Why don't they actually do this? They must have tapes from nearly all of their past tours.
For a start they should release the Wembley stuff that was played on the radio.

What tour would you like an offical cd release that doesn't have one seems simple enough...
The Current lineup is Chris Squire Alan White Geoff Downes Steve Howe and Jon Davison and according to Geoff Downes who told me personally they WILL RELEASE A NEW ALBUM NEXT SPRING. END OF DISCUSSION
B.D.O.E.S
Don't see how you can say Yessongs doesn't count, and the In The Present tour got an official release. TYA tour is pretty well covered on The Word Is Live.
I'll vote Tales.

id love to have a CD of the Relayer and solos tours because I feel that was the time when the band was playing at their very best, also the FFH tour (with some tracks featuring Benoit ie. Tempus Fugit and the FFH suite and the rest Davison) because I feel that despite my preference of Jon over Benoit- Benoit is better at the Drama and FFH material IMO
listen, should we fight forever?

B.D.O.E.S
The Drama Tour especially if its a soundboard recording of the Boston Garden show. The only soundboard or FM recording to come out of this tour is a not so great incomplete FM recording from Madison Square Garden. From an interview that year Steve said they were going to record shows for inclusion on the live album that would become Yesshows but this never happened so I'm hoping the tapes are still around.
I'd really like one representative soundboard quality recording from every tour from Yes all the way through Talk. The problem with the official live releases of the 70s material is that none of them are complete shows. I want complete shows.
Solos, Drama and Fly From Here tours.
Listen to a U.S. show (recommend Boston Garden). It was the UK tour when Trev started to lose his voice and add in the rude UK audience and you got a bad mixture.
A complete show I strongly recommend is the 1976 gig at Roosevelt Stadium. I think the tours that so far haven't had any soundboard or FM recordings (minus the early tours) is Tales, GFTO (except for poor soundboard from a Scotland show), Drama (except for incomplete MSG show), and the two current tours. Most of the other tours have had soundboard recordings, FM recordings, live DVD's and CD's. Of course these recordings aren't always of great quality. I haven't come across a 90125 recording that I was pleased with the sound quality and I'm hoping for a complete release of a show to hear the older Yes songs that weren't in the video.The problem with the official live releases of the 70s material is that none of them are complete shows. I want complete shows.
A while ago I said they should do Yes deluxe Editions. Have the first disc be the album along with outtakes, demos, alt. takes / mixes, etc. and the second disc be a live recording from the accompanying tour. Black Sabbath did this with their recent re-releases and ABC's Lexicon of Love had a 1982 concert included in its deluxe edition.

Probably a soundboard complete concert of the Going For The One tour. Tales tour complete soundboard would be second and the latest tour would be interesting just to hear Jon Davsion sing his interpretations of the Yes catalog.
I don't know what the Tomoto Tour is but I would say the Tormato Tour
Everything from TFTO to GFTO.
There are complete shows from '76, but that's no longer the Relayer Tour, and TBO had been dropped by then.
Yesshows attended (22): 4/84, 1/88, 7/91 (x2), 8/94, 8/98, 10/99, 8/00, 8/01, 8/02, 10/02, 4/04, 5/04, 9/04 (x2), 12/08, 7/09, 6/10, 3/11 (x2), 7/12, 4/13 || Yes member gigs: Steve solo 00 [w/GTR 86], [w/Asia 92, 07 (x2), 09, 12] | Jon & Alan charity gig 99 | Alan drum clinic 89 | Bill drum clinics 83 & 85 [w/Crimso 95] | Patrick solo 98, 11 [w/Moodies 86 (x2), 88] | Rick solo 03, 09 | Geoff [w/Asia 92, 07 (x2), 09, 12]
I would like to hear Tales performed live from beginning to end. So I voted for Tales, but also wouldn't mind hearing a Drama tour show.
I saw them in Minneapolis in spring of 1979, in the round, didn't really think it was all that, have since watched the crappy video from 79 Philly and confirmed that is not my favorite period. I think it was billed as their 10th anniversary tour.
Hipsters, tripsters, real cool chicks, sir
'Cause everyone's doin' that rag
'71, '73, '75, '76, '77, '78, '87, '94, '97, '00, & '12 (summer) Respectively.
Relayer and solos tour. Amazing tours. You just had to be there..
One from each tour, with an attempt not to duplicate the most common Yesfan traded shows. May as well dream...

I'd really enjoy a live CD that gets most of the 90125-Big Generator songs. So I guess we'd be talking the Big Generator tour, where one would think they'd have played a lot of both, or even an album that included some material from the 90125 tour and some from the Big Generator tour. They could reach forward to Union and Talk if they needed audio for a song from 90125 or Big Generator that they didn't capture on those specific tours.
I mean, honestly, I like the 70s classics a lot, but they are fairly well documented on numerous official live releases, both contemporaneous, and with later later lineups doing the songs from that time period. I think you could probably find yourself almost a dozen official versions of "Roundabout" if you wanted to.![]()
