Yes

Before their exhilarating live performance at the Richfield Coliseum on September 19, 1978, Yes had just released their album “Tormato” a few weeks earlier, in September of that same year. “Tormato” marked a notable moment in their journey, showcasing a slight shift in their sound with a more accessible, radio-friendly approach while still weaving in the intricate musicality that fans loved. It was during this tour that Yes was riding the wave of their classic progressive rock sound, with album highlights like “Wonderous Stories” demonstrating their ability to blend poetic lyrics with complex structures. This live show featured the iconic lineup of Jon Anderson, Steve Howe, Chris Squire, Rick Wakeman, and Alan White, all of whom were masters of their craft, bringing a distinct energy to the performance. Interestingly, even though “Tormato” received mixed reviews, the band continued to captivate audiences with their dynamic stage presence and musicianship, creating a memorable experience that echoed long after the final notes faded.
