This database was composed from first hand reports, magazines, past NFTE's, and bootlegs. Each entry lists the date, city, venue, capacity, lineup, the setlist (when available), notes on the particular show, between song dialog transcripts, official recordings (audio and/or video) and bootlegs (audio and/or video) if available. This site also contains many graphics including tourbooks.

'City' names are based off the actual mailing address of the venue rather than the implied city.
'Capacity' does not reflect the actual number of people in the audience but rather what the venue itself claims it can hold. This is to give an idea of what size venues Yes were playing at the time.
'Setlist' entries that are underlined indicates that the song isn't listed on the previous *known* setlist.
'Unofficial Recording' entries do not have an opinion on how a bootleg sounds for a particular show. I've discovered that they are just that..opinions!

The dates of the shows where compiled from Steve Sullivan's "Yes Gig List From 1968-1980" with special thanks to Paul Cobb with help on the 1968-1970 tourdates and Karl Speck with help on the 1971-1972 tourdates. The dates for the 90125, BG, and ABWH tours came from fellow Yesheads submitting dates and the Yes Rarities list (with a special thanks to Shoji Yamada, Eduardo Paulo, Eddie Lee and John Huebner for help with the ABWH dates, mega thanks to John Huebner and Shoji Yamada for the BG dates and one last thanks to Steve Wehner and John Huebner for big help with the 90125 dates.) The Union Tour, Talk Tour, SLO Shows, Know Tour, OYE Tour, TL Tour, Masterworks Tour, Magnification Tour, 2002/FC Tour and 35th Tour where taken from NFTE, Yesworld and the kind folks at "alt.music.yes".

David Dunnington & Shoji Yamada for giving me permission to use "The Complete Guide to Yes BBC Sessions"
Shoji Yamada whose devotion to this site will always be appreciated.
Paul Cobb for his 'squinting' skills and all the valuable work on the early tourdates. It's most appreciated.
Eddie Lee who went way beyond the normal call of duty and put in an unbelievable amount of time and energy scanning and transcribing almost all of the tourbooks that are located in this archive.
Michele Marie who really helped a bunch in my transcribing project by sending CDs full of MP3s and giving great advice to help out.
Karl Speck who put in a lot of work and research to get the 'Fragile' and 'Close To The Edge' dates in working order.
Mario Colonnese who gave info/photos of all the vinyl bootlegs.

Greg and Nate without their generosity, I would have never heard or seen many wonderful Yes shows.
