Yes

Back in November 1969, when Yes graced the French TV screens with their performance of "Beyond And Before," the band was just starting to carve out its niche in the progressive rock scene. This live recording came shortly after the release of their self-titled debut album, "Yes," which had dropped earlier that same year. Although it wasn't a commercial blockbuster, it showcased the band’s unique blend of intricate musicianship and soaring harmonies, setting the stage for their future success. Interestingly, this live performance reflects the band’s early experimentation and vocal prowess, with lead singer Jon Anderson’s ethereal voice shining brightly. This was a period of discovery for Yes, and it’s fascinating to see them already embracing the theatricality that would become a hallmark of their live shows. Fast forward, and that early magic would pave the way for Yes to create some of the most memorable and ambitious music in rock history.
