Yes

In June 1979, Yes was riding high on the incredible success of their album "Going for the One," which had been released just a year prior. This marked a peak moment for the band, with their unique blend of progressive rock continuing to resonate with fans around the world. The Philadelphia concert, captured at the Spectrum and famously performed "in the round," showcased not just their musical prowess but also their innovative stagecraft—they had a rotating stage! This method allowed fans from all angles to experience the performance up close, making it more of a shared event than just a show. An interesting fact about this period is how "Going for the One" returned them to a more straightforward rock sound compared to their earlier, more complex compositions. You can really feel that transition in songs like "I've Seen All Good People," which blends intricate melodies with a catchy, anthemic quality. It's a perfect testament to their evolution as artists while maintaining their artistic integrity.
