This is the quintessential coffee table book. That’s particularly true for those who love guitars.

The whole “do an album of covers” concept is a popular approach these days.

Lately I’ve been breaking our old rule at Music Street Journal.

This single from Anderson, Bruford Wakeman and Howe is out of print, of course, but these days, it’s not that hard (or sometimes expensive) to get your hands on something like this.

This is an unusual album for Asia.

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

This is a review of the special edition audiophile release of Close to the Edge. This is a great limited edition, numbered CD release.

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.

I remember when I got this album originally, I was unimpressed with it. I think part of that was expectations.

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.

I’ve always been a big fan of the Doors.

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 saw Anderson, Bruford, Wakeman and Howe on this tour and it was purely magical.

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.

This double CD set is a nice live show from the Aqua tour in Japan.  

Asia has been around for quite some time, and I think they are one of the few bands that has more live releases than studio albums.  

 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 massive set. It’s also quite an interesting one.

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

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

What an interesting ride I’ve had leading into this album.

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

This DVD is one of the best from Yes.

I really enjoyed the Steve Howe’s Remedy album.

First off, this is arguably a jazz rather than progressive rock release

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.

The third album from Yes, The Yes Album was a transitional disc. 

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.

I’m sure some would make the argument that we don’t need another Yes compilation album.

Asia return with their classic line-up for an out of this world album.

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.
