Yessongs is a triple live album by Yes, released in 1973 on Atlantic Records. It documents the band’s classic early‑1970s lineup during tours supporting Fragile and Close to the Edge, capturing Yes at their peak as a live progressive rock act.
Recorded across multiple venues between 1972 and 1973, the album showcases extended, virtuosic performances with complex arrangements, long instrumental passages, and improvisation. The sound quality was notable for the time, aiming to faithfully reproduce the power and detail of Yes’s concerts.
Key performances include Yours Is No Disgrace, Starship Trooper, Close to the Edge, Perpetual Change, Heart of the Sunrise, And You and I, Roundabout, and I’ve Seen All Good People. The album highlights the interplay between Jon Anderson, Chris Squire, Steve Howe, Rick Wakeman, and Alan White.
