Yes - Full Concert Live in Jersey City - Featuring I'm Down

Venue: Roosevelt Stadium Location: Jersey City, New Jersey, United States Date: June 17, 1976

In June 1976, Yes was riding a significant wave of success, having just released their critically acclaimed album "Relayer." This record, launched in late 1974, showcased a new experimental edge with the epic track "The Gates of Delirium," which pushed the boundaries of progressive rock at the time. By the time they played at Roosevelt Stadium in Jersey City on June 17, 1976, Yes was deeply immersed in their solo projects and restructuring as a band during what fans referred to as the "Solo Album Tour," which highlighted individual members' works. A fascinating tidbit from that show is the rendition of "I'm Down," a track that was quite rare in their live performances. This concert not only exemplified their innovative sound but also represented a pivotal moment in their evolving journey, intertwining personal and collective artistic expression. Their live performances, known for their elaborate arrangements, perfectly captured the essence of their dynamic stage presence and musical ingenuity during that era.
