YES – PROGENY: HIGHLIGHTS FROM SEVENTY-TWO (PROG/ROCK)

Capturing Yes at one of many turning points, Progeny and the abbreviated “highlights” CD are magnificent. I’d argue the band plays and sings better now in 2015 but the passion Jon Anderson, Chris Squire, Steve Howe, Rick Wakeman and Alan White bring in these recordings is incendiary. The recent Like It Is CD sets and movies are great, but the youthful energy and wild abandon found on Progeny tracks like “Yours is No Disgrace” in infectious and not captured on any other Yes recording. I’d suggest you go whole hog and buy the 14 disc box set. You deserve it.
