Yes

In July 1971, Yes was in the midst of a transformative period, riding high on the success of their third studio album, *The Yes Album*. Released earlier that year, it showcased the band’s evolving sound, embracing a more progressive rock style. This new direction was a game-changer and laid the foundation for their future masterpieces. By the time they performed at the Yale Bowl in New Haven, Connecticut, for the *Yes Album* Tour, the band was solidifying its reputation as a formidable live act. Interestingly, this concert was a key moment in their ascent, featuring the energy of the original lineup—Jon Anderson, Steve Howe, Chris Squire, Bill Bruford, and Tony Kaye. It was during performances like this that fans were introduced to classics like "Yours Is No Disgrace," a track that perfectly encapsulated their ambitious musical flair. The vibrant atmosphere of the outdoor venue only added to the magic that night, carving a memorable chapter in Yes's storied history.
