Yessongs is Yes' first transitional live album, part of the album includes: the drumming expertise of Bill Bruford, the other part is that of the new drummer-Alan White. Yessongs is a superb documentation of the early period, including such magnificent works as: Close To The Edge, parts of Fragile and The Yes Album. The performances are spectacular, esp. Chris Squire's expanded version of The Fish. Alan White's drumming is very good considering the fact that he had very little practice time with these epic songs before he substituted for Bill Bruford on the Close To The Edge tour.

Disc One · Disc Two

Disc One

Track No.	Song Title	Track Time	Commnents

1.	OPENING (EXCERPT FROM "FIREBIRD SUITE")	3:45	Playing an excerpt from the Firebird Suite by Stravinsky, would identify Yes as a "classical rock" group immediately.
2.	SIBERIAN KHATRU	8:50	A great song from "Close To The Edge," Siberian Khatru would have an even better version on Keys.
3.	HEART OF THE SUNRISE	11:26	A phenomenal live version of one of the Classic Yes songs from "Fragile."
4.	PERPETUAL CHANGE	14:08	This outstanding live version features Bill Bruford's drumming!
5.	AND YOU AND I including:(a. Cord Of Life b. Eclipse c. The Preacher The Teacher d. The Apocalypse)	9:55	An even more outstanding live version can be found on Keys 2
6.	MOOD FOR A DAY	2:52	Another outstanding Steve Howe instrumental!
7.	EXCERPTS FROM "THE SIX WIVES OF HENRY VIII"	6:35	Excerpts from Rick Wakeman's superb debut album!
