How many YES live albums do you own (not counting solo works)

[soundchaser09]

Just curious, I was never one for collecting live material generally speaking, but I actually do have a fair amount of Yes live albums (not too surprising really).

Yessongs
Yesshows
ABWH: An evening of Yes Music Plus
Keys to Ascension 1
Keys to Ascension 2
In the Present
Somethings Coming
Symphonic Live
YES 50 Live

[True]

I'd puchased every offficial live Yes release (plus ABWH and ARW) - up until Yes 50 Live. So I didn't purchase that one or The Royal Affair. I guess the last one I purchased was Topographic Drama.

I think that's all of the official live releases, but I have about 40-45 unofficial live albums on CD as well. I can't be bothered to count them all right now.

[Soundwaveseeker]

Probably easier to say which ones I DON'T own - the live Montreux one, Yessymphonic on CD but I have the DVD, maybe one other I forgot about. I pretty much have them all. Favorite ones are any and all the pre-Keys ones, House Of Yes, Progeny, The Word Is Live and Topographic Drama. The rest are cool to own too.

[Davy]

I've owned all of them at one point, but have traded in/deleted most of them now.

[cjreyes]

Between 30 and 40 or more, depending on how you want to count them...

I’m surprised by how many I do have - about a dozen. That seems excessive or even obsessive to me. I thought I had a life…

An Evening of Yes music + I even like Bill's electronic drums on this

In The Present: Live From Lyon- Benoît and the machine gun acoustic on Machine Messiah!!!

All 3 of the Magnification bonus discs feature one epic track recorded on the Masterworks tour in 2000 plus an orchestral Long Distance Runaround. Collect 'em all and burn a Masterworks CD-r:

Masterworks Live:

1) Close To The Edge
2) Gates Of Delirium
3) Ritual
4) Long Distance Runaround - 2001 bonus track

I had totally forgotten about those. Igor's 'boards are kinda low in the mix though, especially on Gates.

Also, I wonder who else remembers this one:
Around that same time, there was an online 'build your own' live album - you assembled a one-disc live album from a list of recent live tracks recorded the previous year on the Ladder tour. Then they mailed you the disc of the tracks you selected, the cd cover was the Ladder-era 'box' logo on an aqua-colored background which said 'masterworks' I think. I selected mostly Ladder tracks plus Yours Is No Disgrace to open it, Perpetual Change, and Cinema/Owner(which I think was one track). However, later all that stuff was released as House Of Yes by the end of the year, making the 'make-you-own-House Of Yes' disc kinda silly.

Does anyone remember that?
