Today (May 18) marks 50 years since the release of the triple-live vinyl of Yessongs. My favourite album of all time (bit of a cheat I know, as it's like three albums rolled into one), and yes, the audio was (and always has been) poor, but the power and speed of the live versions show how great they were in concert back then (and I have a vague memory of that too, from March '73 when they came to Oz). And not to forget Roger Dean's stunning artwork, posters of which adorned my bedroom walls back then.
So Happy Fiftieth Birthday to Yessongs, and my gratitude for being around all these years to enjoy it.
