Yes

In the summer of 1989, Yes was in somewhat of a transition phase, marking a unique period in their storied career. Just prior to this live recording at Shoreline Amphitheatre, the band released the album "Big Generator" in 1987, which demonstrated their continued evolution while exploring a more polished sound. By the time of this iconic performance, Yes had shifted around members and was operating under the name "Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe," often referred to as ABWH, which allowed them to reconnect with their progressive rock roots. This configuration melded the talents of key Yes members and offered fresh interpretations of classic tracks, including "Close to the Edge," which was delivered in spectacular form during this live set. The venue itself—known for its acoustics and vibrant atmosphere—added to the magic of the evening. Yes's ability to adapt and surprise audiences, even decades into their career, speaks volumes about their enduring legacy in the world of music.
