Yes

In April 1973, when Yes performed at the Alexander Memorial Coliseum in Atlanta, Georgia, they were riding high on the waves of their acclaimed album *Fragile*, released in late 1971, and *Close to the Edge,* which hit the shelves just ahead of the live recording. These albums cemented their place in the progressive rock pantheon, showcasing their intricate musicianship, lyrical depth, and the iconic vocal style of Jon Anderson. The live performance captured in the film is particularly noteworthy because it highlights Yes during this golden era of creativity and experimentation, as the band was still basking in the success of chart-topping hits like “Roundabout.” Watching the footage, it's fascinating to witness not just their technical prowess, but also the energy they shared on stage, with Chris Squire's captivating bass lines and Steve Howe's mesmerizing guitar work. This era truly marked a pivotal moment in Yes's career as they defined the sound that would both influence and inspire countless musicians in the years to come.
