Yes

Let’s take a trip back to March 12, 1973, the date of Yes's electrifying performance in Osaka. By this time, Yes was riding high on the success of their groundbreaking album *Close to the Edge*, which had been released just six months earlier in September 1972. This album not only solidified their place in the progressive rock genre but also showcased their evolving musical sophistication, marked by extended compositions and poetic lyrics. Interestingly, this Osaka show was part of their first major tour since the album dropped, making it a pivotal moment in their career. The band was delivering powerful renditions of tracks like "Siberian Khatru" and "Heart," reminding fans and critics alike why they were dubbed pioneers. In fact, this performance captured the spirit of their creative peak, a vibrant era when they blended complex musical structures with dynamic live energy, ensuring an unforgettable experience for everyone present.
