EXTRAORDINARY 1976 BROADCAST FROM THE MID-PERIOD YES LINE-UP

Between 1975 and 1976, each member of Yes released a solo album. Their subsequent 1976 tour of North America with Peter Frampton featured some of the band's most-attended shows. Their concert on of 12 June, also supported by Gary Wright and Pousette-Dart Band at John F. Kennedy Stadium in Philadelphia, attracted over 100,000 people. Titled ‘the solo-albums tour’, the jaunt was essentially a ‘greatest-hits-to-date’ affair, with several songs from the aforementioned solo-efforts thrown into the mix for good measure. The band hadn’t released a group album since Relayer in 1974, prior to which which Rick Wakeman had left Yes over disagreements about their previous record. One of the finest concerts of the tour took place at Roosevelt Stadium in Jersey City, New Jersey, on 17th June ’76, where Jon Anderson, Chris Squire, Steve Howe, Patrick Moraz and Alan White collectively played a superb gig which was recorded for live FM radio broadcast. Previously unreleased, this stunning event is now available in full on this new 2CD set.
