Yes/London, UK 1980

In 1980, when new wave was at its peak, from the UK tour after releasing “Drama” after joining with the Buggles, the Rainbow performance in London on December 173 was recorded as a complete high-quality audience recording at the time. . First of all, the full live recordings of this period are extremely rare, and the tour that welcomed the two members of The Buggles was met with a storm of boos from old fans, and Trevor Horn was said to never be able to go on stage again after that. It turned out to be an exciting tour. Although the songs from the past certainly feel strange, the short and compact arrangements are surprisingly fresh when listened to now, and the set list is unique to this period, including numbers from “Drama”, and will probably not be performed in the future. You’ll never be disappointed, especially with songs like “Does It Really Happen?,” “Into The Lens,” “Go Through This,” “Man In A White Car Suite,” and “We Can Fly From Here.” All the numbers are worth listening to. In the history of Yes, John Anderson is absent, and the unique and valuable sound source, such as the performance with a strong new wave color, is in the best quality. DISC ONE : 01.
