After the recording of "Close to the Edge", and at the height of the band's success, Bruford quit the band to join King Crimson. He was replaced by former Plastic Ono Band drummer Alan White, a more conventional rock drummer and a distinct contrast to the jazz-influenced Bruford. White was brought into Yes several months before the release of "Close to the Edge". Their early touring with White was featured on their next release, the three-record live collection Yessongs, recorded on their world tour in late 1972 and early 1973. The album included two tracks with Bruford, notably the song "Perpetual Change" with an extended Bruford drum solo, as well as backing Chris Squire in his solo "The Fish", while White played drums on the rest of the tracks. The album features most of the material from the three previous albums. The performances are extremely tight and energetic, and that's really impressive when you think about the complexity of the material. The versions of "Close to the Edge", "Roundabout", "Perpetual Change" and "Yours is no Disgrace" bursts with power and energy. The addition of Wakeman's mellotron on the tracks from "The Yes Album" is also a very pleasant feature. Yessongs showcases Yes's ability to breathe new life into their songs in live performances which made them a top draw for concerts. Some songs are extended to almost double the length of their studio counterparts as well as given a more high-octane performance. User-contributed text is available unde
