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.

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 collection is a lot of literally “homebrewed” pieces by Steve Howe.

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

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 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 Steve Howe’s first fully acoustic studio album.

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.

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

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

This is a pretty intriguing set.

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.

An album that is rather maligned in fan circles, Tormato is a bit pop oriented, but really has some wonderous moments. The bass sound on this one is a bit experimental, having a very processed approach, and although the majority of the songs are more accessible, there is a spirit of prog rock jamming that creates an openness and spirit of virtuosity throughout.

Although this album is strictly instrumental, it’s one of the most “Yes-like” of Steve Howe’s solo catalog.

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.
