Description 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 tenth 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 its 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 its 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 artistshave sold more than 50 million records in a career that has so far spanned six decades.Tracklist [CD1] 1. Machine Messiah 2. White Car 3. Does It Really Happen? 4. Into The Lens 5. Run Through The Light 6. Tempus Fugit 7. And You And I (I. Cord Of Life, II. Eclipse, III. The Preacher The Teacher, IV. Apocalypse) 8. Heart Of The Sunrise [CD2] 1. The Revealing Science Of God 2. Leaves Of Green 3. Ritual (Nous Sommes Du Soleil) 4. Roundabout 5. Starship Trooper (A. Life Seeker; B. Disillusion; C. Würm)https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075XYP1HK/?tag=imwan-20

That would be interesting. But no, it's the other Jon (Davison).
I saw this tour and may get this since Drama is my favorite Yes album.

Then you can add 6 more to live (CTTE Live is actually called Progeny; the long version is 7 full shows)

Say what you want about the band, I enjoyed the last 2 sets with the DVD's. I like the atypical set list as well so I'll most definitely pick this one up.

This is a pretty cruddy Yes, but Tony Kaye is back, at least temporarily for a tour next year. Not sure if Downes is out or focused on Asia, or playing with Tony.

yeah just heard about that. Tony will be on the CTTE 2018. Not sure what Yes members are on board at this point with the death in Steve Howe's family.

I'm definitely passing on this one. Might as well call it a Steve Howe solo album. At this point, the best outcome would be Howe, Wakerman, & Anderson; with either White or Buford (if he can still play) on drums & probably Tony Levin on bass.
