Progeny: Seven Shows From Seventy-Two
Symbolic image – for the detailed description and condition, please read the Item Details below.
By 1972, Yes had crystallized into something extraordinary—a five-piece engine of virtuosity and ambition that could transform a concert hall into a cathedral of sound. *Progeny* captures seven performances from that pivotal autumn, when Jon Anderson's soaring vocals, Chris Squire's melodic bass work, and Rick Wakeman's cathedral organ were reaching their creative peak. These were the shows supporting *Close to the Edge*, the band's masterwork, and you hear it here in full flower: the symphonic architecture of their arrangements, the way they could stretch a song into a journey without losing you, the genuine interplay between musicians operating at the highest level. Whether it's the delicate fingerpicking of "Mood for a Day" or the cascading complexity of "Close to the Edge" itself, this box set documents a band at the absolute zenith of their powers, before prog rock's excesses would eventually dim its initial brilliance. For anyone who's ever felt the pull of Yes's particular brand of instrumental virtuosity and emotional sweep, this is essential listening.
