Captured on June 17, 1976 at Roosevelt Stadium in Jersey City, this newly released concert documents Yes at full mid-’70s strength—bold, exploratory, and firing on all cylinders. Performing to a massive open-air crowd during their 1976 North American tour, the band delivers expansive arrangements, virtuosic interplay, and the unmistakable sense of scale that defined Yes as one of progressive rock’s greatest live acts.

Fifty years ago, as the nation marked its Bicentennial, a legendary soundtrack was hitting turntables across the country. Now, as America prepares to celebrate its Semiquincentennial, Rhino announces its Spirit of ’76 summer vinyl reissue campaign.

Launching July 17, the campaign will roll out in weekly waves available exclusively at Rhino and through select independent retailers. The 23-album lineup spans the 1976 musical landscape, bringing together everything from Bootsy Collins and Black Sabbath to ZZ Top and Linda Ronstadt.

The campaign touches on studio albums like Bad Company’s Run with the Pack and Chicago’s X, alongside essential hits collections from Jethro Tull and the Monkees. The list also highlights multiple concert recordings, including the Grateful Dead’s Steal Your Face (50th Anniversary Edition), the double albums Live at the Roxy, 1976 by the Ramones and Blow Your Face Out by The J. Geils Band, as well as Yes’s 3LP Live at Roosevelt Stadium, Jersey City, NJ (6/17/76).

The Spirit of ’76 also features releases from the Rhino Reserve premium vinyl series, including Todd Rundgren’s Faithful, Gordon Lightfoot’s Summertime Dream, and Faces’ Snakes and Ladders / The Best of Faces. These versions are cut from the original analog masters by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab and pressed on 180-gram vinyl at Fidelity Record Pressing in Oxnard, California.
