Description by OLDIES.com:

The most successful, influential, and enduring progressive rock group ever, Yes-still powered by founding members-has expanded the frontiers of musical consiousness for over 30 years. Revered for instrumental virtuosity and bravura vocals in a signature sound fusing rock, classical, pop, folk, metal, and more, their artistically adventurous albums are matched in renown by the brilliance of their live concert spectacles. The Word Is Live presents three sonically stellar discs spotlighting some of their most memorable shows, capturing their exciting stylistic evolutions, and highlighting several of the band's legendary lineups.
