which started with "RAM," changed to "GOING FOR THE ONE," the title track of the tour, towards the end. This is a high-quality recording, directly digitized from Mike Millard's master cassette, with excellent sound quality that required minimal editing. It's being released as part of the "Legendary" series.

In recent years, there's been a trend towards digitizing "Mike Millard tapes" directly from the masters or from low-generation tapes. These tapes were recorded by Mike Millard, a taper familiar to fans for his exceptional audience recording skills. The same label has released several recordings based on these newly digitized Mike Millard tapes, in two versions: "Brushed Mike Millard Tapes" and "Legendary Mike Millard Tapes." Not all Mike Millard tapes have perfect sound quality; some require significant editing and improvement, and the "Brushed" series features significantly improved versions. The "Legendary" series consists of recordings that were originally nearly perfect, leaving little room for further sound quality improvement, and therefore only undergoing minimal editing such as light editing between tracks.
