Before the band's notable live offerings, Yes released "Close to the Edge" in 1972, an album that is often hailed as one of the pinnacles of progressive rock. It features complex arrangements and profound lyrical themes, showcasing their artistic evolution. Interestingly, the live album “Yessongs," which captures their stage prowess and energetic performances, came out in the wake of "Close to the Edge." Released in 1973, it blends studio tracks with live performances, giving fans a taste of their electrifying concerts. Can you imagine being in the audience when they played those intricate pieces live? It must have been quite the experience! Not just a band, Yes has always pushed musical boundaries, even collaborating with different artists and crossing genres over the years.
