Yes

Ah, Yes—what a landmark band in the progressive rock universe! By March 10, 1972, when they played that electrifying show in San Francisco during the *Fragile* tour, they were really on the rise. Just a few months earlier, they had released *Fragile*, which showcased their signature blend of intricate melodies and expansive musicianship. This album was pivotal, giving us classics like “Roundabout” and “Long Distance Runaround.” It's interesting to note that *Fragile* was the first Yes album to feature the iconic keyboardist Rick Wakeman, whose virtuoso playing added a whole new depth to their sound. That addition was truly transformative and showcased their knack for blending complex harmonies with compelling lyrics—all of which played out beautifully at this live concert. Fans still rave about the facilities' acoustics in San Francisco during that era; can you imagine being in that audience, immersed in such a groundbreaking performance? Truly, a moment etched in rock history!
