I remember when the original version of this came out wondering why a full live album wasn’t done.

Yes seldom do anything in a small way when it can be done in an epic manner. 

Our old rule at Music Street Journal was, if it’s out of print, we don’t review it.

Only the second album in the history of Yes to be recorded without Jon Anderson, this one, particularly since it’s the only other Yes disc with Geoff Downes on keyboards, is obviously compared to Drama.

Where do I begin on this review? I guess I should start by saying that I’m a Yes fanatic and I have been since I was twelve years old – and for those keeping track, that’s a long time ago.

This box set is a class act. The whole thing comes in something that resembles a book. 

While any Yes album is better than the music of a lot of other bands, this is probably the group’s weakest live album.

Lately we’ve been moving away from our long-held rule that in order to reviewed an item had to be in print.

Although this is out of print, I’ve decided to review it at Music Street Journal.

There is certainly something to be said for truth in advertising. Looking at the group name and the album title, really sets the stage for the music within.

This new live album from Yes is quite good.

Yes recently did a couple of tours where they performed some of their studio albums in their entirety. This live recording comes from one of those shows.

I drove to The Symphony Hall and bought a ticket for the night's Yes show at the last minute (literally!). It was a long shot, but it really paid off, as I got a good seat in the stalls.

There was something ominous about the date of this concert -11.11.11 so it was very much a case of going for the one on the night.

There seem to be some Yes fans deriding the recent incarnations of Yes.

This is my first time seeing Yes with the Benoit David and Oliver Wakeman line-up.

 I knew it would be hard to see Yes without Chris Squire! As "Onward" played, with a white Rickenbacker on stage with a spotlight, I felt myself tearing up.

This is a reissue of the Yes album Open Your Eyes on 180 gram vinyl.

It used to be that at Music Street Journal we didn’t cover things that were out of print.

Going back and catching up on some vinyl releases, this one should be pretty easy to find online.

This is a new, massive box set from Yes. It includes seven complete concerts from 1972.

The old rule at Music Street Journal was that we didn’t cover items that weren’t in print.

This is just getting released on BluRay and with an extra concert.

This DVD is one of the best from Yes.

Since we’ve already reviewed the DVD version of this set, this review will focus on the difference between this new BluRay release and that original one.

Here is another compilation of Yes music. It is the first two CDs from The Ultimate Yes, repackaged.

For hardcore Yes fans, this is a real treasure.

This 35th Anniversary collection of Yes shares a lot of material with other compilations of theirs.

There have been a few books written about the band, Yes but this one really includes the involvement of many of the members of the group through extensive interviews. 

This brand new live album from Yes is cool stuff. For one thing, it's great to get live recordings of all the Drama songs. There are also two epics from Tales from Topographic Oceans and the "Leaves of Green" part from "The Ancient" on that album. They round the section out with a few other Yes classics. The live sound is great.

I've seen Yes close to twenty times (more times than I've seen any other band), and I can tell you that despite the technicality of their music and instrumental prowess, no two Yes shows are the same. That's true even when you see them on multiple nights in a row. Each performance is a little different because the music tends to take on a life of its own in live gigs. So, don't expect to hear the studio versions exactly covered here. For one thing, the line-up is different. For another thing, I don't think I've ever heard a live Yes song sound exactly like the studio version. I mean, why would you want that? You can listen to the studio version any time. I think these renditions are very faithful, and bring a new life to the songs at times. I highly recommend this, especially for those (like myself) who really love Drama.

Like last year, there is a new Yes picture disc released for Record Store Day. Last year it was 90125. This year they turned their attention to Tormato.

I remember seeing Yes on the Union tour. It was an amazing show.

This is a new reissue of the original Yes concert film. While the main film remains unchanged from older editions, there is quite a bit of added material here.
