Yes

In November 1976, Yes was riding high on the success of their album "Going for the One," which would release in 1977. But here's a neat detail: the band was already experimenting with their sound as early as "Close to the Edge," pushing the boundaries of progressive rock. The live performance of "Awaken" in Glasgow captures a defining moment in their career, showcasing the musical ingenuity and intricate arrangements that Yes became famous for. This period marked a time of renewal for the band as they began to shift towards a sound that incorporated more accessibility without losing their complex roots. Fans often recall the energy and emotional depth in their live performances, and this Glasgow concert exemplifies that perfectly. It’s fascinating to think about how they were not just playing notes; they were evolving as artists, resonating with audiences while carving out their musical identity.
