The two Fragile tour tracks ("Long Distance Runaround/The Fish" and "Perpetual Change") are the only tracks on the album to feature Yes's original drummer, Bill Bruford, who left the group after recording Close to the Edge. For that album's tour, Yes were joined by drummer Alan White, who remains with the band to this day. White was only three years into his career as a session drummer, but had already worked with such notable acts as The Plastic Ono Band and Joe Cocker.
The album opens with an excerpt from Igor Stravinsky's The Firebird, which has been a standard opening Yes concerts ever since. Later in the album, vocalist Jon Anderson briefly sings a passage from Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring.
The album also contains a medley of excerpts from Rick Wakeman's debut solo album The Six Wives of Henry VIII, and Wakeman's keyboards add much to the tracks when compared to the studio albums, particularly "Starship Trooper" and "Roundabout".
