Yes

On June 9, 1979, Yes delivered a stunning live performance of "Siberian Khatru" at the International Amphitheater in Chicago, a testament to their enduring artistry and musical prowess. At this point in their career, the band had just released their album "Tormato" in late 1978, which continued to showcase their signature blend of progressive rock with a twist of pop sensibilities. While "Tormato" didn’t reach the heights of critical acclaim seen with previous albums like "Close to the Edge" or "Fragile," it still contained gems that fans treasured, including the very track performed in Chicago that night. The band’s ability to craft intricate, multi-layered compositions was evident, and they were known for their ambitious live shows that combined elaborate visuals with stunning musicianship. It’s fascinating to reflect on how Yes managed to keep pushing the boundaries of rock even amidst shifts in the music landscape during the late '70s.
