Yes — Roosevelt Stadium Jersey City 17 June 1976

Triple LP features art etching on LP3 Side B

Yes celebrates the 50th anniversary of one of its most storied performances on July 17 with Live At Roosevelt Stadium, Jersey City, 17 June 1976. The live album's first official release arrives on the heels of the band's new studio album, Aurora, debuting on June 12.

On June 17, 1976, the formidable Relayer lineup of Yes — Jon Anderson, Steve Howe, Chris Squire, Alan White, and Patrick Moraz — performed in front of a capacity crowd at Roosevelt Stadium in Jersey City, NJ. The quintet was captured mid-tour during a live broadcast on New York's WNEW-FM. While the performance has remained one of the band's most popular bootlegs for decades, this release marks its first official appearance.

The recording finds the band at a creative peak during the "Solo Albums Tour." Following the success of Relayer (1974), the members spent 1975 recording five individual solo projects; this 1976 tour was the first time these new arrangements were integrated into the live set. The performance balances full-band epics such as "The Gates Of Delirium" and "Ritual" with staples like "Siberian Khatru" and "Heart Of The Sunrise." The set also features rare individual spotlights for Anderson's ethereal selections from Olias of Sunhillow and Moraz's rhythmic explorations from The Story of I, alongside Howe's acoustic signature, "Clap." The performance concludes with a rare rendition of "I'm Down," a high-energy classic originally by The Beatles.
