Yes

Let’s take a little journey back to 1979, a pivotal year for the progressive rock legends, Yes. Just a couple months before their live performance at the Wings Stadium in Kalamazoo, the band released their album "Tormato," which came out in September 1978. Known for its striking cover art and somewhat mixed reviews, "Tormato" was a fascinating exploration of Yes's evolving sound, blending their sophisticated arrangements with more straightforward rock elements. It also marked a bit of a shift as they faced internal pressures and changes, including discussions about their artistic direction. Interestingly, this Kalamazoo concert was the first show of that year for the band, setting the stage for future tours and performances. By the time they hit the stage that night, fans were eager to hear how the new material resonated live, alongside their classic hits. There’s something exhilarating about witnessing a band’s raw energy in concert; it’s where their studio finesse collides with the electric atmosphere of a live audience.
