The Album That Tore Yes Apart | Big Generator Documentary – Episode 1

In 1987, YES released Big Generator — the explosive follow-up to 90125 that split fans, critics, and even the band itself. This documentary (Episode 1) dives into the creative battles, lineup tensions, and industry pressure behind one of prog rock’s most misunderstood albums. From Trevor Rabin’s clash of visions to Jon Anderson’s fight to keep the band’s identity alive, this is the untold story of how YES tried to survive the MTV era. Discover how success, ego, and relentless touring nearly tore the band apart during the making of Big Generator. 🎬 Episode 1 of a multi-part series on YES in the late ’80s. 🔔 Subscribe for more deep-dive documentaries on YES, Led Zeppelin, ELP, Genesis, and beyond.#yes #yesband #trevorrabin #jonanderson #generator #80smusic #documentary #classicrock #progressiverock #chrissquire #atlanticrecords This video is presented for educational, documentary, and analytical purposes.
