YESSONGS

This live album was my introduction to the music of Yes. What can I say? It didn't leave the turntable for weeks. A gigantic effort from the band, but not from the sound engineer. The wonderful versions you will find here are severly hampered by the sound - even the digital remastering really can't compensate. So it's a pity that one of the best prog live albums of all time can't be restored to a satisfying sound experience. But this album is worth 5 stars nevertheless since many of the live versions simply send their studio brothers and sisters to oblivion (just think of the thrilling versions of Sibirian Khatru and Heart of the Sunrise on this album). This album is a must for friends of symphonic prog.
