Saw these guys several times at the Philly Spectrum. Best show was on the revolving round stage. If anyone has any video of this show I'd love to see it. I believe it was on the Toremato tour. Thanks
Yes, A Celebration 1969-1979 2DVD set available at Tommygun Video, please see our youtube channel for links, video clips, more details. Footage includes live at QPR 1975, Beat Club 1972, Time & A Word videos, and more rare stuff from the 70s
Their writing and performance was just so strong around the Yes Album period. Fragile was great after that then Close to the Edge. When Bill Bruford left, so did I.
Like the vid here but the sound quality just does not do it for me regardless the concert would have been better one hopes for shore well allways loved yes even when t5hey sound sound half half laugh lol its the production.

OK, you're all going to think that I'm bullshitting. We caught this show in Providence, Rhode Island in August 1977. The set ended with Awaken. The first encore was Starship Trooper. The second was Roundabout, which had an intro similar to that of Your's Is No Disgrace from Yessongs. The band left the stage and the lights came on. Roadies got on wth the stage breakdown. The crowd remained for 15 minutes, the lights dimmed and Yes returned with Trooper. Unreal.
@Aggromerchant You are not bulshitting when Yes came to the Providence Civic Center in 1977. I was there back sage with my buddies trying to get the group to play another song. There must have been 10 or more of us on the stage when Yes came back on. It was an awsome concert!!

You are correct. The 1979 versions of Starship Trooper are the best ever!!!! 1978 versions are 2nd best. You can watch The Philadelphia 1979 version on youtube. It's beyond comprehension
... from your pix here, looks like Squire was using a Fender bass, not his signature Rick...! I definitely prefer the '79 version of Trooper better than this; this one's good; 79's better, tho...
@kewlbreez77 Funny how you noticed that. I did put some Tormato tour pics on here by mistake. I think I have the 79 version of this up but I'll have to check and see. If not, I'll put it up. I like it better also.
The 1978 and 1979 Starship Troopers are the best ever!! This 1977 version is total pandamonium. 1978 & 1979 are beyond, beyond, beyond the point of comprehension. The 1978 wurms are not to be believed.
The 1979 wurms are the most insane, greatest ever! The Philadelphia 1979 version on youtube proves that. As good as that is, it's still not the best one. 6/19/79 Boston Garden and 6/30/79 - Miami - the last Tormato tour show are the among the best.
@johnfudencio I did have the 79 version up (Wembley) under a different account which got deleted for some reason. I'll try and get it up again within the next three days.
Yes did not play at Wembley in 1979. Maybe you mean 1977 or 1978. The Starship Trooper live in 1978 and 1979 are the best ever. 1978 BEYOND MIND BOGGLING!. The 1979 versions are way beyond mind boggling!
@kewlbreez77 dude there random pictures from different shows and different songs how the hell are u goin to say hes using one bass if ur not actually seeing him play
@kewlbreez77 Alexandre Dumas pere wrote over 400 historical novels exposing world tyranny(Roman Catholic Empire). He was born near Paris in 1802 and 'coincidentally' in 1902 the Society of Jesus(Jesuits) were expelled from France for the 3rd and last time. The Society of Jesus(Jesuits) have been expelled from 83 countries, city states and cities and their pope is ARAMIS AND HE IS ALSO KNOWN AS THE COUNT OF MONTE CHRISTO(GENERAL OF THE JESUITS).

Thnx f/ posting; my 1st Yes show was Philly '77, saw them 4, or 5 times from '77 - '80 @ the ole Spectrum. I only remember one "Yes In The Round" show from '79, I think; barely remember that, as it is... hmm... ;-)
I think '79 they were better than here, liked Starship Trooper better then. Njoy the music....
@66TJP I think Anderson's voice was the best ever on the Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe tour in 1989. It was powerful as hell plus he had the added authority of being older. If you haven't seen it , watch ABWH An Evening of Yes Music Plus and you'll see what I mean.
@CatapultYourMom To each their own. GFTO is my favorite Yes album followed very closely by CTTE. And of course the first two, YES and Time and a Word.
@66TJP Going for the One is polished to the point of sounding like New Age. It's still a great album & certainly the best produced & best sounding Yes Album of all time but best sounding does not equate to artistically best realized. Everything from Yes Album to Topographic Oceans trumps it, in my humble-assed opinion. What I want to know is why come back after a New Age masterpiece like Going to the One with a gigantic turd like Tormato ? .
@metamorphosis67 ????? why would you say that about Tormato?? i mean, i know the album got some negative criticism, but have you listened to Onward?? that is an awesomely beautiful song! i also think Madrigal, Release Release, Future Times/Rejoice and On The Silent Wings Of Freedom are great songs.
