''Yesshows'' is the second live album by British progressive rock group Yes. Released shortly after the appearance of ''Drama'', ''Yesshows'' comprises live performances ranging from the summer of 1976 to the supporting tour for ''Tormato'' in 1978. The album's release was supervised by bassist Chris Squire. Yesshows was remastered and expanded in 2009 by Isao Kikuchi, and published by Warner Music Japan as part of their "Yes SHM-CD Papersleeve" series. ==Background== Like the group's previous live album, ''Yessongs'', ''Yesshows'' begins with a recording of Igor Stravinsky's ''Firebird Suite''. Unlike the ''Yessongs'' version, the band members may be heard playing in tandem with the Stravinsky track on this recording. Although Rick Wakeman is the keyboardist on most tracks, the 1976 performances ("The Gates of Delirium" and "Ritual - Nous Sommes du Soleil") feature Patrick Moraz, before he left Yes prior to the recording of ''Going for the One''. On the original double vinyl LP, "Ritual (Nous Sommes Du Soleil)" was split in two, with its second half continuing on Side D of the record. For the CD edition, it was stitched back together, although each part is allotted its own track number. The album shows photographs of the band's late 1970s live stage performances. Around 1977 they developed the idea of a circular rotating stage, known informally as performing "in the round", with Jon Anderson's microphone hanging from the ceiling of the venue. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Yesshows」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
