Yes

In February 1974, when Yes performed at the Alexander Memorial Coliseum in Atlanta, they were riding high on the wave of their ambitious double album, "Tales from Topographic Oceans." Released just months prior in December 1973, this album marked a bold venture into progressive rock, featuring sprawling tracks that connected deeply with fans and critics alike. Interestingly, "Tales" was a concept album inspired by the works of Eastern philosophy, which really showcased the band’s willingness to explore complex themes in their music. This particular live recording, filmed during the American leg of their tour, is heralded as one of the best live renditions from that era. Band members, including the iconic Jon Anderson and guitarist Steve Howe, were known for their energetic performances, adding a magical layer to a night that, according to reports, left the audience utterly spellbound. The legacy of this performance resonates with the passionate and intricate nature of their music, which continues to captivate listeners today.
