Yes

In July 2003, Yes performed at the Montreux Jazz Festival, marking their first appearance at this prestigious event, despite a long-standing connection to the town where they had previously recorded. Prior to this live recording, Yes released "Magnification" in 2001, an album notable for being the first since 1978 to feature an orchestral arrangement, emphasizing the band's progressive rock roots. At the time of the Montreux performance, Yes was experiencing a resurgence, having reestablished their lineup with long-time members such as Jon Anderson and Steve Howe. The performance of "Awaken" at Montreux showcases the band’s intricate musical style and their ability to captivate audiences, particularly with this song that is well-loved by fans for its elaborate structure and thematic depth. This concert reflects Yes's commitment to continuing their legacy as innovators in the rock genre, even after decades in the industry.
