YES YesSongs Full Concert - Live Performance Remastered

Date: 1973

In January 1973, Yes was at a pivotal point in their career, having recently released their album "Fragile" in late 1971, which had garnered significant acclaim and included the hit "Roundabout." This live performance, showcased in the "YesSongs" concert, took place during their touring cycle for "Close to the Edge," released in September 1972. The band was enjoying a surge in popularity due to their innovative blend of progressive rock, complex compositions, and virtuosic musicianship. The "YesSongs" live recording captures the band at their creative peak, featuring elaborate arrangements and showcasing the talents of all the members, including legendary keyboardist Rick Wakeman and guitarist Steve Howe. This performance would later be included in the band's first live album, further solidifying their reputation as one of the leading acts in the progressive rock movement of the era.
