Yes

In December 1973, when Yes performed at the Empire Theatre in Edinburgh, they had recently released their ambitious double album, "Tales from Topographic Oceans." This record, which followed the commercially successful "Fragile" and "Close to the Edge," showcased a shift towards a more conceptual and adventurous sound—a hallmark of progressive rock at the time. Interestingly, this live recording captures Yes during a phase of intense creativity, as they were striving to push boundaries, often experimenting with complex arrangements and philosophical themes. At this particular show, fans might notice that only part of "Ritual (Nous sommes du soleil)" is played, serving as a reminder of the band’s dynamic and sometimes unpredictable live performances. Their passion and musicianship created a unique atmosphere, making each concert a memorable experience, essential for fans of both Yes and the genre.
