YES celebrated the band’s 50th anniversary over the course of 2018 with an extensive tour that included shows in Europe, North America and Japan. The Rock and Roll Hall of Famers present a double live album that was recorded during the group’s anniversary tour.

YES 50 LIVE released via Rhino. The cover of YES 50 LIVE was painted by Roger Dean, whose artwork and trademark calligraphy are synonymous with the band’s identity. The CD and vinyl versions both come with an eight-page booklet that includes photographs from the tour taken by the Gottlieb Brothers.
