Yes london 1978

As far as pure musicianship goes, this recording shows that Yes was still proving that they "had it" more than a decade after forming. Steve Howe's brilliant acoustic solo on "The Clap;" Rick Wakeman's extensive keyboard solo on "Siberian Khatru;" and bassist Chris Squire's throbbing solo on "Fish Schindleria Praemataurus " are all done with amazing musical skill.

Shortly after this tour, the band fell apart, with Anderson and Wakeman departing to do their own projects. Bansuri is an Indian bamboo flute.

You would think that Yes were on top of the world. And yet, was an unsettling time for the band.

The decision had already been made with the last album cover to give a new look to the band and use Hypgnosis artists rather than Roger Dean. The Tormato album continued with that idea over the objections of Steve Howe. Originally, Tormato was to be called Tor. The Yes-Tor album cover was to be a picture of the band in front of a famous rock in Devon, England called the Yestor.

Instead, the band had their picture taken in a park near the recording studio, nowhere near Devon. This was eventually fixed in post-processing but was not a good omen for the album or the band. Indeed, during , Yes were also having internal problems of their own. But there were some publishing disagreements and a few problems. Never believe credits on any album.

During an interview in , Jon Anderson was asked about the cause of the break-up. A matinee show on the final day at Wembley was even added to the schedule to accommodate the demand.

Both songs were played with power and emotion demonstrating the cohesiveness that Yes had achieved after so many years of playing together.

The big Medley follows and presents segments of many of the classic Yes moments from previous years.
