Yes Full Concert Live in Philadelphia at the Spectrum 1979
In June 1979, when Yes delivered their electrifying performance at the Philadelphia Spectrum, the band was riding high on the success of their album *Tormato*, released just a year prior, in 1978. Though *Tormato* received mixed reviews, it still showcased the band's signature blend of progressive rock and pop sensibilities, featuring notable tracks like “Future Times/Beyond and Before” and “Don’t Kill the Whale.” This live recording captures Yes during a pivotal phase, marking their transition as they explored more commercial sounds while retaining their progressive roots. Interestingly, this concert was part of the summer leg of their *Going for the One* tour, which followed shortly thereafter, demonstrating the band's dynamic evolution. The existing footage, although truncated, gives fans a glimpse of their theatrical stage presence and musicianship, elements that have earned them a legacy as one of the greats in the world of rock music.
