YESSONGS

Without a question as far a live albums go, YES' "Yessongs" would rank right up there as one of my all time favorite albums. Released back in '73 as a triple vinyl album set devoted to capturing YES live on their 1972 tour. YES here perform songs from "Fragile", "Close To The Edge" and The YES Album which is my personal favourite era for YES. In my opinion this album contains one of the greatest intro's ever recorded live with the except from the "Firebird Suite" cascading into "Siberian Khatru" in epic proportions. ANDERSON's voice is highly angelic throughout this show and I don't think you can get much better than the guitar work of Steve HOWE, WAKEMAN' analog keyboard runs, SQUIRES pattented bass fretting or Alan WHITE's excellent drumming.
