Symphonic Live [PA]

Performer: Yes
Distributor: Fontana Distribution

Notes: Yes: Jon Anderson (vocals); Chris Squire (bass guitar, background vocals); Alan White (drums, percussion); Steve Howe (background vocals). Additional personnel: Tom Brislin (keyboards). One of the most recognized and inspirational bands in the history of rock music, Yes has always been on the creative cutting edge. Since the 1960s, Yes has been cracking molds left and right, always staying ahead of (and beyond) the musical trends. In 2001, the band went on the road in support of the album MAGNIFICATION, and the two-CD SYMPHONIC LIVE captures one of those performances. Accompanied by the European Festival Orchestra conducted by Wilhelm Keitel, Yes awes audiences with their meticulous virtuosity and inventive new arrangements of several classic cuts.

The longest-running prog-rock group in the business, Yes flew on the strength of Jon Anderson's high, angelic voice and the group's instrumental virtuosity. The band began in England, rising from the ashes of pop-psych outfits like Tomorrow, Bodast, and Mabel Greer's Toyshop. Extending the technical facility of psychedelia and downplaying the trippiness, it helped forge the template for progressive rock and reigned as its most popular practitioners in the '70s. Over the years, Yes has weathered personnel changes, lawsuits, and changing public tastes while holding on to its original vision.
