Yes

In December 1972, Yes was in the midst of their "Close to the Edge" tour, a pivotal period in their career when their progressive rock sound was reaching new heights. The live recording from the Rainbow Theatre in London features the iconic track "Roundabout," which had originally appeared on their 1971 album "Fragile." This was a significant point for the band; "Close to the Edge," which would be released shortly thereafter in September 1972, represented a creative peak and showcased their evolving musical complexity. The performances during this era highlighted the band's virtuosic musicianship, as evident in their intricate arrangements and lengthy compositions. The live rendition of "Roundabout" not only captured the energy of their performances but also cemented the song's status as a classic in rock music. Yes was known for their elaborate stage presence and impressive musicianship, making this concert a memorable event in their storied history.
