Yes

In August 1978, Yes kicked off their tour for the album "Tormato" with a dynamic live performance at the Rochester Community War Memorial. Released just before this recording in September 1978, “Tormato” was an album met with mixed reviews, contrasting sharply with their earlier, more celebrated works. Interestingly, "Tormato" reflects a moment of transition for the band; it showcased their willingness to experiment with different sounds while navigating internal changes. This live recording captures the essence of Yes during a pivotal time in their evolution. Though the sound quality might not be pristine, the energy and excitement of their performance shine through, giving fans a glimpse into Yes's ambitious spirit on stage. It’s fascinating to consider how this tour not only highlighted the new album but also set the stage for their continued legacy in the progressive rock scene. What a ride it was, right?
