Yes - Live in Boston - Full Concert featuring 'I'm Down'

Venue: Boston Garden Location: Boston, Massachusetts, United States Date: June 18, 1976

In June 1976, when Yes took the stage at Boston Garden, they were on a high from the phenomenal success of their album *Fragile*, released six years prior, and the even more ambitious *Close to the Edge* from 1972, which solidified their place in progressive rock history. Just before this live recording, they had also released *Going for the One* in 1977, showcasing their evolving sound. Interestingly, this concert stands out not just for its iconic performances but also for featuring a rare live rendition of "I'm Down," a Beatles cover that hadn’t been frequently played, adding a unique twist to their typically original setlist. At this point in their career, Yes was not just riding the wave of progressive rock; they were redefining it, with complex arrangements and show-stopping musicianship that truly captivated the audience. Can you just imagine the excitement in that arena as they experienced it live?
