Early last year, prog legends Yes toured the America’s and performed their 1980 album Drama in its entirety, together with sides one and four of their 1973 classic Tales from Topographic Oceans. A new live album, Topographic Drama: Live Across America, features recordings from this tour.
This live release – which also includes some fan favourites like Roundabout and Starship Trooper – has audio taken from 12 dates recorded in February 2017, by the current Yes line-up: Steve Howe (guitars), Alan White (drums), Geoff Downes (keyboards), Billy Sherwood (bass), Jon Davison (vocals), and additional drummer for this tour Jay Schellen.
This set will be available on double CD and as a 3LP vinyl package, with cover and design by – you guessed it – Roger Dean.
Topographic Drama: Live Across America will be issued by Rhino on 24th November 2017.
