Yes

In September 1977, Yes was riding high on the success of their album "Going for the One," which had just been released a month prior. This live recording from The Forum in Inglewood showcases the band at a pivotal moment in their career, blending their signature progressive rock sound with the energy of a live audience. A fascinating tidbit about this performance is that it captures the band's evolution during a time when they were experimenting with more accessible songwriting while retaining their intricate musicianship. The fact that the recording is an audience capture, particularly by the renowned taper Mike Millard, adds a layer of authenticity, providing listeners a taste of the excitement and atmosphere that surrounded a Yes concert in the late '70s. This was a transitional era for the band, marking the shift toward a more integrated sound that would flesh out their future albums.
