Description
Yes – In The Beginning Volume 2 (2021, London Calling label) is a compilation CD capturing two rare live performances from 1970. The first set, recorded at Sporthalle in Cologne on April 3rd, features the original lineup with Peter Banks. The second, from Belgian TV in Brussels on September 4th, showcases Steve Howe stepping into the fold. Though the audio fidelity varies — with the Cologne set notably rough — the disc offers a compelling glimpse into Yes’s formative years, blending psychedelic textures with emerging prog complexity. The digisleeve packaging includes liner notes sourced from vintage Melody Maker and Beat Instrumental articles.
