Yes

When Yes performed live in Brisbane on March 19, 1973, they were riding high on the success of their album "Close to the Edge," released just months earlier that September. This album marked a significant milestone in their career, showcasing their innovative blend of rock, jazz, and classical music elements, and it’s often hailed as one of the greatest progressive rock albums of all time. The band was known for its virtuosic musicianship and elaborate compositions, and this concert captured the intensity of their live performances perfectly. Interestingly, this recording also serves as one of the earliest documented live performances of the title track from "Close to the Edge," allowing fans to experience the raw energy that wowed audiences during that era. It’s fascinating to think about how this performance helped cement Yes's status as pioneers of progressive rock, pushing musical boundaries and shaping the genre for years to come.
