Yes

Back in March 1970, when Yes graced the BBC John Peel show with their vibrant energy, the band was riding high on the waves of their self-titled debut album, released in 1969. At this early stage, they were still carving out their unique identity in the progressive rock scene, showcasing their complex compositions and harmonious vocals. The live recording of “For Everyone” not only highlights the group’s raw talent but also marks a pivotal moment in their evolution as artists. Interestingly, this performance was later included in the compilation "The Word Is Live," capturing their dynamic live presence. During these formative years, Yes was already experimenting with intricate melodies and thought-provoking lyrics, a hallmark of their style that would only deepen as they grew. It’s fascinating to see how this early performance helped set the stage for the legendary status they would achieve in rock history. What a thrilling ride it must have been for them back then!
