Yes

Back in 1970, Yes was truly hitting their stride, navigating the vibrant waters of progressive rock following the release of their third studio album, "The Yes Album." This masterpiece featured defining tracks like "Yours Is No Disgrace" and "The Clap," showcasing the band's intricate musicianship and unique sound. "Yes - Live in Plumpton" captures a pivotal moment during "The Yes Album Tour," a time when the band's popularity was surging, and their innovative spirit began to resonate widely with audiences. It’s so cool to see them at the National Jazz & Blues Festival, right when they were solidifying their identity—a blend of lush melodies and complex arrangements. Notably, this live recording also highlights the young lineup, including the talents of Jon Anderson and Steve Howe, who were essential in shaping the band's distinct sound. Those performances were as much about the music as they were about connecting with the audience; it was an electrifying turning point in their career!
