Yes

Oh, what a time it was for Yes around that January night in 1977! Just before this live recording at the Apollo Theatre in Glasgow, Yes had released "Close to the Edge" in 1972, an album that stands as a cornerstone of progressive rock. However, they were also in a transitional phase—having just dropped "Going for the One" a few months prior in July 1977. This album saw them shifting towards a more melodic sound while retaining their iconic complexity. Did you know that "Going for the One" was their first album featuring drummer Alan White, who joined the band after their legendary "Fragile" era? In this concert, they beautifully capture the essence of their virtuosic musicianship, mingling mesmerizing harmonies and intricate instrumentals that their fans adored. It's fascinating how that period marked not only celebrated successes but also a reinvigoration of their creative spirit. Can you imagine the energy in that theater? The crowd, the band, the music—it must’ve been electric!
