Yes

The second official concert package from Yes contains tunes recorded over a span of two years (1976-1978) and two different incarnations of the band.

The first set recorded with guitarist Steve Howe, it remains Yes’ grandest achievement and claims a musical vision the British quintet’s contemporaries struggled to match…
