Yes

In December 1977, Yes was riding high on the success of their album *Going for the One*, released just months earlier that July. This period marked a significant transition for the band, blending their progressive rock roots with more accessible sounds, which wowed audiences and led to exhilarating live performances. The recording from Boston Garden captures this essence perfectly, showcasing that powerful energy. What makes this performance truly special is Steve Howe's exhilarating guitar solo in “Yours Is No Disgrace,” which fans often regard as a hallmark of his genius. Not only does the crowd's enthusiasm resonate through the audio, but it also serves as a nostalgic reminder of the band's status in the late '70s as they were transitioning from elaborate concepts to more streamlined compositions, while still thrilling fans with their intricate musicianship. It was an exciting time, as Yes was shaping their legacy and forging new musical paths.
