Yes

In July 1979, when Yes graced the stage in Philadelphia, they were riding high on the success of their 'Going for the One' album, which had been released just a year earlier. This period marked a fascinating chapter in their career, blending their signature progressive rock sound with a more accessible edge. Let's not forget, ‘Going for the One’ featured hits like “Wonderous Stories” and “Future Times / Rejoice,” showcasing their ability to meld intricate musicianship with lyrical poignancy. At this live recording, fans were treated to a mix of old favorites and newer material, highlighting their evolving sound. What’s especially interesting is how Yes managed to bring a sense of theatricality to their live performances—something that became a hallmark of their artistry. Capturing the energy of that Philadelphia show resonates even today, reminding us of the band’s dynamic presence and the vibrant community of fans that continued to grow around them.
