Yes

In April 1973, when Yes performed live at the Curtis Hixon Convention Hall in Tampa, they were at a pivotal moment in their career, having just released their critically acclaimed album, *Close to the Edge*. This album, considered a landmark in progressive rock, showcased their innovative sound and complex compositions, a hallmark of Yes's artistry. The band was riding high on the success of tracks like the title track "Close to the Edge," with its intricate melodies and thematic depth. Interestingly, this Tampa concert marks a significant point as it was the final live recording of the *Close to the Edge* tour, blending the band's mastery of musicianship with a passionate live audience. Just think about it—the energy in the room, the chemistry between the musicians, all on display in an incomplete recording that still resonates with fans today. Yes was truly at the forefront of a musical revolution, solidifying their legacy in the rock world during this extraordinary era.
