Yes

I didn’t get into Yes til rather late in the game, even though I loved King Crimson and ELP and various English and European prog rock outfits. While ‘Fragile’ came out in 1971, I don’t think I heard it until a year later, and ‘Close To The Edge’ also came out without my knowledge in 1972. 

However, in 1973, they released the live 3-LP set ‘Yessongs’, which was a live ‘Best Of’, so I got to know their music mostly from that. Later in ’73, they released the 2-LP ‘Tales of Topographic Oceans’ after I’d moved to San Francisco, and they played 2 nights at Winterland in October or November, so that was my first Yesshow. 

I saw them several times after that, but just took pictures at this one in 1977, which was at the Oakland Coliseum Arena.
