Yes Topographic Drama Live Across America 3LP Vinyl

TOPOGRAPHIC DRAMA – LIVE ACROSS AMERICA gathers the standout moments from the 2017 leg of the 28-show tour and follows the same set list played those nights. Every evening began with all six Drama songs (1980), the band’s tenth studio album, which reached #2 on the U.K. album chart. Highlights include “Machine Messiah,” “Tempus Fugit” and the record’s only single, “Into The Lens.”

From there the group moved to material off two of its best-selling releases: “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). The opening and closing tracks of the concept album Tales From Topographic Oceans (1973) come next. Howe’s guitar work on “The Revealing Science Of God” and White’s drumming on “Ritual” have long been called ground-breaking.

Two live staples close the record: “Roundabout” from Fragile (1971) and “Starship Trooper” from The Yes Album (1971). Yes formed in 1968 and ranks among the most influential and respected progressive rock bands. These Grammy-Award® winning recording artists have sold more than 50 million records across a career spanning six decades.
