Before their memorable live performance at Madison Square Garden on September 9, 1978, Yes had just released their album *Going for the One*, which came out in 1977. This album marked a pivotal moment in their career, showcasing a transition while still embodying their signature progressive rock sound. During this period, the band was riding high on the success of *Going for the One* as they toured to promote their subsequent album, *Tormato*. Interestingly, *Tormato* featured a unique blending of styles that divided fan opinion, yet it still showcased the band’s ambition and musical complexity. The Madison Square Garden concert highlighted the use of a revolutionary revolving circular stage—a bold innovation for live performances at that time. It's these inventive elements, combined with their rich melodies and intricate harmonies, that left an indelible mark on fans and solidified their reputation as pioneers in the progressive rock genre. What a moment it must've been!
