Yes

In the summer of 2002, Yes found themselves in the midst of a fascinating evolution. Just prior to their live performance at the Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View, California, the band released their album "Magnification" in 2001. This was a unique offering, as it showcased a lush orchestral sound, quite different from their earlier, more traditional progressive rock styles. It marked the band's first album without their longtime collaborator, keyboardist Rick Wakeman, which was significant for both the band and their devoted fans. The live recording itself captures the essence of their sound during this period, allowing listeners to experience the intricate musicianship and dynamic energy that characterizes Yes's performances. What's particularly interesting is that the concert represented a revitalization for Yes, showcasing their ability to adapt and thrive as a band that has weathered many changes over the decades.
