Yes: Live – 1975 at Q.P.R.
live album
Yes: Live – 1975 at Q.P.R. is a video release of a 1975 concert by the group Yes at Queens Park Rangers' Loftus Road stadium in England. Some of the footage was originally broadcast on The Old Grey Whistle Test. The performance was available for many years as a bootleg before former Yes manager Brian Lane co-ordinated a 1993 two-volume VHS release and a Japanese two-Laserdisc release without any input from the band. In 2001, the video was released on a two-disc DVD set.
In 2021, a 4CD "Deluxe Edition" of the concert was announced through a leaflet included on the Union 30 Live limited edition boxset, to be released under Takeaway Records, but so far nothing has come of it.
Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Yes: Live – 1975 at Q.P.R.” is live album. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Live, live and album, not as a finished interpretation.
Why this record matters
The phrase “live album” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Attribution, date and provenance are strongest when supported by the original work, a catalogue record and documented transmission. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 20, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q836678. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1975, 1993, 2001 and 2021.
Titles can refer to several editions, objects or performances, making precise identification essential before interpretation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
