Yes Live: Full Concert Featuring Siberian Khatru, Perpetual Change, The Fish & Starship Trooper at Spectrum, Philadelphia
In June 1979, when Yes took the stage at the Spectrum in Philadelphia, they were right in the midst of their "Tormato" era, having released the album just months earlier in the same year. "Tormato" was a pivotal point in the band's career, blending their signature progressive rock sound with more accessible melodies. Interestingly, despite mixed reviews at the time, the album displayed the band's willingness to experiment, which is echoed in the live performances featured in the 1979 concert footage. During that show, you can hear the band deftly play classic tracks like "Siberian Khatru" and "Starship Trooper," showcasing their remarkable musicianship. It's fascinating to think about how the synergy between studio work and live presentation shapes the listener's experience—at that moment, Yes was both pushing boundaries and connecting deeply with fans.
