This week, we dive into the brand‑new Yes Symphonic Live box set — a massive 2026 release built around the band’s 2001 Magnification tour, featuring Jon, Chris, Steve, Alan, and Tom Brislin backed by a full orchestra. We explore the sweeping arrangements, the emotional lift of the symphonic versions, and how these performances breathe new life into classic Yes.
