New Live Yes Album/Box Set

Hmm, I'm not sure that I really need more live versions of those songs, classic though they are.

I HAVE to have this! Thank God, it is under $100.00!

A 14-disc box set??? Okay, I will wait for my library to buy it. I like Yes, but this is madness.
The "Yesshows" was already a 3-CD set, there are a lot of other live archives availables, I'm not going to spend half of my salaries/allowances on this monster!

UPDATE!

I jumped the gun on this;  I also felt that they would have the amazing Bruford.

I think I will pass....

Yes pulling a King Crimson. 

Might go for it but will largely depend on the price. I certainly wouldn't pay £100 for it but if it retails for less than £50 then I will consider it. Good quality bootlegs and 'straight from boards' type recordings usually sound better than the traditional live albums to my ears.

This would have been much more interesting if they had released it as a 14 CD box covering 7 different tours (one each from Fragile tour to the Drama tour).  As it is, it's the same 2 CDs' worth of songs 7 times.  Don't think I really need this one.  I can just buy 7 copies of Yessongs and get the same effect. 

YES lost again a very good opportunity to release more live recordings with the Anderson-Squire-Bruford-Wakeman-Howe line-up. I think that from "Yessongs" the best recorded songs are the ones which were recorded with this line-up ("Perpetual Change", "Long Distance Runaround" and "The Fish"). I don`t have anything against Alan White, but, as he have said in interviews, he thinks that it was a bit unfair from the band  to release a live album like  "Yessongs" when he was still learning how to play with the band. He did a great job under the circunstances of having to learn all the material in three days before the tour started, and his performances are good, but his drum kit did not sound very well in "Yessongs", and maybe it was more due to the tuning or the recording of the individual drums (mainly the snare drum) that anything else. And as a whole the recordings of the other songs of "Yessongs" with White on drums are not very good, as many people have said. Maybe YES should have released the rest of the songs with Bruford from the same recordings of the same concerts they released with him in "Yessongs". I am not going to spend my money on buying the same set list of songs from  "Yessongs" from several concerts of the same tour.

Hi,

I'm sick and tired of the same old crap!   It's not worth buying, unless you want to make sure Roger Dean gets his nickels ... but this is just another crass commercial attempt by a few members to rip as much money as they can.
