Yes

Ah, the early '70s—what a vibrant time for rock music! By March 1971, when Yes took to the stage at the Deutschlandhalle in Berlin, they had just released their third studio album, *The Yes Album*, earlier that year. This record marked a pivotal moment for the band, as it showcased their burgeoning progressive rock sound and solidified their identity with tracks like "Yours Is No Disgrace." The live performance you’ve stumbled upon captures a magical time in their career, especially as the band boldly covered Paul Simon's "America." Isn’t it fascinating how a single song can encapsulate a moment in time? This particular festival appearance was part of the 'London Now in Berlin' event, accentuating their growing inclination to blend intricate musicality with a more theatrical performance style. This live clip is not just a visual treasure but a snapshot of Yes in the throes of creative evolution, setting the stage for their legendary future.
