TUNES FOR THE POST APOCALYPSE
A brilliant live performance of “Roundabout”:

On this day in 1971, the Yes LP “Fragile” debuted on the UK Albums Chart at #7 (December 4)
The prog rock combo’s fourth studio album was their first to feature their new keyboard player Rick Wakeman, who replaced Tony Kaye after the group had finished touring their breakthrough record, “The Yes Album” (1971).
Keyboard prodigy Wakeman was only 22 at the time, but was already a highly-rated session musician, and had worked with UK band the Strawbs.
Due to budget and time constraints, four tracks on the album are group arrangements; the remaining five are short solo pieces by each band member.
The opening track, "Roundabout", of course, went on to become a Yes classic.
The distinctive artwork for the album was the band's first to be designed by Roger Dean, who would go on to design many of their future covers.
On the charts, “Fragile” went to #4 in the US, #6 in Canada, #7 in the UK, #8 in the Netherlands, #22 in Japan, and #29 in Australia.
