I STILL REMEMER
THE DREAM THERE
Yessongs
is the first
live album
by the English
progressive
rock band
released as a
triple album
in the US
on
May 4th 1973
and in the UK
on
May 18th 1973
by Atlantic Records.
After completing
their
Close to the Edge Tour
in April 1973,
the band selected
live recordings
between February
and
December 1972
on their tours
supporting
Fragile
(1971)
and
Close to the Edge
(1972)
for a live
album release.
They were then
edited and remixed
their producer and
live sound mixer
Eddy Offord.
Two tracks
feature
original
Yes drummer
Bill Bruford,
with the remainder
of the drumming
being performed by
his replacement,
Alan White.
Yessongs
received a mostly
positive reception
from music critics,
though much criticism
was directed at
its sound quality.
The album was a
commercial success
for the band,
reaching number 7
on the
UK Albums Chart
and number 12
on the
US Billboard 200.
In 1998,
the album was
certified platinum
by the Recording Industry
Association of America
(RIAA)
for selling over
one million copies
in the United States.
In 2015,
recordings of seven shows
from late 1972,
including ones that were
used in the original album,
were released in
their entirety as
Progeny: Seven Shows
from Seventy-Two.
