Yes - Live USA 1971 - Vinyl LP

Howe's transcendent skills as a player and songwriter ignited a creative fire in the group, and the resulting The Yes Album blatantly spelled this out for everyone to see. The Yes Album burned the heads of critics and record buyers alike, hitting number four in the UK. and cracking the U.S. Top 40. Touring for the album book a year to complete (1970-71), starting and ending in London. The New Haven concert was their final date in their first tour of America and while evidently shorter than some other setlists during the bour, this particular show brought a lot of critical acclaim for the band. In fact, this just might be the greatest performance ever by Yes captured live on FM radio. The intensity of the playing has also marked this show out from others in fan circles who refer to this as the Holy Grail of Yes broadcasts from 1971 London Calling revisits that classic July 24th 1971 performance at the Yale Bowl, with a fully restored and professionally remastered original WPLA-FM broadcast.
