Venue: New Haven Veterans Memorial Coliseum Location: New Haven, Connecticut, United States Date: June 16, 1979

Let’s take a moment to dive into the fascinating world of Yes during their live performance at the New Haven Veterans Memorial Coliseum in 1979. This concert was part of the "Tourmato" tour, promoting their album *Tormato*, which had been released just prior to the tour in late 1978. The album showcased a shift in their sound, with a focus on more accessible melodies while still holding onto their progressive rock roots. Interestingly, *Tormato* includes tracks like "Future Times / Rejoice," which highlight their willingness to experiment even within commercial frameworks. By 1979, Yes was at a pivotal point; they were transitioning through various lineup changes and exploring new sonic territories while still delivering intricate live performances. Watching them on stage, you’d notice the energy and dedication they poured into their craft, something that fans had come to expect. And let’s be honest, there’s something special about capturing that raw energy on stage, don’t you think? The connection with the audience during these live shows is what truly makes their music resonate.
