Yes ‘Symphonic Live’ to get deluxe reissue

Blu-ray/2CD and a 4 LP package are due in January

For over 50 years, Yes has stood at the forefront of rock, defined by their unmatched craftsmanship, creativity, and innovation, creating symphonic masterpieces that continue to inspire. On January 23, 2026, Mercury Studios is proud to release Yes Symphonic Live, an outstanding 14-song live collection filmed in high definition. Vocalist Jon Anderson, bassist Chris Squire, lead guitarist Steve Howe and drummer Alan White recreated the dramatic intensity of their 2001 album Magnification, the first Yes album without keyboards and the last Yes album with Anderson.

Touring to support their symphonic album Magnification, they hit the road in 2001 with a new approach to their live set. They called in the help of the European Festival Orchestra, conducted by Wilhelm Keitel, to add lush new textures to their live set, essentially bringing the spirit of their new album to life on the stage. Not only did they play tracks from Magnification, but re-imagined interpretations of their timeless hits. Classics such as “Owner Of A Lonely Heart,” “Long Distance Runaround,” and “I’ve Seen All Good People” have never sounded so grand.

Previously released as a 2-DVD set and Blu-ray, Symphonic Live highlights the expansive nature of Yes’ music backed with a full symphony orchestra. The special edition reissue of Symphonic Live is packaged in a CD-sized clamshell box including the Blu-ray and 2 CDs, each housed in their own slipcase, along with a booklet, fold-out poster and five art cards.

The 4 LP is pressed on 180-gram vinyl and mastered at half-speed. The nearly half-hour-long epic “Ritual (Nous Sommes du Soleil)” is featured on vinyl for the first time. Symphonic Live features seven sides of music, along with an etching on the B-side of LP 4. Extras on Symphonic Live Blu-ray include the promotional video for “Don’t Go” and a 30-minute documentary, Dreamtime.
