Here is a wonderful snapshot of YES in their prime, featuring the band in 1977 and 1976, all from first-generation tapes. These are both very fine shows, EX- sound quality for the 1977 and EX sound quality for the 1976. The same taper did both shows and used great equipment, as the results show. One song sample provided for each show (Going for the One-1977 & Heart of the Sunrise-1976). Detroit concerts from the 1970s (and the city's great audiences) are always special, so here's a Detroit Special for all Yes fans to enjoy.

These are the remaining Detroit tracks that were NOT INCLUDED on the official releases "Yes Shows" and "The Word is Live." Here are the rest of the songs from this superb 1976 concert. The band obviously thought this was a hot show, because they have released half of it during the past 30 years. The remaining tracks included here have never been officially released. The lineup is the same, except Patrick Moraz is on keyboards, not Rick Wakeman. Excellent, sharp recording!
