Anecdotes

Yessongs is a concert film by the English progressive rock band Yes. It was recorded at the Rainbow Theatre, London on 15 and 16 December 1972 during the band's Close to the Edge Tour, and features the line-up of Jon Anderson, Chris Squire, Steve Howe, Rick Wakeman, and Alan White. The video was produced by David Speechley, directed by Peter Neal, and co-edited by Howe's brother Philip. The film was arranged at short notice, which affected the quality of filming as a result, and originally a private memento for the band to document their two performances at the Rainbow before they agreed for its theatrical release.

Background

In July 1972, Yes kicked off the Close to the Edge Tour in support of their fifth studio album Close to the Edge, which was released in September of that year. The tour marked the debut of drummer Alan White, who replaced original member Bill Bruford, who left after Close to the Edge was recorded to join King Crimson.

In March 1975, Yes concluded negotiations with Ellman Film Enterprises and Aion Films to have the film theatrically released in the US and Canada.
