Yes

On August 5, 1977, Yes performed at Madison Square Garden, capturing an electrifying moment in their evolution as a band. This concert came shortly after the release of their album *Going for the One*, which marked a significant turning point for the band. Not only did it showcase a return to a more concise song format, but it also highlighted their continued experimentation with blending complex arrangements and catchy melodies. Interesting tidbit? *Going for the One* was the first album to feature new keyboardist Patrick Moraz, who replaced Rick Wakeman. This change brought a fresh dynamic to their live performances. It’s fascinating how each show, like the one in New York, was a pivotal moment for Yes, highlighting their ability to engage audiences with virtuosic skill and emotion. The energy from the crowd that night must have been electric, ensuring that the spirit of progressive rock was alive and well in the late '70s!
