Description

Pressed on 180 gram vinyl and mastered at half-speed, Symphonic Live features Yes performing with the European Festival Orchestra in November of 2001 in Amsterdam. The nearly half-hour long epic Ritual (Nous Sommes du Soleil) is featured on vinyl for the first time. Symphonic Live features 7 sides of music, along with an etching on the B-side of LP4.

Backed by a full symphony orchestra, lead guitarist Steve Howe, bassist Chris Squire, drummer Alan White and vocalist Jon Anderson, the band re-created the dramatic intensity of their 2001 album Magnification (the first Yes album with no keyboards and the last Yes album with Anderson).
