Like It Is: Yes at the Bristol Hippodrome is a live album by English progressive rock band Yes, released for CD and DVD on 8 December 2014 (U.K.) and 9 December 2014 (U.S.) on Frontiers Records.
Overview
Like It Is: Yes at the Bristol Hippodrome is a partial recording of the Yes show on 11 May 2014 at the Bristol Hippodrome as a part of their 2013–14 Three Album Tour. Indeed, the recording features only two of the albums, Going for the One (1977) and The Yes Album (1971) played live in their entirety.[1][2] Thus, the Close to the Edge album is missing.
It is the band's first live album featuring lead vocalist Jon Davison and keyboardist Geoff Downes in the band's line-up. Downes previously featured on three tracks of the 3-CD set The Word Is Live, released in 2005.
A sequel, titled Like It Is: Yes at the Mesa Arts Center and featuring the albums Close To The Edge and Fragile was released in July 2015.
