Yes

Back in 1969, Yes was just starting to carve out a name for themselves in the progressive rock scene. Just before their performance at the Actuel Festival in Belgium on October 27, they released their self-titled debut album, "Yes," in July of the same year. Interestingly, this was a period of experimentation for the band, as they fused elements of rock, blues, and psychedelia, showcasing their nascent sound. The track "Every Little Thing," often overlooked, demonstrates their early prowess and harmonies—it hints at the complexity that would define their later works. During the live set at the festival, you can almost feel the excitement in the air; they were still honing their craft, but you can hear glimmers of the ambitious musical journey that lay ahead. It’s fascinating to think how this scrappy yet passionate performance foreshadowed their evolution into one of the most iconic bands in prog rock history!
