Yes

Back in 1977, Yes was riding a wave of creativity as they embraced a more streamlined and accessible sound with their album "Going for the One." Released just a few months before the Glasgow concert, this record marked a shift for the band, moving from their elaborate, progressive roots to something fresher and more melodic. The album featured the iconic track “Wondrous Stories,” showcasing their ability to marry complexity with catchy motifs. There's something truly special about this era—this live recording from Glasgow captures the band during a thrilling time, as they were not only headlining impressive venues but also enjoying a resurgence with this album. Plus, it's fascinating how the creative process behind live performances, like the mashup of multiple shows that heated up their 1977 tour, was driven by fan engagement and a desire to share the experience. Isn’t it striking how such performances encapsulate the raw energy and synergy between the band and their audience?
