Yes

Back in 1974, Yes was riding high on the wave of their ambitious progressive rock sound, and the "Tales from Topographic Oceans Tour" encapsulated this era perfectly. Just before the Montreal gig on February 25, 1974, Yes released their double album *Tales from Topographic Oceans*, a project that stirred up quite a buzz—both for its audacious length and its complex themes inspired by the *Shastric* scriptures. This live performance showcased their intricate musicality and the band’s exceptional ability to translate elaborate studio compositions into captivating live experiences. Notably, *Tales from Topographic Oceans* was somewhat divisive among critics and fans, yet it has since developed a dedicated following, making performances from that tour legendary. The footage from this show gives us a glimpse into a turning point for the band, where they were beginning to expand their artistic horizons while navigating the ever-changing landscape of the music industry. What a trip it must have been for those lucky fans in Montreal!
