Topographic Drama - Live Across America (Vinyl)
Triple vinyl LP pressing. 2017 live release from the prog rockers. Topographic Drama - Live Across America highlights the best performances from the 2017 leg of the 28-show tour and mirrors the set list from those concerts. Each night, Yes opened with all six songs from Drama (1980), the band's 10th studio album, which peaked at #2 on the U.K. album chart. Standouts include Machine Messiah, Tempus Fugit and the album's only single Into The Lens. After Drama, the band shifted gears for songs from two of it's best-selling albums: And You And I from 1972's Close To The Edge (RIAA platinum) and Heart Of The Sunrise from 1971's Fragile (RIAA double-platinum). Next, the group played the opening and closing tracks of it's concept album, Tales From Topographic Oceans (1973). Howe's exceptional guitar work on The Revealing Science Of God and White's propulsive drumming on Ritual have always been regarded as ground-breaking. The album concludes with two live staples: Roundabout from Fragile (1971) and Starship Trooper from The Yes Album (1971). Among the world's most influential, ground-breaking, and respected progressive rock bands, Yes was founded in 1968. The Grammy-Award® winning recording artists have sold more than 50 million records in a career that has so far spanned six decades.
