Yes Concert in Belgium: I See You Performance from 1969
Venue: Champ appartenant à un fermier
Location: Amougies, Hainaut, Belgium
Date: October 27, 1969
In late 1969, when Yes performed live in Belgium on October 27, they were riding high on the momentum of their self-titled debut album, released that year. To put it in perspective, this was a time when the band was still carving out its identity in the progressive rock scene, blending elements of psychedelia and classical music into a sound that was fresh and innovative. The remarkable energy in their live performances, like the one captured in "I See You," showcased their evolving musicianship and dynamic stage presence. Interestingly, despite being relatively new to the scene, they were already gaining attention for their ambitious arrangements and tightly-knit harmonies. This particular concert, not widely seen until now, highlights a raw stage energy that would only deepen as the band progressed in their career, laying the groundwork for future classics and their eventual rise to fame. Can you imagine the vibe of those early gigs, filled with anticipation and exploration?
