Yes

In July 1970, Yes was riding a wave of creative momentum post the release of their third album, *The Yes Album*. This record marked a significant evolution in their sound, showcasing their shift towards more complex, progressive compositions. The gig captured at the Lyceum Ballroom is particularly notable as it stands as not just their seventh live recording but also the inaugural live performance of their *Yes Album* tour. This era was crucial for the band; they were beginning to forge their identity, blending intricate musical structures with innovative lyrics. What’s intriguing about this show is that it was captured during a period when Yes was still establishing their presence in the rock world. Fans often consider it one of the most infamous bootlegs, not only for its historical significance but also for the energy that radiated from the performance, laying the groundwork for their eventual rise to legendary status.
