Favorite Yes Album (pop, album, fan, cover, tracks)

I went with CTTE because I still give it a spin every year or so. There was a time in the 70's that I really loved YES. The last great YES show I saw was the Going For The One tour. The In The Round tour was so-so and that was in 78 or 79. I did not see another Yes show until 99 (?) at the Warfield in SF with Howe, Squire, Anderson, Wakeman and not sure who sat behind the kit? It was fun but not earth shaking. By far the best YES related disc I have heard in years is Steve Howe" Portraits of Bob Dylan ". The guitar work is masterful with a splendid mix of Tommorow and YES. It also boasts vocals by P.P Arnold, Annie Haslem, Phoebe Snow, Keith West among others. But the main reason I am posting is because I have meet folks that saw the 77 tour at different venues and we all agree that weirdness followed that tour.It was not your usual Walk on the Rings of Saturn ! It was the shows with Donovan opening. Any others out there with any reports from the Cosmos?
